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
Winnie suddenly felt like something was wrong the more she looked at her.Why did something seem off with that old woman?Even though the woman's face was full of wrinkles, her hair was black and glossy, and the skin on her neck seemed very smooth.Her hands were pale and soft as well!It was not the body of an old lady!Winnie stared at her unblinkingly before she finally asked, "Who are you?""That's none of your business!"Winnie walked forward and reached out to claw at Gale's face. "Are you wearing a mask, or is this makeup? I'll pull it off…"Gale avoided Winnie.Shawn and Aurum both stepped forward at the same time when that happened.Aurum pushed Winnie away. "What are you doing?!"Winnie was forced back a few steps from the force of the push.Shawn walked over. He had planned on pulling the two of them apart and stopping Winnie from doing anything in the name of helping Winnie.He could not help Gale too obviously!However, when he saw Aurum pushing her away, he
"Come on, you're so rude for no reason. If you act like this, how many men will actually like you…"Gale answered, "I don't need any men to live a good life!"Winnie said in a pleased manner, "It's a skill to be able to rely on men, right Shawn?"She sounded so intimate with Shawn.Even Gale had never spoken to Shawn like that before.In her memory, the first time she had ever called out to Shawn so intimately was in the back of the car.At the time, he had pushed her against the chair and was doing all sorts of things to her.He had forced her to call out his name.Unable to do anything about it, Gale had called out his name to beg for mercy.At the time, she had called out to him in such an intimate manner because she thought that he would be happy with it and spare her.Yet, he became even more intense!However, he was actually able to act so intimately with another woman.Did it hurt? Was she sad?When it reached a certain limit, she went a bit numb.Gale was alread
That was something she wanted to do for Nicole as Nicole's mother.For the sake of Winnie's own goals, Winnie deliberately scared Nicole.So, Gale would do whatever she could to help Nicole recover!A mother was still a mother! She truly wanted the best for her child!Shawn pursed his lips slightly. "You want to stay here to take care of Nicole?"Gale nodded. "Yes. That's why I look like this right now. She won't recognize me and won't hate me. I assure you, I'll make sure Nicole will be able to rest well. I raised her myself, and I know how to take care of her."Furthermore, Nicole was recovering from a major illness. After coming out of the hospital, the servants would definitely not be as attentive as the nurses at the hospital. They were not as versed in medicine, so Gale was worried.Nicole needed to be taken care of in every way to prevent any future problems.Shawn did not accept or reject it. He looked at Winnie. "What do you think?"He was asking Winnie for her opinio
Gale looked so calm on the surface, but she was definitely sad inside!Gale did not even think about it as she agreed. "Sure."She only had Nicole in mind. She could bear with everything else!Aurum could no longer take it.Why did Gale need to suffer like that?!"Winnie, should Gale be the one who knows her place or you?" Aurum asked, "Shawn and her are a legally wedded couple! What do you have to stand on?!"She was just a woman who made herself look like Gale to stay by Shawn's side.She was a woman who used sinister means to control Nicole, entering Temperley Hall, thanks to that.Did she really think she was anyone notable?Aurum would not stand for anyone who harassed Gale like that in front of him!No one could make her suffer!As long as he was there, he would support Gale!Winnie answered, "Mr. Lefting, Shawn's marriage with her has already been destroyed the moment Gale jumped into the sea to fake her death! Even if she's back right now, they can just go get a div
"Alright, alright, don't let your mood get affected by something like this." Winnie held Shawn's hand before she said, "Mr. Lefting, it's rare for you to be at Temperley Hall. Why don't you stay and eat with us? Since Nicole and Joshua haven't seen each other for a while, they'll probably take some time."How could Aurum be in the mood to eat?He wanted to leave that instant!However, he still needed to bring Joshua back, so he was forced to sit there.Gale would stay in Temperley Hall, and Peter would not be able to take care of Joshua alone, so Joshua would return home with him."I'm busy. I'll come back to get Joshua later," Aurum said.After that, he held Gale's hand and headed out.Gale was a bit hesitant, but Aurum seemed quite decisive, holding her hand and refusing to let go.There was nothing she could do but follow him.No one noticed Shawn narrowing his eyes slightly. His gaze was full of possessiveness as he stared at Aurum's hand, wanting to slice it off!Who gav
Aurum said, "Nicole can't recognize you now. It's only temporary. Winnie could not keep this up forever!"Gale lowered her head. "I used to think so too. But now, Nicole is heavily influenced by Shawn too…"She still remembered Shawn's promise.It seemed to be still echoing in her ears.He said to leave it to him.He said to trust him.Trust him like she trusted Aurum.Gale originally planned to do this, but… Shawn was really not worthy.He would never treat her with care like Aurum did, who always thought of her needs before his!Aurum frowned. "Shawn is really acting abnormal."Gale wanted to tell him that maybe all of this had something to do with Natalie when she saw him deep in thought.However, she could not bring herself to say it.It was better not to let Aurum think wildly without any concrete proof.After all, he and Natalie were destined to be lifelong partners.Gale smiled. "Mr. Lefting, your wedding with Ms. Yarn is coming soon. You are so busy, and you still
From the moment he knew that Gale was the one he was looking for, he had already decided to end it!He would only marry the one he wanted!If he could not get married, he would die alone forever!Never compromise, never make do!Gale blinked, still a little bit unresponsive.No wonder when she mentioned marriage, Aurum's eyes dodged a little. It turned out that he had found someone he really wanted to marry."Does Natalie know about this?" Gale asked, "What are you going to tell her? And the Yarn family… Any parent who has lost their child would want to find their child as soon as possible!""I'm still thinking about how to tell Natalie and the Yarn family this news."Gale thought for a while and said, "Although this matter is a bit cruel to Natalie, she is an adopted daughter and has occupied Ms. Yarn's identity for more than 20 years. She should return her position to the original owner. As for the Yarn family, they definitely hope that their daughter will come back as soon a
