"I'm going to prepare some fruit." Gale got up and walked outside.Just as she opened the door, Shawn was about to open the door and come in.She did not know, nor was she prepared, so she crashed straight into Shawn's arms.Shawn stretched out his arms and hugged her. "Galey, you can't wait to throw yourself into my arms...?"As soon as she touched his skin and smelled his faint scent, Gale immediately jumped out of his arms as if she was electrocuted."Who threw who into your arms! Why did you not knock on the door!""I'm in my own home, and I still need to knock on the door?""Then this is not your room."Shawn pursed his lips slightly. "It's my daughter's room."Nicole's childish voice sounded. "Daddy! Look, I'm preparing a gift for you."His cold brows and eyes quickly softened. "Here I come."Gale continued to walk outside."Winnie is back. Don't make her angry," Shawn reminded without looking back.Actually, he was asking her to avoid Winnie.Otherwise, if there wa

She squinted at Gale. "I don't want to be too cold. Understand?"Gale closed her eyes, opened them again, and forcibly smiled. "I understand."Tolerate.She had to endure, for Nicole's sake!Winnie would get what she deserves one day!Gale picked up the fan, stood beside her, and gently fanned Winnie.Winnie said, "I can't feel anything at all!"Gale fanned harder."Are you trying to freeze me to death? Do you know what moderation is?"Gale fanned the fan slowly, and Winnie showed a satisfied expression. "Not bad, not too stupid."She did not stop. Gale kept fanning, and her hands were so tired that she could not feel it.Winnie was trying to trick her on purpose.She knew, but there was no way.Finally, Winnie said mercifully, "Go, get a glass of water."Gale kept an eye out. "Do you want warm water or ice?"Winnie did not expect her to ask such a question. She was quite clever.She immediately snorted coldly, "Warm water.""Hold on."Gale went to pour a cup of warm

When Gale leaves with Nicole, they will not see each other again!Winnie also did not want to see their mother and daughter again!Next to him, a servant looked at Gale's back as she went away, and his face flashed unbearably.It was time to inform Mr. Wood.He could not let the real mistress continue to be bullied like this!Glancing at Winnie, seeing that she did not notice her, the servant moved quietly and slowly, turned around and left quickly, and ran to the second floor.There was no one in the master bedroom, no one in the study. Mr. Wood was in Ms. Nicole's room!Shawn was folding stars with Nicole.He was still very moved when he thought this was his daughter's gift.It was the first time he received a gift from his daughter, and she made it all by herself.Shawn's heart was greatly comforted!"Daddy, you made a mistake again." Nicole corrected him, "It's like this."Shawn was a little...clumsy.He had never touched this kind of thing.His hands were only suitab

It was because she could not provoke Winnie!Shawn pursed his lips deeply. Of course, he understood it was clearly intentional!However, he could not show signs of emotion!"This is not a good look." Shawn waved his hand. He wanted Gale to leave quickly.In the end, Winnie stopped her. "Come on, Shawn. She is willing to stay here, right, Gale?""Yes." Gale nodded. "I am very willing to care for Mr. Wood and Ms. Nightingale. It is my honor to serve you two!"She was like a machine, without emotion.Shawn took a deep look at her. "Aren't you usually aggressive? Now you are docile, Gale. Did you take the wrong medicine? If you are told to leave, do you still not want to leave? Don't be an eyesore!""Ms. Nightingale didn't let me go, so I won't go. I'm sorry, I can't obey Mr. Wood," Gale replied.'What's up with her?''Did Winnie also control her?'Shawn's heart sank slightly, and he immediately looked at Winnie. "What's wrong with her?"Winnie leaned on his shoulder and said

"No tools are allowed. Using a walnut clamp will crush the nut inside. Gale, use your hands to crack the walnuts out one by one," Winnie warned.Shawn's deep eyes suddenly darkened, and all the muscles in his body tensed up.She actually wanted Gale to crack the walnuts by hand!It was okay to peel one or two, but any more would result in bleeding hands!Winnie thought it was because she did not massage well enough. "What's wrong, Shawn? Relax a bit. I'll massage you slowly."His Adam's apple rolled, and he suppressed his anger vigorously. "Yes."Gale also knew what she was going to face and was very calm, not surprised at all.Winnie originally wanted to torture her.There are about thirty walnuts in a bag, and they are the kind with a very hard shell.She squatted beside her and slowly cracked the walnuts one by one.It was very hard, and Gale could only use both hands to crush the walnuts vigorously. The lines on the walnuts were deeply imprinted on her hands because of th

Gale could accept Winnie humiliating herself, but she could not accept Nicole being insulted like this!"A loser?" Gale smiled and said, "Ms. Nightingale, don't forget, you are also a woman."Winnie was stunned, her mouth was slightly opened, and she did not know how to refute for a long time.Therefore, Winnie got even angrier. "Shut up, Gale, and crack your walnuts properly! You can only leave once you have finished cracking all of them!""Will you let me go when you finish peeling the walnuts?""Yes!""What about Nicole?""Just wait. I made my promise to Shawn, and I will do what I say," Winnie said.Gale nodded. "Okay, I'll wait."When that day comes, Nicole will call her Mommy and happily throw herself into her arms… Gale felt that her hands did not hurt so much anymore.Although...the blood flowed more and more!After she finished cracking the bag of walnuts with her hands, she put the walnut kernels in a porcelain bowl and placed it in front of Shawn and Winnie.A bo

"Yes, but it's all stained with blood. It's broken, and I can't eat it.""If you ask Gale to crack it off with bare hands, it will definitely be covered in blood."Seeing that Shawn seemed unhappy, Winnie quickly said, "I thought cracking the walnuts by hand would make them whole. Who knew she was so delicate... a bag of walnuts wasted.""Gale is indeed...delicate."It was because she had never done manual labor!"Eat." Shawn looked at Winnie deeply. "Don't waste it.""Shawn..."Shawn suddenly raised his voice. "Eat!"Winnie was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Shawn had already grabbed a handful of walnuts and stuffed them into her mouth!She swallowed several nuts and almost choked to death, coughing again and again."Shawn..."Shawn did not care about her feelings, grabbed another handful of walnuts, and stuffed them into her mouth. "If you like it so much, then eat more! Eat!"Winnie had no ability to resist.She fell on the sofa, and her hands were fl

She frowned slightly.Shawn squatted down. "Galey..."Gale's eyelids moved, but they did not open.With distressed eyes, he took out the medicine and cotton swabs, and began to treat her wounds.Afraid of waking her up, Shawn did not dare to turn on the light, so he relied on the moonlight filtering in through the windows.When the medicine touched her wound, it hurt so much that Gale gasped.Shawn tried his best to be gentle.He carefully wiped off the blood, applied the medicine again, and blew gently to let the medicine dry up quickly and relieve her pain.Gale's hands are used to draw designs.After Winnie's torture, she might not be able to pick up a paintbrush for at least half a month."Galey, it will be over soon. Everything will end... What you have suffered now, what you have endured, will definitely be repaid ten times a hundred times a thousand times in the future, and I will get it back from Winnie!"Shawn stood beside the single bed, quietly watching her sleepi

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
