Shawn listened, then swept her up in his arms and stood up. "Let's go back to our room.""But it's too early."Was he going back to rest now? Shawn's intentions were too obvious."Don't get carried away.""I'm just going to massage your back.""Are you sure?""I'm sure. Am I that kind of person to you?" Shawn assumed a dignified look."You are.""Hmm?""You are. Quit pretending," Gale affirmed.She had no idea what Shawn was thinking. She stayed, taking care of Joshua in the hospital every day, rarely going home. Occasionally, he would sleep in the hospital room with her. With Joshua around, even their kissing had to be done discreetly, let alone other intimate activities. Now they were finally back home with a room and a spacious bed, a world for just the two of them, undisturbed... Gale had already anticipated what would happen next!"Start with the waist, we'll see about the rest later." Shawn held her securely and went upstairs steadily.The servants in the living room

"My Galey is getting smarter." Gale suddenly felt deflated. She knew Shawn would not easily let go of this. However, what he wanted was too much!"Forget it. You just continue being mad. I don't care anymore." Gale let go, turning away from him.She was willing but unable. Take it or leave it. She was tired of negotiating.Before she could touch the bed, Shawn's arms tightened around her waist, and he pulled her back. Gale struggled.As a result, both of them tumbled onto the big bed. Shawn was impossible to pry away."Hey, you..."Shawn raised an eyebrow, his breath lingering by her ear. "Galey, you have to bear the consequences of your actions.""What did I do?""You should have known that the day I found out about Joshua, I would be angry."Gale, who had just struggled fiercely, went limp upon hearing this sentence."Indeed, it was my fault. Both Nicole and Joshua are your children. I shouldn't have kept one hidden. However, it's not entirely my fault! If you had given m

"It's okay, you're welcome to join." Gale had to resign herself and walked in. Why was Shawn here? She thought he was still resting in the master bedroom.Was this man never tired? Was his energy so abundant?"Mommy, Daddy said that from now on, you and him will take turns telling bedtime stories to me and Joshua. Today is Daddy's turn, and tomorrow is yours. Daddy will go to Joshua tomorrow," Nicole sweetly said."Daddy also said that this way, both Joshua and I can feel loved. Most importantly, it saves time, and you and Daddy can rest earlier!"It did save time. However, Gale did not want to save time! She could only maintain an awkward yet polite smile. After she arrived, Shawn's reading speed clearly increased.Ten minutes later, he closed the book, looked at the sleeping Nicole, and then turned his head to glance at Gale.That look was that of a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit."Gale, we should also rest." Shawn got up, turned off the light with one hand, a

"The sales of the Jewelry Department this quarter have shown steady and positive growth. Our designs have received numerous awards, and we are hopeful for good placings at the year-end awards ceremony.""Additionally, as Mr. Winter and Ms. Summer are still not back from their overseas assignment, so I'll be reporting on their behalf.""This year, our brand has risen to the top three, becoming a true national jewelry brand. We've acquired nearly ten jewelry brands of various sizes, continuously expanding and incorporating diverse design styles."Suddenly, Shawn raised a finger, lightly tapping the table. "I remember we acquired a third-tier small brand not long ago, a budget jewelry brand that emerged just this year, right?"Peach nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Wood. The brand is called Florei. It's now a featured series, focusing on students and affordable items. It's quite popular in the market given its affordability."Upon hearing Florei's name, Gale lowered her head guiltily. She

Others left quickly, afraid of being detained. Peach swallowed hard. "Mr. Wood, you are dissatisfied with my performance today...""I am very satisfied.""Huh? Then, why did you ask me to stay?" Peach was puzzled."It's about work." Shawn, at this moment, appeared extremely affable, lacking the imposing aura from earlier. "If Florei continues, it will inevitably eat into our profits. We need to find a solution."Peach racked her brains, suggesting, "Hire more designers? Maybe those who have just graduated. Their consumption habits and taste should better align with Florei's style.""No. Florei combines high-end design styles with affordable materials like silver and cubic zirconia. Although the materials are inexpensive, the styles are classic and enduring."Peach did not know what to do. Florei's style was somewhat similar to Gale's. However, Gale would not design for such an affordable brand.Gale was the chief designer of Lovito, after all!Peach could not help but glance at
