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

"After all, we are brothers.""Stop it.""Really, as your brother, seeing you in trouble now, I sympathize with you..." Joe patted him on the shoulder. "Of course, I believe you will solve this problem. It's only a matter of time.""What's up with you?"Joe smiled. "It's nothing. I just made a bet with Summer. She bet you really changed your mind and didn't love Gale. I bet you haven't changed.""What's the bet?""It's not important. You must not disappoint my expectations!" Joe replied.After finishing speaking, Joe turned and walked into the meeting room.He did not ask Shawn why he became what he was today or why he treated Winnie so well.It was because he knew that Shawn had his own plan.He just had to trust him and leave it to him.Shawn was Shawn, after all.Just look at Joshua.At such a young age, he won first place in the piano competition, sensible and reasonable…Tsk tsk, this genetic inheritance was really interesting!Shawn pursed his lips.He always thou

"That's right, Gale is miserable now. Yesterday he was standing by the side, waiting for me to eat." Winnie covered her mouth and smiled. "Besides, he did that when that woman was watching."Natalie asked, "Really?"Winnie was full of pride. "How could I lie to you?""It seems... our tricks are quite useful. What about Nicole?""Nicole still recognizes me as my mother but doesn't recognize Gale and hates her very much."Natalie nodded.Their trickery was effective.They had both Shawn and Nicole under control."Then, if you are so comfortable these days, why did you go to the hospital?" Natalie asked, "What's wrong with you?"When talking to Winnie, Natalie always had a sense of superiority.She had always looked down on Winnie.When Winnie was a female star before, she thought she was just an actress, so she could use her popularity and fans to do publicity for Aurum's company.Natalie never saw her as an equal.Not to mention the current Winnie. She was just a pawn in he

Natalie said, "Do you think you can hypnotize Shawn for the rest of your life? You will need to continue hypnotizing Shawn in the future! However, there are plenty of opportunities for you to share the bed with him, so don't worry."Winnie smiled. "That's right! So Nicole..."Natalie was reluctant."Natalie, think about it. If, at this time, one thing made Mr. Lefting unhappy, wouldn't you also..." Winnie reasoned."Shut up. How can you compare yourself to me?"Winnie's expression changed.These days, she was high and mighty in Temperley Hall, and she always shouted at everyone, including Gale, but now she was scolded by Natalie, which made her somewhat uncomfortable.However, she could only bear it.What the two of them did not notice was a figure passing by outside the door.The black figure leaning against the wall in the corner reported the latest situation, "Mr. Wood, Natalie came to the hospital, and now she is meeting and chatting with Winnie in the ward.""They met?"

Winnie raised her hand angrily and swept all the items on the table next to her to the ground.Natalie!What an attitude toward her!Okay, okay, it did not matter. She bore it a little longer. One day, when she gave birth to an heir for the Wood family and no longer needed to rely on Natalie, she must take revenge!Hmph, when the time came, no one dared to bully her, let alone scold her!Natalie got out of the elevator and walked toward the parking lot.Walking toward her was an old doctor in a white coat, with his hands behind his back and gray hair. He looked like a very experienced and wise old man.When he passed Natalie, he suddenly stopped her. "Wait.""You called me?" Natalie stopped."Yes." The old doctor looked at her complexion carefully. "Your complexion is gray, especially your eyeballs are a bit cloudy... Take some time to go to the hospital for a checkup.""I just had a physical examination, and everything is normal."The old doctor said, "Your complexion looks

Natalie nodded and sat comfortably on the sofa.Joshua stared at the bag in the servant's hand.He rolled his eyes, walked up to Natalie, and said, "Hello, Aunt Natalie."Natalie glanced at him. "It's you. What's the matter?"Aurum likes this little boy, and he has an inexplicable relationship with Gale, so Natalie dares not underestimate him.Therefore, her attitude is still polite.Joshua smiled. "I heard from Grandma Zoe that you and Uncle Aurum are getting married. Will there be wedding candy when you get married… Can you give me some candy? Let me be part of your joy? I wish you a long and happy marriage for a hundred years!"Natalie laughed. "That's right. Aren't you sweet? I really have candies in this bag, and I'll give you all of them!"When she said this, the servant was about to put her bag into the cabinet, but upon seeing it, he immediately handed it to her. "Ms. Natalie, here it is."Natalie took it and grabbed a handful of candies from the bag. "Here.""Thank y

Shawn replied flatly, "It's nothing. I just want Nicole to eat more.""But I can't finish it."Shawn said, "It's okay. Daddy has money, so you can eat whatever you want, don't feel bad about it."Nicole looked at him very seriously. "But the teacher taught us to save food and not waste it.""A capitalist like Mr. Wood spends money like water. How can he know how to save money? For him, this is already considered saving," Gale said beside him.Shawn just pretended that he did not hear what she said and picked up some vegetables for Nicole. "Eat."Nicole's little face immediately collapsed.He looked at Gale. "You eat too. What are you doing there?"Gale pointed to his nose. "Me? Sit down and eat?""Yes, that is right.""I..."Gale was about to say, 'Isn't she just a nanny, and she is qualified to sit at the same table with Shawn for dinner?'However, after thinking about it, why was she so humble and servile?She could have sat down to eat. She was Shawn's wife!At least s

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
