"Of course.""Really?""You want to sign Ivy, but you want to sign a personal contract with her, not with her agency," Shawn said."Yes!" Gale nodded repeatedly. "My husband, you understand me!"Shawn raised an eyebrow. If she was calling him 'husband' so easily, she must be wanting something.Gale hooked her arm around his. "I know you have a way. You're amazing; there's nothing you can't do in Sea City!"Shawn leaned back. "Gale, are you trying to help Ivy terminate her contract, but have you asked if she's willing?""It sounds like she only signed with the agency out of helplessness. If she could terminate the contract, she would be willing to do it.""The penalty for termination must be high. Do you understand?" Shawn said. "That's why I came to you."The penalty must be astronomical, a figure that Ivy could not afford. No one else would be willing to pay that amount to poach her. She would have to fulfill the contract until it expired. However, Gale believed Shawn had a

Ivy took a while to compose herself. "The penalty is quite high, very high. Even though this amount might not mean much to you and Mr. Wood, but why would you spend this money on me? Besides, I won't accept it."She did not want to owe such a big favor, especially to someone she just met."Don't worry about that; leave it all to my husband. He can definitely handle it." Gale held his hand, intertwining their fingers. "Right, darling?""Gale...""Good! You agreed!"Shawn was speechless.Ivy also looked bewildered.Gale grinned. "Ivy, go back and wait for news from us. If there's anything, my husband and I will contact you anytime. Don't worry, leave it to us, as long as you're willing to cooperate!""I...""I genuinely like you, I have no ulterior motives. Besides, Wood Group is not involved in the entertainment industry. Consider me your super fan, I just want to see you get better and better!" Gale said.And so, Ivy came and went in a daze.When Bill saw her and confirmed i

Gale could not come up with an answer. Seeing that her usual playful tactics were not working, she decided to be straightforward. "Shawn, we're a married couple. I've laid out my thoughts. Are you really going to stand by and do nothing?"He raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to threaten me?""Anyway, I just want to sign Ivy.""You can sign an endorsement contract with her anytime. As for her and the agency, Gale, you're getting too involved," Shawn replied."You don't understand. Women help women, Ivy will surely become a shining international superstar. Her current agency favors Lulu over her. They lack vision, it will hinder her career."Shawn pressed his temples. His wife always found something for him to do when he did not need to. For him, achieving it was easy, but he felt it was unnecessary. He was not as kind-hearted and charitable as Gale, and it had no benefit or harm for him. Why bother?However, he could not resist Gale's constant nagging in his ears."Just lift a

Shawn already had a plan regarding Ivy.Now, all that was left was for him to take action.Since Gale was so eager to accomplish something, he would naturally see it through. It was time to showcase his capabilities.Every man hoped to appear as a hero in front of his beloved woman, to be her support, and to shelter her from the storms. Shawn was no exception.As soon as the clock struck half-past five, there was a knock on the office door."Come in."Shawn did not lift his head, holding documents in one hand and a pen in the other.He heard approaching footsteps.After several seconds of silence, with no sign of speaking, Shawn raised his head in confusion and slight annoyance, only to be greeted by Gale's smiling face.Why was she here?"I'm here. It's the end of the workday, dear," Gale, with her bag on her back, said.Shawn leaned back in his chair. "Are you here to leave together with me?"She nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."This was unusual. She was making a move on h

"You don't even wear these!"With a forceful tug, Joshua snatched the shoes from Gale's hands. Victory was his! Like a triumphant general, he proudly and smugly placed the slippers at Shawn's feet."Shawn, please wear your shoes."Gale stood nearby, pursing her lips. Shawn remained calm and composed, looking like he deserved this treatment. The housekeeper on the side was already petrified. He was at a loss. Fetching slippers for the master should be his job, right? He had been doing it for decades. Ever since Joshua returned to Temperley Hall, he was put out of a job. The housekeeper was fine with that, enjoying the harmonious father-son dynamic between Mr. Wood and Joshua. However, what was Gale doing? Two of them were fighting to serve Shawn!Shawn stepped into the living room, sat on the sofa, and reached for a glass of water. Gale, quick on her feet, immediately poured him a glass. "Here."A faint twitch appeared at the corner of Shawn's mouth. He had a hard time holding

"You listen to me. Mom is like an unloved queen. Her biggest wish every day is for the emperor to come to her palace. The moment the emperor arrives, she becomes lively, all smiles, busy, and delighted," Nicole answered seriously.Gale was stunned.Surprisingly, Nicole's description was quite accurate.She looked like she was fawning over Shawn.Gale was amused and pinched Nicole's face. "Every time you say something absurd, it's strangely apt."Dale added, "At such a young age, you watch these kinds of dramas about emperors, queens, and romantic plots, you really know a lot!""It's fascinating. Mom, when I grow up, I want to act, become a star, an actress. That way, in the future, you and Dad can watch TV dramas I'm in!" Nicole said.Joshua looked at her. "You? Probably a minor character who dies in the first episode!""Not at all! I'm definitely the female lead! The lead actress!""With our family's influence, we can get you the lead role, but it'll cost quite a bit. Ah, wha

Without Gale competing against him, Joshua could confidently attend to Shawn. Pouring tea and water were minor tasks. As soon as Shawn becks, Joshua would immediately be at his call.Gale murmured, "Nicole was right; you do seem like a servant. If we were in ancient times, you'd at least be in charge of his harem!"Upon hearing this, Joshua shot her a disdainful look. The family of four sat on the sofa, watching TV. The servants stayed outside, not disturbing the harmonious and warm leisure time. Gale thought it would be more remarkable if she were not burdened with concerns. Unfortunately, while pondering Ivy's matters, she also had to think about her evening later.That was her chance to please Shawn! Moreover, she could not tell anyone about this or ask for advice. It was too personal.At ten o'clock, Gale left Nicole's room and returned to the master bedroom. Shawn sat halfway on the bed, wearing his glasses and holding a book. "Have they gone to sleep?""Yes, before bedtime

Did Shawn never need a break? Nevertheless, tonight, Gale gritted her teeth and went all in. All for Ivy! For her goddess idol!"I'll turn off the lights first," Gale said, reaching for the desk lamp. However, as her hand approached, Shawn grabbed it, pulling her into his arms.The silky nightgown felt smooth, and Gale thought she could sense the texture of his muscles. She gulped. "Turn off the lights.""Even after all these years of marriage, you're still shy?" Shawn teased."You know it… don't say it out loud…"Shawn's hand rested on her waist, lazily patting her as if soothing a child. He held her without any further action."Gale." After a while, he called her."Yeah?""I can handle Ivy tomorrow."Gale was overjoyed, looking up at him. "Really?""I never break my promises to you. Trust me.""You are really..." He silenced her with a finger on her lips, not letting her continue, "Let's not rush into this."Gale blinked.Resting her chin on his chest, she kicked off h

Her mind raced as she searched. "Where is it? I didn't see it. Wait a moment."Shawn remained calm. "It's right where I said, no mistake. If you can't find it, it's okay. I'll come and help you personally.""No need! I found it!""Then, put it on and give it a try."Gale froze. Put it on? She had to wear it? What could it possibly cover? How did Shawn develop such a taste?Seeing she was silent as a mouse in the closet, Shawn's lips were twisted into a faint smile. He knew exactly what mood she must be in now. That was okay; Gale was naturally shy, and it would take her a bit to accept this. He would give her some time.After a few minutes, Shawn deliberately asked, "Changed already? Or do you not know how to put it on? Do you want me to help you?"Gale still did not answer."When I bought it, the salesperson showed me how to wear it," Shawn said.She was even more dumbfounded. Shawn not only bought it but also learned how to put it on. How shameless was he!Wait a minute, Sh

"Don't force yourself, Gale.""Not forced." Gale took a deep breath. "Go out first. I can manage on my own."Shawn's smile deepened as he lifted her hand, placing the nightgown in her palm."I'm looking forward to it, Gale."Gale looked at him, feeling like a lamb ready for slaughter. Especially now, with Shawn wearing glasses, he exuded a more refined air. This style suited him quite well!After speaking, Shawn walked out. Five minutes later, the door of the dressing room slowly opened. Shawn took off his glasses and looked straight ahead. Gale's head was almost lowered to her chest, her hands covering different parts. She did not know where to put her hands! It seemed like everywhere needed to be covered up.Shawn's Adam's apple rolled. "Come here," he said.Without hesitation, Gale rushed over and dove under the covers. She sighed in relief. With a blanket, she felt much safer. Shawn raised his hand, turning off the bedside lamp. The master bedroom plunged into darkness, wi
