Shawn walked to the car. "Besides, Joe will arrange jobs for you, don't be choosy. If you annoy him, no one will take care of planning your acting career!"Susan unwillingly uttered, "Oh."She was aggrieved when Gale walked past her."Hey, what are you doing?" She grabbed Gale. "Where are you going?""Of course, I'm going home.""You, you..."Gale smiled and said, "I'm Mrs. Wood. Isn't it my right to take a car with my husband home!""What a bad wife! Mr. Wood was wet in the morning and caught a cold. Why didn't you take care of him?! You only know how to act majestically, but you don't know how to serve men!"Gale was stunned for half a second.Was Shawn drenched? What happened?Seeing her expression, Susan taunted her even more vigorously. "Look, you don't even know what happened!"She wanted to continue talking, but the window was down, and Shawn spat in a cold voice, "Get in the car."Gale complied.As the car drove away, Susan stared at her angrily.If Gale continued

"It's your voice. I heard it right. What did you call me?" Shawn said deeply."I…I...""Say it again."That was the first time Shawn heard it.Although he was in the car, he still heard it.It made him feel itchy as if he had been scratched by something.Shawn wanted to hear it again."Again...?" Gale's cheeks were a little hot. "Why?" It was inexplicable.Shawn must have a problem with his brain.They had no relationship beforehand. They hated each other, but now for no reason, he asked her to call him husband."No reason." Shawn's face was still cold."Then why should I call you that? No." Does she always need to do what he asks her to do?She also had her own temper.She is not afraid of dying anyway.Besides, it was not the first time that Gale had rejected him."Very well." Shawn pressed the bridge of his nose. "Don't even think about going to see your mother.""Shawn!" The car happened to arrive at Temperley Hall, and he reached out to open the door.Seeing tha

"The wet clothes on his body have not been changed. Tell me, how can his body handle it? Mr. Wood started coughing when he came back early in the morning.""These two days, he took medicine, and it's a little better, but he still coughs. Besides, there are so many things in the company waiting for him to deal with... Sigh."After listening, Gale slowly blinked for a long time.What was Shawn thinking?She found that she could not understand him.He was the one who wanted her to die, and he was the one who wanted her to live.Maybe, Shawn was enjoying this feeling of control... Her life and death, or other things, can only be decided by him.She could not decide for herself."Understood." Gale lowered her eyes. "Housekeeper, I'll go out first.""Okay."Gale was a little confused, looking at the flashing scenery outside the car window, trying her best to recall when and where she jumped into the lake. She thought of the night.She could not swim, and she was determined to di

"Okay, the biggest wish in my life is that our family of three can be reunited." "Yes, one day." The mother and daughter said goodbye reluctantly.As soon as the door closed, Gale wiped her tears.Wendy, inside the door, also wiped the corners of her eyes.The footsteps faded away, and the hallway was silent.Wendy was about to continue her rehabilitation exercise when the door suddenly opened, and a figure came in."Who?!" Wendy looked up at the young woman in front of her. "Who are you?"Susan smiled slightly. "I'm your daughter's good friend.""Gale's friend?""Yes, my name is Susan Fanning." Wendy's expression slowly relaxed."Hello, Miss Fanning. Are you here for Gale? She just left."Susan replied, "No, I'm here to see you. There are some things that Gale won't tell you, but I'll let you know the truth."Her eyes flashed viciously.Gale was very concerned about her mother, right? She really wants family affection, right?Then she will destroy it herself!The les

Wendy felt dizzy…Her precious daughter turned out to live such a miserable life... Every time Gale came over, she was still smiling, reporting good news but not bad news.Wendy murmured, "My poor daughter, I'm so sorry we hurt you...""Auntie, just keep it a secret. You will have money anyway. It just takes your daughter's life to continue this. She is still young and can hold on. What about in a few years?"Wendy slumped in the wheelchair, her eyes empty and numb."Forget it. I'm not going to talk about it. There are still many things, so you won't be able to bear it." Susan waved her hand. "Auntie, I'll go first. As for these things, you just need to know in your own heart it's not appropriate to talk about it."She left contentedly.Gale wanted to pretend that nothing had happened?Oh, not going to happen!Susan told Wendy the truth!It will stick in Wendy's heart like a thorn, take root, and sprout.After a long time... maybe then, Wendy would die in such a melancholy m

Shawn gave Gale a deep glance, her face indifferent and cold.Joe said, "Let's start. The acquisition case has already been discussed, and the Carson Group has no ability to resist. The theme of our meeting today is to discuss how to manage Fantastic Jewels and integrate it post-merger into Lovito. How can we learn its advantages?" The meeting did not end until almost midnight.Everyone was exhausted.Shawn said to speed up, and the whole company had to work overtime to catch up."Gale, are you alright?" Summer asked softly when the meeting was over. "You are pregnant, and it's not good to stay up late.""It's okay, I slept enough when I was in the hospital, and my energy is unlimited.""Don't put on a strong front. It's okay to come late tomorrow." Summer lowered his voice secretly. "I'll punch you in."Gale also replied in a low voice, "You forgot I have to take Shawn's car to the company?"Summer pouted and left.Gale got ready to get up, and Shawn's eyes swept over.Altho

She just walked out of the company but saw Sam standing on the side of the road.Gale was taken aback. Why is he here?She turned back and saw Shawn again.He walked to her side. "So afraid that I will find him?""I... just wanted to see if you are following me."Shawn snorted coldly, raised his hand to wrap around her waist, and walked straight to Sam.Gale wanted to struggle, but he tightened his grip, making her almost breathless.Sam stood there quietly.There are still wounds on his face, all of which were from getting beaten by Shawn."What are you doing here?" Shawn said lightly, "Come to surrender?"Sam first looked at Gale and then at Shawn's hand on her waist.After a long while, he said, "I know that you will definitely acquire Fantastic Jewels to run me out of my own company.""Good."Sam's face was haggard.However, he just smiled peacefully, without any sense of crisis.This made Shawn very unhappy.Sam should beg him."Shawn, you just got rid of me. Not

She also nodded vigorously. "After leaving the Carson Group...where will you go?""I will go abroad and relax.""Okay."Sam slowly walked away, turning his back. He seemed to be leaving.However, he suddenly turned around and reached out to take Gale into his arms.Gale was stunned.She heard Sam speak quickly in her ear, "I'll go abroad to help you find out the truth. Wait for me." He was pushed away as soon as he finished.Gale stood there in a daze."Looking for death?" Shawn's eyes were as deep as cold knives. "You dare hug my woman in front of me?"Sam staggered a few steps and shrugged. "It's just parting hugs. Why are you so nervous.""No man touches her!""If you are so confident, why are you scared if she hugs me for a long time? To put it bluntly, Shawn, you are not confident.""Go away!"Seeing this, Gale held Shawn back from hitting Sam.She heard it.Just now, Sam was deliberately risking his life to pass the message to her.Going abroad to find the truth..

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
