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
For so many years, Aurum had been thinking about and longing for that girl. He had forever stored her voice and pretty smile in his head.He was the one who wanted to find her and bring her back to the Yarn family the most.However, what would happen to Natalie if the girl was suddenly back?The Yarn family had already been at peace for so many years. What kind of trouble would this stir?"I understand. Thank you for your advice," Aurum said.Peter sighed. "I wasn't really giving any advice. I was just thinking of Gale. Parents always want what's best for their children. As long as it'll make her happier, then do it."Aurum nodded, composing himself.He was already sure that Gale was adopted by the Warm family!She was not actually their child!Even though Peter never said it directly, he had implied as much!That secret was something only Aurum knew at that moment.The matter of bringing Gale back to the Yarn family would be very difficult and delicate!Especially when it
He walked even faster than before.Gale was confused.Only when Aurum drove the car off did Gale ask, "Dad, did Mr. Lefting come to see you?""He was passing by and came in to pay a visit.""Passing by? Our place is in the complete opposite direction to his company." Gale asked.Peter coughed, answering vaguely, "I don't know. Aurum just came in for a few words with me. He didn't mention anything."Gale could not figure out what Aurum was there for, no matter how she tried.Whatever, he might have actually just happened to pass by."Gale, are you going to the hospital to see Nicole today?" Peter changed the topic in a hurry. "I'll go with you.""Nicole doesn't want to see me. Even if I go, I'd just be standing at the door."She could not do anything.That sense of powerlessness made Gale feel exhausted. She did not want to go through that again for the moment.She needed to calm down.She did not want to hear Nicole calling Winnie her mother.Peter did not know how to con
Peach was shouting in the office, "Ah! It's Gale! It's really Gale!"She was like a fan who had just met her idol.No, it was even more than that!Gale had no idea her arrival had caused such a stir.She headed right for Shawn's office.Fiona was tongue-tied at the sight of Gale. "M-Mrs. Wood, y-you're looking for…""Shawn.""This way, please."Fiona led the way, knocking at the door. "Mr. Wood.""What is it?" Shawn's voice sounded incredibly impatient. "Is the sky falling?"He had not slept, and his whole body smelled of cigarettes. He had just showered in the office's washroom and was putting on clothes when Fiona disturbed him.Did he not tell Fiona not to look for him unless the sky was falling?!Gale looked at Fiona. "The sky is falling? What does he mean?""Uhm…"Fiona did not know how to explain.The moment Shawn heard Gale's voice, he immediately fastened his tie and rushed out, pushing the door open!"Gale?"She was actually here.She had come to the company
The worse Shawn and Gale fought, the happier Winnie would be.Gale lowered her head before she said softly, "Fine. I was just letting my frustrations get to me last night. I… I trust you. I don't think you'd help Winnie hurt Nicole."Shawn paused slightly with his tea in hand.Did he mishear things?Was he dreaming?Gale said she trusted him?Before Shawn could fully process it, he heard Gale say, "I was just too emotional yesterday. Don't take what I said to heart. Just forget it."Shawn looked down slightly, and he gently pursed his lips.She was apologizing.In a gentle manner.He understood.The fact that she said she trusted him already surprised him enough, but she was actually admitting she was wrong to him!Shawn put his cup down and looked right at Gale.Gale avoided his eyes but knew that he was looking at her. She suddenly felt shy and annoyed at the same time. Her face flushed red, including her neck!When Aurum had been staring at her even though she had just
It was definitely not impossible.However, in front of Gale's hatred, that little bit of love was nothing!Gale smiled slightly. "Shawn, it means that you can have your pick of any woman you want in the world, as long as it's not me.""You're the only one I want.""But I don't want to be with you."Shawn's eyes glinted.He wanted a smoke, but he knew that she did not like the smell. His hand twitched subconsciously.Shawn said in a low voice, "Galey, you…Are you still not able to forgive me? Are you still not willing to give me a chance?"Gale answered, "I've given you a chance."He was shocked. He pursed his lips. "When?"How did he not know that?Otherwise, he would have seized the chance tightly!Gale said, "I thought about being friends with you for the sake of our child. Even if Nicole stays here with you, even if I'm not in Sea City, even if we get a divorce and are no longer husband and wife, we'd still be Nicole's parents."Alone, she could be prideful and not turn
