Joshua looked at her disdainfully. "You have to fight back a little." "Let's not fight this battle. There will be plenty of opportunities and time in the future. Let's talk about my status after this ordeal is over!" Honestly, she was in the wrong, and it was better to humble herself this time. Joshua sighed. "Well, I had hoped that you and Uncle Aurum could be together... um!" He was muffled again. Gale listened in shock and terror, her soul almost escaping her body. "My dear son, you must never say such things again, especially not in front of your dad!" Her mistake was not just hiding Joshua's identity; She also lied about loving Aurum. This was something she needed to explain to Shawn as well. She said that out of anger and lied just to get a divorce. "Uncle Aurum and I are not going to be together. Don't make up stories. I'm still married to your dad," Gale said.Joshua pulled down her hand and said, "Are you saying that I can only set you up with Uncle Aurum if you

Four years ago, Pearton was assigned to be Gale's bodyguard, a job none of the bodyguards wanted to do. It was a thankless task, prone to trouble, and everyone avoided it. However, Pearton took on the role and served her wholeheartedly. Gale, in turn, used all her power to send him away before she jumped into the sea, hoping he would not face punishment because of her.Four years later, Pearton reappeared and saved her son. If Gale had not protected Pearton when she faked her death and left him behind...Yesterday, Pearton might not have stepped forward to save her son."He'll get better. When I get better, I want to be his apprentice and learn how to fight from him! That way, I can better protect you!" Joshua said.Gale sighed. "Joshua, I hope when you're protecting me, you prioritize your own safety first. Don't sacrifice yourself to protect me, do you understand? If something happens to you, your Daddy, Nicole, and I will be devastated. Have you thought about that?""Before sav

Gale could not help but sit back down and watch the two. What exactly were they going to do?"Eat. Open your mouth," Shawn said."I can eat by myself." Shawn glanced at the IV drip connected to the back of his hand. "Are you sure you can eat by yourself?" "I'll wait for Big Beauty... uh, wait for Mommy to finish eating, then she can feed me," Joshua said.Shawn raised an eyebrow slightly. "Mommy?""Yeah. She's my mommy. What's the problem with that?""You used to call her Big Beauty, right?""I... I..."Gale frantically signaled to Joshua!Joshua, being clever, immediately said, "I can call her whatever I want. If I feel like calling her Big Beauty or Mommy, I will!"Shawn responded lightly, "This is the first time I've heard you call her that.""That means you haven't seen us enough. I definitely call her Mommy more than Big Beauty. The times I call her Big Beauty are fewer."Joshua had inherited Shawn's natural talent for lying. Shawn gave a faint snort. "You used

Gale pondered over Shawn's usual attitude toward Joshua and suddenly felt a chill. They never quite got along. Could their relationship improve just because they were related? Considering Joshua's mischievous nature, she sometimes could not resist disciplining him, let alone Shawn.Joshua's eyes darted around. "When I was living with the Lefting family, I overheard the servants gossiping. They said the Wood family is the wealthiest family in the entire Sea City. The combined wealth of the Lefting and Yarn families doesn't even compare to half of the Wood family's fortune. Daddy, is that true?""It's true." He was really wealthy; there was no need to hide it. Besides, he saw no reason to hide the family's wealth from his children. Every parent wants to provide the best for their children."Then, as your son, can I inherit your position and wealth in the future?" asked Joshua."Yes," replied Shawn.Joshua's eyes lit up. "How many billion is it worth? Daddy, I think you're a bit

Joshua became more and more agitated as he spoke. "Mommy, didn't you notice? I was confused at the time. Although I and Shawn weren't on the same page, I had a good relationship with Nicole. I wouldn't even harm Nicole, so why was he always on guard against me?"Gale coughed. "Well..." How should she explain that? Even Shawn cleared his throat awkwardly. At that time, he did not know Nicole and Joshua were siblings. He thought Joshua was a smooth-talking playboy trying to win Nicole's heart. As a protective father, he had to ensure his precious daughter's safety. He could not let Joshua deceive Nicole at such a young age! So, Shawn disapproved of Joshua.Unexpectedly, they were siblings. They had grown up together, as familiar as can be. It turned out Shawn, in his busybody nature, had worried for nothing. In his defense, he had no idea Joshua was Nicole's real brother."Shawn, tell me. Even if you didn't know I was your son, Nicole and I were classmates. Why shouldn't I be al
