Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 1057
Why was Gale here?If she had known, she would not have brought Mr. Carson to the cafeteria!It was over. She seemed to have gotten into trouble...Mr. Carson was Gale's ex-fiance, and everyone in the Wood Group knew about it!Well, now, under Peach's arrangement, Gale and Mr. Carson met in front of Mr. Wood!"Sam...It's you; I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you again here." Gale stood up slowly and smiled warmly.Shawn slowly narrowed his eyes."Sam?"Sam came over and greeted him naturally, "Mr. Wood, hello.""It's a surprise to see Mr. Carson here. This is where the employees come." Shawn raised his eyebrows.Sam replied, "Mr. Wood is also here?""This is my company.""I'm your company's partner, and I just finished talking about the cooperation. So, Peach invited me over to lunch here in the canteen. She was very enthusiastic and highly praised the cuisine here, so I stopped by." Sam smiled slightly.Shawn looked at Peach."So you brought Mr

"You don't need to teach me."Sam shrugged. "Then I'm talking too much."Now, he was far away from Gale's life.A miss was a miss, and it was impossible to continue the leading edge.Sam knew it was the perfect ending for him, and Gale was safe now.Once he thought she was dead, but unexpectedly, she was still alive and well.That was enough.He looked at her from a distance, occasionally inquiring about her recent situation, and he was satisfied.Sam will not and dare not expect extravagantly.Gale and Peach soon turned back."Mr. Carson, have a taste." Peach put the plate in front of him. "Thanks.""You're welcome." Peach handed over the cutlery to him again.Sam took it, suddenly thought of something, and looked at her sideways. "You have been working with me. It seems that you haven't eaten yet, have you?""Ah... yes."How could Peach dare to say that she was hungry at this time?She was so scared!Just as Sam was about to say something, Shawn had already spoken f

No one could replace Gale.Speaking of which, Mr. Carson was also thirty years old, but he had no scandals and no girlfriend, and daughters from famous families wanted to marry him, but he declined all of them.This was because he still had Gale in his heart."It tastes good. The food is really good. It seems that our company's food will also have to improve," Sam said.Hearing his praise, Peach said happily, "Yes, Mr. Carson, the taste is not bad! Originally, according to your status, it would be inappropriate to bring you to the cafeteria, but it is really delicious! So, I want to bring you to have a taste!""I am very satisfied."Peach laughed until her eyes almost turned into stars.In the corner, Shawn looked deeply at Gale. "Do you see it now?""Hmm, yes."Peach actually liked Sam!God!If Shawn had not mentioned something, she would not have found out so quickly!So obvious!No wonder Shawn saw it at a glance!Gale felt that she was too blind not to notice but want

"No! I didn't notice it at first, but Shawn has poisonous eyes, so he could tell it at a glance."Summer rubbed her chin. "It's reasonable for her to like Sam. A man who is tall, handsome, qualified, polite, and most importantly, rich and dedicated. Which girl is not moved!"Gale nodded. "Yes, there is absolutely nothing bad to say about Sam's character! I can guarantee this! If Peach is with him, she will definitely be happy!"However, Summer sighed. "It's you that Sam likes, Gale. You're his only one, and you're still in his heart. How can he start a new relationship!""There is no way for us to get together.""That's what I said, but Gale, think about it. Right now, Peach is still in the stage of having a crush. But the problem is that if she confesses, what if she was directly rejected?" Summer said.In fact, Summer had vaguely guessed e that there was more than just work between Peach and Sam.Whenever they went to Carson Group, Peach deliberately dressed up seriously.Whe

However, he did not want to see this happen.Love was to fulfill her.It was to let go of the person who could give her happiness!Aurum replied, "After catching Natalie's dirty trick, I will find a way to get her to agree to release the spell from Nicole's body.""Even if you don't, I have a way to make her agree if she doesn't agree.""What do you mean?" Aurum did not quite understand where Shawn's confidence came from."Because I have another way to get her!""What did you do to her..."Before Aurum could finish, another call came in."Natalie called me. I'll pick her up, and I'll let you know when I have news," Aurum said.Shawn and Aurum were waiting for the moment when Natalie made a move.At that moment, it was the time when Natalie's true face was revealed!This was the most important turning point!They could not let Natalie realize that they already knew what she was going to do, but at the same time, they could not let her succeed!Aurum answered the phone, pre
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 1062
Aurum knew it would be very soon, and the sooner, the better. In his heart, there were still infinite emotions.Why did Natalie, who was once so virtuous and considerate, end up like this?When did she change?Or had Natalie always been selfish, vicious, and unscrupulous, but Aurum had not noticed it at all!Aurum sent Shawn a message.[Tomorrow night, the Yarn residence.]After that, he threw the phone away, closed his eyes, and rested, feeling very tired.There was a knock on the door, followed by a voice saying, "Uncle Aurum, are you asleep?"It was Joshua."No. Come in," Aurum replied. Joshua pushed open the door and ran to him in his pajamas. "Why aren't you asleep yet?""Why haven't you slept yet? It's already this late, and you still have to go to school tomorrow," Aurum asked."I can get up and not stay in bed.""Then it's time to sleep. If children don't get enough sleep, they won't grow taller."Joshua rolled his eyes. "Then I'll make up for my lack of sleep at

Why had Aurum video called her this late?He never contacted her beforehand.Glancing at Nicole, who had just fallen asleep, Gale walked out of the room quietly for fear of disturbing her.As soon as she connected, she heard Joshua's surprised voice before she could say anything. "Mommy!"How dare he!She thought, why would Aurum do such a reckless thing?"Joshua, do you miss me?" Gale smiled slightly."Yes, yes, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?""Of course I do."Across the corridor, Shawn saw Gale leaning against the door with her head down and a sweet smile on her lips.Her hair hung down from her shoulders softly, and her fingers unconsciously hooked the ends of her hair. She looked at the phone screen, wearing earphones. Her eyes were bent into crescent moons.Such a beautiful and tender scene.The second floor was very quiet, so Shawn heard her say, 'Of course, I do'.Who was she thinking about?Aurum?As soon as the name flashed through Shawn's mind, a sharp pa

"By the way, Mommy, Uncle Aurum admitted that he likes you! So I'll secretly ask you now, do you like Uncle Aurum?" Joshua's voice was so low that it almost became a breathy voice.Gale did not answer him and changed the subject. "Give him back your phone, go to bed early, and stop gossiping, okay?""Mommy, you have to answer me first.""Don't worry about adults' affairs.""It's that sentence again! I don't like to hear it!" Joshua yelled.When Uncle Shawn said this to him, he would hang up the phone directly without another word!He did not hang up only because it was Mommy!Moreover, Joshua really wanted to know if Mommy was interested in Uncle Aurum!"It's not up to you whether you like it or not, okay? You have to go to school tomorrow." Gale pretended to be serious with a straight face."Oh, Mommy… don't do this…"Seeing that the hard approach was failing, Joshua tried the soft approach."After my long-term assessment, from character, to appearance, to height, to family

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 2049
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
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 2048
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
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 2044
"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
