Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 88
The jade bracelet reflected the golden specks of light.Shawn said calmly, "I'll give you one last chance. Gale, as long as you agree to the abortion, the jade bracelet and medicine will be given to your mother."He felt that he was already being quite merciful.No one can get any grace out of him.However, he had stepped back to this point to make concessions for Gale.Shawn added, "Gale, don't be ignorant. Take this chance. Is Sam's evil child more important than your mother's illness?"He always believed that the child belonged to Sam.No matter how Gale denied it, he would not believe it."You forced me...""If you still have the chance to be persecuted by me, you should be content."For other people, Shawn never gave them a chance.He would directly cut them out and push them into a corner. There will never be a place to turn around, and you would not even be able to see his face!Gale was lucky enough to share the bed with him!Silence.You could hear a needle fall.

The blood flowed out of her, stained the clear jade, and dripped onto the floor. Gale raised her head and screamed in despair.Her helplessness and humiliation could be heard. Outside the door, Shawn heard the voice and stopped."Mr. Wood, this..." Fiona asked cautiously, "Would you like to go in and have a look?""Follow her." "Yes."After almost half an hour, Gale came out.She carefully packed the jade bracelet into her pocket. Even if it was broken, it was still her mother's relic.The blood on her hands was still flowing, dyeing her sleeves and trouser legs red."Madam, you are injured." Fiona was startled. "The wound is so deep that it must be bandaged immediately!"Gale was expressionless as if she had not felt the pain.Did it really hurt?Well, it hurt, but compared to the pain in the heart, it's not worth mentioning at all.Fiona quickly took her to the secretary's office and rummaged through the medicine box to stop the bleeding.Gale seemed to have lost

"Ah? Well, what are you going to do?""Wait and see!"The car stopped at the gate of the residential area of River View Apartment.Not long after, Susan came out.She was gorgeously dressed, with a dog leash. She looked so beautiful and proud."The house in this area is huge, hundreds of thousands of square meters. Shawn is really willing to splurge. It's just a waste to splurge it on Susan." Summer snorted.Gale replied, "Shawn dotes on her very much. He almost gives her anything she wants.""Scumbag one and scumbag two, they should just couple up and be a pair forever so as not to harm people."Summer pouted, got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took out a sack.Gale looked at her in surprise. "You are...""Dealing with haughty people like her requires us to adopt the simplest method. Sacks." Summer introduced, "I don't have time to play tricks with her. Just be direct!" So…It was to drag Susan in a sack, to a place where no one else was, and to beat her up!"Le

Gale smiled reluctantly. "Housekeeper, thank you. I will remember your help in my heart, and I will repay you if I have a chance.""No, no."Gale said, "Actually, I don't know why you would treat me so well. You are obviously someone who admires Shawn. Honestly, I don't mind if you just obey his orders."She was just a titular Mrs. Wood who had no money or power, and anyone could step on her like a doormat.The housekeeper can totally side with Susan."I hope Mr. Wood and his wife can live in harmony." The housekeeper replied, "That's what a happy home would look like.""Home?" Gale was stunned.Ever since Shawn appeared in her life, she had not called any place home for a long time.Just like the jade bracelet in front of her, her home had been torn apart."Yes, Mrs. Wood, when you marry Mr. Wood, you will have a small family. I watched Mr. Wood grow up since he was a child, so I hope he is happy.""He and I are destined to be unhappy. He hates me, and so do I… I hate him th
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 92
Given how she looked, coupled with her coquettish tone and expression…To be honest, it's quite nauseating.Shawn hated her even more.If he had not encountered her that night or promised to marry her, he would not blink twice in the direction of a woman like her."Who did this to you?" he asked.Susan blurted out, "Gale!""Her?""Looking for me? Is there something?" At this time, Gale came down the stairs and saw Susan's appearance. She said in surprise, "Oh, are you role-playing? Or is it a cameo role as a homeless person in a movie?"Susan pointed at her and yelled, "Gale, stop pretending! You should know why I look like this!""That's weird. I haven't seen you today. How would I know?""It's you! You did it!"Gale was not naive.She would just pretend to be innocent!"I don't understand what you're talking about." Gale covered her nose. "It smells so bad that it pollutes the air."Susan's face was crooked with anger. "Don't think I don't know that you did this. The pe

She once arrested Gale directly in front of her colleagues in the company and became infamous in Wood Group.So... as soon as she appeared in the Jewelry Department, everyone retreated.Susan was aggressive, and Shawn would support her anyway!Summer was not afraid of her. "Hey, hey, peasant, you are not welcome here.""I happened to be looking for you. Summer, it was you and Gale who hurt me last night!"Summer's acting skills were even better than Gales', and she had a more ferocious temper too."Haha, who do you think you are? I am a dignified director, and Gale is a dignified chief designer. Why do we need to spend time and effort to deal with someone puny like you? What kind of idiot do you think you are?"Susan gritted her teeth. "Okay, I see you two have joined hands!"She looked at Gale next to her and pointed her finger at her. "Don't be too proud. You won this time. Next time, I will get back at you two-fold!"Summer stood in front of Gale, her chin twitching. Liftin

Summer made a face and dragged Gale into the office.Joe was left speechless. Joe was just useful for the moment, and they ignored him once the matter was settled."Alas, women are trouble."In the office.Gale said, "Thank you, Summer. After so many years, if something happens, you are still the one who will stand up for me.""Nonsense, aren't we friends? All I want is for you to be honest and not hide anything from me. Friendship only asks for honesty.""Okay."Summer looked at her. "Although Susan doesn't like you, she won't go to this extent to bother you every now and then. Are there any other grudges between you and her?"After a few seconds of silence, Gale told what had happened that night."I don't know who that man is, but I'm pregnant with his child. Susan and the dean both know it, but they won't tell me... She asked me to abort the child.""No wonder..." Summer was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. "So you, you are pregnant now?""Yes.""No wonde

It turned out it was sent by Lucas Wood.Gale accepted it.Lucas always thought that the child belonged to Shawn, and Shawn could not bear to deny it...She could not even imagine what his expression would be like when he found out.On that day, without the protection of the old man, it would be the day when the child was lost.She wanted to divorce Shawn quickly and find out the truth.Only in this way could she completely escape the danger of the present. To save the child and to save the parent!Gale understood that she had too much to do.In the evening, returning to Temperley Hall, Gale sat under the lamp again and began to piece together the jade bracelet.She tried glue, but it had not worked as it had not stayed together well.There would be obvious marks that damage the jade itself.Shawn had not come back that night, and she was happy too.She guessed he was at Susan's place?Gale wished Shawn would stay with Susan every day and night!"Madam, rest for a while

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
