Whenever he faced her, he would suppress all his hostility and temperament, revealing only his tenderness and thoughtfulness.

He looked quite intimidating now.

Gale swallowed hard. "When Joshua was held hostage, I told you you were his father. You didn't believe me. You thought it was a plot to trick Natalie into exchanging hostages."

"I didn't have time to explain. I didn't expect you to not believe me. There was no brilliant scheme, just plain facts," she continued.

She glanced at Shawn. He remained silent, his Adam's apple moving up and down.

"Now, you should believe me, right? Joshua is really your son. He's Nicole's older brother, born a few minutes earlier," mumbled Gale.

"Back then, I was carrying twins, Joshua and Nicole."

Shawn looked at her. As they made eye contact, Gale could not help but shiver. His incredibly sharp gaze made her feel uneasy no matter how many times she saw it. His aura was too powerful.

"So... you're Molly. Is that right?" Shawn's eyes deepened.
