Chapter 1547
Shawn slowly stirred the porridge in his hand, glancing at Joshua. Joshua obediently opened his mouth. Shawn was irritated. If Joshua annoyed him further, Shawn might not do anything to him, but his poor mommy would bear the brunt of his anger. Ah, being a son was truly challenging.Shawn fed Joshua, and Joshua ate each spoonful earnestly. The hospital room fell into an eerie silence. Before long, Joshua had consumed most of the porridge.Gale saw it and thought it would take them forever to get used to each other. Maybe she, as the mother, needed to step in to foster their bond.She walked to the bedside and sat down. "You couldn't be with your dad before, and it's my fault. You've met Daddy many times but couldn't call him your dad."Unexpectedly, Joshua shook his head. "No, it's not your fault; it's... Daddy's."Shawn paused. Joshua explained logically, "He didn't provide you with enough security or manage to earn your complete trust. He was absent during Nicole and I's
Chapter 1548
Gale pondered over Shawn's usual attitude toward Joshua and suddenly felt a chill. They never quite got along. Could their relationship improve just because they were related? Considering Joshua's mischievous nature, she sometimes could not resist disciplining him, let alone Shawn.Joshua's eyes darted around. "When I was living with the Lefting family, I overheard the servants gossiping. They said the Wood family is the wealthiest family in the entire Sea City. The combined wealth of the Lefting and Yarn families doesn't even compare to half of the Wood family's fortune. Daddy, is that true?""It's true." He was really wealthy; there was no need to hide it. Besides, he saw no reason to hide the family's wealth from his children. Every parent wants to provide the best for their children."Then, as your son, can I inherit your position and wealth in the future?" asked Joshua."Yes," replied Shawn.Joshua's eyes lit up. "How many billion is it worth? Daddy, I think you're a bit

He would not get anything?Gale nodded. "I was there when they signed the contract." The light in Joshua's eyes dimmed. "Bias! You're biased! You favor girls over boys! Why am I reduced to being Nicole's little employee!" Joshua kept yelling.Others were biased toward boys over girls. In his family, it was the complete opposite! Joshua was very dissatisfied. He wanted to protest. It wasn't about the shares or the money; he was dissatisfied with Shawn's actions! Why was everything given to Nicole? She would boast about it in front of him in the future!"Our shares are yours and Nicole's. We're all family. Why so calculative?" Shawn asked. "Would Nicole exploit you?" "She would!" Despite Nicole's innocent appearance, there was a little devil inside her. Joshua knew his sister too well. He would be exploited for a lifetime."Then be good to her. Maybe if she's in a good mood, she'll give you some shares," Shawn suggested. Joshua was speechless."Alright, Shawn, stop teasi

Joshua became more and more agitated as he spoke. "Mommy, didn't you notice? I was confused at the time. Although I and Shawn weren't on the same page, I had a good relationship with Nicole. I wouldn't even harm Nicole, so why was he always on guard against me?"Gale coughed. "Well..." How should she explain that? Even Shawn cleared his throat awkwardly. At that time, he did not know Nicole and Joshua were siblings. He thought Joshua was a smooth-talking playboy trying to win Nicole's heart. As a protective father, he had to ensure his precious daughter's safety. He could not let Joshua deceive Nicole at such a young age! So, Shawn disapproved of Joshua.Unexpectedly, they were siblings. They had grown up together, as familiar as can be. It turned out Shawn, in his busybody nature, had worried for nothing. In his defense, he had no idea Joshua was Nicole's real brother."Shawn, tell me. Even if you didn't know I was your son, Nicole and I were classmates. Why shouldn't I be al

That was the first time he visited the small county. He waited in the room for Molly to show up. However, he was stood up. Surprisingly, Joshua fearlessly burst in, climbed onto him, and sat on his lap. Moreover, Joshua's opening line was to ask if he was single.Joshua said, "I was bullied by a few kids who said I didn't have a dad. Out of anger, I got into a fight with them. When their parents surrounded me, Shawn suddenly appeared, helped me out, and scared those parents and unruly kids.""But when we met again later, Shawn was different; he had changed completely. He never treated me so well again!"Men are truly fickle…Gale was about to say something when Shawn said, "It's okay. I can wait for the day you're willing to call me Daddy.""Joshua, I indeed haven't fulfilled the responsibilities and duties of a father. It's right for you to be dissatisfied with me.""I need to step out for a moment."Shawn withdrew his hand and hurriedly walked out."Shawn..."Gale watche

Her tone softened. "Give Joshua some time, okay? Spend more time with him. I'll talk to him. He will call you Daddy in no time."Gale tugged at his sleeve, swaying gently. Her voice was both soft and tender. She looked innocent and pitiable with her big, watery eyes fixed on him.Shawn could not resist. He sighed softly and reached for her hand."This is my fault. If you knew Joshua was your son, you would not have treated him like that, and he wouldn't hold a grudge." Gale took a step forward, leaning onto him. "Take it easy, okay?""Should I apologize? Or should I give you a kiss so you'll feel better?"Shawn could not resist Gale's gentle plea. He held her waist, pulling her into his embrace. "A kiss?""Yes, a kiss for my husband." Gale nodded.Shawn gulped. Suddenly, her sudden display of affection made him a bit restless. If they were not in a hospital, he would press her against the wall and kiss her passionately until she could not stand anymore."Gale, do you think I

She buried her head in his chest. "If I can convince Joshua to call you Daddy now, can you let me go?""No.""Why?""No reason."Gale bit her lip. "Actually, Joshua accepts you. If he truly dislikes someone, he won't bother or even say a word. He talked to you, and that meant he acknowledged you.""Is that so?""Yes. Trust me, I know my son. He doesn't dislike you.""Then why won't he call me Daddy?"Gale answered without hesitation, "Pride. You haven't called him son or showed that you care. How could he willingly call you Daddy?"She poked his chest. "This is all up to you."That put Shawn in a difficult spot. His way of dealing with Joshua had always been mutual appreciation mixed with mutual disdain. Now, with the sudden realization that they were father and son, turning around their relationship was indeed challenging. Shawn could not adopt the same tactics as he did with Nicole; Joshua was not someone who could be won over with hugs and kisses. The father and son were

His two children would surely not prioritized money above all else. Shawn had confidence in Gale too; she had raised the two children well. Joshua and Nicole surely valued their bond over all else.When Joshua was living away, Nicole talked about her brother daily. She thought about him while eating, doing everything with him in mind. Despite returning to the luxurious life at Temperley Hall, she never forgets her brother. She even kept trying to hint at Shawn subtly, but unfortunately, Shawn remained oblivious."You're really jumping ahead of yourself. Maybe Nicole will be a career-oriented strong woman in the future, while Joshua will be a carefree young master." Gale chuckled."The children would have to find this out themselves. We can't control them that much, Gale."True. Each person has their own path. Parents cannot accompany their children throughout their lives.Gale lifted her chin, lightly poking his chest. "You seem to be quite open-minded. If only you could be this
