She could claim whichever star she liked.She could even name whichever star she wanted at her own whim and fancy. She was carefree that way.In contrast, Joshua felt that he had to have a star with a name he chose. He wanted to possess it. Their perspectives highlighted the different mentalities of men and women. Men were naturally born with a desire to possess. "Fine, fine, do whatever you want. Anyway, if you don't want to, just don't come and cause trouble." Joshua shrugged.Nicole asked, "How am I causing trouble?" "Cut it out, I don't know what you have got up your sleeve yet. I won't be fooled by your innocent appearance," Joshua replied.Although Joshua seemed the loudest and most mischievous, Nicole did not trail far behind. Nicole appeared meek and gentle because no one had offended her. However, if someone did, she would not hesitate to show them how formidable she could be. Nicole grinned, "Joshua, I'm just curious about one thing." "Go ahead," he replied cool

Nevertheless, she tried. She tried to forget about that night, trying to believe that she was still innocent and pure."That's right. Are you hungry?" Shawn patted her head."Let's eat. It's already noon," Gale whispered."Let's have brunch together." He led her downstairs, gently and considerately, showing no impatience whatsoever. While she was eating porridge, he just watched her, making Gale feel embarrassed. "Why are you staring at me while I eat..." "You eat, I'll watch." Gale looked around. "It's fortunate that there's only the two of us in the dining room. If Joshua and Nicole were here, we'd be teased by them again." Suddenly, she remembered something. "I didn't get up this morning, they must have asked about it?" "Mm." "It's embarrassing. I used to be a diligent mommy, but now..." Gale sighed. "You've ruined it all."Every time she did not get up on time, it was Shawn's fault. Either he had exhausted her, or he had turned off her alarm clock. "You can make up

Shawn gulped. He could not believe it. He was feeling a bit nervous. His hands were trembling. Despite his repeated deep breaths to calm himself down, he could not suppress the nervousness in his heart. "Galey, I..." Shawn said, then swallowed hard, his voice choked with emotion. Never did he expect that one day, he would need the help of two children to propose."I know you're already my wife, and we'll be together for life, always by each other's side," Shawn squeezed the ring box, looking into her eyes. "But looking back on these years we've been through, I've never said my vows to you."If we have a wedding, then during the ceremony, we'll swear together, through poverty or wealth, through health or sickness, that we'll never leave each other, we'll love each other forever."Joshua made the ring, Nicole made the veil. They may not be luxurious, but they are things that money can't buy."Listening to him, Gale's eyes became moist. She blinked, but more tears fell. Shawn lowere

Shawn had already wrapped his arms around her waist and lowered his head to find her lips. "The kids are watching..." she reminded him softly."They'll close their eyes," he replied.With that, Shawn's lips met hers, drowning out her words. Nearby, Joshua covered Nicole's eyes. "No peeking!" he warned. Nicole also covered Joshua's eyes from behind. "No peeking for you either!" The siblings covered each other's eyes tightly.They were silent. At first, Joshua and Nicole stood still, not moving a muscle. As time passed, both of them became restless.Why had it not ended yet? How much longer will it take? Did Mommy and Daddy remember them? Since they were the ones who planned it, they could not rush them.Joshua and Nicole could not stand still anymore, and their hands could not cover their eyes anymore. Joshua leaned over and whispered in Nicole's ear, "I'll count to three, and we'll both put our hands down together, okay?""Okay."The siblings made a pact."Alright, three, t

Shawn raised an eyebrow. "Why are you so stubborn?""I just am. Come on, let me down!" Joshua stared at him.Shawn felt as a father, he should be more generous, more accommodating, and not be so petty with his son.So he said, "This wish will be kept for later. You can bring it up again in the future. I can put you on my shoulders."Joshua remained stubborn. "No, I want to use the wish."Even Gale was puzzled. "Joshua, what are you up to?""I'm not up to anything.""Isn't it better to save the wish? In case you want something else later, you can ask your dad to help you," Gale asked softly. Joshua pouted, looking awkward. After hesitating for several seconds, he muttered, "I feel like I already have a lot now. I'm content. I've got everything I want, so I don't really have any wishes. But if I had to say one..."Joshua looked up at Gale. "Mommy, I wish for you to be happy every day, forever. Don't be sad, don't get angry, don't feel down. Let all the beauty in the world surro
