Aurum would do anything for Gale without complaint or regret, but he knew that it was not because of love.It was because of that feeling.What if Gale was that little girl? Aurum really wanted to believe it, but he dared not jump to a conclusion. After all, this matter was too coincidental!Maybe Gale's birthmark was different from Jennie Yarn's?Although they are all heart-shaped and on the waist, maybe it was a little deformed and the position was slightly off."Uncle Aurum? Uncle Aurum? What are you thinking about? You are so distracted," Joshua yelled again and again."No...it's nothing. Joshua, are there many people who know about your mommy's birthmark?""I can count them on the one hand. Mommy is a girl. How can a girl's body be shown to anyone?"Aurum nodded.He wished he could find Gale now and check the birthmark on her body.However, doing so would be too abrupt.Although, if he asked to see the birthmark, Gale would agree to him.After all, he has helped her

Joshua replied, "Yuckie!!!!"He tugged Joshua's ear. "You!"Joshua stuck out his tongue, broke away from his hand, and ran forward quickly. "I'm so hungry. I'm going home first!""Slow down, don't fall.""I know!"Actually, Joshua did not want to see Natalie.Especially when he saw Uncle Aurum being so close to her, he almost vomited out his last night's meal!He just did not like Natalie!He felt something was off!Aurum was always worried, staring at Joshua's back, afraid that someone would bump into him.Natalie carefully observed his expression and could tell that he really liked Joshua.However, in her impression, Aurum was usually neutral toward children.When a relative's child came to visit, he just asked politely and did not even hug them.However, for this kid named Joshua...It is different.Why?Was there anything special about this little boy?Natalie began to pay attention.Looking back, she had to ask Zoe!Although she was not married into the Lefting

"I know you are very sad about what happened. Gale, take it easy. No matter what, Nicole is yours. She was just bewitched."Peter thought for a while before saying, "You and Mr. Wood should have a good discussion about how to deal with it so that Nicole can return to normal. He is very capable, and he will find a way."Gale replied, "Her name is Winnie. It was she who was brought back to Temperley Hall and is his new favorite. That woman has been under his control all this time, but she suddenly jumped out and pretended to be me.""You think Nicole suddenly doesn't know you because… Mr. Wood?"Gale picked up the noodles, and the heat dazzled her eyes.She did not know whether Nicole became like this because of Shawn.She did not believe everything Winnie said.It was just that when she was emotional, she had no place to vent. She could only hate him and loathe him!If Shawn was clean and innocent, how could Winnie find a reason to frame him?"He shouldn't be the one doing this

She had also become a mother now, and she understood how her mother felt at that time too.If Gale knew that she would not live long and would leave this world, she would, like Wendy, make arrangements for the child's future, so that she could die with peace of mind.The recording was very long.The first half was a conversation between Wendy and Sam... In the second half, Shawn's voice appeared.Wendy was emotional, and every word she said was harsh, forcing Shawn to get a divorce.Although Shawn was displeased, he responded slowly. He did not deliberately provoke her, and he kept trying to call the doctor.It was Wendy who took the initiative to stop him.Until Gale heard that poisonous oath…"I only love Gale in this life, I will always treat her well, and I will never change my heart!""If I, Shawn, violated it, then I will be struck by lightning, I will die badly, I will have no descendants for life, and the Wood family will go bankrupt. I will go to the eighteenth floor

Later, Wendy died, and he was the only one present.He did not kill her mother, but her mother had a cerebral infarction and became a vegetable until she died because she could not accept his cruel methods against the Warm family.He caused it.Now, Nicole mistook Winnie for her mother.That was not what Shawn wanted to see.However, he was the one who banned her before, and he was the one who brought her back to Temperley Hall, and it was he who wanted to drive her out of Sea City and never show up, but she suddenly appeared in the ward......Shawn himself was a contradictory existence."Gale..." Peter touched her head with his big palm. "Don't think about it so much, you should have a good rest first. We will think of a solution tomorrow.""Okay.""Go to bed. I will still be here."Gale dragged her tired body to the bedroom.Peter's eyes flashed with unbearable sadness.Peter said to himself, "Gale, if you hadn't come to me and become my daughter, you wouldn't have experi

How to deal with Winnie and make Nicole regain consciousness? That was the most important and urgent thing for him right now!If this continued, the relationship between him and Gale would become more and more estranged amid repeated suspicions!No matter how much he loved her, he still could not stand her indifference and hatred again and again!"Mr. Wood, are you… staying here tonight? Aren't you going to see your wife?" the bodyguard asked cautiously.Shawn had been here for several hours.The ground was full of cigarette butts and ash.He did not have the means to leave as well, nor did he mean to get out of the car!"No."He was here, looking at the window of her bedroom, and already felt at ease.If they met, they would have another fight.Shawn did not want to quarrel with her.When a person is angry, what they say is the most hurtful.He did not want to get hurt by Gale's angry words.In the same way, Shawn also understood that most of what Gale said was because of

Peter wondered what exactly was so important for Aurum to be so anxious.He looked at Aurum. "We've known each other for so long, and you and Gale are friends who tell each other everything. Just ask whatever you want to. As long as I know the answer to it, I'll tell you.""Mr. Warm, I heard from Joshua yesterday that Gale has a heart-shaped birthmark on her waist. Is that true?" Peter's expression immediately changed.However, he nodded and acknowledged it. "Yes, that's right.""Was the birthmark always there? Was she born with it?"Peter nodded. "O-of course. Why would it be called a birthmark otherwise?"Aurum pushed the matter. "Then, what year, what month and what day was Gale born? What hospital was she born in?"Peter could no longer keep his cool."Aurum, why are you asking all of this? Don't you know Gale's birthday very well?"Aurum looked at Peter with a resolved expression.He could see the minute changes in Peter's expression, and Aurum felt like his guess was

He adopted her!Peter would always remember how long his wife had been depressed when she found out she could not bear children at the hospital.Even though they had married from an arranged marriage and had not fallen in love before they married each other, they had developed very strong feelings for each other after being together.It was more than just romantic or familial love.Peter was open-minded and did not want to get a divorce. After Wendy had tried and failed to have children with various methods, they decided to adopt a child at an orphanage after discussing it with each other.At the orphanage, the director brought out all the children and had them stand in a line.Those children had either lost their parents or had been sent over by kind-hearted folk after being picked up from the streets.They looked timid but were full of desire.After all, as long as they got adopted, they would be able to leave that place. They would be able to go to a new family and have thei

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
