Aurum was glad that he felt that strange sense of familiarity the first day he met Gale. He had started to help her unconditionally.He was even more glad about the fact that he did not stand back and watch as Gale struggled against Shawn!He had helped her go through so much. He had helped her get past so many of her difficulties in life.Otherwise, he would have blamed and hated himself!Aurum had always been wondering what kind of life that girl had been living.He wondered if she was tortured, if she met anyone bad, or if she was going through any pain. He wondered how she would get through her life without him by her side.Aurum thought about it and felt like the girl had been lucky and unlucky as well.She was lucky to have been adopted by the Warm family.She was unlucky to have met Shawn…"Look!" Joshua suddenly pointed over. "Isn't that baby's car?!"Aurum's thoughts were interrupted as he looked over.A normal white sedan was next to the road. Joshua had already le
"I regret it, but don't at the same time. There's no reason to dwell on it at this point. I already have two children with him," Gale answered.Aurum's expression dimmed.That was true. They already had two children.If only he had just met her a bit earlier.If only he had met her before Shawn.She could have avoided her nightmare after she got married. He could have protected her with all he had!She was his childhood sweetheart. She was right in front of him, but she was someone else's wife, the mother of someone else's children.Aurum wondered if it was even possible for them to return to the way things should be.Could they even carry out that engagement?Gale had suffered so much in life. He wanted to give her a beautiful life after this with his own two hands.He wanted to make sure she tasted nothing but sweetness.She was worth it. A perfect life was what she should have had from the start!Gale looked at him. "Mr. Lefting, why are you suddenly asking that?""It's
What was Aurum hiding from her? Why did he always refuse to tell her anything about Gale?No, she could not allow this to go on. Natalie needed to find out what Aurum and Gale were doing!Looking at Aurum leave, Natalie made sure she was properly hidden. She went back to the house through the alleys, acting as if nothing had happened.The white sedan drove on the streets, finally stopping at the Warm household's garden.The sound of a child filled the yard."I have a beautiful dream. I dream of sowing the sun when I grow up. Just one…" Joshua sang happily.With his mother and grandfather by his side, he was the happiest little boy!Joshua looked at Gale and asked, "Baby, why do they only want to plant the sun and not the moon? There's only one moon in the sky. It's probably very lonely."A child's thoughts were always that naive.Gale laughed. "Then, you can plant a sun and a moon!""Alright! If I do, I'll give them to you! That way, it doesn't matter if it's night or day. Yo
Gale was a bit surprised.Her impression of Aurum was that Aurum was quite busy when it came to work, and Aurum was rarely at home.It was because he was so busy that Natalie and his marriage kept on being delayed, only getting confirmed this year.Aurum should have been spending more time with Natalie when he was at home…Why was Aurum with Joshua?"Joshua, didn't Uncle Lefting keep Aunt Natalie company when he was free?"Even though Gale was not that friendly with Natalie, not even liking each other that much, they'd always maintained a calm and distant relationship. They never talked much to each other and would only nod to each other when they met.Gale still wished Aurum and Natalie a happy life with each other.Aurum was a good man. Natalie could fill up his heart and help him manage the household.She did quite well on that front."She was very busy too. Mrs. Zoe said that she's been working on her marriage with Uncle Lefting," Joshua answered."Oh."Joshua sighed. "
Joshua said confidently, "I'm absolutely sure! I thought she was talking to Uncle Shawn since she kept mentioning the name. She noticed me at the door and even scolded me.""Thankfully, Uncle Lefting came, so she didn't do anything to me. I told Uncle Lefting, and she explained that she was talking to Winnie!""See, bad women are always with other bad women! They're friends. There's no way she's much better than Winnie!"Four years ago, before Shawn completely killed off Winnie's career, Winnie and Natalie had been best friends when Winnie was still a top actress. That was something everyone knew.Yet, four years later, Winnie and Natalie were still communicating!After composing herself, Gale asked, "Joshua, what else do you know? Tell me."Joshua did not hold anything back from her. "I think that Aunt Natalie definitely has something going on with that woman who's controlling Nicole at the hospital. It's not just that phone call; I suspect that she was the one who hid Winnie be
Gale felt like what she said sounded quite familiar.Thinking about it, she suddenly smiled.What she said to Joshua earlier was very much like what Shawn had said to her.Shawn always told her to leave everything to him, that she did not need to do anything. She just needed to focus on living a carefree life.Yet, Gale always asked him what she could help with and what she could do.Shawn wanted her to live without worry.She wanted to do whatever she could.Suddenly, Gale felt the love in Shawn's statements.He loved her.It was like how she loved Joshua. He was her son, and she showed her love by wanting Joshua to live a peaceful and happy life. All the darkness and all the filth needed to stay as far away from him as possible.So, Shawn had always been loving her as well.Loving someone meant wanting to protect them.In the same vein, loving someone also meant wanting to share the burdens of the other party.Love was mutual.It was not one-sided.She shook the jar in
Shawn raised an eyebrow. "With her abilities? She's not capable of fooling me.""Mr. Wood, where did these herbs come from? Did she buy them?""Aurum gave them."Fiona was stunned. "Mr. Lefting?"That was what Shawn had been confused about as well.Aurum had helped Gale wholeheartedly. Aurum had even dared to help Gale fake her death. Gale trusted Aurum quite a lot as well. He had no reason to harm Nicole.If Aurum really wanted to harm Nicole, he would not use the Lefting family name to send the herbs over!It was just too stupid!Yet, who would it be if it was not Aurum?Who switched out Aurum's gift?Fiona thought about it. "Based on what I know, Mr. Lefting is usually quite busy with work. Ms. Yarn is usually the one who deals with all the household affairs."Shawn bit out every word. "Natalie Yarn?"The name triggered some of his memories.Before Gale jumped into the sea, she had been meeting Aurum very frequently. The two of them constantly discussed things, and Nata
So, Shawn was just putting on an act!Winnie thought that she had poisoned and controlled Shawn.In truth, Shawn was very aware. He was slowly trying to turn the tables! He was trying to save Nicole!At that moment, it seemed to be the only plan that could work.It was just that it hurt Gale.Fiona slowly shut the door to the study.Fiona hoped that Shawn and Gale would be able to get past this and properly live together!Shawn shut his eyes as he leaned back.He forgot about Natalie.Thinking about it at that moment, Natalie was just too suspicious!Winnie had disappeared near Aurum's home. Natalie probably hid Winnie!The poison should be from Natlaie as well!Why was she helping Winnie like that?Shawn rubbed his temples. Things were developing too far out of his expectations!However, he needed to cure the poison in Nicole's body no matter what. He needed to protect Gale as well.Those two were his whole world. No harm could come to them!…The next day, Shawn wa
