Chapter 751
“Shawn, I made things very clear in front of your grandfather just now.”
“I’ve never really given you any gifts. This is my…”
Gale interrupted him, “Shawn, everything you give is just too valuable. I wouldn’t dare to accept them.”
That crown, the Heart of the Deep Sea, felt like it burnt her to touch it back then.
Yet, he wanted her to accept those shares.
Gale sighed. “I’ve never wanted these things. Forget it.”
She put the contract gently on the table.
Shawn stood in place.
“Galey, I’ve been thinking for the past few days, wondering what I need to do to earn a true smile on your face. I
want to give you everything I have, I don’t even need anything for myself, but you don’t care about that. You don’t
even spare it another glance. What do you want? Freedom? I’ve already given that to you. I told you I would let you
leave with Nicole, and I’ll make sure it’s done. I won’t stop you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGale met his gaze.
His eyes were so deep and dark.
“Shawn, it might be impossible to give me what I want.”
What Gale wanted, ever since the beginning, was just sincerity. She just wanted a normal and long- lasting
romance.
She did not need that awesome power or riches beyond comparison.
She just wanted to be with someone loyally and never leave that person’s side.
Yet, her marriage with Shawn had left her with too many scars. It was already impossible for her to love someone
wholeheartedly.
The room went quiet.
Nicole looked at her father, then looked at Gale.
She pulled at Gale’s hand. “My tummy is hungry. Mommy, I want food.”
Gale composed herself. “Alright, what do you want to eat? I’ll go cook for you.”
“I’ll eat anything you want!” Nicole did not forget to add. “Make sure to make some for Daddy.”
“You…”
Nicole was worried that Shawn would not have anything to eat.
She turned to walk into the kitchen, and Shawn followed. “I’ll help you.”
“You should focus on your work,” Gale rejected him.
Shawn sat on the sofa with his document on his lap and a pen in hand.
As he read the document, he kept on glances to the kitchen.
Nicole stayed by his side quietly, like a cat.
“Daddy, you’re not focusing on work. Even your words are sla**ed.” Nicole criticized.
“It’s because I can’t focus when she’s around.”
Nicole said, “Mommy will still be here. She won’t run away.”
“She’s here, but…” Her heart was not.
Shawn had no way to make her stay, nor did he know how to.
“But, what?” Nicole looked at him curiously.
Shawn patted her on the head. “It’s nothing. Nicole, what do you want to work for when you grow up?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole answered, “Oh, I don’t know yet.”
She was just in kindergarten. Her future career really was still a long time away.
Shawn asked, “Do you want to be a boss?”
“Boss?” Nicole’s eyes were wide and childlike. “Are you talking about those bosses who are very powerful and take
care of a lot of people?”
“Yes, you’ll have a few thousand employees under you all over the country that will listen to everything you say.”
“Yes!” Nicole hurriedly nodded. “That sounds amazing! I want to be the boss of a few thousand people! Daddy, I’ll
definitely work hard and study!”
“You have a chance to become a boss right now.”
“Really?”
Shawn nodded assuredly. “Of course, it’s real.”
He was slowly persuading Nicole to fall into his ‘trap’.
“Look, this is a document,” Shawn pointed at where the signature needed to be. “Nicole, as long as you write your
name here and put down your thumbprint, you can be a big boss when you grow up.
