In Nicole's eyes, she was a vixen.Shawn let out a grunt.He deliberately did not close the door tightly, leaving a gap."Mr. Wood..." Seeing him, Winnie immediately turned into a delicate little woman. "You are here, I…I don't know what to do... If I don't take care of her, what do others think of me..."Instead, she assumed the role of stepmother herself."Why is Nicole crying all of a sudden?""I don't know either. After waking up, she has been crying. I tried to calm her, but nothing worked."Outside the door, Gale quietly watched the situation inside through the glass on the door frame.Seeing Nicole's face full of tears, her heart tugged.It was a pity, but she could not go in or do anything and could only watch helplessly here.Her daughter…Nicole was crying so hard.Shawn sat beside the hospital bed with a tissue and gently wiped her tears. "Nicole, tell Daddy why you want to leave the hospital suddenly. The doctor said you would be discharged, but your discharge d

Share a bed with Winnie?Then he absolutely could not do it!Nicole said again, "Daddy, you can't watch over me every night... So, we'd better leave the hospital. I'm really fine. My illness is cured!"After weighing the pros and cons, Shawn thought about it carefully and agreed, "Okay."It was because it was impossible for him to sleep on the same bed as Winnie, not even for acting!Moreover, it was not Nicole who insisted on leaving the hospital. It was Winnie who pretended to be a devil on purpose to scare her!If Shawn did not agree to let Nicole be discharged from the hospital, he was afraid Winnie would do something worse in the future!Nicole was still young, and she could not stand being frightened again and again.Shawn also guessed Winnie's intention.She did not want to stay in the hospital to care for Nicole. It was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and troublesome. She wanted to live in Temperley Hall, and she wanted to live a life as a mistress!How could she be

Winnie smiled the happiest.She could finally leave this ghastly place. She could finally stop serving Nicole every day, pouring water, feeding medicine and telling stories, and pretending to be patient and gentle to coax her…It was okay to pretend for a while, but it was a bit tiring to pretend every day, and Shawn had already fallen to her side, so there was no need for her to make her life hard anymore.From being a street mouse that everyone shouted and beat to having Shawn and Nicole under her control…Excited!What awaited her in the future was a splendid and rich life!"Mommy, you can relax a bit when you get home." While Nicole was happy, she still cared about Winnie's feelings. "Seeing you busy taking care of me every day, I think you are too tired. Thanks for your hard work.""For Nicole, I don't think it's hard work."Nicole grabbed her hand and then Shawn's hand. "Daddy is holding Mommy."Shawn held it tightly without any hesitation.Winnie was elated. Mr. Wood r

She had a good family background, and her fiance Mr. Lefting was obedient and generous to her. He entrusted Natalie with all the family affairs of the Lefting family. Although unmarried, she was already treated like the woman of the house.Therefore, Winnie also wanted to learn from Natalie! Shawn plucked the hair on Nicole's forehead deeply. "There is a housekeeper in Temperley Hall. I don't want you to be too tired."That was well said."It's okay, Mr. Wood. I'm not afraid of being tired. I just want to share the burden with you!" Winnie said hastily.Shawn hesitated for a few seconds and then said lightly, "If you have anything to do, you can tell the housekeeper to do it. Of course, you can also call the shots."Hearing the word 'call the shots', Winnie knew she had got her wish.From now on, she had the final say on all matters, big and small, in Temperley Hall!Shawn walked out with Nicole in his arms. "It seems that Nicole still likes Mommy more in her heart, and much m

Four years ago, so much suffering and torture was brought to her by Shawn, yet she still thought of Shawn.He was Shawn, who made Sea City frightened!At this moment, Nicole's crisp childish voice sounded, "Wait a minute!"Shawn's footsteps stopped immediately."What's wrong?" Winnie asked in confusion, "Nicole, what are you doing?"Shawn also frowned slightly."Daddy, let me down first." Nicole kicked her calf against him."Okay."As soon as her feet landed, Nicole turned around and walked back.No one knew what she was going to do.Winnie wanted to pull Nicole back but was stopped by Shawn. "Let her go."Nicole seemed to have a firm and clear goal without any hesitation in her steps.At the corner, Gale was standing against the wall, his heart pounding.Nicole's footsteps were getting closer and closer to her...Could it be… Nicole found her?Did she want to come to see her?What would she do? Call her a bad woman, a vixen?Does she want to go? Hide?When Gale hesit

"Yes, but I haven't seen you appearing with my father these days. Auntie, the person my father loves is my mother. You have no chance. Don't destroy my family, okay?"Gale opened her mouth slightly, not knowing how to answer.Unexpectedly, one day, others accused her of pestering Shawn.This person was Nicole.It was obviously Shawn who kept pestering her!Seeing that she was silent, Nicole continued speaking, with clear logic and true feelings."Auntie, my father, and my mother are married, so they can't like other people anymore. They will live together for the rest of their lives. You should find an unmarried boy and live a good life with him.""I know that this kind of woman who destroys our family and marriage is called a mistress. Mistresses are like mice. Everyone shouts and beats it. Auntie, you definitely don't want to be hated by everyone!""Besides, my parents haven't seen each other for four years. They have gone through a lot together and finally reunited. I don't

The world of children is so pure and innocent.What you promised must be done, and no cheating was allowed.Gale watched Nicole run back to Shawn, and after saying something, Shawn glanced at her.Then, they left without looking back.Only Winnie glanced at her lightly before leaving.Those eyes were full of disdain and pride.Gale had to tell herself over and over again what Nicole hated was not her.Nicole still loved Mommy.Nicole was now in good health.All of this was because Nicole was controlled by Winnie.There was nothing wrong with Nicole.She was not wrong either.It was Winnie who was wrong!After thinking about this over and over again, Gale finally suppressed the menacing sadness in her heart.She left the hospital silently.Wanting to see Nicole in the future...would be difficult.In the hospital, Gale could quietly hide at the door and take a look so that she could feel at ease.Now, Nicole followed Shawn and Winnie back to Temperley Hall. How would she

"Can't you understand?"After all, the housekeeper had been with Shawn for many years, he quickly hid his shock and nodded. "Yes, I understand, Mr. Wood."With Shawn's personal approval, Winnie became even more arrogant and complacent!When passing by the housekeeper, she straightened her back on purpose.The housekeeper lowered his head even more.Although he did not know why Mr. Wood treated Winnie so preferentially… he had to comply.After all, he was just a subordinate and must obey all orders from Mr. Wood!"In the future, whatever I ask you to do, you will do." Winnie crossed her arms and said, "You can't contradict me. Otherwise... I can replace you at any time, understand?"The housekeeper stretched out his hand to lead the way. "Ms. Nightingale, this way, please."Winnie snorted and walked toward the villa with her head held high.Nicole suddenly said, "Mommy, your appearance just now...was so strange."Shawn also glanced sideways at Winnie.Of course, it was stran

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
