Chapter 1677
"Well, best wishes to you," Shawn said. With that, he took a step forward. "Fiona will contact you tomorrow. Goodbye."He had done what he needed to. Fiona would take over now.Shawn just had to show up to the extent he was needed. The agency had a firm grasp on their talents, so he needed to show up to sort that out."Mr. Wood! Let me see you off!"It was a small gesture. She could not do more for him anyway. He lacked nothing, and what he lacked, she could not give.Ivy adjusted her jacket. She caught a whiff of Mr. Wood's faint, yet refreshing cologne.Shawn did not even stop. "No need."He just wanted to get home quickly. If Gale were not back yet by nightfall... well, then he would have to go fetch her himself. Being a mother, how could one play so carefreely and not look at the time? What time was it anyway?Shawn continued walking ahead while Ivy hurriedly trailed behind.How could she let Mr. Wood walk alone?"Wait for me, Mr. Wood… Ah!"Before Ivy could finish her s
Chapter 1678
Ivy could not help but wonder what Shawn's affectionate side would be like. Surely, only Gale could see it. Even after Shawn had been gone for a long time, Ivy still stood in the same spot. The paparazzi were snapping away crazily, especially when she had slipped earlier. It was like they were blessed! "At first, I thought these deliberately angled shots might not be up to par, considering how much the buyer would pay for it. I never expected such a scene to suddenly unfold!" "It's like they're handing me money, Ivy. I declare you my lucky star. I wish you a bright future and a soaring career in the entertainment industry!" "Perfect! This is more than enough! Each one can stir rumors!" The paparazzi enthusiastically admired the photos on their camera. Ah, Ivy and Shawn in an embrace, eyes locked… Fantastic!He removed the memory card, whistled, and left the hotel. However, he did not drive away immediately. He looked around to ensure no one was watching, took out his phone f

If Shawn could change his mind naturally, it would take even less effort on Aurum's part."Alright. You did well," Aurum said."As long as you're satisfied, I feel good." The paparazzi grinned. "If there's anything like this again, feel free to call me anytime!"Aurum asked, "Have you seen me before?"The paparazzi hesitated for a moment, then quickly responded, "No, I haven't. I've never seen you before. I don't even know what you look like. We're just strangers.""Good. Keep your mouth shut. If you breathe a word of it...""I promise I won't! I have professional ethics! You can trust me!"Aurum nodded, stepped on the gas, and the car sped away.He was in high spirits.He hoped Shawn would fall for Ivy. It would work out well. Shawn with a female star, and he would have Gale. He would not need to break them up then.As the night progressed, Shawn was driving back home.His phone rang."Hello?"Nicole's complaining voice came through. "Daddy, why aren't you home yet?""I'

He thought, 'In the future, I'll set up a curfew for her. She must be home before eleven at night to prevent her from hanging out with Summer and losing track of time!'Shawn's car slowly pulled over by the road. He got out of the car but noticed a familiar vehicle. He raised an eyebrow and swiftly strode over. He tapped on the car window and said, "Joe, what a coincidence.""Oh, Shawn." Joe rolled down the car window. "Here to pick up Gale?""Yeah, what about you?"Joe looked nonchalant. "I'm here to pick up Summer."Shawn did not buy it. "You were on the same plane as Summer, but you weren't invited to this dinner. Don't you know where you stand? Why pretend in front of me?""I... I didn't want to intrude on their girlfriend's reunion. What would I do with two women chatting away?""Obviously, it's them who didn't want you there!"Joe got out of the car and leaned against the door. "I haven't settled accounts with you. While Gale and Summer have their gathering, we boys shoul

"Shawn, come on, do me this favor." Joe softened his tone. "I won't say much more. You know what I mean, right?"Shawn stared at him. "Are you really planning to pursue Summer?""I... Well...""Don't beat around the bush. I want a straight answer."Joe pursed his lips. "Why these questions? Anyway, you're already living happily ever after, so why would you care about my personal matters?"He was jealous of Shawn. With a wife, son, and daughter, Shawn was winning in life. Working during the day, enjoying family time in the evening and on weekends—his life was practically a fairy tale!Shawn replied, "If you're serious about pursuing Summer, then come up with a plan. Be open about it. Let everyone know you're pursuing her, no more hints, no more holding back.""Why? What if she rejects me? That'd be so embarrassing."Shawn countered, "Is your pride more important, or is having her as your partner more important?"Joe fell silent."I'm speaking from experience. I've been through
Chapter 1682
Upon hearing this, Joe's expression changed. He stroked his chin. "There's some truth to that."He and Summer had indeed progressed from friendship to something more, but it seemed they were still one step away from a relationship. During their time away, they spent almost every moment together. The roads on the construction site were rough; he had helped her, held her hand, and even carried her at times. Yet, their relationship remained stagnant.Shawn pointed out bluntly, "Are you waiting for Summer to confess her feelings to you?""How could that be! I dare not even think about it!"With Summer's personality, if she were to confess first, it would be like the sun rising from the west. She appeared straightforward and open, but that was in work and friendship. She was hesitant and not as courageous as Gale when it came to love. Summer was just direct on paper.Shawn patted his shoulder, "Do you know what to do now?"Joe frowned. "Let me think it over. Don't rush me."Truth be

Shawn glanced at him. "I think the most wonderful time is when you finally get her."It was not what Joe described at all—the ambiguous phase was when they were unsure of each other's feelings."You'll only understand once you're in a relationship." Joe shrugged. "You went straight to marriage, so of course, you won't experience that feeling.""Well, don't envy me too much for being able to marry in one go."Joe was speechless.Inside the restaurant, the aroma of food filled the air. This famous old restaurant had been open for over ten years. It was renowned far and wide and attracted a steady stream of customers every day.Gale and Summer had been coming to this place since their college days. After eating all sorts of instant food from convenience stores while she was away, Summer craved a freshly cooked dinner and specifically requested to come here!Shawn scanned the familiar faces around. Soon, he spotted Gale sitting by the window. There were several beer bottles on the t
Chapter 1684
"Hehehe..."Joe sat down beside Summer. Gale realized that Joe was also there. So, it had to mean that he was the one to bring Shawn here.Summer was not drunk, but she was definitely tipsy. The alcohol was getting to her, making her a bit excited and carefree.She slapped his shoulder heartily. "Joe, my man, didn't expect you to show up in the end. Too bad Gale and I are already done eating. How about we grab a couple of beers?""You're quite something, Summer, going straight for the alcohol?""Just a little treat, just a little treat. You and Mr. Wood must have finished eating too, so let's have a drink together to liven things up," Summer replied.Joe looked at her flushed face and the scent of alcohol in her breath, wrinkling his brows in resignation. He did not dislike her alcohol breath; in fact, he found it quite pleasant."Come on! Waiter, bring another crate of alcohol!" Summer called out."Sure thing.""This alcohol is nice. Gale and I always have a couple of glasses
