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,

He was the one who loved her the most, and he had never given less than Aurum!Soon, Shawn twitched the corner of his mouth bitterly. "I'm too greedy… How can I be so strict with you."The encounter between him and her started in the name of harm!Gale raised her hand and stroked his face lightly. "Shawn, you and Aurum are always two different people. He is my best friend. And you and I…"Were they lovers?She felt a surge of emotion. She wanted to say that they were destined for each other.Gale did not continue talking.Their lips met.At this moment, the atmosphere was intense, and both of their breathing became short.They obviously love each other deeply from the bottom of their hearts, but there was too much history, and there was no way to truly just be with each other.Shawn would not marry again.Gale… well, she was impossible to remarry.This kiss was delicate and infinitely tender.There was no usurpation, no wild encroachment, only two people who could not expr

Shawn showed a satisfied expression.He picked up the cigarette case and asked softly, "What's the situation with Nicole now?""She is kept under surveillance. Winnie is acting normally, there is no abnormality, she... indeed is doing her best to take care of Ms. Nicole. Basic food, housing, transportation, every detail, there is no sign of abuse," Fiona replied."Assuming she still has some brains."Once Winnie dared to harm her, Shawn would never forgive her!If she dared to touch Nicole, he would cut off one of her fingers in the future!Shawn asked again, "No more? Did you find anything wrong with Winnie?""Mr. Wood... She behaved very normally, changing her medicine, cooking, and reading story books to Ms. Nicole.""Cooking? She cooks for Nicole?""Yes, Mr. Wood."Shawn's eyes narrowed deeply. "What did she cook?"Fiona said, "They're all home-cooked dishes… Oh yes, Winnie made soup for Ms. Nicole every day, and made Ms. Nicole drinks a small bowl every morning, noon, a

"Galey, don't misunderstand me, don't hate me. Please be sure to trust me from the beginning to the end," Shawn said to himself.In the jewelry department.Looking at the signboard at the door, Gale felt a long-lost intimacy.This was the career she had worked hard for and struggled for. Now, Lovito had become a proper brand, and it had become jewelry that many female consumers wanted to have most!Every time Lovito had a new launch, it would break the consumption record!Peach ran over happily. "Gale! Welcome back!"She hugged Gale."I miss you so much. Gale, you are here!"Facing Peach's enthusiasm, Gale did not know how to respond. "I...""Needless to say, we understand, we all understand!"Immediately afterward, there was a bang, and countless shiny ribbons flew in the air, landing on Gale's hair and shoulders.Peach immediately jumped up, waving his hands. "Today is a good day!"All the colleagues in the jewelry department stood up from their workstations and applauded

"Let's stop being vague. I won't talk about Nicole's situation now, but what about Joshua?" Joe was straightforward."He's here."Joe was very surprised. "What? He... you, you brought him?""It's a long story. He lives in Aurum's house now, and no one knows that he is my son," Gale replied."What?"Gale was speechless.Joe coughed. "You have to think about it for me. Shawn and I have been brothers for so many years. We have been through life and death. I face him every day, but I keep lying to him. I feel uncomfortable."He had helped Gale a lot.As a result, every time he saw Shawn, he felt very guilty.He did not dare to complain as much as before."Let's not talk about Joshua first. I still feel guilty toward Shawn about you jumping into the sea and feigning death. I could have told him in advance, but I concealed it, which caused you to be apart from him for four years."As he said that, Joe made a gesture of wiping his neck. "That man, Shawn, is a smart one who hates tr

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
