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

"I…"Winnie could not explain why she suddenly tripped either.She felt like she stepped on something, but it felt like her legs gave way as well.She was just about to answer when she looked at Aurum and that woman. Then, she suddenly had an embarrassed look on her face. "Come on, Shawn. Shouldn't you know why I tripped? How could you ask me now?"Shawn raised an eyebrow. "You're blaming me?"She hit Shawn on the chest. "Yes, it's all your fault. You were just too fierce last night. You never stopped. My waist feels like it's about to break. That's why I was struggling to walk today…"Winnie was not that loud, but it was enough for everyone there to hear her.She was saying that on purpose.She wanted as many people to know as possible that she had successfully slept with Shawn!Aurum glanced at Gale.Gale looked down, and her hair obscured her face. No one could see her expression.Gale was probably feeling very sad at that moment.Otherwise, there was no way Gale would h

Winnie was quite polite and respectful to Aurum because of Natalie, worried she would offend him."The son of a friend," Aurum answered.Winnie nodded. "Since they seem to have so much fun together, you can bring him over more often. Nicole's quite bored alone."Aurum was surprised that she said that.It seemed like Winnie did not know Joshua had tripped her just now at all.That was good. Joshua was a troublemaker. Joshua would be able to teach Winnie a few lessons!He was a kid in the end. Even if Winnie noticed it, there was nothing Winnie would be able to do.After all, there was no reason to be petty with a child!"Sure, I would love for Joshua and Nicole to see each other more often too. They can build a good relationship," Aurum answered.Shawn frowned unhappily. "What kind of relationship?"Aurum thought about it and answered, "A sibling relationship."Gale started to get anxious by the side.Was that not too obvious?!Thankfully, she was the only one who thought t

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
