Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 148
"Okay."Gale saw a little hope again.However, she did not notice that a middle-aged woman stared at her indignantly at a workstation not far away.Why is she so popular in the jewelry department?Mr. Joe admires her, Director Summer treats her like a sister, and Mr. Wood seems close to her…Hehe, she must find an opportunity to kill Gale's limelight!In terms of position, she was ranked higher than her!Gale is just a designer, and her level is department manager, only lower than Summer.She walked over. "Gale.""Ms. Duphine, hello." Gale nodded politely. "How can I help?"Duphine Yamler, the department manager, graduated from the management department of a top university. She was usually in charge of marketing and customer service and was very capable, but Gale did not have much interaction with her.Duphine looked at her with an imperative tone. "I'm going to see a major client this afternoon. I don't know much about the design, and I can't explain it clearly enough. So

He looked better than in the photos. He sat in the sun, pen in his hand, the buttons on his cuffs reflecting the light.He is gentle and handsome, and yet most would dare not approach him."Mr. Lefting, someone from the Wood Group is here," the secretary reminded.He raised his head. "You two, sit down."Duphine smiled coquettishly. "Mr. Lefting, I have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time. It's really not easy to see you."The voice gave Gale goosebumps.She hurriedly coughed twice, wanting to remind Duphine.Who knew that Duphine ignored her and walked forward to shake hands with Aurum.Aurum frowned slightly but shook hands out of courtesy.Duphine held it and did not want to let go. "Mr. Lefting, we were almost on the same page last time. Today I have prepared the contract signed by Mr. Wood. I just need your signature to confirm it."Gale watched, embarrassed for her.The person who wanted to climb high was clearly her, yet she had the nerve to warn Gale e

Gale looked up and saw Aurum in front of her.He saved her…"Are you okay?" Aurum asked."Thank you... Thank you, Mr. Lefting!"If it weren't for Aurum, the child would definitely not be safe."Oh, Gale, are you alright?" Duphine pretended to step forward and asked, "Why are you so careless? You have to look at your feet when you walk. Don't be so excited when you see Mr. Lefting and rush to give him a hug!""Ms. Duphine, pay attention to your words."He looked gentle, but after all, he was the company's president, and he should maintain some decorum.Duphine kept her mouth shut.Gale crouched down and picked up the documents one by one. "Mr. Lefting, let's continue."She knew why she suddenly fell down just now.The office floor was flat and unobstructed. It was obviously Duphine who was next to her and caused her to stumble!There was no evidence, plus they were in the Lefting Group, so Gale had to drop the matter for the time being.It was already afternoon when they fi

Fortunately, Aurum saved her in time. Otherwise, if something bad happened to the child, she would never let Duphine go!Duphine gritted her teeth fiercely in unhappiness.Gale was tough, and she would need to try another day again!Since so many men like her, she will go to President Wood to file a complaint!After making up her mind, Duphine immediately rushed to the president's office.She reiterated the whole thing to Shawn again."Gale almost broke my deal. I took her to see Aurum because I wanted to train her and nurture her, but it turned out that she just spent all her efforts on seducing him…""Tell me, how can such an employee stay here? When she left, Aurum gave her his business card.""In my opinion, it won't take long before Gale weasels up to him. Today, she not only flirted with him, but she even hugged him. She pretended to fall and fell into his arms!"Shawn sat on the sofa, crossing his legs, as he listened in silence.Seeing that there was no response from

Gale had been very clearly defiant since that night, so Shawn would only be more ruthless to her than before!"Kneel down." Shawn squinted deeply. "Until you admit your mistake."She did not move."Do you want me to help you bend your knees? Huh?"Gale looked at him. "I thought you... don't beat women?"Shawn snorted coldly and pushed at the back of her knees hard.She was in pain and fell to her knees with a plop."Who do you think you are to be able to seduce Aurum? Besides, Aurum has a girlfriend, so it's impossible for him to see you," Shawn said. "I'm not Susan. I don't like to be a mistress and get involved in other people's feelings.""She is my woman.""So she's a mistress."Shawn bent over and raised her chin. "You dare be haughty. When I marry her, you will be the mistress."Gale gritted her teeth. "You are shameless!"Shawn's hand increased in strength."Shameless!" He still scolded her. Her chin was about to be dislocated!"Kneel for another hour."Shawn

That one sentence… she was clinging on to it for hope.Gale replied, "Yes, the child I am carrying is not as precious as Susan's. She has a good life. She is favored by you, and you will even try to give the moon and the stars to her... Where am I in your eyes? It's incomparable."Shawn said lightly, "If you are pregnant with my child, you will be better off than her."How is that possible?He had never touched her, and he did not plan to touch her for the time being.Shawn walked to the cloakroom, but heard Gale's very soft voice, murmured…"If there is no blood feud between us, would you fall in love with me?"He stopped abruptly. "Say it again."Gale was surprised. Did he actually hear it? Was his hearing so good?"It's nothing. I didn't say anything." she denied."I heard it."Gale bit her lip. "Then why do you still ask?"After a few seconds of silence, Shawn said, "If there is no blood feud, we will not even meet each other."Just like two parallel lines, there will

"Gale!" Summer greeted her with a bag while smiling. "Morning.""Morning.""Why are you so listless... eh? Why do you limp while walking?"Gale sighed. "Oh, I'm tired even to tell you.""Did you fall down?""It's Shawn." Gale replied, "He was back at it again."Shawn's method of punishing her has never been repeated.It can be said that it is full of tricks!"He beat you?" Summer shouted, "No, no, no, there are still men hitting women these days? This is domestic violence! Call the police and arrest him!""He didn't do it himself, just... Forget it, it's fine, it'll be fine in two days."Gale knew that it was not a big problem. Kneeling for too long was a little numbing for her knees, and it was enough to block her blood flow for a while and cause her legs to cramp up for a long time.Summer has always been a person who thirsted for revenge.After suffering such a big loss, she would definitely pay it back!Nothing could hold her back!"No, it can't be like this." Summer

Shawn twitched the corners of his mouth. "What's the matter?"'Is this Gale? What the hell is she doing?'"I miss you... What are you doing... I sent you a message, but you didn't reply to me. I am so sad!"Shawn was speechless."Have you eaten yet? Do you want me to bring you some food? Did you order food? Pay attention to your health. I won't spend too much of your money today...""Darling, why aren't you talking?"Shawn coughed twice. "Can you be normal…"She was mad.The employees in the conference room were struggling to hold back their laughter. They lowered their heads and shrugged their shoulders, daring not to make a single sound."I'm being normal." Gale squeezed her throat. Her voice was in an unusually high tone, not like her usual tone at all. "I hate it. You didn't say that to me last night, and now you feel squeamish by me..."To be honest, Gale had goosebumps as she was saying these things.She deliberately squeezed her throat and spoke louder. "Can you let

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
