Aurum wanted to say something, but Shawn glanced over.He also tactfully said no more.It was over.Shawn said, "Gale, Molly is Joshua's mother. Don't think too much about a woman I have never met before."When a man really loves someone, he will explain it for fear that the other party will misunderstand him."And speaking of it... I am just purely curious about her and appreciate her talent. If there is a chance, I would like you to meet Molly too."What the hell!Gale snorted, turned around, and left.If she did not leave, this topic would not end!'I hope Shawn's concerns are dispelled!' she thought.This trip to the theme park was really frightening for Gale.Joshua and Nicole did not leave until it was dark.Nicole shook his hand. "Let's come again next time, Brother Joshua. By that time, I won't be sick anymore, and I can play all the games with you!""Okay, you will definitely drive away the illness and restore your health!"Nicole threw herself into his arms joyf
Shawn frowned slightly and said, "What kind of magical power does Joshua have that makes Nicole like him so much? They just played together in the theme park, she can't be so easily bought.""Joshua spent at least one day playing with her, spending his time and energy. What about you?""I?"Gale replied, "That's right. You are the one who can easily buy her off."Hearing these words finally made Shawn feel a little relieved.He said, "Nicole doesn't need my surname. Whether her surname is Warm or Wood, she is my daughter."Gale looked sideways at him. "You don't care at all? You don't want Nicole to change her surname to Wood in the future?""No need, it sounds nice."She muttered in a low voice, "Only the man who married into a girl's family will have a child that bears the woman's surname for the child.""Get married?" Shawn suddenly leaned over, touching the tip of his nose to hers. "I'm willing to get married, do you want to?"Gale was startled for a moment, then backed a
He responded with a small smile, "Okay."The elevator doors closed slowly, and the family of three disappeared.In a corner not far away, Natalie and Winnie emerged from hiding.Natalie asked, "Did you see them? Is that them?"Winnie nodded and said, "Yes, it's them! They're still wearing their matching outfits! Natalie, that woman is Gale, and the little girl in Mr. Wood's arms is their daughter, Nicole Warm!""That woman is indeed Gale. It's her. She's back."Natalie also recognized her.Others cannot imitate Gale's temperament.If an ordinary woman were to marry Shawn, she would have climbed to the top of a wealthy family, only wear famous brand names, and be adorned full of jewels.However, Gale was very low-key, even plain.Shawn spent a lot of money to buy the Heart of the Deep Sea for her back then, but he could not even get her to smile.Gale was an unpredictable woman who was hard to please. She has a sense of aloofness that despises money.What Natalie hated the m
Meanwhile, in the ward.Just as Shawn put Nicole on the hospital bed, she woke up."Daddy..." She rubbed her eyes, sounding sleepy.Hearing this voice, Shawn's heart almost melted. "Well, Daddy is here, go back to sleep."Nicole sat up. "Where's Mommy?""She's gone to take a shower."Nicole stared blankly at the bathroom door, with a sleepy look on her face as she had just woken up.She seemed in a daze, but she was actually thinking about something."Daddy, do you like brother Joshua?" she said suddenly."Me?""Yes."Shawn pursed his lips deeply.'Do I like Joshua? It's a little more complicated than that.'The first time they met, Joshua climbed onto his lap and asked if he wanted to be his father.The second time they met, he rescued Joshua.When they met for the third time, he trapped Joshua in the hotel and pressed for Molly's whereabouts.Today was the fourth meeting.Joshua was as smooth as ever, even though he was a little kid.Seeing that Shawn did not speak
Gale pushed down the panic in her heart. Nicole said, "Mommy, if I can, I want to attend the same school as Joshua. It doesn't matter where it is."Gale patted her on the head. "Yes, I understand."In truth, Gale was thinking about Joshua's future as well.Joshua was incredibly intelligent and an amazing piano genius as well. If he kept on staying in that small city, his experiences and exposure would be limited. He would not be able to see the vast world.It was too small of a place, and it was way less developed than Sea City.Gale had planned on waiting until Joshua was older. She had planned on waiting until Joshua was in primary school. For the sake of her children's future, she could go to any city except for Sea City.Yet, fate loved to toy with her. Even after going through so much, she still returned in the end.…At the Lefting family residence, Joshua sat on the sofa with his chin on his little hand, staring into space."Joshua, here are some fresh cherries. Why
"That's right. Then, Gale would lose everything. She can't beat Shawn. Even if this ends up in court, Shawn has the advantage. Shawn has money and power, and the court will give the both of you to Shawn. That's not something you want, right?"Joshua answered, "Yes, I understand that, which is why I didn't acknowledge him in the park. I'm not angry, Uncle Lefting. I…"He stopped.Aurum looked at him and said, "What? Tell me what's on your mind. I'll do everything in my power to help you.""I want to stay in Sea City. I want to go back with Mommy after Nicole's surgery. I don't want her to leave alone even if she came with Nicole. She'll feel very sad if that happens." How could Aurum possibly reject a reason like that?It was so mature and caring.That was right. If Nicole was taken by the Wood family, then Gale would be all alone.How sad would she be then?Yet, Gale was so strong. She would always bury everything in her heart.Those beside her would not even know how to con
She looked a bit fierce, and she seemed to be plotting a lot of things!In the living room.Natalie let out a smile the moment she saw Aurum, saying softly, "Aurum, where were you today? The company said you weren't in.""I was settling some private matters."Natalie said, "I went to make reservations for our wedding banquet today. I looked at it so much that my eyes feel so tired now."Aurum nodded. "You've worked hard today. You should have just left it to the housekeeper to handle.""It's a once-in-a-lifetime event for us. I wanted to make sure that I was a part of the process. If I make sure that I did all the details during the wedding, I'll feel very accomplished!""Alright, as long as you're happy."Natalie said, "That's right. I got some really high-quality ingredients from the banquet providers just now. I plan on giving them as gifts.."Aurum never cared about those things. Natalie was usually the one who dealt with everything.He usually just agreed with whatever s
The moment Gale left, Shawn snorted in disdain."Daddy, what happened?""He's just trying to gain some sympathy points. Otherwise, why would he give those herbs for no reason?" Shawn said.Nicole could not understand.Shawn put her on his lap. "Nicole, do you like Uncle Lefting?""Yes!""Do you like him more than me?"Nicole was stunned at the question.After a long moment, she said, "Why would I choose between you too?Shawn finally realized that his jealousy was showing too much. He let out a cough and forgot about it.If Gale knew about it, she would definitely call him childish. Very quickly, Gale came back with a smile on her face. She brought the herbs into the kitchen. "The doctor said it was good, as long as it's not in excess."Shawn scoffed again.It looked like Aurum had not been that casual with the gift. He had probably made sure that Nicole could eat it first.Aurum was showing a lot of care.If Aurum was not going to get married to Natalie, and if the new
