Summer held her hand. "We'll keep you company. I'm Nicole's godmother. There's no way I can miss out on this." Joe said, "And I'm Nicole's godfather."Summer was confused. "When did this happen?"Joe asked, "What? With my relationship with Shawn, don't I have the right to be her godfather? If you can be her godmother, can't I be her godfather?"It sounded reasonable.Yet, why did she feel like it was so weird?Before she could understand it, Gale said, "Godparents should be a pair. Are you two a pair?"Summer suddenly understood.She knew something was wrong!Summer said, "Joe, you were trying to take advantage of me! I was almost fooled!"Joe was stunned as well. He never even thought about that. "When was I trying to take advantage of you? You're the godmother, and I'm the godfather. Why does there need to be a relationship between us?"Those two had been bickering from the start.However, as they bickered on, Gale did not feel as heavy-hearted.She said, "If Nicole ask

He even made it known that whoever managed to get pregnant with Shawn's child would be able to do anything they wanted to the Wood family. He would give them anything!Yet, Shawn's will was too firm. Even though women threw themselves at him, not a single person managed to succeed. To the rich and noble, children was the continuation of their line. How could Lucas allow his family to end with Shawn?After so long, Nicole finally appeared. Even if she were a girl, Lucas would not let her go easily."Luckily, they don't know about Joshua. Otherwise, you would have really just helped the Wood family raise a child for four years and ended up with nothing for yourself," Peter said.Gale's expression sank. "Dad, let's take it one step at a time. If Nicole wants to stay behind, I'll respect her choice.""Nicole is still young. No matter how mature she is, she's just a child. She doesn't understand what it all means. She'll just feel that being with her father doesn't mean she'll lose h

Winnie clenched her fists excitedly.Natalie had instructed Winnie that once Nicole's surgery was over and the anesthesia wore off, she needed to be by Nicole's bed when she opened her eyes.Furthermore, she had to be the first person Nicole saw!As she looked at Nicole, Winnie needed to constantly say, "I'm your mommy, I'm your mommy, I'm your mommy."That way, Nicole will see Winnie as her mother!It sounded mysterious and magical, but that was exactly what Natalie asked Winnie to do.Winnie could not understand how it was done.Based on what she knew, Natalie had never even approached Gale and only gave her some herbs.Could those herbs be special?"Aurum?"Suddenly, Natalie's expression changed. "Why is he here?!"Natalie, who had been calm the whole time, immediately started to panic when she saw Aurum's car.Natalie immediately started the car. "No, he'll notice me. Let's go!"She pulled down her cap and sped on from the other exit.Aurum stopped in front of the hos

Children are just ignorant and annoying.The entrance of the operating room was silent. Everyone was waiting patiently. No one noticed that Aurum and Joshua were there in the stairway, separated by a wall.Time passed slowly.As time passed, everyone got more worried.Gale could not eat nor drink, and she did not know if they would survive.Finally, the lights in the operating room went off!Gale stood up immediately, but her eyes went black because it was too sudden.She swayed."What's wrong, Gale?""It's okay." She closed her eyes and walked quickly to the door of the operating room, expecting the doctor to appear.The doctor came out and took off the mask.The doctor said, "Congratulations, the operation was successful. It went very well!"Gale was stunned for a second, then laughed happily.She smiled gleefully with tears in her eyes.Tears of joy!"Great, great. Nicole is finally a healthy child..." Gale muttered to herself. "Yes, now she just needs to take a goo

"It is normal for Gale to be with Nicole. Shawn is an adult, and all he did was just donate bone marrow, and he didn't have an operation. Do you want Gale to focus on you?" Summer said.Joe pinched her.However, Shawn's expression was as usual, with no sign of happiness, anger, or sadness.He took a step forward and said, "I'll go and see Nicole."In fact, Shawn could not tell what he truly felt.Nicole was the one who performed the operation, and Gale cared more about her daughter as she should.Why was he still upset?Could it be that he still wanted to compete with his daughter for her attention?After thinking about it, Shawn shook his head, feeling a little ridiculous.Fortunately, she was his daughter. If this were his son, he would probably be really jealous.Nicole was lying on the hospital bed, and the instruments beside her were ticking non-stop.Gale was sitting beside her, with her hand gently on Nicole.Hearing footsteps, she looked back.Gale said, "Shawn? Ar

Hearing that made his heart ache.Of course, Shawn understood how important Nicole was to Gale!It was her life!She would give him her life! What was she going to do?Shawn said, "Nicole will follow you and will only follow you forever. Gale, life alone is too difficult. I have lived like this for four years. I know how painful it is. I don't want you to go through that.""I don't trust you alone… Besides, how do you know that Nicole will choose me? You are the one who takes care of her growing up. My company and devotion to her are only for this short period of time. One month. She just finds it fresh and curious, and the person she loves the most is still you.""Nicole is yours, I will not snatch her away nor will I take her away. You will be happy only when she is by your side.""Gale, I just want you to be happy."Gale's ear was pressed against his chest, listening to the beating of his heart.He actually thought of her so much...It was beyond her expectations."Shawn.

There was an eternal bond between him and her. It was impossible not to see each other again in this life.Even if Nicole followed her, she would still think about her father, and she would let Nicole see her father.It turned out that the statement 'when you have a child, it's different' was true.Gale deeply understood it.It was getting dark.Gale stayed by the hospital bed with so many thoughts in his head, but she did not know what to do with them.There was a sudden knock on the door of the ward.She got up and went to open the door. "Hey?""I bought you a meal." Summer shook the lunch box in her hand. "You haven't eaten anything all day, it's not good for your health.""I'm not hungry.""I know you are not, but humans need food. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry."Summer forcibly pulled her and sat down on the chair in the corridor. "Eat quickly, I will watch over you, and you are not allowed to leave until you finish eating."Gale opened the lunch box.

"Uh… Sorry, it's my first time delivering food, and I can't find a place. I'm downstairs now. Can you go over and get it?"The tone was very anxious and humble, and she kept apologizing. "I'm sorry, I wasted your time. If I am late for this order, I will be penalized."Although Summer has a grumpy temper, she is actually quite kind and never makes things difficult for others.She stood up and said, "Okay. Wait for me."Summer walked toward the elevator while answering the phone.She did not give it a second thought.People were coming and going in this hospital, and there were nurses there. Summer walked into the elevator.There was no one at the door of the ward.Natalie hung up the phone and ordered, "Now! Winnie, please be smart, success or failure depends on this one move. As long as Nicole calls you Mommy, your glory and wealth will be yours!"With Nicole as the backer, who could do anything to Winnie?"Yes!" Winnie responded.Her eyes gleamed with a tenacity to fight

Summer didn't know, but the more she said that, the more unsettled Gale felt inside. Everyone was telling her that Shawn wasn't that busy, didn't need to work overtime, let alone stay in the office until late at night. So, what was he doing that night? Did he have some secret that she couldn't know?Just as she was pondering this, several exclamations suddenly rang out in the office. "Wow! Look at this!" "Oh my god!" "This is so explosive!" "The hype is skyrocketing!"Several colleagues were glued to their computer screens, their faces full of gossip and excitement. Gale was puzzled and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"Summer immediately picked up her phone. "Let me see... Oh my god!"Gale grew even more curious. What on earth had happened? She hurried over and stared at Summer's phone screen.News stories flashed one after another, relentlessly. Gale quickly caught the most crucial information: "Ivy announced her withdrawal from her latest film, leaving the female

She wondered what Shawn was doing that night, that he came home only at dawn. Where did he go? Was he lying?Just a moment ago, Gale merely felt something was off, but now, she was overwhelmed with a strong sense of panic. Joshua's words about how women flocked to Shawn and how men would not be suddenly busy, suddenly flooded her mind.Even though Gale tried hard to tell herself not to overthink things, that it was impossible, and that Shawn deserved her full trust, she was having a hard time controlling herself!“Gale?" Summer called her several times. “What are you thinking about? You seem so distracted.”“Nothing,” she shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’m getting ready to work on the design. I really can’t delay any further.”She wasn’t in the mood to joke around with Joe and Summer anymore, so she turned and sat down in front of her computer. Her mind was completely blank. What on earth was Shawn doing that night when he came home so late? Clearly, there wasn’t any urgent matter

Summer chuckled, "Look at you, anyone who doesn't know might think I bully you just because my position is higher than yours. Gale, come on, show some authority. I heard from Joe that Shawn has all the shares...""Shh!" Gale quickly covered her mouth. This was a sensitive matter; it wouldn't do to discuss it casually. If someone with ill intentions overheard, it could lead to unnecessary trouble."Okay, okay, I won't say anything," Summer understood her meaning. "Let's talk about work then? Oh great designer, where's your design draft? It was due last week! You've been delaying for quite some time!"Gale looked embarrassed. "I... I haven't finished it yet...""Show me the draft.""I haven't even started the preliminary draft...""What?!" Summer looked shocked. "Gale, how did you become so lax?""There's so much going on, taking care of two children, and Shawn..." Gale's voice trailed off.At this moment, Joe suddenly appeared from nowhere. "Is Shawn clinging to you, or are you

“Sorry, Gale, I'll be more careful next time.” He hugged her, lightly brushing her forehead with his chin.Gale wondered if she was overthinking things. It was just normal work busyness that made Shawn come home a bit late, and she hadn't really minded or dwelled on it. But, it seemed this issue kept resurfacing in her mind.Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt lighter."Ah..." Gale exclaimed, "Shawn!"He scooped her up horizontally and headed upstairs in large strides. It was another night of intense entanglement. Gale was tired and sleepy. Her eyes were barely open, but just before drifting off to sleep, she managed to say, "I have to go to work tomorrow, on time... no more skipping.""Okay."With Shawn's response, she immediately fell into a deep sleep.She left everything else to him… She was going to fall apart! She didn't know what was going on with Shawn, these past two nights have been endless. Before, he might ask for too much, but he would care about her physica

The trip back home was serene and filled with warmth for Gale. Shawn in contrast, felt tumultuous. By the time they arrived home, the two little ones were already fast asleep in the back seat, slumped over in different directions."Just a moment ago they were chattering non-stop, now they're all curled up asleep," Gale chuckled. "No matter how clever they are, they're still just kids."They were her little darlings. She opened the back door and gently lifted Nicole out. For some reason, when she lifted Nicole, she felt a bit unsteady and swayed."Careful," Shawn noticed and reached out, pulling her and their daughter into his embrace.Gale leaned securely against him. "With you here, how could I fall?""No worries, maybe Nicole's just gotten heavier as she's grown. I'm having trouble carrying her now," Gale said."Let me."She tilted her chin. "You take Joshua. I can manage for this short walk, really.""I can handle both," Shawn replied."Yeah, yeah, I know you're strong."S

"Alright, alright," Joshua shrugged and said, "Old man, you do your thing. Actually, I hope you could be a bit busier.""You want me to be busier?""Yeah, just a bit busier than now. Not too much, just a moderate increase," Joshua gestured, "You're always so leisurely, it makes me uneasy, Shawn!"Shawn asked, "What makes you uneasy?""Your business. I'll have to inherit it in the future! If you continue being so idle and not managing the company well, when I take over, I'll be swamped! Shawn, can't you think about your son?"So that was Joshua's concern. He feared Shawn wouldn’t manage the company well and it would burden him in the future.Gale sighed repeatedly, "How did I end up with such... "She couldn't find the right words.Smart?Mischievous?Shawn replied calmly, "Joshua, do you now realize you're my son? I should consider you? Then let me ask you, what do you want to call me?""Daddy."Joshua smoothly said.Both Shawn and Gale were somewhat surprised.He actuall

"Joshua!" Gale turned around to look at him. "What's been going on in that little head of yours day after day?"Joshua replied seriously, "I'm thinking about you, Mommy. Shawn leaves work on time every day, never stays late. Suddenly he's busy until midnight. Don't you think that's a bit strange?"As he said this, Gale felt something wasn't quite right. But she trusted Shawn enough. The company was big, with lots of business, so the occasional unexpected situation was normal. Even if she pushed the thought further, what would Shawn do? Would he be seeing other women? Gale wasn't concerned at all because Shawn wouldn't give any woman a chance! He loved only her and she was confident that she held the only place in his heart."Alright, I think you've been watching too many dramas lately," Gale said. "Joshua, from now on, you need to cut down on your TV drama time!""No! I refuse!""Joshua, your protest is futile!"Joshua was getting frustrated; he really wanted to watch TV.After

Joshua reluctantly said goodbye to Ivy, "Bye-bye, Ivy. I'll come over again when I have time. You can come to my house too! Love you! Mwah mwah!"He kept blowing kisses."Shawn," Gale looked at him, "Does your son know no shame?""I'm starting to suspect he might have a genetic mutation."Both Shawn and Gale were quite reserved by nature, especially in expressing their feelings. They loved subtly and rarely voiced it openly. But Joshua was different. He worked his charm on everyone from the old Lucas down to babies. He could make anyone happy if he wanted to!The car moved along the road.Gale asked, "What do you think about Ivy's condition today?""What do I think?""Yes.""I didn’t observe closely," Shawn replied. "Why?"Gale couldn't help but laugh, "I allow you to look and give your opinion. It's fine. You don’t have to create your distance so strictly.""She's better than last time," Shawn said. "Beyond that, I don’t know."Even if he knew, he couldn't say.Gale reac

Ivy stared at Gale, her eyes bright and clear.“Gale, if I hold the truth in my hands, would you want me to reveal it?”Gale nodded firmly. “Yes!”“Do you want to know the whole truth?”“I do!”Ivy blinked, then suddenly smiled. “Okay, okay, Gale, I know what to do now.”“Can you tell me now?”“Not yet.”“Why?” Gale asked. “Have you been threatened?”She grew tense all of a sudden.Ivy shook her head. “No. It’s just too complicated to explain in a few words. But with your support, I suddenly feel stronger and know what I need to do!”Even if President Wood tried to stop her, she would expose it. She would vent her anger, punish Paul, tear off Aurum’s hypocritical mask, let Gale know Aurum's ugliness... Ivy decided to act on her own. She resolved silently.Smells of food wafted from the kitchen.“Dinner’s ready,” Ivy smiled. “Joshua, Nicole, did you wash your hands?”They replied, “We’re going now!”“I’ll take you.”“No,” Gale stopped her. “They’re big enough to wash the
