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
"No matter how cruel the truth is, I want you to tell me. I don't want to find out from someone else."Gale shut her eyes.Slowly, she started to relax into his embrace.Gale asked, "Are you sure you want to listen? You won't pursue it, and you won't get angry?""Yes."Gale was a bit hesitant.If it were just herself, then she would have already said it. There was nothing much to hide.Since she did it, she would admit to it.However, this involved Aurum.The thought had just flashed in Gale's mind when Shawn said, "Did Aurum help you?"Why did this man seem like he could read minds?Gale did not say anything.Shawn continued, "I won't touch him, and I won't get angry at him. Galey, I just want to know what happened.""Why do you want to know this so suddenly?"Shawn's lips were against her skin. "I told you, I want us to treat each other honestly. I want to get over any lingering issues. Galey, this is the only thing I haven't been able to get over when it comes to you.
Shawn asked, "You are so high up. The sea is so deep, and the sky is so dark... Galey, aren't you afraid?""Didn't you have the slightest fear?""Didn't you flinch a little?"Gale replied, "I was afraid. But compared to this little physical fear, what I'm more afraid of is that I will be trapped by your side and lose my freedom forever. I will become a canary that lives in your cage.""It's because you didn't let go in time that I let you bear such fear...""As soon as you close your eyes, it's just like that. It only takes a few seconds."Shawn's voice trembled a little. "What about the child? Galey, you're still pregnant with the child..."Did she ever think that maybe this jump would lead to the loss of the child?Fortunately, the mother and daughter are safe; they were lucky...Gale replied, "I took a gamble. If I succeed, I will be permanently free. If I lose, the worst is that I will maintain my original life and stay by your side."Took a gamble, and there was still ho
Once he found out that Aurum was manipulating behind the scenes, he definitely wanted to make the entire Lefting family pay the price!Aurum was betting the entire Lefting family!However, how long have Gale and Aurum known each other? How long have they met?"He..." Gale raised his head and looked into Shawn's eyes. "If I told you, I don't know, would you believe me?""No.""Aurum mentioned a reason. He said that the first time he saw me, he thought I felt very familiar, like an old friend of his. But he can't see that friend anymore, so he owed that person, and wanted to make it up to me."Gale was telling the truth, but she did not tell Shawn that this friend was the missing real daughter of the Yarn family.Shawn narrowed his eyes slightly.Old friend?This reason... sounded too absurd."Aurum really said that." Gale added hastily, "I am also very puzzled, because I have a feeling that he is willing to help me like this... I also owe him a lot.""In the past four years,
