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
"Galey, there aren't many people in the world who truly know themselves. So, there are many things that do not need to be said."Shawn was surrounded by people who were greedy for his power and wealth. All of them were only close to him for the benefits!It caused Shawn to become cold and emotionless out of necessity. He could not show any emotion!"That's right. If you don't say anything, then others need to guess and try to figure out what you're thinking. With your position, there are many people who are willing to do their best to figure out your intentions. Yet, just now, you put down your pride in front of me to explain things to me in detail. In your eyes, I'm that special person.""Galey, you've always been the most special person to me."After a pause, Shawn added, "You're the most special, not one of them, but the only one."He explained a lot to her.She did not listen before.Even if she did, she did not believe it.Shawn had thought that Winnie would have succeede
Shawn sat down next to her.The sofa sank down slightly.His aura and his scent suddenly enveloped Gale.He had clearly done nothing.Yet, Shawn sitting down in front of her and next to her felt like two incredibly different things!It got worse when Shawn reached out and pulled her into his arms."Hey, you…"Gale pushed her hands into his chest.He did not move.She pushed again, but he ended up hugging her even more tightly. Shawn rubbed his chin lightly against her ear. "Galey, sometimes, I wonder how much of an evil monster I could be for me to fail to get the woman I love over and over again."Gale suddenly stopped pushing him.He described himself as an evil monster.That sounded a bit too much."I didn't kill my mother-in-law, but she ended up paralyzed because of what I did to your family. I even stopped the doctors from giving her the special medication, delaying her treatment. I even mistook Susan for the woman from that night and tolerated her agitating your m
