"What are you two busy with? You didn't come home last night, and you missed breakfast.""We had work matters. They're almost sorted out, and I won't be working late tonight," Shawn replied.Joshua grinned at him. "Hey, Shawn, do you have more free time coming up?"He was trying to gauge if he could go to the space center.Shawn saw through him."Not really. Why? What's up?" Shawn replied vaguely."I... I..." At this moment, Joshua stuttered, feeling too embarrassed to speak directly!"Hmm?" Joshua said, "If you're free this weekend, could you... take me, and Nicole, and Mommy on a trip?""It's a good suggestion. We can arrange something, like a countryside trip or a beach vacation." Shawn nodded."No, no, those are boring. Besides, we can go to those places anytime!" "Oh? Then where do you want to go?" Just as Joshua was about to answer, Shawn turned to Nicole and asked, "Nicole, do you want to go to the beach? We can catch some crabs, walk on the sand, watch the sunris

With such wonderful children like Joshua and Nicole, why would Shawn even consider having another one? Did he and Nicole not do well enough? That was when Shawn finally understood Joshua. He was getting old; he did not understand how kids these days communicate.Shawn replied, "I am just asking for your thoughts and opinions. Didn't you say that everyone should have a say when we have a decision to make?""Yeah, so are we voting now?""No, just casually asking."Under usual circumstances, Joshua would have spoken back by now. However, things are different now. He needed Shawn's help, so he was willing to play ball with Shawn."As long as you and Mom are happy, I support you. Having another one would be great. I hope it's a little brother so I can be a big brother!" Joshua said."So, you would only be in favor of it just because you want to be a big brother?""No, no, I support you unconditionally." Joshua grinned at him. "Shawn, when are we leaving for the space center? Can we

"Yeah! I came to the company this morning and just happened to have some business in the PR department. Then I stumbled upon... Gale, let me tell you, this thing is being tightly kept under wraps. Very few people know about it. If you go and confront Shawn, he might not even admit it." Summer became increasingly infuriated. "I can't believe it! Yesterday, I earnestly advised him to treat you well and not to have wandering eyes. But, just overnight, he... Wait a minute!"This happened last night, which means before he came to the restaurant to pick you up, he... he was with Ivy!"Argh! What kind of scoundrel is he!" Gale's mind was buzzing. However, she was still calm, in contrast to Summer."I understand, Summer. Thank you for telling me about this right away. I need to think about how to handle this.""Do you still need to think? The photos are right there. Divorce him! The only way you can forgive him is if the photos are fake and someone photoshopped them. Otherwise, he's ch

The jacket had slipped down to Ivy's waist, revealing the tight off-shoulder top she wore underneath, accentuating her perfect figure with graceful curves. She and Shawn were so intimate. No one but Gale should have been able to lean on Shawn's chest. No one but Gale should have been able to wear his jacket. What was going on? How did Ivy manage to get both?Gale examined each photo carefully. She thought she could stay calm while looking at them. Halfway through, she could not bear it anymore. Her hand trembled, and the photos slipped from her grasp with a clatter."Gale!" Shawn looked at her nervously.Gale took a deep breath. "I think you can explain now. Shawn, are the photos fake? Are they photoshopped? Or are they real?""The photos are real."Her body swayed.Shawn admitted it. Well, of course. How could his jacket be draped over Ivy's shoulders? The photoshop technology had not reached that level of detail. Ivy was also nestled in Shawn's embrace!"Last night, you went t

Now, she had calmed down, and her rational side returned. Shawn made sense. He could have done something with Ivy without leaving a trace if he truly wanted something with Ivy. How could the paparazzi have captured it and sent it to the company? It indicated he had no intention and did not even think twice about last night's actions with Ivy. He saw it as straightforward and not controversial. Little did he know that it was caught on camera, blown out of proportion, probably for a hefty hush fee. After all, if these photos were leaked, it would tarnish Shawn's image and the reputation of the Wood Group.However, Gale could not help but feel possessive! Why is it alright for Shawn to have strong possessiveness towards her but not the other way around? He's her husband! If Ivy was about to fall, he could have helped for safety reasons. Gale could understand that. However, offering his coat was going the extra mile. When did Shawn become so considerate? This sort of thing might be no
