Shawn looked at Joshua. Joshua noticed his gaze and looked up to meet it.After that, Joshua made a face."Uncle Shawn, your house is so big! No wonder Nicole invited us over!" he said."That's right. Joshua, you can come here to play every day. You can even stay here!"Shawn narrowed his eyes, focusing on a word. "Us?""Exactly, look!" Joshua pointed at the door.Aurum walked in.There was also a woman beside Aurum.The woman had very rough clothes on. She looked very plain, and her hair was pulled back. Her face was filled with wrinkles, and she looked to be in her forties.She quietly stood beside Aurum, not saying anything.Shawn's eyes were fixed right on her, and his gaze did not move away at all.Very quickly, she looked toward Shawn as well.Shawn's eyes widened. Gale!That was clearly Gale!From afar, he had just thought she looked similar. She had been similar to Gale both in figure and bearing. The moment their gazes met, he was absolutely sure that it was Ga

"I…"Winnie could not explain why she suddenly tripped either.She felt like she stepped on something, but it felt like her legs gave way as well.She was just about to answer when she looked at Aurum and that woman. Then, she suddenly had an embarrassed look on her face. "Come on, Shawn. Shouldn't you know why I tripped? How could you ask me now?"Shawn raised an eyebrow. "You're blaming me?"She hit Shawn on the chest. "Yes, it's all your fault. You were just too fierce last night. You never stopped. My waist feels like it's about to break. That's why I was struggling to walk today…"Winnie was not that loud, but it was enough for everyone there to hear her.She was saying that on purpose.She wanted as many people to know as possible that she had successfully slept with Shawn!Aurum glanced at Gale.Gale looked down, and her hair obscured her face. No one could see her expression.Gale was probably feeling very sad at that moment.Otherwise, there was no way Gale would h

Winnie suddenly felt like something was wrong the more she looked at her.Why did something seem off with that old woman?Even though the woman's face was full of wrinkles, her hair was black and glossy, and the skin on her neck seemed very smooth.Her hands were pale and soft as well!It was not the body of an old lady!Winnie stared at her unblinkingly before she finally asked, "Who are you?""That's none of your business!"Winnie walked forward and reached out to claw at Gale's face. "Are you wearing a mask, or is this makeup? I'll pull it off…"Gale avoided Winnie.Shawn and Aurum both stepped forward at the same time when that happened.Aurum pushed Winnie away. "What are you doing?!"Winnie was forced back a few steps from the force of the push.Shawn walked over. He had planned on pulling the two of them apart and stopping Winnie from doing anything in the name of helping Winnie.He could not help Gale too obviously!However, when he saw Aurum pushing her away, he

That was something she wanted to do for Nicole as Nicole's mother.For the sake of Winnie's own goals, Winnie deliberately scared Nicole.So, Gale would do whatever she could to help Nicole recover!A mother was still a mother! She truly wanted the best for her child!Shawn pursed his lips slightly. "You want to stay here to take care of Nicole?"Gale nodded. "Yes. That's why I look like this right now. She won't recognize me and won't hate me. I assure you, I'll make sure Nicole will be able to rest well. I raised her myself, and I know how to take care of her."Furthermore, Nicole was recovering from a major illness. After coming out of the hospital, the servants would definitely not be as attentive as the nurses at the hospital. They were not as versed in medicine, so Gale was worried.Nicole needed to be taken care of in every way to prevent any future problems.Shawn did not accept or reject it. He looked at Winnie. "What do you think?"He was asking Winnie for her opinio

"Alright, alright, don't let your mood get affected by something like this." Winnie held Shawn's hand before she said, "Mr. Lefting, it's rare for you to be at Temperley Hall. Why don't you stay and eat with us? Since Nicole and Joshua haven't seen each other for a while, they'll probably take some time."How could Aurum be in the mood to eat?He wanted to leave that instant!However, he still needed to bring Joshua back, so he was forced to sit there.Gale would stay in Temperley Hall, and Peter would not be able to take care of Joshua alone, so Joshua would return home with him."I'm busy. I'll come back to get Joshua later," Aurum said.After that, he held Gale's hand and headed out.Gale was a bit hesitant, but Aurum seemed quite decisive, holding her hand and refusing to let go.There was nothing she could do but follow him.No one noticed Shawn narrowing his eyes slightly. His gaze was full of possessiveness as he stared at Aurum's hand, wanting to slice it off!Who gav
