Joe embraced Summer from behind as they admired the grand fireworks together, watching the countless confession messages flashing on the tall buildings. This was the surprise he had prepared for his beloved woman. Previously, Joe had always felt that such extravagant confessions were too flashy, and he even thought that he would not do such a tacky thing when he was no longer single. Now, he understood that anything done for the person you love brings joy. He did not care about others' opinions as long as she liked it.Summer turned her head to look at him. "I also strive to be an excellent girlfriend. Mr. Winter, this is my first time in love and as a girlfriend. Please excuse me and be gentle with me.""You do not need to do anything. Just stand there, I'll love you," Joe replied.Her heart instantly felt sweeter. She excluded sweetness."In fact, my answer has always been to accept you. I never thought of rejecting you. I've avoided you because of fear. I'm afraid to give my h

Gale took a deep breath, trying hard to appear normal and calm. "Let's go. Let's not disturb them.""Okay."Shawn glanced at the embracing figures, a hint of satisfaction flickering in his eyes. Joe and Summer were finally together. They had trusted fate and kept their determination. After so many years of being apart, they should cherish each other more.Shawn wrapped his arm around Gale's shoulder and left the rooftop, tidying up her tousled hair. Perhaps it was the deep bond between best friends or their telepathy, but Summer turned around and glanced back. She happened to see the elevator doors slowly closing. Gale also saw her and waved, saying something. They were too far apart for Summer to hear clearly, but she read Gale's lips. "Be happy."Summer nodded gently. "Shawn and Gale have left. Joe, how did you convince Gale to help you?" she said."Do I need to convince her? She volunteered to help me," Joe replied."She just wants me to be with you..."Joe answered, "Summer,

From now on, there will always be a star for them.Gale admired the small, beautiful celestial body. "The star..."Shawn was right behind her, his sturdy embrace enveloping her, wrapping her in happiness. "Do you like it?" Gale nodded. "Yes, I really like it. It's the most special gift I've ever received.""That's not necessarily true.""Huh?" She blinked, puzzled, looking at him.Shawn flicked her nose. "We still have many years ahead. In the future, I'll give you many, many more gifts. Galey, what makes you think this is the most special gift you'll ever receive?"She smiled, her eyes sparkling. "Shawn, what else will you give me?""Whatever I can think of, whatever you want, whatever I have, I'll give it to you."Gale reached out, delicately grabbing his clothing. "You've given me the stars, what gift could surpass that?""There are more. Just wait for your gifts. One gift every year," Shawn said."Birthday gifts?"He raised an eyebrow. "Do I have to wait for your birth

"Um..."Gale opened her mouth but found herself unable to give an accurate answer.Yes, how long would it take? A month? Three months? Six months or even longer? Could Shawn endure such a long time?"You see, Gale, you don't even know." Shawn sighed. "I don't have to rush you. I can give you time to slowly emerge from the shadow of the past. But you must understand, we are forever husband and wife, forever able to do the most intimate things without reservation.""I'm sorry..." She tried to apologize again, but her words felt weak as they reached her lips.Sorry was truly the most useless phrase in the world."Shawn, don't push me, don't..." Gale shook her head, still holding onto his neck. "I know you want me to move on quickly, but I can't do it. I also want to go back to how things were before, but can we really go back?"He answered firmly, "We can."She looked into his eyes.Her reflection was mirrored in Shawn's pupils."Thank you, Shawn. You've always been on my side,

When he went down, his two kids had already finished their breakfast and were dressed for school.As soon as they saw him, Joshua ran over. "Shawn! Do you remember what you promised me?"His face was full of anticipation.Shawn looked at him. "I remember.""That's good, that's good." Joshua breathed a sigh of relief. After all, we both had the same surname. You can't break your promise to me, right?"He had been dreaming about his star! For the sake of a star, he could even accept a name change. If anyone still called him Joshua Warm, he would definitely correct them loudly, "My name is Joshua Wood!"It absolutely could not be wrong, especially not in front of Shawn.Nicole interjected, "But Joshua, the reason you have to have dad's surname is because you lost to me in rock-paper-scissors."Joshua's face dropped. After hesitating for a moment, he coughed. "When boys talk, girls don't interrupt."Nicole was not afraid of him at all, immediately turning to Shawn. "Daddy, look, J
