"No, go and wait outside. Dinner will be served soon!"Shawn nodded deeply and walked outside.Winnie opened the crock pot and stirred carefully, with a satisfied and snarky smile on her face.What she did not know was….Shawn turned his head and saw it all.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.As far as Winnie's IQ was concerned… It was so easy for him to deal with her.The reason why Winnie was able to harm Nicole was mainly because of the person helping her with some shameful methods!No one knocked on the door just now. It was just for him to distract Winnie so that he could replace the herbs she had dumped into the soup!Shawn took out new herbs and replaced the one she took out within the minute she was away.The herbs looked similar in appearance, and it was impossible for Winnie to differentiate them.This was the beginning of a good show."It's time to eat, Mr. Wood. Nicole, go and wash your hands. Eat while it's hot." Winnie prepared four dishes and one

"Mr. Wood, you should also take a lunch break. I see that you are coughing a bit, and you look haggard and tired." Winnie put her hand on his shoulder lightly. "Go and rest. Nicole and I are here, and you can sleep peacefully..."Her voice was very soft.Shawn pressed his brows deeply. "I'm really a little sleepy.""You rest for half an hour... No matter how busy you are at work, don't overwork yourself."Winnie rubbed his shoulders to relax his nerves.She also specially sprayed on perfume to put Shawn in a comfortable environment.A few minutes later, Shawn slowly closed his eyes.However, Winnie did not relax at all. She was still massaging him attentively until Shawn's deep breathing became extremely steady."Mr. Wood, Mr. Wood?" Winnie lowered her head and shouted in his ear, "Can you hear me?"No response."Mr. Wood, Gale was angry when she saw us being so close."No matter what Winnie said, Shawn remained motionless.Winnie felt relieved.He was completely asleep...

Nicole thought her father looked very handsome. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen!"Did he sleep for too long? Mommy, Daddy is very busy, and his time is precious," Nicole asked."Then you try to wake him up?"Winnie also wanted to see the effect of hypnosis.Would Shawn be obsessed with her?Nicole reached out and poked Shawn's arm. "Daddy, wake up. You can't take a nap for too long. The more you sleep, the sleepier you will be."She climbed onto Shawn again and patted his face.Only she dared to do it.When Shawn woke up, he had bloodshot eyes."Daddy, you've worked so hard. Can you take a day off?" Nicole said distressedly.Shawn replied, "Yes, I will go to the playground with Nicole on vacation, okay?"Nicole shook her head. "No, take a good rest for a day, sleep at home, and don't go anywhere."Feeling her distress, Shawn felt a tinge of warmth in his heart.How could he let Nicole be taken by Winnie?Soon, he said silently in his heart, Nicole, you will

"Very well."Winnie hugged him, reluctant to let go.This was beyond her imagination!He had such a caring and tender side, which he only showed to her! It was something no one else could see and enjoy!Winnie was already floating, and she did not notice something was wrong at all.She only thought that it went so smoothly because God was helping her, and it was her luck!As Shawn walked out of the ward, the smile on the corner of his mouth became colder and colder until it disappeared completely.The indifference, cruelty, and bloodthirstiness in his eyes... were completely different from just now.Hypnotism?Exactly as he thought, Winnie really used a crooked way!However, Shawn could tell that Winnie's technique on Nicole was different from that used on him!Because before Nicole's operation, he and Gale guarded her day and night, Winnie never had a chance to get close!Not to mention that Winnie only had the opportunity to hypnotize him today!The car was waiting at th

Gale raised her eyes and looked over.She and Shawn's eyes met.However… he looked away first and walked toward his elevator as if nothing had happened."Mr. Wood has been looking at you just now. Why did he look away when you looked at him? Could it be that Mr. Wood felt embarrassed when he was found peeking at you?"Summer said sharply, "His face is thicker than the city wall…"Gale replied, "Does he have a face?"Peach and Summer gave her approving looks in unison.Gale also ignored him directly.Anyway, Shawn was just like the sky in June, changing moods constantly, and being so unpredictable. He hugged and kissed her for a while, and then pretended they were strangers. However, he asked her to trust him more than once.How baffling!"Madam, Director Summer." Fiona suddenly trotted over, her expression a bit indescribable. "You...where are you going?"Gale replied, "I ordered all the colleagues in the jewelry department coffee. However, there were too many cups, so a

That was the Mr. Wood that Fiona knew!However, Mr. Wood not only did not make a generous move but even criticized his wife for their working hours and idleness...Strange, really strange!Gale picked up her phone and started ordering."It's just your good temper." Summer folded her arms. "If it were me, I would leave the company in front of Fiona and see what Shawn can do to me!""Forget it. I don't want to embarrass Fiona."Summer asked, "Is there something wrong with Shawn? He actually bothered to chide you."She could not figure it out.Peach could not either.However, she did not dare to say that about Mr. Wood, so she could only complain silently in her heart.Gale concentrated on placing the order. "What do you want to drink? Do you want to add sugar and milk?""Whatever! I'm not in the mood to drink!" Summer waved her hand and left.Peach pouted. "Gale...""What's wrong?""Are you okay?"Gale blinked. "What can I do?""Mr. Wood..."Gale said, "Men are so unreas

Gale did not take it to heart and went about the job at hand.Until she got off work.She was too focused on the sketches, so she did not pay attention to the time and only turned off the computer when it was almost six o'clock.Gale stretched, picked up his bag, and walked out of the company.At this point, there was no one in the company. Most of them have gone home or out for dinner.Just as Gale stepped down the steps, she suddenly heard a strange voice. "Yo, I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to be doing well, not as pathetic as I imagined."This voice…Winnie!Gale raised her head and stared at her sharply. "It's you?""Yeah, why? Don't you know me?" Winnie walked up to her arrogantly. "You can still go to work with peace of mind after losing your daughter. I really admire you.""Otherwise, do you expect me not to be able to eat or sleep well?""Aren't you like this when Nicole just called me Mommy? Now, you just gave up?"Winnie felt at ease physically and m

After hearing what she said, Gale also laughed. "Gossip said you were crazy, but I still don't believe it. I saw it today. You are really crazy, talking nonsense!"What about having a baby? What about getting a divorce?That was simply impossible!She still has some trust in Shawn! As a husband and wife, she still understood him!What's more, he was the one who was unwilling to divorce!Why did Winnie feel so confident that she could let Shawn divorce her!Delusion!Winnie looked at her contemptuously. "If I'm not sure, I wouldn't say these words in front of you!"Winnie came to Wood Group this time because she could not wait to show off to Gale.Nicole called her Mommy. Shawn said she was his favorite...Now she wanted to rub it in her face!For four years, Winnie has been wandering outside, enduring the pain of plastic surgery and at the hands of Natalie. She has been wronged, and now, the day for her fate to reverse has come!It will be today!Winnie not only wanted to

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
