"Of course.""Really?""You want to sign Ivy, but you want to sign a personal contract with her, not with her agency," Shawn said."Yes!" Gale nodded repeatedly. "My husband, you understand me!"Shawn raised an eyebrow. If she was calling him 'husband' so easily, she must be wanting something.Gale hooked her arm around his. "I know you have a way. You're amazing; there's nothing you can't do in Sea City!"Shawn leaned back. "Gale, are you trying to help Ivy terminate her contract, but have you asked if she's willing?""It sounds like she only signed with the agency out of helplessness. If she could terminate the contract, she would be willing to do it.""The penalty for termination must be high. Do you understand?" Shawn said. "That's why I came to you."The penalty must be astronomical, a figure that Ivy could not afford. No one else would be willing to pay that amount to poach her. She would have to fulfill the contract until it expired. However, Gale believed Shawn had a

Gale could not come up with an answer. Seeing that her usual playful tactics were not working, she decided to be straightforward. "Shawn, we're a married couple. I've laid out my thoughts. Are you really going to stand by and do nothing?"He raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to threaten me?""Anyway, I just want to sign Ivy.""You can sign an endorsement contract with her anytime. As for her and the agency, Gale, you're getting too involved," Shawn replied."You don't understand. Women help women, Ivy will surely become a shining international superstar. Her current agency favors Lulu over her. They lack vision, it will hinder her career."Shawn pressed his temples. His wife always found something for him to do when he did not need to. For him, achieving it was easy, but he felt it was unnecessary. He was not as kind-hearted and charitable as Gale, and it had no benefit or harm for him. Why bother?However, he could not resist Gale's constant nagging in his ears."Just lift a

"You don't even wear these!"With a forceful tug, Joshua snatched the shoes from Gale's hands. Victory was his! Like a triumphant general, he proudly and smugly placed the slippers at Shawn's feet."Shawn, please wear your shoes."Gale stood nearby, pursing her lips. Shawn remained calm and composed, looking like he deserved this treatment. The housekeeper on the side was already petrified. He was at a loss. Fetching slippers for the master should be his job, right? He had been doing it for decades. Ever since Joshua returned to Temperley Hall, he was put out of a job. The housekeeper was fine with that, enjoying the harmonious father-son dynamic between Mr. Wood and Joshua. However, what was Gale doing? Two of them were fighting to serve Shawn!Shawn stepped into the living room, sat on the sofa, and reached for a glass of water. Gale, quick on her feet, immediately poured him a glass. "Here."A faint twitch appeared at the corner of Shawn's mouth. He had a hard time holding

Without Gale competing against him, Joshua could confidently attend to Shawn. Pouring tea and water were minor tasks. As soon as Shawn becks, Joshua would immediately be at his call.Gale murmured, "Nicole was right; you do seem like a servant. If we were in ancient times, you'd at least be in charge of his harem!"Upon hearing this, Joshua shot her a disdainful look. The family of four sat on the sofa, watching TV. The servants stayed outside, not disturbing the harmonious and warm leisure time. Gale thought it would be more remarkable if she were not burdened with concerns. Unfortunately, while pondering Ivy's matters, she also had to think about her evening later.That was her chance to please Shawn! Moreover, she could not tell anyone about this or ask for advice. It was too personal.At ten o'clock, Gale left Nicole's room and returned to the master bedroom. Shawn sat halfway on the bed, wearing his glasses and holding a book. "Have they gone to sleep?""Yes, before bedtime

Her mind raced as she searched. "Where is it? I didn't see it. Wait a moment."Shawn remained calm. "It's right where I said, no mistake. If you can't find it, it's okay. I'll come and help you personally.""No need! I found it!""Then, put it on and give it a try."Gale froze. Put it on? She had to wear it? What could it possibly cover? How did Shawn develop such a taste?Seeing she was silent as a mouse in the closet, Shawn's lips were twisted into a faint smile. He knew exactly what mood she must be in now. That was okay; Gale was naturally shy, and it would take her a bit to accept this. He would give her some time.After a few minutes, Shawn deliberately asked, "Changed already? Or do you not know how to put it on? Do you want me to help you?"Gale still did not answer."When I bought it, the salesperson showed me how to wear it," Shawn said.She was even more dumbfounded. Shawn not only bought it but also learned how to put it on. How shameless was he!Wait a minute, Sh
