If he does not want her to die, she would not be allowed to die!At this moment, Gale stood there quietly by the window of the jewelry department, watching Sam's figure downstairs slowly walking away.She dared not to send him off for fear that Shawn would know.She could only watch him leave.The Wood Group acquired Fantastic Jewels, and the shareholders and directors dismissed Sam. His father asked him to go abroad and come back when the matter was over.To others, Sam said that he was traveling to relax.Only Gale knew he was leaving to help her find the truth."I'll wait for you to come back, wait for you..." Gale whispered to herself, "I believe that the day when the truth will be revealed is not far away."Finding out the truth was what gave her the will to live.Summer came over and said, "What are you looking at?"She shook her head. "I was just zoning out.""There's a celebration party in the evening, do you want to go? You're a big hero of Lovito.""I..."Gale wa

The driver asked, "Mr. Wood, are we returning to Temperley Hall?"Shawn said deeply, "No. Go to River View." The driver was stunned for a few seconds before responding, "Okay."The number of times Shawn went to the River View was close to none. How would he suddenly think of the past today?However, he had no right to ask more questions.Shawn sat in the back seat and closed his eyes.Without Gale… it was really boring.He grew accustomed to her existence.Well, habits are the scariest and most difficult thing to change.That was why... Shawn went to River View. Speaking of which, Susan was the woman he wanted to marry. Who was Gale?Nothing!In the apartment, Susan opened the door and saw Shawn standing outside. She screamed in surprise, "Mr. Wood! You're here!""Yes."She immediately hugged him affectionately. "You haven't come to me for a long time. I'm here every day, looking for you, and you're cold to me..."Shawn showed no expression on his face.Susan poured him a

However, if she did not answer, Shawn would be suspicious!Sure enough, Shawn did not hear an answer and turned around with a gaze that could penetrate people's hearts.How can Susan be able to fight against Shawn?She dared not look into his eyes at all.Shawn said, "Have you forgotten? Or..." It was not her.It was the people under him who made a mistake."Mr. Wood, actually I...I..." Susan lowered her head, looking like she was about to cry. "I have always been reluctant to recall that night."Why?""When it first happened, I was so scared. I lost my virginity, and I didn't even know who that man was..."Seeing her cry, Shawn frowned deeply.Susan added, "So I didn't dare to mention it, and I was trembling all day. I didn't know that person was you until you found me. If it were someone else, I would simply die... ""I just remember it was so dark and painful... The first time to a girl is so precious, and I didn't expect to lose it under such circumstances. At that time,

Shawn put away his mobile phone, but he was frowning.In order to create a romantic atmosphere, Susan specially arranged a candlelight dinner.A candlelight dinner accompanied with champagne and red wine along the river view.Susan changed into a silk slip dress. The cut of the dress opened to the chest, which was very revealing.She sprayed perfume and curled her hair... She was on a mission to seduce Mr. Wood to her bed tonight!She could not delay it any longer!"Mr. Wood, come here, let's toast." Susan thoughtfully poured red wine for him. "This is the first time we are having dinner together."Shawn clinked glasses with her and gulped it.No matter what Susan said, he was silent. He would just reply 'okay' and continue drinking.Susan took the initiative to sit next to him. "Mr. Wood, I'll serve you." The shoulder strap slipped off her shoulders. She thought no man could resist this kind of temptation.However...Shawn never even glanced at her.Susan was not convinced

The door lock rattled softly. Susan walked in, holding a lit scented candle in her hand.The smell was really enticing.She put the candle at the head of the bed, and soon the whole bedroom was filled with the smell of ecstasy.Even Susan felt itchy."Mr. Wood… Tonight, let me serve you well..."Shawn was already asleep, motionless. Susan unbuttoned his shirt and belt... Susan took off her clothes, lay down beside him, took his hand, and put it on her waist, nestled in his arms.The celebration banquet was over at eleven o'clock at night."I'll send you back. It's not safe for you to be alone at this late hour," Summer said. Gale smiled. "It's okay. I'll take a taxi back. You've been tired all day, so you should rest early.""You look so beautiful tonight. I'm not at ease."Gale smiled.When shopping, Summer chose a white mini skirt with thin suspenders for her, which outlined her perfect figure, and Gale had a soft temperament, making her look gentle and beautiful.Many

Afterward, Susan returned to her senses, covered her mouth, and chuckled softly. "Oh, you saw it... I'm really sorry."Gale stood straight on the spot, unable to say what was in her heart. What's it like...Shawn likes Susan deeply. This was something she has always known. What else can a man and a woman do together?Nothing but make love.However… Gale remembered that Shawn said he would not touch Susan before the divorce.He clearly said it.Why would he do this?Gale only felt that her breathing was very painful. She had no qualifications and no rights...Shawn did not love her in the first place, and she, Mrs. Wood, was just a titular one!Why was she so upset? She should not be!Although Gale tried her best to restrain herself, her pale face still revealed her emotions.Susan was very proud. "Please go out. I'll put on some clothes. Mr. Wood is tired. Don't wake him up.""You...""Well, you see." Susan's cheeks blushed. "Mr. Wood's physical strength is really good."

Something clearly happened.Even if he did not remember, it did not change the fact that it had.Seeing Gale's sarcastic expression, Shawn raised his eyes coldly. "I asked you to come over, but I didn't let you into the bedroom!" "I'm so sorry. I'll leave right away."She did not want to wait any longer!Shawn was even angrier and shouted sharply, "Stop!"She did not listen and continued to walk forward."You dare to walk out of this door!"Actually, Shawn did not know what to do anymore.The development of things was far beyond his control.He did not want to sleep with Susan so soon... Moreover, he made Gale walk into him!However, Shawn had always been calm and collective. No one could understand what he was thinking about.Therefore, he would not let Gale see his true thoughts!"I don't want to disturb you." Gale turned her back to him. "It's my fault. I shouldn't disturb your sleep. After all...you and Susan have both worked hard."Shawn got out of bed and grabbed h

Shawn threw her into the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. "Today you are so beautiful... Did you want to seduce a man at the celebration banquet?""I didn't! Why are you humiliating me!""Isn't it?" He snorted coldly. "Sam has gone abroad, and there are no men around you, so you can't wait to find another one!" Words were sharper than knives.Gale blushed and asked, "Shawn, the one who had sex with Susan was you, and I didn't do anything. Now you are creating something out of nothing, blaming me for dressing up and going to a celebration feast to hook a man?! Do you have any conscience!"They looked at each other.Seeing how she wanted to cry but tried her best to hold it back, Shawn wanted to raise her hand and touch her head.However, he had to endure.Shawn deeply felt a hint of helplessness... Why would someone as strong as he also have such emotions!Words were so useless when it came to expressing love, yet so sharp when expressing hurt!Shawn could not control

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
