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

Shawn nodded, looking at her lovingly. "Yes. If Nicole wants to leave with Gale, I'll grant them their wish. I'll just give them a monthly stipend. That's my responsibility as her father. If Nicole wants to stay, then that's even better. Winnie, then I wouldn't need to worry about Nicole crying after she wakes up. We can leave our lives in Temperley Hall happily forever." He started to brainwash Winnie.He was trying to learn about the cure from that.If that does not work, then he would be able to learn some other information from Winnie!Winnie's heart felt incredibly warm at Shawn's words.He was already thinking about their future.Only…Winnie did not know how to cure Nicole at all!Only Natalie had the solution! She never asked about it before!"Shawn, let's just leave it up to fate. Let's just focus on the present," Winnie said."How could I do that? I don't want Nicole to hurt you and make you sad after she wakes up."Winnie answered, "When she wakes up, she'll be muc

Before she could answer, he left in a hurry. He did not even turn back.Winnie looked at his back with guilt and worry.Shawn seemed to be angry. She could feel it.Winnie obviously did not want Shawn to be angry at her, and to act coldly toward her because of it.She should go ask Natalie how they could cure Nicole.After all, Winnie felt like Nicole was already not that useful to her. That was because she had already hypnotized Shawn, and he only loved her.Nicole's existence would only take away Shawn's time and love.She wanted Shawn to be fully focused on loving her!She could just let Gale take Nicole away. Then, she and Shawn would be able to happily stay in Temperley Hall together!She would satisfy Shawn and chase away Nicole and Gale at the same time!Everything would be fine as long as Shawn continued to be infatuated with her!With that in mind, Winnie decided to meet Natalie the next day!Yet, Winnie did not expect the lights to go out at around ten in the ni

"Where did Mommy go?"Shawn's lips curled up slightly. "She went on holiday. She'll be back in a few days."Nicole nodded, believing it.Gale definitely did not believe it.Those words were only enough to trick a child! Was Gale supposed to believe that Winnie had gone on vacation so early in the morning?It was absolutely impossible!After dropping Nicole off at the kindergarten, they went toward Wood Group. Gale could not help but ask, "Where exactly did Winnie go?"It had been so difficult for Winnie to enter Temperley Hall. It was the perfect time for Winnie to show off. She would want nothing more than to keep staying by Shawn's side, so how could Winnie suddenly disappear?"Why are you so concerned?"Gale smiled. "I just want to know if she's dead or not."She absolutely hated Winnie!"She should die, but not right now. At the very least, she should only die when Nicole has been cured. She can burn to ashes for all I care," Gale said.Shawn answered as he drove, "She'

Was that not the cleaner who was cleaning up around the meeting room the day before?The cleaner smiled. "Yes, all the important people were around yesterday, so I didn't manage to speak to you."Gale looked at him and said, "Did your superior give you any difficulty?"The cleaner said, "No, he resigned.""Resigned? By himself?""Yes."Gale had a strange look on her face.What happened? Joe wanted to fire the man, but Shawn had defended him. Logically, the man should have stayed in the company.Why would he resign for no reason?Did Joe threaten the man in private?She would go ask Joe later.Before Gale could understand it, she saw that Shawn was walking over.Whatever, she had to avoid Shawn first!Gale said, "That's great. No one will cause you any trouble. I still need to work. Good bye."She pressed the button and walked into the elevator, worried that Shawn would stop it.Thankfully, the elevator went up without issue.Gale sighed in relief.When she reached he

In those four years, Shawn never swayed. He never even glanced at all the women who came for him. He never touched another woman and was always mourning Gale.How could Shawn suddenly change his mind after Gale returned? How could Shawn possibly be sincere toward Winnie?Even though Joe did not know what Shawn was doing, Joe believed in him.So, Joe hoped that Gale would believe in Shawn too. Gale laughed. "He won't disappoint me? Trust him? Mr. Winter, do you know how much I've been through the past few days in Temperley Hall? Do you know what I've seen and heard?""Uhm…"Gale said, "He spends every night with Winnie. Their cries can be heard everywhere in Temperley Hall. Today, Winnie was hospitalized because Shawn was just too aggressive. She couldn't get off the bed and couldn't walk."Joe was shocked. "Did that really happen?""Yes, I saw it myself.""Actually, there are a lot of things that you shouldn't use your eyes to see or your ears to hear. You have to feel it wit

Haha! What a joke!"Let's make a bet, then. If we've all misunderstood Shawn, then I win. If Shawn's really stopped loving Gale, then you win," Joe suddenly suggested.Summer nodded. "Alright, bet!"She refused to believe they had misunderstood Shawn in any way!It was impossible!Nicole was calling someone else her mother. Gale was so sad about it. It was the time were Gale needed comfort and someone with her the most, but what did Shawn do?Did someone hold a knife to his neck and force him to love Winnie?No one would have the ability to do that. No one would even dare!If Shawn had the time to play with another woman, why was he not using the time to try and cure Nicole!"Are you sure about that?" Joe was interested as well. He felt like he would definitely win. "What should we bet on? Make sure you don't take back your word!""Please, I'm a woman of my words. I won't regret it! Joe, don't be so pleased with yourself. What makes you think you can win?""I believe in Shaw

Summer turned around gracefully and walked toward her office.Joe also turned around and went back to his office.Two people ran in opposite directions.However, their hearts seemed to be drawn closer at this moment.Summer's mind was blank as she sat at the desk, looking at the computer screen.She suddenly… regretted it!How could she make such a bet with Joe!'Hello Summer, hello Summer, are you out of your mind?!''Be his girlfriend? What a joke, I might as well kill myself!'Taking a step back, what happiness would be there if she won?Anyway, Joe had no dignity. Men have thick skin.Summer felt like she was at the losing end of the stick!Was it too late for her to regret it now!However, she agreed to it. She was so arrogant just now, and now she was cowardly… Joe would ridicule her for a whole year.Summer scratched her hair indiscriminately. "Hey, forget it. Let's talk about it when the time comes. Anyway, the words have already been spoken, and I can't take the

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
