Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 2050
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
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 1
In the dirty and messy backyard of Sea City mental hospital, Gale Warm stared at the meat and bones in front of the stray dog.She had not eaten for three days and would starve to death if that continued. In order to survive, she had to grab food from the dog's mouth!Ever since Shawn Wood threw her here two years ago, the only thing on her mind every single day was to survive.The Wood family is the wealthiest family in Sea City, and Shawn was the heir to the Wood family, which made him the most powerful man in Sea City.Gale still remembered how Shawn Wood strangled her neck desperately, staring fiercely at her, saying, "I want you to suffer for the rest of your life. You won't be able to beg for death. You will pay it all back what the Warm family owes me!"The more miserable she was, the more satisfied Shawn Wood was.Two years ago, Shawn's father had a car accident and was seriously injured. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment due to his critical condition.

What?!Shawn picked her up with his big hands and threw her in the car.Gale retreated into the corner in horror. "Who are you going to marry me to... No, let me go..."She was a person, a living person, not an object to be sent around.He squeezed her chin and said, "I can give you to anyone I want. You have no choice."Gale wanted to cry, but she was afraid of annoying him, so tears were held back.Looking at Gale's clear eyes, which are full of tears, he felt a moment of pity.No, how could he be soft-hearted to the enemy's daughter, it's ridiculous!Shawn regained his indifference and tugged at his tie irritably.She grabbed hold of his shirt cuffs with her white and tender hands."Please, don't..." Gale's tears fell on the back of his hand. "Anything but that. Please don't ruin me like this..."This was her first time begging him, and she had no idea if it would work.Her voice reminded her of the woman from last night.There were some similarities!But... how could

Boom!Shawn smashed the phone and furrowed his brows. "Go after her immediately! She can't have run far!"Temperley Hall was brightly lit that night, with vehicles and people coming in and out.Gale hid in the filthy sewers to escape the pursuit of Shawn's men.Taking advantage of the chaos, she ran down the mountain and went straight to the prison to see her father."Father...""Gale! You're still alive!" Peter was very excited and burst into tears. "I thought you...""Dad, I came here to ask you about the truth of Chairman Wood's death?""I don't know either, but I'm quite sure that the medicine I used was right! Gale, do you trust me?""I believe it." Gale bit her lower lip late and nodded.So, Peter was wronged.She never owed Shawn, let alone atonement!"We were framed, but the matter is a foregone conclusion and can't be changed..." Peter sighed and said, "Gale, you have to protect yourself."Gale held the microphone and looked firmly at Peter across from the glass.

Jenny rushed into the building.Her aunt, Paula, broke the news of Shawn's marriage to her!She wanted to come and see who the vixen was.She must scratch her face, violently rip off her hair, strip her clothes, and throw them on the street!Jenny walked fast in high heels and completely ignored the fact that the floor had been mopped recently. She slipped on the wet floor and almost fell.Jenny screamed, "Ah!! Which one of you blind b*tches wants to hurt me!"The employees of Wood Group knew Jenny was unruly and easily provoked, so they all fled away.Only Gale was still working without a second thought.Jenny looked around and quickly found her. "You, the one mopping the floor, come here!"Gale raised her head and asked, "Are you calling me?""Yes! Kneel down and dry the ground!"Gale frowned.She stood still, which made Jenny angrier. "Can't you understand me? If I fell just now, I would definitely not let you go!"Gale looked at her. "First of all, you have to speak hu

Realizing that she had said something wrong, Paula hurriedly covered her mouth. "It's nothing. Since you are part of the Wood family, you should know the rules. Look at how indecent you are!"Gale raised her hand to cover her body. "I'll change right now.""It's really embarrassing. I don't know what Shawn likes about you. Any girl in Sea City is better than you..." Fiona said contemptuously. Suddenly, a gray suit was draped over Gale's shoulders.It felt warm and smelled familiar."No matter what she does, it's not your place to lecture her." Shawn took her into his arms, "Aunt Fiona, you are too lenient."Gale wanted to avoid it subconsciously, worried that she would get wet and dirty him.Shawn insisted on hugging her firmly, which made her even more frightened. Shawn clearly was not thinking straight…It was her who wanted her to go through the rain. Does he have a fever causing his confusion?When Paula saw him, she quickly put on a smile. "Shawn, I'm just setting some rul

Gale woke up from his dream.She looked at him sleepily and asked, "What…what's wrong..."She had done nothing.Did she disturb him by talking in her sleep? Was she sleepwalking?Shawn's face became more and more ugly. Gale whimpered and said, "I told you I shouldn't sleep here. Sorry, I'll leave."She quickly bent down, picked up the pillow and quilt, and walked out.However, she had no idea her hair was a little messy because she had just woken up, looking rather attractive.Shawn pulled her into his arms before she could take more than two steps. "Are you trying to seduce me with a coquettish look? I'll give you what you want!""I... um..."Shawn leaned in and kissed her deeply.Gale was frightened and unconsciously opened her mouth slightly.He mocked. "Oh, so you want more?"Gale regained her senses, and she hurriedly closed his lips.He squeezed her chin so hard that she gasped in pain, and her lips opened as if she was inviting him.How could she kiss Shawn…They

There was no way out of the situation.Gale looked sideways and saw Paula and Jenny sitting by the window, looking and gasping in unison.She went out immediately as it was not a good idea to stay any longer.However, Jenny had no intentions of letting her go so easily!"Cleaner, wait a minute." Jenny stepped forward and forcibly pulled her to Paula. "Aunt Paula, what did you call her just now?""Mrs. Wood!""What!? S...She is Shawn's new wife?"Paula nodded. "Yes. When I went to Temperley Hall to deliver some soup to him, I saw her. I can't be wrong!"At that time, Shawn had defended her, embarrassing Paula. Paula was narrow-minded and vowed to take revenge one day."Ahhh!!" Jenny screamed in anger, it could shatter windows. "She's actually that vixen!""But... Jenny, why did you call her a cleaner?""Because when I saw her, she was cleaning the floor in the office!"Paula could not believe it and questioned, "Really?"Jenny recounted what happened and added, "Shawn did

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
