Chapter 858

Author: Wen Tang Tang
"Nicole said, "Mum, am I very brave?"

"Yes, Nicole is the bravest."

Shawn looked at this scene indifferently.

Winnie treated Nicole well, but it was all staged, because she could get everything she wanted by controlling Nicole.

He wanted to see how long Winnie could act!

Nicole just spotted him and said, "Huh, Dad? Why are you here? Are you... alone?"

Nicole looked around curiously.

She was looking for that aunt who looked like Mommy.

After confirming that Shawn was the only one, Nicole said, "Daddy, you won't see that vixen again, will you?"

"Nicole, pay attention to your language."

"She's a vixen! If you're with her again, I really won't talk to you anymore."

Shawn's eyes darkened.

Winnie tried to smooth things over. "Nicole is a child who doesn't know what she is saying. Mr. Wood, don't take it too seriously."

"Didn't you teach her to say that?"

Otherwise, Nicole has always been well-behaved and measured when speaking. It was impossible for Gale to teach her such words

    Nicole immediately turned to look at Winnie. "Mommy, did you hear that!"She hooked her arms around Shawn's neck happily again. "Daddy, you must do what you say! Promise me!""Okay."Nicole said, "That woman is bad. Daddy, don't be fascinated by her, let alone listen to her provocation. Mommy is the one who loves you the most, and me!"Shawn did not answer.He was just wondering if Galey heard this...How much it would break her heart.Winnie observed Shawn's expression and asked tentatively, "Gale… She hasn't appeared much these two days.""Isn't it thanks to you?""Me?"Shawn said lightly, "Didn't you keep saying that I confused Nicole for you? She believed it. Winnie, your goal has been achieved, and she hates me very much now."Winnie was overjoyed.She succeeded by just saying a few words!If she knew it was so simple, she would have said those words a long time ago!"Mr. Wood, this shows how much she doesn't trust you." Winnie covered her mouth and smiled. "Anyone

    She felt crazy jealousy to the extreme!Although Nicole called her mother, and even though Nicole was worried that she would be tired and painful after giving birth, in essence, everything she enjoyed now belonged to Gale!Why could Gale have such a cute and obedient daughter!?Winnie opened her mouth, unable to answer for a long time.Shawn asked in a low voice, "Does Nicole want younger siblings?"She nodded.Shawn asked again, "You want to, but you're afraid that Mommy will have a hard time giving birth, right?"She continued to nod.Shawn deeply hooked the corners of his lips. Gale's love for Nicole was unreserved.Nicole's love for Gale had always been there.It was just that she was confused, and she had transferred all her love to Winnie."Daddy won't have any more children. It's enough to have you," Shawn said.Nicole blinked and looked at Winnie. "But, just now, Mommy said that she still wants to have a baby...""Yes, yes, I want to have a baby. Nicole, Mommy is n

    Nicole tilted her head playfully and smiled. "Hmm… Daddy, I think Mommy has indulged me more than before. She will let me eat ice cream and all kinds of candies. Whatever I ask for, she satisfies me."As she said that, she leaned closer to Shawn's ear. "Maybe Mommy thinks I had the surgery and loves me so much, that's why she allows me to eat snacks and play games."Shawn's eyes turned cold.Winnie obviously only cared about pleasing Nicole and wooing her, without any real care and love at all!What to do if she had tooth decay?What should she do if she gets an upset stomach after eating snacks?What to do if she plays games every day and hurts her eyes?However, Shawn quickly returned to his normal appearance, and he did not want Nicole to see the stern look in his eyes.He rang the bell to call the doctor. "How is Nicole recovering? When can she be discharged from the hospital?""Normally speaking, it will take about half a month to recuperate. After that, she would need to

    "Mr. Wood, I am someone who is more considerate. You will gradually see how good I am."Shawn did not answer, but he finished the whole bowl of soup.Winnie was so excited that she did not eat much of her meal. She could not finish it at all.She got what she wanted by controlling Nicole. If she controlled Shawn, she could have the wind and the rain!In the end, when Shawn left, Winnie still reluctantly said, "Mr. Wood, come back at night. Nicole and I miss you very much.""Yes, Daddy, why don't you sleep with Mommy?""I am busy with work." Shawn hugged Nicole, pinching her cheek. "But the work will be over soon, and by then, you should be discharged from the hospital.""Well! Daddy, come and see me more, and stay with Mommy.""Okay."Nicole kissed him on the cheek.After walking out of the ward, Shawn's expression suddenly turned cold.He quickly quickened his pace and entered the bathroom.Then, he turned on the faucet and picked at his throat to induce vomiting.He vomi

    Natalie thought for a while before answering, "You want to control Shawn?"Winnie became more and more excited as she spoke, "Yes, there is no need to control him for too long. I just need to get pregnant with Mr. Wood's child is enough! By then, Mr. Wood will not kill my child himself! The old man will not allow him to do this!"Having an heir was the insurance for her life! Natalie was silent and did not answer.Winnie continued, "I thought about seducing him actively, but… You know Mr. Wood's temperament. I can only think of another way. Natalie, if I am pregnant with Mr. Wood's child and Mr. Wood is obsessed with me, it will be so painful for Gale to lose both her daughter and her husband!""Controlling Shawn and controlling Nicole are completely different things. Children are easier, but Shawn... is difficult.""I know you can do it!""Let me think about it and wait for my news."Winnie responded, "Okay, Natalie, if you need me to do something, just tell me!"Natalie sai

    "Aunt Natalie, what's wrong with Uncle Shawn?"Natalie panicked.After thinking about it, she suddenly smiled and squatted in front of Joshua. "Uncle Shawn is so famous. How do you know him?""I forgot."Natalie's mouth twitched. "Forgot?"Joshua said, "That's right. Anyway, I know Uncle Shawn, and Uncle Shawn knows me too. Aunt Natalie, who were you calling just now?""Oh... a friend."Joshua tilted his head and looked at her slyly.Natalie panicked even more. She never expected that there would be anyone outside, so she did not have too many scruples when speaking.How much did this little brat hear?Natalie was about to speak when Joshua shouted, "Uncle Aurum!"He ran over immediately.Natalie put away her panicked look. "Aurum, you're back.""Well, I just got home." Aurum caught Joshua and hugged him. "What are you two talking about?"Natalie replied, "Nothing...""I'm talking about Uncle Shawn! Uncle Aurum, Aunt Natalie is on the phone with Uncle Shawn!" Joshua said

    Moreover, it would make Natalie raise his guard against him, and he would be restricted in everything he can do in the future.Joshua decided to wait and see what happened and look for evidence!"You deal with her first. Don't be stressed over it," Aurum said."Okay, Aurum, let's go to eat. I asked the cook to make your favorite mushrooms."Natalie raised a gentle and decent smile again, took Aurum's hand, and smiled extra sweetly at Joshua.Joshua ignored her, struggled twice to get down from Aurum's arms, and ran downstairs first."Kids are full of energy. Aurum, do you like boys or girls?"Facing this question, Aurum remained silent.It was because the real daughter of the Yarn family appeared.He would never marry Natalie.However, he still did not know how to ask Natalie… to dissolve the engagement."Aurum? Aurum?" Natalie shook his hand. "Does it take so long to think about this question? Do you want both boys and girls?""Yes... everything is fine."Natalie said, "I

    However, after Shawn said that, Gale did not expose him.She raised her eyebrows lightly. "Oh, I thought you came to find me."Shawn pursed his lips deeply. "I did not.""I'm back to working at Lovito, thank you." "You're welcome. That's where you shine," Shawn replied.Gale felt that the relationship between the two of them… was weird.However, she was not used to being too intimate.As if that incident of them kissing in the office did not exist at all.He did not mention it, and she pretended it never happened.Gale thought about what kind of relationship she had with Shawn.The only connection involved was their daughter."Did you go to the hospital? Is she okay?" Gale asked."Except that she still recognizes Winnie as her mother, everything is normal. Moreover, she will be discharged from the hospital soon.""Discharged? Is she recovering so well?""Yes, the doctor said it himself."Gale was startled. "After leaving the hospital, she..."She thought that after her

    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
