After comforting Nicole, Winnie stood up. "Get out, don't talk in front of the child."Shawn was a little surprised that she was so cooperative and willing to talk.He had always been cautious and only felt that Winnie's anomaly was very strange.He was afraid she had come up with some new tricks!"What do you want to talk about? Are you blackmailing us with Nicole?" Shawn asked.Winnie smiled. "Didn't Gale ask me who would snatch Nicole away from her? I plan to answer her question!""How can you tell the truth!"Shawn saw through her trick immediately!Winnie shrugged. "Forget it. Let's not talk about it. Mr. Wood doesn't believe me, so I don't need to speak."Gale looked at her fixedly. "Say it.""Okay."Winnie walked outside the door.Gale raised his foot to follow, but Shawn held her back. "Gale, she's not that kind, don't be fooled by her.""Shawn..." She pushed his hand away. "I really don't know what else I can do."He pursed his lips and could only warn, "Don't be

"But Shawn, you are the only person I have let my guard down.""You are the one who has the best chance of attacking... I can't kill my own daughter myself, right?"Shawn asked deeply, "Why would I harm my own daughter?""You want a child!" Gale's voice rose unconsciously. "You gave Nicole shares, and the old man also gave her his. You want to keep her, you..."Her voice choked, and she trembled unconsciously."Gale, do you know what you're talking about?""Only you could do it. Winnie is the woman who is by your side… You join hands with her to take away my Nicole..."This thought completely crushed Gale.Her last glimmer of hope was completely shattered.If the person manipulating all of this was Shawn... What could she do?What chance could she have of getting her daughter back?She was totally desperate!Shawn was about to speak, but Winnie was one step ahead. "Congratulations, Gale, you have finally been enlightened.""Winnie!" Shawn roared angrily, "You're sowing dis

Was he that despicable and shameless to this extent?Gale's eyes glistened with tears. "I really want to believe you, but I can't. I can't convince myself...You wanted her. I discussed it with you… Let Nicole make her own choice! Why did you promise me verbally on the surface but do this kind of thing behind my back!"Winnie snorted. "Gale, why do you blame him? Don't you see what you have done? You jumped into the sea and came back to life. You gave birth to a daughter with your own surname, and you don't want to return her to the Wood family. You are nothing but a selfish person!"She began to defend Shawn, "Mr. Wood just wants to get back his daughter. Don't make it seem like the whole world is sorry for you. You want Nicole so much because she is from the Wood family. You don't want to lose your glory and wealth!"However, Shawn said nothing.Although he was powerful, he was also human.His heart was also made of flesh.All Winnie needed to say was a few sentences, and Gale

Shawn followed Gale's back closely.Actually, what Winnie said also makes sense.If he had caught up now, Gale would not pay attention to him and would only hate him!He would let his bodyguard watch over her! It would be fine, just as long as nothing happened to her!"Mr. Wood, Gale doesn't love you. Why do you continue to chase after her? Just look at me. I look similar to her. I have what she has, and now Nicole also...ah!"Winnie was slapped hard, and her forehead hit the wall with a bang.Shawn withdrew his hand."Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror?"Winnie covered her face. "Mr. Wood, if you hit me, Nicole will hate you even more when she sees my slap print and the wound on my forehead!"Shawn's eyes were about to burst into flames.He wished he could kill this woman right now!"Winnie, who told you to talk nonsense in front of Gale, saying that Nicole recognized you as a mother, and I did it?! What's the point of you framing me like this!" Shawn asked sh

Gale stood up and continued walking forward.It was dark by the time she arrived at a door.She realized she was at Aurum's house.Gale blinked. "Have I walked this far? I actually came to Aurum's house..."She remembered again that Joshua lived here.Her Joshua, mischievous but clever son!Gale called Aurum, then sat on the bench by the lake, waiting quietly.A small voice was heard. "Mommy!"Joshua ran toward Gale.If it were before, Gale would definitely have a straight face, pretending to be serious, saying, "Run slowly, lest you fall."However, seeing her son running toward her, seeing the joy and expectation in his eyes, Gale's heart softened instantly."Joshua..."She opened her arms and caught Joshua, who was rushing toward her.Her son, her baby!Raising a son was completely different from raising a daughter. Gale pampered Nicole, like a little princess.She had higher requirements and stricter requirements for Joshua, hoping that he could become a real man, sta

"Don't worry, baby, I'm your son. I don't know what the Wood family is, and I don't know who my father is. I'll be where you are. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."Joshua tried his best to comfort Gale's broken heart.He knew how sad it was for Gale to lose Nicole temporarily.Gale pinched his little face, and the depression and pain in her heart slowly disappeared."You're still young, and I shouldn't be the one to make decisions for you, and you shouldn't disregard your own real opinions for the sake of me. Joshua, you can choose to follow Mommy or Daddy at any time."Joshua also looked at her without blinking his eyes. "I don't have a father. I have never seen my father since I was born."Gale sighed.Of course, she understood what her son was thinking!He was so sensible!"It's my fault. Why do you have to choose between mom and dad..." Gale lowered his voice, "Why don't mom and dad live happily and lovingly together so that you can have a complete family."This time, i

'I wonder what Natalie would think?' she thought.Gale thought for a while and said, "It's just that Joshua will cause you trouble?"Aurum said, "You are always thinking of others. We have known each other for so many years, and every time I do my best to help you, no matter the trouble, no matter the cost. Gale, why are you still being so polite?"Every time, Aurum stretched out his hand to give her a hand.Every time, Aurum was by her side.Every time, she owed Aurum a huge favor.It was impossible to pay off in this lifetime!Gale could only say thank you, but the word 'thank you' was so powerless."You just do what you want. Winnie won't be arrogant for long, and Nicole can't always mistake her for her mother. Shawn will find out the reason, and I'm also looking for it secretly..." Aurum said.Gale asked softly, "What if... Shawn did this?"Aurum was taken aback."Winnie said it herself. She said that she succeeded because of Shawn's help. Otherwise, with her own ability

Anyway, Joshua's brain worked much faster than a normal three-year-old's. Aurum will be surprised by his intelligence again and again.Now...No matter what Joshua said, he could keep his face expressionless.However, having said that, if he had met Gale earlier, maybe...He would be moved.It was getting late.Gale said, "I'm going back first. Joshua, you have to be obedient. If you miss me, you can call.""I know, I know, let's go... Hey, wait.""Um?"Joshua asked, "Where are you going? The hospital? Nicole doesn't know you anymore. Are you going to be angry?""I'm going back to my grandfather's house. I still have my father, your grandfather," Gale replied.Only then did Joshua feel relieved and nod. "Okay, I love you, Mommy."Gale hugged him and kissed him, then waved.Aurum and Joshua just watched her leave.Joshua sighed.Aurum asked, "Miss her already?""Unfortunately. I regret it.""Regret?" Aurum patted his head. "You are a child. Do you know what regret is?"

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
