"Alright, take care of your health." Aurum handed her the umbrella as he turned around, not hesitating to walk right into the rain. He walked down the mountain with another path.When Aurum's figure disappeared, Gale walked down with the umbrella in hand.There was still some of his body heat on the handle.At the foot of the hill, a black Maybach waited there silently."Mr. Wood, she's here," the driver said.Shawn had been closing his eyes and resting. The moment he heard that, he opened his eyes and got out of the car.Gale walked through the rain, looking cold and proud.She said, "You were still waiting.""I was always waiting.""Can you distance yourself from me?"Shawn pursed his lips. "Gale, what do I need to do to prove that I didn't do anything to your mother?"She said, "You don't have to prove anything. You're still the cause of everything in the end. Two years ago, you barged into our family and let her witness her family shattering with her own eyes! She could

It was the first time he had ever heard anyone shout at Shawn!Yet, Shawn did not get angry and just looked at her. "If you're cold to me your whole life but remain by my side, I would be able to accept it."Gale glared at him. "You're shameless."When he heard that, he smiled.Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her feet. Shawn had bent down to hold her ankle, lightly lifting it to his knee."It's wet. Let's wipe it off and change to a new pair," he said.Shawn looked down and wiped her feet earnestly.His rough fingers constantly brushed against her tender feel. Gale wanted to pull her feet back, but he had a firm grip."No need. Shawn, let go. I'll do it myself," she said.That stance was far too intimate.Her white and soft skin complemented his honey-colored skin. It caused Gale to remember when he violently bullied her in bed unconsciously.Thinking about that, her face started to heat up. Worried that Shawn would notice, she decided just to let things be.When the car sto

She tried not to mention anything about Wendy's passing as well. She did not want to reopen the wounds in Gale's heart.Time still passed, as usual, and people needed to move forward.The imported cherries were large and juicy. Every bite burst with juices. Gale said with interest, "There's too many for me to eat. Are you sending some to Dr. Lighton?""I didn't buy any for him.""Thanks to him, I can raise my babies in peace. Just take it as a token of gratitude from me."Summer waved it off. "Fine, I'll thank him properly later. Don't bother with it anymore."Gale said, "Dr. Lighton is such a good person… Thanks to him being willing to hide it, we've managed to stop Shawn from knowing that I'm pregnant.""Of course, just look at my relationship with him. It's been so many years, and this is the first time I've asked him for anything.""What's your relationship?" Gale blinked. "Tell me.""We're best friends! He's a male best friend!"Gale let out a laugh. "Summer, why do you

Gale finally understood why Natalie seemed to see her with such animosity.So Natalie thought there was something between Aurum and her."Ms. Yarn, I think you've misunderstood things. The first time we met, I was definitely careless and was a bit too close to Aurum, but Mr. Lefting's already explained it. You know that I'm married to Shawn as well. I thought you would understand it," Gale explained.She was a pregnant woman. How could she have anything to do with Aurum?Her husband was even Shawn."That's right, I thought so then too. But you have an incredibly unusual relationship with Aurum! When you're in the hospital, he comes to visit you every time. He even calls you behind my back!" Natalie answered.Natalie bore with it the first few times, thinking that there was no way Aurum would be doing anything unspeakable with Mrs. Wood.However, she started to get worried after it started to get frequent.Not only was Aurum calling Gale, but she had also even heard Aurum shouti

Natalie paled incredibly quickly.That was a tightly guarded secret!How did Gale find out?!"You…" Natalie started to stammer. "Who told you that?""Mr. Lefting."Natalie's body started to sway. She had to steady herself against the wall. "You've not even known him for that long. He even told you that?"Yes, Natalie was an orphan the Yarn family adopted from an orphanage.However, since she started living with the Yarn family, her life of luxury has come incredibly easy. She had completely forgotten who she really was.She did not like mentioning her life in the orphanage, and did not even like admitting that she had been from one!As time passed, people slowly stopped mentioning it, and it was forgotten.It reinforced Natalie's identity as the heiress of the Yarn family!Gale looked at her. "Ms. Yarn, I don't mean anything by it, and I'm not trying to reopen old wounds. I just feel like you've taken the place of the Yarn family's real heiress in the end. You should have a

Natalie said, "I've seen the pictures. But that was when I was young. A long time has passed, and I can't really remember."Natalie did not want to mention that anymore and changed the topic. "Mrs. Wood, you're an important person. You shouldn't get too close to Aurum. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for you if Mr. Wood finds out."Gale smiled faintly. "Ms. Yarn, you must be really scared of losing Mr. Lefting.""I love him. Of course, I'd be worried about losing him!"Gale shook her head. "No, I feel like you're more afraid of losing your status as the Yarn family's heiress."Everything hidden in Natalie's heart had been exposed by Gale.It felt incredibly bad! Natalie was panicking!How did Gale figure it out?!Gale softly said, "Honestly, what's yours will be yours. No one can take it away. What doesn't belong to you will leave no matter how tightly you hold on to it. You must not have slept well these years.""Stop talking about it!" Natalie bit her lower lip. "Whether or n

Shawn walked toward the ward.When he was about to see Gale, he felt a bit complicated.The past few days, he had only dared to sneak into the ward deep in the night. He would look at her sleep and silently keep her company.When the sun was almost up, he would leave.He had already done that for a few days. Shawn felt like seeing Gale when she was awake was such a luxury.Standing in front of the door, he did not hear anything inside, which gave him the courage to push open the door.Summer suddenly called out to him. "Hey, hey, why are you here?""I came to see her.""She doesn't want to see you. I just asked Dr. Lighton. Gale's been recovering quite well. What if she ends up getting so angry everything goes backward when she sees you?!" Summer said directly.The words were rude, but the meaning was true.The person Gale wanted to see the least was Shawn.However…"She still has a long life ahead. There's no way she can avoid seeing me her whole life," Shawn said."That'

Even if she were dreaming, she should have said 'you' instead of 'you guys'!Shawn's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.He took his hand back and looked at Gale without blinking, wondering.He could not understand her sleep talk.Maybe because Shawn's gaze was too intense and focused, Gale felt like someone was staring at her and slowly opened her eyes.As soon as she opened her eyes and before she could react, she was met with Shawn's deep eyes.The two of them stared at each other."Shawn?" Gale felt she was not fully awake, rubbing her temples. "Are you actually here? Or am I still dreaming?""Gale, you just said something in your sleep."She stopped rubbing her temples, and her expression became unnatural.Gale knew she had a habit of talking in her sleep, which she could not control.The little kids with delicate features, chubby, with watery eyes, were adorable to look at!She had no idea what she said unconsciously and what Shawn heard!Would he doubt her?"Oh, yes."
