"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
"Eager much?" Shawn asked deeply.Winnie smiled shyly. "Don't tease me...""Don't worry, I will satisfy you tonight." Shawn leaned into her ear.Winnie was ecstatic.Her dream was to become Shawn's woman!Tonight, it will finally come true!She only had the chance to conceive Mr. Wood's child when she slept with him!Once she had a child, even if Nicole woke up, even if Shawn's hypnosis failed, she would have a backup plan!Shawn hugged her waist and walked slowly toward the bed.He pretended to ask casually, "By the way, I've always been curious about one thing.""What is it?""How did you do it? How did you make Nicole mistake you for Mommy?"Winnie's smile froze, and she quickly said coquettishly, "Why are you suddenly asking this question at this time..."Shawn replied flatly, "It's nothing. I'm just curious.""Shawny, Gale is a woman who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong. She doesn't look good to you, and you no longer like her. Now, let me take care of Nicol
He did not know how long it took. The dark sky began to brighten, and it was already midnight when the movement in the master bedroom slowly subsided.At Shawn's feet, there was a pile of cigarette butts.With a soft click, the door of the master bedroom opened, and a strong and burly bodyguard sneaked out from inside, with his upper body naked and his own clothes in his hands."Mr. Wood, I...I have fulfilled your order," the bodyguard said.Shawn stood there casually and asked lightly, "How do you feel?""Uh, it's pretty good. Ms. Nightingale passed out, and she fell asleep quickly, so I slipped out easily."Shawn twitched the corner of his mouth and turned around. "Yes, you performed very well."The bodyguard lowered his head. "Thank you, Mr. Wood, for your compliment.""In the future, there will be many opportunities like this. Enjoy it while it lasts," Shawn said.The bodyguard grinned and scratched his head. "Thank you, Mr. Wood! Thank you, Mr. Wood!"Winnie used to be a
A father's embrace felt so warm. It felt solid and reliable.No demons could ever get close to her!Shawn put her back in bed, pulling the covers back up. "Yes, I'll be with you. You can sleep in peace."Nicole asked with some concern, "Daddy, will you be here all night?""Yes.""Then, what about Mommy? Aren't you going to be with Mommy?""She's already asleep."Nicole still wanted to say something, but Shawn pinched her cheek. "Mommy can sleep alone, don't worry."Nicole finally shut her eyes.It was Shawn's first time sleeping with his daughter.His eyes were open the whole time.Looking at Nicole's little body lying down next to him, he was afraid to move too much. He felt like he would squash her.Shawn thought about how Nicole would have been smaller and more fragile when she was just born. How did Gale raise Nicole up alone?Four years, over a thousand days and nights, Gale had raised Nicole just like that.He had finally been able to experience it.The next morn
Shawn looked at Joshua. Joshua noticed his gaze and looked up to meet it.After that, Joshua made a face."Uncle Shawn, your house is so big! No wonder Nicole invited us over!" he said."That's right. Joshua, you can come here to play every day. You can even stay here!"Shawn narrowed his eyes, focusing on a word. "Us?""Exactly, look!" Joshua pointed at the door.Aurum walked in.There was also a woman beside Aurum.The woman had very rough clothes on. She looked very plain, and her hair was pulled back. Her face was filled with wrinkles, and she looked to be in her forties.She quietly stood beside Aurum, not saying anything.Shawn's eyes were fixed right on her, and his gaze did not move away at all.Very quickly, she looked toward Shawn as well.Shawn's eyes widened. Gale!That was clearly Gale!From afar, he had just thought she looked similar. She had been similar to Gale both in figure and bearing. The moment their gazes met, he was absolutely sure that it was Ga
Winnie nodded, not really in the mood to bother with Nicole.Why was Aurum suddenly at Temperley Hall?Why did she feel like something was off about that old-looking, raspy-voiced woman?Furthermore, who was that boy? She had never seen him before!Yet, everyone else seemed to know the boy.Winnie curiously looked at Joshua, constantly trying to evaluate the boy.Joshua did not pull back at all, meeting her gaze with a straight back.He even greeted her, "Hello."Winnie did not know who that boy was, but she felt like she could not offend the boy since he was a child Aurum brought over.So, she smiled. "Hello, you know Nicole?""Yes, we went to the amusement park before."Nicole looked at the two of them in confusion. "Mommy, this is Joshua. Don't you know him?"Winnie thought that Nicole was starting to suspect her, and Winnie panicked."How could I not know him, hahaha." Winnie forced out a laugh to stifle the matter. "Go ahead and have fun with each other.As she said
