Joshua raised his head in a bad manner. "Well. I am so good. No one will dislike me.""You are indeed excellent."Shawn had to admit that.Nicole looked like a princess who grew up in a palace, while Joshua was a real man with courage and strategy.Joshua asked, "Uncle Shawn, what are you going to do? The spell must be undone. I don't know how long it will take to wear off, and what if it hurts Nicole? What to do!""We must find the person who cast the spell. Only Natalie can contact him or her.""But the bad woman is unwilling! She even refused Winnie's request!"Shawn pursed his lips deeply. "I will ask Winnie to try harder...""What if it still doesn't work?"Shawn replied, "Natalie doesn't want to endure the torment of poison every day, so she must obediently release the spell!"He had bargaining chips.He could afford to play dirty, and he would not lose!However, Shawn was unwilling to take this last risky move unless it was absolutely necessary.What he wanted was t

"Then tell me more." Shawn leaned back in his chair. "Why do you dislike your father so much?"He had never seen Molly.He only heard that Molly was divorced and she took care of two children alone.What kind of man could capture a low-key and talented woman like Molly but also break her heart and take the child away?"Because Daddy is blind, very blind. He is not worthy of my mommy!" Joshua said.Shawn was very surprised. "Is your father blind?"Joshua rolled his eyes. "It's not that he's blind. It's that he's… not smart enough."Fortunately, Shawn did not know that the father Joshua was talking about was himself.If he knew, his blood pressure would definitely go up with anger!The dignified No. 1 wealthy family in Sea City, the head of the Wood family, was stupid.Sure enough, it was a complaint from his own son, the most deadly!Shawn was kept in the dark and did not know anything. Not only did he not notice anything was wrong, but he was also very interested and kept as

Every day, the housekeeper had to tidy up and clean it himself, and other servants were not allowed to enter.Shawn was not afraid that Joshua's mischief would mess up the study?"I just happened to be talking about my father." Joshua blinked. "Big Beauty, would you like to listen together?"Gale's heart was about to jump out.Talk about his dad?In front of Shawn?What kind of confusing operation was this!Before Gale could react, Joshua had already led her in and said, "Come, let's chat together."She could only sit next to Joshua.Shawn's eyes fell on her face, but she did not look back.He just looked at her directly."Where were we... Oh yes." Joshua clapped his hands. "My father is stupid."The corner of Gale's mouth twitched.Joshua continued, "Actually, before this year, I had never seen my father, and I don't know what he looks like. I wasn't curious because he is not a qualified father.""As long as he has some brains and is not so blind, he should know how to c

She looked back several times, and after making sure that Shawn was not following, she knocked on his head with a thud."Joshua, what are you doing!""Oh, it's okay, I know. I won't expose myself."Gale said, "That's Shawn! I can't even fight him!"Joshua put on a very cool posture. "It's okay. Every cause must have an effect, and his retribution is me."Gale knocked his head.Joshua held his forehead aggrievedly. "Oh, Mommy. It hurts so much."Gale always felt that something was wrong. "You and Shawn should have nothing to do with each other, right?""No."He did not want to tell mommy about the task that Uncle Shawn had given him.It was better to keep these things away from his mother, the further, the better. She already had so many things on her plate. He must protect her.Joshua also did not want his mother to know he was cunning."Goodbye." Joshua got into the car and waved happily.He was happy tonight.After handing over the bug to Uncle Shawn, he had dinner with

"I sent you so many messages. Why did you not reply me...""I miss you so much. You did not even call me. I thought you wouldn't come today."Shawn replied flatly, "I've been in a meeting all this time. I did not check my phone. I just came here after work."As he said that, he showed her the phone, all of which were unread messages.Only then did Winnie feel relieved.It turned out that it was not that he did not visit because he did not have time."Are you angry with me?" Winnie sat up from the hospital bed, threw herself into his arms, and hugged his strong waist. "Shawn, I will give everything and do anything for you to make you happy."Shawn lowered his head deeply, looking at her clingy appearance. Disgust flashed in his eyes.He said, "I'm not angry with you. I just want Nicole to return to normal.""Shawn…""Gale hangs around at home every day, and I feel annoyed. Besides, she is afraid that Nicole will recognize her, so she pretends to be so ugly. I'm not used to it.

At that time, it was time to deal with Natalie and Winnie!If Winnie did not succeed in persuading Natalie, it meant Winnie had lost her value.What would Shawn do with a useless pawn?He can just tear his face off with Natalie!Winnie can just die without a place to bury her!Shawn drove back home.It was already late at night.Only the street lamps in the garden were still on.He stood downstairs, looking at the window of Nicole's room...the lights were still on.The curtains were drawn, but the light reflected Gale's figure sitting by the window.She was lying halfway on the sofa, her feet dangling from the armrests of the sofa. Her little feet kept shaking, and she was holding a book in her hand, slowly flipping through it.There is a kind of beauty and peace.Shawn just looked up with a slight smile on his lips.When you love someone, there will be tenderness in your eyes.Gale read a book, drank water, got up, and the shadow flickered to the tip of his heart."Gale

After a few seconds of silence outside, Shawn's voice sounded again, "Then let me see you.""I'm going to bed.""That means you haven't slept yet." Shawn knocked on the door with his fingers. "Open it."Gale was speechless.'Why is this person so overbearing and unreasonable!'Speechless!Shawn raised his voice again. "Gale, open the door. I have a way to open the door you know."This was his home, and he had the key.If the keys would not work, he could knock on the door louder.However, that would wake up Nicole!Gale gritted her teeth. He was clearly threatening her!"I'll count to three. One, two..."There was no other way. Gale could only open the door and looked at him irritatedly. "Shawn, can you stop being so annoying?!"He stood upright at the door, looking at her, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised with no hints of anger.He somewhat looked a little…happy? Gale just felt baffled.She said, "You seem to be in a good mood. You went to see Winnie, and
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 987
He was the one who knocked on the door first, he was the one who insisted on seeing her, and he was the one who suddenly turned around and left after saying good night.What kind of weird thing was he up to!Gale was so angry that she turned her head and went back to her room, and closed the door too!…The next day.When Shawn came to the office, he received a message…"Mr. Wood, Winnie went to look for Natalie, and she just got out of the hospital."His eyes flickered. "Keep an eye on her.""Yes."As he expected, Winnie was moved under his gentle offensive and repeated assurances.She thought that she had successfully hypnotized him long ago, so she could sit back and relax, and there was no need for Nicole as a chess piece.Winnie would definitely be willing to send Nicole away and make him happy!This was the best way.It depended on that woman, Natalie... Was she sly enough to detect it?Everything was under Shawn's control.In Aurum's home.Natalie was sitting on

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
