Gale stood next to the main seat, introducing her latest design works fluently and confidently."This series is based on peony flowers. It is graceful and luxurious, but it is still fashionable. It escapes the vulgar feeling and is more youthful. I put the petals of peony flowers inside to make it look more delicate. Nice to look at..."People always shine in the field they are good at.Everyone listened to Gale's introduction quietly as she devoted herself to her work.When Shawn pushed the door and walked in, she did not even notice.The employee next to him was startled, and quickly stood up. "Sir...""Stop."He raised his index finger, pulled out the chair and sat down at the end of the conference table, propped his chin, and watched her every move with a smile in his eyes.Gale…Only at this time could he appreciate her calm side.Otherwise, she would always have thorns all over her body.Although Gale looked very old now, in Shawn's eyes, she was still beautiful.To l

"You're welcome."Joe looked back and forth between the two of them.He was also confused.These two were acting weird.Last time at the company's entrance, Shawn made Gale apologize to Winnie, which was outrageous.He thought something had changed.Unexpectedly, Shawn and Gale became even more tit-for-tat."Do you feel..." Summer uttered.Before she finished speaking, Joe nodded. "I think so."Even the blind could tell something was wrong.Gale packed the things in front of him, picked up the folder, and smiled slightly. "I've finished my work report, Mr. Wood. Mr. Winter, I'm sorry, I have other things to do."She pushed away the chair and turned around very coolly.Gale was polite.She left before anyone could allow her to do so.Gale strode toward the door without looking back.In her private time, she has been watching Shawn dangling in front of her eyes, which is already very annoying. She did not want to have too much interaction with Shawn during working hours!

The supervisor looked at her disdainfully.Only then did Gale realize that her appearance and clothes made the supervisor mistakenly think she was just an ordinary middle-aged woman.That was why he dared to bully her so casually!Gale smiled slightly. "I'm from the jewelry department.""The handyman from the jewelry department? Or the cook?" The supervisor said, "Don't run away. There is a shortage of manpower. Stay here and help clean this area first!"The cleaner waved his hand. "No need, I will do this alone..."The supervisor replied impatiently, "Don't worry about these things."Gale stood still.If the cleaning staff was really overwhelmed, and she accidentally hit the bucket just now, increasing their workload, she was willing to clean it up and help.However, volunteering and others forcing her were two different concepts!Seeing her attitude, the supervisor was even more upset. "Are you going to do it? What are you doing there? Who recruited you here? How can you be

However, the hostility in Shawn's eyes was hidden so deep that no one could see it."I saw it all just now. You are indeed only doing what you are supposed to do," Shawn said.Joe said in surprise, "Are you out of your mind?"Gale was not surprised.Shawn was speaking for the supervisor then, so she was not even surprised!He had already gone crazy! "Continue to work on your work. If there is no major fault, the company will not fire you," Shawn said.When the supervisor heard it, he suddenly became relieved from the panic and anxiety just now."Thank you, Mr. Wood! Thank you!" The supervisor nodded again and again. "I will definitely shine in my position and contribute my own strength to the company!"At this time, the cleaning was also completed.The supervisor hastily dragged the cleaner, carrying buckets, mops, and other tools, and left in a hurry.He was afraid that if he was one step too late, Mr. Wood would change his mind.Everyone in this company knew that Shawn w

Fiona shuddered a few times after hearing that. "Is Mrs. Wood…""No, everything is fine with Gale. It's just that Shawn really made Gale angry this time," Joe said.Fiona did not understand.At that moment, Shawn's voice was suddenly heard. "Fiona!""Yes!"Fiona walked right in.Shawn pursed his lips. "I need you to get something done."With a nod of the head, Fiona said, "Yes, Sir."Fiona was stunned after hearing what Shawn had to say before answering, "Yes, it will be done."Was Shawn personally handling such a small matter?What did the person in charge of the cleaning department do to Shawn?No one was really paying attention. At noon, the person would no longer return to the company.All traces of that person had disappeared.It was as if that person had never appeared in the company before at all!No one cared anyway.Very quickly, someone new took up a position.In such a large company, personnel changes were normal.As for what exactly happened to that person,

The maid had not left for too long when Winnie heard the sound of a car arriving downstairs.Shawn was probably back!She wanted to go take a look, but her body was in too much pain. So, she lay down obediently.Downstairs, Nicole had her bag on her back as she skipped inside.Shawn and Gale were behind her."Did you have fun at school today?" Shawn asked, "How were your classmates?"Nicole answered, "It was great. I'm so happy. Daddy, I want to go to school every day! I don't need weekends!""You like school so much?""Yes! There are the teachers and my friends. Joshua is there too!" Nicole's smile was so wide her eyes narrowed. "Joshua was in the class next to mine at the start, but he changed to my class in the afternoon!"What?Nicole was in the same class as Joshua?That meant that they would see each other every day.Shawn was a bit unhappy about it.The man Nicole liked the most at that moment, up to ten years in the future, should be him.Gale did not say anything

He did not want Gale and Winnie to be in the bedroom alone.If anything happened, he could still figure out a way to solve it!In the bedroom, Winnie was very happy to see Gale there.Any time she asked for something, Shawn would grant her wish!She even managed to have Gale send her her dinner!Sure enough, life was different when she was Shawn's woman!"Hurry up, what are you swaddling for? Bring it to the bed," Winnie said.Gale acted like she was deaf and could not hear anything. She focused on getting everything done.Once she put down the dishes, she turned around to leave."Are you planning on leaving before you're done?" Winnie called out to her, "Where is the cutlery?""It's right next to you. Are you blind?"Gale would not just take things lying down.She had already sent the food. What more did Winnie want?!"Put it in my hand, do you understand?" Winnie said, "It looks like you've never been properly trained before. You don't even know how to be a proper maid."

Gale clenched her teeth, telling herself not to argue against them. She composed herself, staying calm and bearing with it."Surely you should know to help pour tea and give out paper towels while you're serving someone?" Shawn said.Winnie did not voice out that request, but it was Shawn instead.For the sake of staying at Temperley Hall and taking care of Nicole for a few more days, Gale was forced to swallow her temper.She stood by Winnie's side.When Winnie coughed, she would pour the tea.The moment Winnie looked at any of the dishes, Gale would put it on Winnie's plate.Shawn merely sat by the side and read a book.They were the masters, and she was just a servant.She could fight back against anyone who was rude to her, but Shawn…How could Shawn treat her like that? Winnie slowly made things difficult for Gale. Gale merely listened to all of Winnie's instructions, wanting everything to be over.Finally."Alright, alright, you're so clumsy. Just go out," Winnie sa

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
