Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 135
His wife's attitude was getting tougher now...Gale was sure that Shawn would not come.The dignified president of the Wood Group come to visit her, a mere designer, in person?Oh, the scandal!There was no way out for Fiona. She had to leave and thought about how to rephrase Gale's reply to her boss.As soon as Fiona left, Gale also got up and left. She went to the company gate to pick up a parcel.As soon as she got the parcel, she turned around and saw Paula getting out of the car, dressed to the nines.Gale covered her face with the couriered package and was unwilling to meet Paula."Don't hide. I came to see you." Paula stopped her. "Gale, you really are something. You need me to come to you in person."Gale stopped.What does Paula want?"Is something wrong?" she said coldly.Paula walked up to her and said, "I'm your mother-in-law. I want to take care of you. You're pregnant."Gale immediately became vigilant.She was afraid something would harm the child.She cov

Anyway, the purpose was to do a paternity test!Paula could not believe that Shawn could be so strong and Gale could so easily conceive!Gale struggled. "I didn't even ask for any examination. Are you crazy? Why are you trying to find fault with me? What's wrong with you!""Don't move around in the car! Otherwise, you will hurt yourself and lose the child!"When she got to the hospital, Paula accompanied her the whole time and followed her wherever she went.Gale had no way to tip off Shawn!Seeing that Gale could only cooperate, Paula was a little smug. "Do the examination earnestly, and you can suffer less. Besides, isn't this beneficial for you and your child? Hurry up!"There are more than ten tests, some of which Gale has never heard of.She was a little apprehensive at first but found that the doctor was only doing regular examinations, and even the blood was drawn at a normal dose. She slowly let down her guard.No matter what Paula wanted to do, at least the child was

Gale blinked and remembered something. "You...really came to the jewelry department to find me in person?"He looked away and did not answer."Okay, okay, I'll go first. I won't disturb the two of you." Paula achieved her goal and did not want to stay any longer.At that moment, the doctor came over. "Gale, get ready. Lie on that bed."She stood still.Shawn saw the word 'B-ultrasound room' on the door, and the corner of his mouth twitched."Are you her husband?" The doctor put on sterile gloves. "Just in time, I can let you see the development of the fetus." The atmosphere was awkward.The doctor urged, "Why do you look shocked? We use a colored ultrasound. It can be seen very clearly."Gale raised her hand and wanted to leave with Shawn, but before she touched his hand, she heard him say, "Okay."Huh?Okay?Shawn had already walked to the machine, and the doctor was waiting for her.Gale could only bite the bullet and lie down.The cold instrument began to slide on her l

However, the important thing for Gale was to stop Paula from doing the paternity test!Relying on herself was definitely not enough, so she found Summer and talked about it again."This old woman sure is slimy." Summer pondered and said, "I mustn't let her succeed and kill my grandson!""Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll help you."Gale asked, "What are you going to do?"Summer leaned into her ear and whispered, "I will go to the hospital at night to prevent the paternity test from running smoothly. ""Would that work?""I still have a backup plan!" Summer replied, "Paula can throw money at the doctor, so can I!"Gale wanted to say something. Summer patted her on the shoulder. "Okay, don't worry about it. Just go to work."Summer had always been clever, so there should be no problem.It's nice to have girlfriends....River View Apartment.Susan sat on the balcony, eating expensive imported fruit and basking in the sun.Although she did not successfully climb onto Shawn's

The dean arranged for Susan to live in the ward and then went to find contacts to make fake pregnancy test sheets.Summer also slipped into the identification department of the hospital.Taking advantage of the shift change, Summer stealthily sneaked in and found the one with Gale's name in the test tubes.She immediately put it in her pocket and put a new test tube on it again.Done!"It's too simple. Gale was so worried." Summer whispered, "She's just too stubborn and too decent. To deal with these villains, you must use the villain's way!"She went out. She checked that there was no one outside the door, dodged the crowd, and walked into the corridor.Everything went smoothly!"How's it going? Did you get it?" In the roadside car, Gale looked at her expectantly.Summer took out the test tube and shook it. "Of course!""You are amazing!""What a scare. Now that there is nothing, let's see how Paula makes the identification." Summer broke the tube in half with her bare hand

Shawn was silent.Joe deliberately put the phone in his pocket. "I didn't say anything."Shawn kicked him under the table. "How?""You can find out by calling her." Joe raised his eyebrows. "Shh, listen."Joe called Gale swiftly.Soon, Gale answered with a soft and gentle voice, "Hello, Mr. Joe."Shawn's face suddenly became ugly.She usually speaks so softly to others?"Yes, it's me. Where are you now?""I have supper with Summer. I'll go home later."Joe suppressed a smile and said solemnly, "Well. That's right. Your husband is drunk. Is it convenient for you to come and pick him up?"'Drunk again?' Gale thought for a while and said, "Mr. Joe, actually...you can let him sleep at your house."What happened to Shawn this time? He was crazy drunk.Was he so distressed?He had always been the only one who made others miserable.Joe almost choked. "Ah, this... It's not good for two big men to sleep in one room?""Your house has more than one bedroom."Joe coughed and said

"It's a celebration meal again? Gale, after Summer joined our company, your life has been much better."She left him alone to endure the night.Strange that he felt lonely.Gale was about to answer when she suddenly remembered something, "Hey? Didn't Joe say that you were injured? Where is the wound?""Do you believe what he said?""Are you kidding me?" Gale frowned. "I was worried for you."Shawn stepped closer to her. "You heard that I was injured, so you were worried? Nothing else?"Gale began to step back. "You...you..."Finally, her back was against the wall.Shawn raised his hand to hold her head. "If I was really injured, would you still be so indifferent?"His breath was felt on her face.Gale turned her head to dodge. "Shawn, a long line of people who care about you. You don't need me.""But you are my wife!""You want to marry Susan, not me."He pinched her chin. "It's you now. You should care about me!"Gale just thought he was inexplicable."If you want pity

What was so precious that she had that she could exchange it for her father and mother from Shawn's hands!Gale probably guessed it, but she did not dare to think about it."If you abort the child, I will release your father or save your mother. Gale, one life for another."Sure enough!She knew it!The only bartering piece she had was the child!"No, don't..." Gale shook his head. "Such a deal is too cruel!"Shawn asked sharply, "For you and Sam's child, you would abandon your parents? ""The child doesn't belong to Sam!""Who does it belong to? Who is it!"Gale murmured, "I don't know who he is... If I knew, I would have looked for him long ago." "Okay, I believe you!" Shawn held her shoulders with both hands. "Then let me ask you, since you don't even know who the father of the child is, why do you keep trying to protect the child? Just kill it!""Shawn, this is someone's life we're talking about.""You just want a child, right?" He looked at her. "Then let this one go

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
