Nicole smiled. "I don't want the stars in the sky. I want my father's kiss. I want my father to love my mother, and I want our family to live together forever and ever!"Seeing her sweet smile, Shawn unconsciously raised the corners of his lips.He placed a kiss on Nicole's forehead. "We will have whatever we want.""Okay!"Winnie came over and asked with concern, "Shawny, do you still have to go to the company? You have spent the whole morning here, and your work has piled up. Go ahead, I will stay home."Shawn got up and nodded. "Thank you for your hard work.""It's not hard. As long as I can be by your side, I'm willing to do anything."As she said that, Winnie stood on tiptoe and moved over proactively.She also wanted Mr. Wood's kiss!Seeing this, Nicole immediately covered his eyes and said loudly, "Ah, Daddy and Mommy are going to kiss! I can't watch! I have already closed my eyes!"That was what she said, but in fact, Nicole left gaps in her fingers so she could look

'Could it be because Ms. Nicole only recognized Winnie as her mother, so Winnie must be by her side?'The housekeeper finally understood.He immediately went to find a reliable servant, and he must let Ms. Nicole live happily in Temperley Hall!On the second floor, as soon as Shawn left, Winnie did not bother to pretend.She casually sat on the sofa, folded her arms, watched Nicole run around the room, and smiled mockingly. "This kid hasn't seen the good things in life."At any rate, she used to be a top-notch female star, and she lived at high-end five-star hotels, and her food and clothes were all the best, but she was banned later.So seeing Nicole like this, she just felt contemptuous."It's thanks to Gale for treating you... That's right, with her little ability, she's useless without Shawn. It's not bad to be able to support herself and eat enough."Speaking of this, Winnie suddenly remembered something."Nicole." She suddenly smiled and waved. "Come here."Nicole walke

Nicole thought about it for a long time but could not figure it out.She did not want Mommy to be angry, and she did not want to make Mommy unhappy, but she really did not know what was wrong with her.The housekeeper saw Nicole's dejected look.The housekeeper asked with great concern, "Ms. Nicole, what's wrong? You can tell me anything. Mr. Wood told me to take good care of you."Nicole shook her head.She would not speak ill of Mummy.Mommy was always her favorite woman.It may be that Mommy was too tired to take care of her in the hospital these days, so she did not control her emotions well.Nicole said, "Uncle Housekeeper, can you lend me your phone?""Of course, Ms. Nicole. Do you want to call Mr. Wood?""No. You give it to me first."As soon as the housekeeper handed over the phone, Nicole took it, turned around, and ran back to her room, locking the door.She wanted to call her brother!She missed her brother so much! She wanted to listen to her brother's voice!

That was frightening. Gale and Joshua were worried."What's wrong, Nicole?""No, Joshua, I think...I think Mommy has changed so much that I don't even know her anymore," Nicole said in a low voice.Gale's heart suddenly tugged.It must be that Winnie had started to reveal her true nature, she was no longer as considerate of Nicole as she was before, and she was starting to get impatient.Now in Nicole's eyes, Winnie was the world's favorite and the best mommy to her, but mommy was not as good as before. How sad Nicole must be.Joshua comforted her, "No, it's your illusion. Mommy is always the best mommy, don't think too much about it.""Joshua, did I cause trouble for Mommy, so...""No, no, you are so cute, sweet, beautiful, and smart. How could anyone think you are troublesome." Joshua rolled his eyes. "Well, Nicole, I will come to Temperley Hall to play with you tomorrow!"Nicole suddenly became excited. "Really?!""It's more real than pearls. When did I ever lie to you?"

Makes sense!It was a good idea!Gale's eyes lit up."Yeah...why didn't I think of that?" She said, "Nicole and Mrs. Zoe have always had a very good relationship. I said I am a relative of Mrs. Zoe so that Nicole will accept me!"Joshua folded his arms. "So, what's the big deal, my ears were almost pulled off by you."Gale smiled and leaned over. "I'm sorry, Joshua. Does it hurt? Come on. I'll rub it for you, give you a kiss. I'm sorry, it's my fault...""Well, for the sake of your attitude of admitting your mistakes, master will forgive you.""What do you call yourself? Master?""Hee hee hee, don't care about these details." Joshua looked at her. "Mommy, you can discuss many things with me, and we will find a way to face them together. You don't bear the burden silently alone. That's too much. If you are tired, I will feel bad."He spoke very sincerely, and his eyes were sparkly and clear.Gale reached out and touched his head. "Joshua, you are still young, I just want you t

"Joshua? Joshua?"In his drowsy state, he heard mommy calling him.Joshua sat up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the person in front of him.There were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, the forehead, and the corners of her mouth were slightly drooping. Her skin was rough and dark yellow, old and haggard.He was stunned, staring at it without blinking. "Are you Mommy?"Gale nodded, "Of course it's me.""Yeah, the voice hasn't changed...""You reminded me. My voice is still the same, and Nicole will recognize it," Gale replied.She looked into the mirror and sighed.How to change her voice?Just when Gale was worrying, Joshua suddenly rushed over and buried his head in her arms. "Mommy, you're so ugly, quickly take off your makeup. I don't want to see you like this.""Ah? What's the matter? Don't you even recognize me?""Yes, with this appearance, how can it be my young and beautiful Mommy? So ugly, so ugly!"Gale smiled. "It means that I have successfully transformed. By

"It was time to eat. I made Joshua's favorite dish," Peter said.Joshua scrambled to his feet. "Here we come! We're done! We're done!"It seemed that the person who secretly wiped his tears just now was not him at all!Gale smiled and shook her head. "Slow down, no one will grab your food."Joshua had already disappeared.…That night in Temperley Hall, it was already ten o'clock in the evening when Shawn came back.He had meetings, meeting clients, signing documents... so busy running around without rest.He was concerned about Nicole and wanted to come back before she went to bed.Shawn deeply enjoyed this feeling.In the past, he was alone, and it did not matter what time he returned home, even if he did not return.However, it was different now.His little princess was waiting for him at home.Shawn pushed open the bedroom door. "Nicole, are you asleep?"Nicole quickly got up from the bed, with her long hair hanging behind her back, and happily replied, "I haven't sle

Why was it all about Joshua?Could not get around this little devil?Nicole asked again, "Daddy, can you arrange for Joshua to go to the same school as me?"Nicole looked at him expectantly."His family will help him arrange it. Transferring is very troublesome," Shawn said.He thought that by saying that, Nicole would give up the idea of going to the same school as Joshua.As a result…"I'll ask him tomorrow!"Shawn sighed deeply.His daughter was still so young, yet her mind was full of other men.At Nicole's age, the man she loved the most should be her father?Shawn's jealousy... was about to burst out.Nicole was very happy to see her brother tomorrow, and maybe she could go to a kindergarten.She hugged the doll happily and lay down. "Good night, Daddy.""Good night, Nicole."He got up to leave, but Nicole grabbed his hand. "Wait a minute.""What's wrong?""I'm a little scared to sleep alone. This is the first time sleeping in such a big room. Daddy, can you tu

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
