She skillfully fried eggs, sizzled ham, toasted bread, made porridge and buns. Although it had been a while since she last did it, she still could."Gale, your cooking skills haven't deteriorated at all," Zoe chimed in. She helped her out, saying, "Joshua and Nicole will be delighted when they see this.""I rarely have time to cook nowadays. Zoe, pass me the premade filling," she replied.They worked together seamlessly, having been partners for several years. So, this meal was prepared smoothly and quickly.Upstairs, Shawn woke up to find the room empty. After dressing up, he left the bedroom as Joshua swiftly ran past him at the doorway."Take it slow. Aren't you going to wake Nicole up?" he advised."She's still getting ready. I can't wait, I need to go down first. It smells so good, I'm starving."After running a few steps, Joshua remembered something, turned back with a grin, and said, "You're hungry too, Shawn. Come on, let's have breakfast together."He was still trying

"Give it a try, there's still a chance. If you don't try, you'll just have to watch him end up with another girl.""I..."Gale cheered her on, "Sam is still single to this day. It means he hasn't found someone he likes among the girls around him. I'm just a passing acquaintance; I won't be his future.""But, Peach, you could very well be his future. He doesn't dislike you, and even finds you cute. Your chances are high!""Take more initiative. It's not just the guys who can make the first move."Peach still felt insecure. "Can I really do it?""I say you can, so you can! I know Sam's preferences, personality, triggers, and boundaries very well. I can assist you like no other girl can."Peach smiled. "Gale, you're really kind."Watching her fall in love, Gale could not help but sigh in her heart. Young love was always so refreshing!"Because I genuinely feel that you two are a good match.""But, a few days ago, you said I matched well with Fiona…"Well, that was obviously a j

"I haven't seen Summer for over a month. It must be tough for her to be away for so long. I want to spend some time with her.""I can't do anything about Ivy Park's situation even if I go. I can only sit next to you like a mascot.""Of course, of course, I know you want me to be with you. I want to be with you too.""But we have a long future ahead, plenty of time in the future. She's only back this one time, and she won't be away on a business trip for so long again.""You'll understand, won't you? You're the best."After a long pause, Shawn finally responded, "I think that set of pajamas from last night, in pink, would look quite nice. Gale, what do you think?"Gale instantly understood what he meant.He wanted her to wear pink next. This man really knew how to take advantage of the situation.Gale could only reply with clenched teeth, "Yes, red is alluring, and pink is tender! Both are suitable!"This time, Shawn replied promptly, "Come back early, don't drink."Ah, men!

Unexpectedly, Shawn did not answer his call."Darn, do I have to spend my first night back in the country all alone?" Joe muttered.The car sped along the airport expressway. Summer kept looking back."What are you doing? Can't bear to part with Joe?" Gale asked."Definitely not!""Then why do you keep looking back?"Summer replied, "I'm afraid Joe will take a taxi, follow us, tail us all the way to the steak restaurant, then sit down and start eating like nothing happened!""Isn't that a bit much?"Gale thought Joe would not do something like that, right?"He's capable of anything. Gale, you still don't know him well enough. He's quite audacious, capable of anything!" Summer said.She needed to be cautious because Joe might actually do this.Unable to resist, Gale looked back. "So, did he take a taxi?""No, he's still standing in the same place." Summer sighed in relief. "After spending everyday together, seeing each other all the time, I need to be apart from him for a wh

All these changes were because of Shawn.One person could have such a significant influence—every gesture and every move exuded charisma and authority. Everyone sitting there looked serious. They saw Shawn and Ivy whispering to each other, exchanging a knowing look. They seemed to look at each other in mutual understanding.Having a roving eye was quite normal for men, especially one as powerful and handsome as Shawn. How could someone like him possibly be exclusively devoted to Mrs. Wood? Previously, everyone speculated about the type of woman Mr. Wood liked, who could capture his attention. Now, the answer was clear. It was Ivy!Upon closer examination, Ivy and Mrs. Wood had quite a few similarities, whether in temperament or appearance. They were not helpless and delicate but opinionated and strong. It seemed Mr. Wood had a preference.In the future, anyone wanting to please or win over Mr. Wood should seek out elegant and charismatic beauties and send them his way. Catering to
