Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 114
Shawn gave Gale a deep glance, her face indifferent and cold.Joe said, "Let's start. The acquisition case has already been discussed, and the Carson Group has no ability to resist. The theme of our meeting today is to discuss how to manage Fantastic Jewels and integrate it post-merger into Lovito. How can we learn its advantages?" The meeting did not end until almost midnight.Everyone was exhausted.Shawn said to speed up, and the whole company had to work overtime to catch up."Gale, are you alright?" Summer asked softly when the meeting was over. "You are pregnant, and it's not good to stay up late.""It's okay, I slept enough when I was in the hospital, and my energy is unlimited.""Don't put on a strong front. It's okay to come late tomorrow." Summer lowered his voice secretly. "I'll punch you in."Gale also replied in a low voice, "You forgot I have to take Shawn's car to the company?"Summer pouted and left.Gale got ready to get up, and Shawn's eyes swept over.Altho

She just walked out of the company but saw Sam standing on the side of the road.Gale was taken aback. Why is he here?She turned back and saw Shawn again.He walked to her side. "So afraid that I will find him?""I... just wanted to see if you are following me."Shawn snorted coldly, raised his hand to wrap around her waist, and walked straight to Sam.Gale wanted to struggle, but he tightened his grip, making her almost breathless.Sam stood there quietly.There are still wounds on his face, all of which were from getting beaten by Shawn."What are you doing here?" Shawn said lightly, "Come to surrender?"Sam first looked at Gale and then at Shawn's hand on her waist.After a long while, he said, "I know that you will definitely acquire Fantastic Jewels to run me out of my own company.""Good."Sam's face was haggard.However, he just smiled peacefully, without any sense of crisis.This made Shawn very unhappy.Sam should beg him."Shawn, you just got rid of me. Not

She also nodded vigorously. "After leaving the Carson Group...where will you go?""I will go abroad and relax.""Okay."Sam slowly walked away, turning his back. He seemed to be leaving.However, he suddenly turned around and reached out to take Gale into his arms.Gale was stunned.She heard Sam speak quickly in her ear, "I'll go abroad to help you find out the truth. Wait for me." He was pushed away as soon as he finished.Gale stood there in a daze."Looking for death?" Shawn's eyes were as deep as cold knives. "You dare hug my woman in front of me?"Sam staggered a few steps and shrugged. "It's just parting hugs. Why are you so nervous.""No man touches her!""If you are so confident, why are you scared if she hugs me for a long time? To put it bluntly, Shawn, you are not confident.""Go away!"Seeing this, Gale held Shawn back from hitting Sam.She heard it.Just now, Sam was deliberately risking his life to pass the message to her.Going abroad to find the truth..

As if that's not enough, she stepped on him again.After completing this set of actions, Summer felt very relieved."You ruthless woman..." Joe covered his stomach and touched his feet again. "You really hit me!""This is called ruthless? Joe, I think you are used to being around gentle women."Joe replied, "Wow, any street woman is gentler than you!""I'm just like this!""If you don't change your temper, you won't be able to find..."Summer refuted, "People in love with me will naturally like everything about me! Do you think all men in the world are as scumbags as you and Shawn!"After that, Summer jumped into the car and stepped on the accelerator to speed off, leaving a trail of dust on his face."Bah bah bah!" Joe spat several times and said to himself, "Summer, I would like to see who would marry you in the future!" After a few seconds, he added, "Which man is blind? Who dares to marry you!"...In Temperley Hall.Although it was early in the morning, the lights in t

"Ah?""Shh." Shawn gave her a deep glance. "He's still outside."Gale immediately lowered her voice, "Why is Grandpa's spy still there? I thought Grandpa knew I was pregnant with your child."He did not say anything and let out a low laugh.Gale stood up straight, not knowing what to do.After a long while, Shawn said, "I'm going to act.""Ah?""Since grandpa wants him to listen, we will satisfy him," Shawn said.Gale froze slightly. Mouth and cheeks flushed.This old man is really… something!She bit her lip. "This... how to do this? You must not touch me for real!"Gale's face turned a little red again.She would never agree!Gale subconsciously took a few steps back."I'm not interested in pregnant women." Shawn lowered his face coldly. "Stop being selfish."Only then did Gale feel relieved."I'm talking about acting." He raised his eyebrows. "Aren't you always bragging in front of Susan? You said that your acting skills can completely beat her.""Yes! I'm better th

"It's nothing." She shook her head and folded the wet quilt to cover it. "Go to sleep."He got up and glanced at it. "Come up.""Ah?" Gale refused, "No, I can still sleep.""I don't like saying things more than once."Under his pressure, Gale had to climb into bed silently.She tried her best to sleep at the corner of the bed, far away from Shawn."What are you doing there?" His face was a little ugly again. "Do you want to fall?""No, I... I'm small and don't take up much space," Gale said and then moved to the side.Shawn turned off the light.In the dark, on the big bed, they were as far as they could be.Well, it was better than one being on the bed and on the floor.Gale slept terribly that night.So as soon as the day dawned, she got up immediately. Sleeping for another second was torment!Seeing her getting up so early, the housekeeper was a little surprised. "Madam, it's... It's only just past six o'clock.""Well, I know, going to bed early and getting up early

Gale laughed. "Yeah. I think you are a mother, and you understand."She deliberately mentioned Paula's son, who never showed up."I married into the Wood family officially, and I was already of noble birth!" Paula's face was full of arrogance. "How can you compare me to you!"Gale nodded. "Well, only if you marry into the Wood family can you give birth to a son that has the blood of the Wood family."Paula was about to retort back, but Lucas waved his hand. "Forget it. Let's not mention that evil boy."Paula was a little anxious. "Lucas, we admire...""Okay, I'm happy today, don't talk about those things that affect my mood."Paula reluctantly shut her mouth.Gale saw this.It seems... Lucas does not welcome Paula's son.The current Wood Group was firmly in the hands of Shawn.From this point of view, Paula and her son's position were only on paper and were not favored.They can only receive living expenses but not the full benefits, so it should be quite uncomfortable.Th

Toy cars, cradles, cribs, toys, dolls, lego blocks, diapers…If it were not for the size of the car, Lucas would have bought out the entire childcare shop over!"I only bought these for the time being. The children's room can be set up. Well, I couldn't buy more because I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. So, for now, I bought these," said Lucas.Looking at the beautiful little dresses and expensive toys, Gale felt a strange feeling in her heart.If the child in her womb were indeed Shawn's...that would be great.However, this thought existed in Gale's mind for just a few seconds.She felt the pressure of Shawn next to her, which emanated a terrifying vibe.Gale quietly glanced sideways at his expression.Shawn's brows furrowed high. "No need, Grandpa." The servants carrying them suddenly stopped."Why don't you keep it? You'll have to buy it sooner or later. I'm not doing anything anyway, so I will sort it out for you," Lucas said.He leaned on crutches and went to supervi

Summer didn't know, but the more she said that, the more unsettled Gale felt inside. Everyone was telling her that Shawn wasn't that busy, didn't need to work overtime, let alone stay in the office until late at night. So, what was he doing that night? Did he have some secret that she couldn't know?Just as she was pondering this, several exclamations suddenly rang out in the office. "Wow! Look at this!" "Oh my god!" "This is so explosive!" "The hype is skyrocketing!"Several colleagues were glued to their computer screens, their faces full of gossip and excitement. Gale was puzzled and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"Summer immediately picked up her phone. "Let me see... Oh my god!"Gale grew even more curious. What on earth had happened? She hurried over and stared at Summer's phone screen.News stories flashed one after another, relentlessly. Gale quickly caught the most crucial information: "Ivy announced her withdrawal from her latest film, leaving the female

She wondered what Shawn was doing that night, that he came home only at dawn. Where did he go? Was he lying?Just a moment ago, Gale merely felt something was off, but now, she was overwhelmed with a strong sense of panic. Joshua's words about how women flocked to Shawn and how men would not be suddenly busy, suddenly flooded her mind.Even though Gale tried hard to tell herself not to overthink things, that it was impossible, and that Shawn deserved her full trust, she was having a hard time controlling herself!“Gale?" Summer called her several times. “What are you thinking about? You seem so distracted.”“Nothing,” she shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’m getting ready to work on the design. I really can’t delay any further.”She wasn’t in the mood to joke around with Joe and Summer anymore, so she turned and sat down in front of her computer. Her mind was completely blank. What on earth was Shawn doing that night when he came home so late? Clearly, there wasn’t any urgent matter

Summer chuckled, "Look at you, anyone who doesn't know might think I bully you just because my position is higher than yours. Gale, come on, show some authority. I heard from Joe that Shawn has all the shares...""Shh!" Gale quickly covered her mouth. This was a sensitive matter; it wouldn't do to discuss it casually. If someone with ill intentions overheard, it could lead to unnecessary trouble."Okay, okay, I won't say anything," Summer understood her meaning. "Let's talk about work then? Oh great designer, where's your design draft? It was due last week! You've been delaying for quite some time!"Gale looked embarrassed. "I... I haven't finished it yet...""Show me the draft.""I haven't even started the preliminary draft...""What?!" Summer looked shocked. "Gale, how did you become so lax?""There's so much going on, taking care of two children, and Shawn..." Gale's voice trailed off.At this moment, Joe suddenly appeared from nowhere. "Is Shawn clinging to you, or are you

“Sorry, Gale, I'll be more careful next time.” He hugged her, lightly brushing her forehead with his chin.Gale wondered if she was overthinking things. It was just normal work busyness that made Shawn come home a bit late, and she hadn't really minded or dwelled on it. But, it seemed this issue kept resurfacing in her mind.Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt lighter."Ah..." Gale exclaimed, "Shawn!"He scooped her up horizontally and headed upstairs in large strides. It was another night of intense entanglement. Gale was tired and sleepy. Her eyes were barely open, but just before drifting off to sleep, she managed to say, "I have to go to work tomorrow, on time... no more skipping.""Okay."With Shawn's response, she immediately fell into a deep sleep.She left everything else to him… She was going to fall apart! She didn't know what was going on with Shawn, these past two nights have been endless. Before, he might ask for too much, but he would care about her physica

The trip back home was serene and filled with warmth for Gale. Shawn in contrast, felt tumultuous. By the time they arrived home, the two little ones were already fast asleep in the back seat, slumped over in different directions."Just a moment ago they were chattering non-stop, now they're all curled up asleep," Gale chuckled. "No matter how clever they are, they're still just kids."They were her little darlings. She opened the back door and gently lifted Nicole out. For some reason, when she lifted Nicole, she felt a bit unsteady and swayed."Careful," Shawn noticed and reached out, pulling her and their daughter into his embrace.Gale leaned securely against him. "With you here, how could I fall?""No worries, maybe Nicole's just gotten heavier as she's grown. I'm having trouble carrying her now," Gale said."Let me."She tilted her chin. "You take Joshua. I can manage for this short walk, really.""I can handle both," Shawn replied."Yeah, yeah, I know you're strong."S

"Alright, alright," Joshua shrugged and said, "Old man, you do your thing. Actually, I hope you could be a bit busier.""You want me to be busier?""Yeah, just a bit busier than now. Not too much, just a moderate increase," Joshua gestured, "You're always so leisurely, it makes me uneasy, Shawn!"Shawn asked, "What makes you uneasy?""Your business. I'll have to inherit it in the future! If you continue being so idle and not managing the company well, when I take over, I'll be swamped! Shawn, can't you think about your son?"So that was Joshua's concern. He feared Shawn wouldn’t manage the company well and it would burden him in the future.Gale sighed repeatedly, "How did I end up with such... "She couldn't find the right words.Smart?Mischievous?Shawn replied calmly, "Joshua, do you now realize you're my son? I should consider you? Then let me ask you, what do you want to call me?""Daddy."Joshua smoothly said.Both Shawn and Gale were somewhat surprised.He actuall

"Joshua!" Gale turned around to look at him. "What's been going on in that little head of yours day after day?"Joshua replied seriously, "I'm thinking about you, Mommy. Shawn leaves work on time every day, never stays late. Suddenly he's busy until midnight. Don't you think that's a bit strange?"As he said this, Gale felt something wasn't quite right. But she trusted Shawn enough. The company was big, with lots of business, so the occasional unexpected situation was normal. Even if she pushed the thought further, what would Shawn do? Would he be seeing other women? Gale wasn't concerned at all because Shawn wouldn't give any woman a chance! He loved only her and she was confident that she held the only place in his heart."Alright, I think you've been watching too many dramas lately," Gale said. "Joshua, from now on, you need to cut down on your TV drama time!""No! I refuse!""Joshua, your protest is futile!"Joshua was getting frustrated; he really wanted to watch TV.After

Joshua reluctantly said goodbye to Ivy, "Bye-bye, Ivy. I'll come over again when I have time. You can come to my house too! Love you! Mwah mwah!"He kept blowing kisses."Shawn," Gale looked at him, "Does your son know no shame?""I'm starting to suspect he might have a genetic mutation."Both Shawn and Gale were quite reserved by nature, especially in expressing their feelings. They loved subtly and rarely voiced it openly. But Joshua was different. He worked his charm on everyone from the old Lucas down to babies. He could make anyone happy if he wanted to!The car moved along the road.Gale asked, "What do you think about Ivy's condition today?""What do I think?""Yes.""I didn’t observe closely," Shawn replied. "Why?"Gale couldn't help but laugh, "I allow you to look and give your opinion. It's fine. You don’t have to create your distance so strictly.""She's better than last time," Shawn said. "Beyond that, I don’t know."Even if he knew, he couldn't say.Gale reac

Ivy stared at Gale, her eyes bright and clear.“Gale, if I hold the truth in my hands, would you want me to reveal it?”Gale nodded firmly. “Yes!”“Do you want to know the whole truth?”“I do!”Ivy blinked, then suddenly smiled. “Okay, okay, Gale, I know what to do now.”“Can you tell me now?”“Not yet.”“Why?” Gale asked. “Have you been threatened?”She grew tense all of a sudden.Ivy shook her head. “No. It’s just too complicated to explain in a few words. But with your support, I suddenly feel stronger and know what I need to do!”Even if President Wood tried to stop her, she would expose it. She would vent her anger, punish Paul, tear off Aurum’s hypocritical mask, let Gale know Aurum's ugliness... Ivy decided to act on her own. She resolved silently.Smells of food wafted from the kitchen.“Dinner’s ready,” Ivy smiled. “Joshua, Nicole, did you wash your hands?”They replied, “We’re going now!”“I’ll take you.”“No,” Gale stopped her. “They’re big enough to wash the
