Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 31
"It's a female. A woman, and a beautiful one at that. She's very capable, and it took a lot of convincing to get her to work here."At ten o'clock in the morning, the newly appointed female director showed up on time and came to the jewelry department."Hello, I'm Summer Avelos, and I will assist Mr. Joe in managing the jewelry department. I hope we all get along and focus on strengthening and improving our brand."All the colleagues applauded warmly to welcome her.Gale's eyelashes trembled, and she looked back.It turned out to be…Her college classmate and roommate.They used to be inseparable and slept in the same bed, sharing all their secrets. They were closer than sisters.Today, Summer's reputation in the jewelry industry soared, and everyone knew of her excellence, while Gale remained unheard of.The two years in the mental hospital were supposed to be her best youthful years, yet she was trampled by Shawn."Director Summer is well-known in the jewelry industry. Her

Seeing that she had left, Summer could not bring herself to look for her, so she went to Joe."Ah?" Joe replied, "You want to know Gale's story?""Yes!""She...err, shh, keep it a secret."Summer replied impatiently, "I know, I know, tell me now!"Joe said, "She is our boss's wife."Summer's jaw dropped. What!?Gale married Shawn?Wasn't it good fortune to marry into a wealthy family? Why did Gale say her life was bad and unfortunate!Joe warned, "Summer, I trust you with this. Keep your mouth shut.""Are they in a good relationship?""This... I don't know very well. However, the relationship between the two of them is very confusing and secretive."Summer asked, "How so?""Just observe their relationship for a few days, you will see that something is wrong.""Hey, Mister. Joe." Summer looked at him with contempt. "As Mr. Wood's best buddy, you can't even find out this much? You even claim to be Wood's blood brother!"Joe spread his hands and said, "I know everything

"Very good." Shawn got up and walked toward her. "Follow me."Gale was under his control.So much so... she never had a chance to say goodbye to Summer.Shawn snorted coldly. "I will take you to buy it tonight. Leave!"He remembered that Gale was not that much different from the first meeting.She never went crazy, never became desperate, but she was like a flower blooming among thorns, becoming even more beautiful.The only difference was that she had lost her youthful, thin figure and now had a feminine, curvy figure.Shawn closed his eyes deeply and got rid of the messy thoughts in her mind....After she finished work, Gale hurriedly ran to Shawn's car, panicked and afraid of being seen.The car was parked at a high-end clothing store.The store only entertained VIPs, and there were private designers ready to take measurements. It was haute couture and made to order, so there would not be a chance of getting caught wearing the same outfit.It all felt so... expensive.

Gale replied humbly, "I'm here to attend the charity auction.""It's by invitation only! Do you have one?" "I..."Shawn had not given her one!However, several people next to her sauntered by, and he had not checked their invitation.Gale asked, "Why don't you check them? Why do you only check me?""Their faces are on passports. All of them are famous, and everyone in Sea City knows them. What about you? Who are you? Get lost!"The doorman seemingly tried to chase her away.Gale wore high-heeled shoes. She had not worn them for a long time and was not used to them. She hurriedly took two steps back and almost fell."Be careful."At this moment, a pair of hands helped her up.Gale only stood firm and looked behind her gratefully. "Thank you."However, when she saw that it was Sam, her smile froze."Why are you alone?" Sam asked, "Where is Mr. Wood?""Don't worry. This is my private matter."Sam sighed and said, "How could he leave you here... to be bullied."Gale withd

She smiled and said, "I have nothing to bear because I have no right to be angry."Sam's eyes filled with pain.Gale said, "Okay. Just don't offend Shawn. It won't do you any good."In order to crush Sam's hope even more, she added, "I won't be moved either."Shawn had always been concerned about her past with Sam. In addition, she is now the Chief Designer of Wood's Jewelry Department, and Sam is now the general manager of Fantastic Jewels.They were now competitors!Everyone was holding champagne, chatting and laughing, dressed to the nines.Gale found a corner and concentrated on eating the small bites on the table.Shawn was the center of attention. A large group of people around him were all trying to curry favor and flatter him."President Wood, is this Mrs. Wood?" someone asked.Shawn did not explain.Susan was not, but she will be in the future.Susan replied, "My identity is not so important. Anyway, the person who is with him now is me."Everyone present was shre

It was only later that Gale understood Susan's purpose.If she took off her dress and gave it to Susan, she would either have to hide in the bathroom or leave.Honestly, she was already sitting quietly in the corner. Why can't Susan let her go?"Sorry, Miss Susan." Gale smiled and said, "You're too short, my dress size...you can't fit."Gale is nearly 1.7 meters tall, with long legs and a slender waist.Susan was just 1.6 meters. She was indeed a bit shorter than Gale.Gale shrugged and said, "When you put on my dress, it will drag on the ground. I also really want to give you the dress, but it's a pity.""Gale, you...""I'll wipe it. If it really does not come clean, I'll wash it for you and then blow dry."How could Susan agree?She had no intention of continuing the argument. She reached out and pulled Gale's dress. "I don't care. You have to take it off!"At first glance, this pink dress was clearly bought by Mr. Wood.Gale was a woman who had been in a mental hospita

With Joe coming forward, Susan didn't want to show how domineering she was.She immediately said politely, "Mr. Winter, it was Gale who dirtied my skirt first.""Where is it? Let me take a look.""That's it... eh?"Susan looked down and found it was clean, with no traces of the cake left.The stain should have been rubbed off when they were arguing.He could not believe Susan was making a fuss over a little spot of cream."Is there something wrong with my eyes? I can't see the stain."Summer cooperated and said, "Mr. Winter, your eyes are bright. The only darkness here is someone's heart!"Susan was extremely embarrassed, and her face turned pale.How could Gale be so lucky to have so many people helping her!Susan gritted her teeth and got ready to leave in a sullen mood.Joe said, "Don't go. Look, Shawn is here too. Let him have a say."No one noticed Shawn had crept up on them.With his hands in the pockets of his trousers, he stood tall and tall, and his eyes swept ov

She knew this bracelet all too well.She has seen her mother, Wendy, wearing it for as long as she can remember, and it was passed down by her grandmother.Wendy said that when Gale gets married, the bracelet will be passed on to her.Later, the Warm family fell into despair, and all the valuable things in the family were sold.Unexpectedly, she had the fortune to see this jade bracelet again today."The starting price is one hundred thirty dollars. The one with the highest bid will get it!"A hundred thirty dollars!Where would Gale even find the money!The people present were either rich or expensive, and they were not interested in this ordinary jade bracelet.Suddenly, a soft female voice sounded, "I will pay a hundred thirty dollars."Everyone looked toward the owner of the voice.Gale held the bidding card in his hand with a firm look."You? Are you rich?" Susan saw that it was her and immediately mocked, "I bet you can't even get a hundred dollars!"Everyone laughed

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
