Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 1063
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

Gale frowned slightly.She also heard this from Shawn.Soon.What the hell was coming soon?Was there something going on secretly that she did not know about?After thinking for a while, Gale said, "It's because...you have already contacted the real Ms. Yarn. She is willing to return to the Yarn family, and she is willing to marry you as a wife, so you are in such a hurry to separate yourself from Natalie?"Aurum mentioned the real daughter of the Yarn family to her.He said that he found the daughter of the Yarn family.However, Gale did not ask about the specific progress.She suddenly understood after thinking about what Aurum had done.Only when the real daughter of the Yarn family returned would Aurum and Natalie break up.To be honest…From the beginning to the end, Natalie was just a stand-in!The substitute of the daughter of the Yarn family!Aurum replied, "I haven't contacted her yet, let alone… asked whether she will be with me or not. However, the position of

Gale breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put away the phone. "It's so late, Shawn. Why are you still up?"You are awake too.""Oh, I'll be going right away. Good night." Gale turned and walked toward the room.Shawn grabbed her arm and pulled her straight into his arms.He clasped her waist."Gale, you are still in my home, don't act so blatantly, okay?" Shawn rested his chin on her shoulder, pleading, "You can express your longing for Aurum in places I can't see, and where I don't know."Gale blinked, and it took a while to understand what he meant.He was jealous.Well...did she want to explain?There was no possibility of her and Aurum getting together. The position in Aurum's heart belonged to the real daughter of the Yarn family.Where could it be hers?Probably... Aurum kept saying that he fell in love with her, but in fact, he used her as an excuse.Aurum could not tell Natalie directly that he had found the daughter of the Yarn family and wanted to dissolve the ma

Thinking about it, his heart was still throbbing, and even breathing hurt."Then don't go. Anyway, it's coming soon," Shawn said.This again.She was about to ask a question, but Shawn suddenly let go of her and even took a step back.His expression was very serious. "Galey, can I have some of your time tomorrow?""Tomorrow? What do you have planned?""I want to take you somewhere."Gale looked at him, puzzled. "Where are we going?""Just follow me. Don't worry... I won't kidnap you," Shawn replied.The corners of his lips curled up, and he raised his hand to scrape the tip of her nose.Gale turned her head to avoid it.It was too intimate.She did not like it."Don't do that, Shawn. We don't know each other well, and we don't have feelings for each other anymore." Gale said, "I'm not your pet. When you're happy, you wave and wag your tail. When you're unhappy, you kick me away, and I am not allowed to make a sound!"Shawn's hands stopped in mid-air.He slowly withdrew

Maybe he was bored, seeing her give up on him. He thought she really loved Aurum, so he wanted to play some tricks to make her soften for him…Man, that was it.When one no longer loved him, he wanted to find love again.'Gale, be firm, fight hard, and stop being so easily moved by Shawn. No matter what he prepares for tomorrow or what gift he gives, don't waver the day after tomorrow.'She was determined to get her divorce certificate."Did you hear me!""Don't be tempted, and don't be soft-hearted!""Don't fall into Shawn's trap again!"Gale recited these few words silently over and over until her heart became more and more determined!She walked to the big bed, glanced at Nicole, who was sleeping soundly, and then went to sleep in peace.However, she could not sleep.She did not want to be affected by what Shawn said. A dog could not affect her state of mind!The night was getting dark.The light in the master bedroom stayed on until dawn.Shawn shaved, not wanting t

Nicole's little face was almost wrinkled together. "Joshua, Mommy and Daddy get along very well now. He is our own father. Why do you want to find another father for us?""Alas!" Joshua sighed.How should he tell Nicole!Never mind!He thought, 'Let's talk about it after Nicole recovers!'Anyway, Nicole's vote was not important since he was on Uncle Aurum's side!Ding…The class bell rang.Joshua got up immediately.Shawn and Gale also heard the kindergarten bell from their car.Both children attend classes there.Just thinking about it like that made Gale's heart soften a lot.She sat quietly in the co-pilot seat, looking at the flashing scenery outside the car.The car eventually stopped at the back door of a villa."Here?" she asked."Well, get out of the car."Gale looked around and always felt that this place was somewhat familiar. She seemed to have been here before, or seen it somewhere, but she just could not remember it.The back door was really pretty, surround

"Can't you tell me now?"Shawn raised the corners of his lips. "Galey, you have to watch the show by yourself to enjoy it."What was it?Moreover, he would have explained it to her if he could.Gale sat down slowly.Surprised by Shawn's casual and calm demeanor, she straightened her back and stared at the screen without blinking."Galey, I haven't turned on the TV yet, so you don't have to be so serious," he said dotingly.Gale's ears turned red.She gritted her teeth. "I know! You should turn it on!""It will open automatically, don't worry."Gale was very curious but also a little apprehensive...because she did not know what she was going to face next.It was really boring to be alone in a room like this with Shawn.She looked around and picked on her chair, ignoring Shawn!On the contrary, Shawn just looked at her and only her.He only had eyes for her.Gale pretended not to see it.Finally, the screen suddenly turned on, followed by voices, which startled Gale."Le

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
