Crack! A crisp slap sounded.Mary, who has always been known for being gentle and considerate, actually slapped Matthew in the face!She is a virtuous housemate who everyone in the circle of noble ladies in the country highly praises. She would respect him wherever she goes!She has been elegant and calm all her life. She was born into a scholarly family, highly educated and emotionally intelligent, and never quarrels with others!However, how painful and sad she must be to slap her husband so resolutely in front of so many people… A heavy slap in the face!"Speak up! Who the hell is Natalie! What did you do behind my back!" Mary shouted hoarsely. "I..."Mary's body trembled violently as if she would fall down anytime and anywhere.Gale wanted to go forward but was stopped by Shawn and pulled back into his arms."What are you going to do?""It can't go on like this… Mary will faint again! What if... if there is a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, what should I do?" Gale said.She
It had no benefit other than shocking Mary and Gale!Even for herself, it was all harm and no benefit!Natalie asked, "Dad, you knew I was your daughter from the very beginning when you adopted me, right?"Matthew kept his mouth shut, unwilling to mention it again."I'm your illegitimate daughter...I'm just your daughter who can't see the light of day! My mother was always hiding in the dark. In the corner, without identity or background, being the woman behind you!" Natalie said."Stop it, Natalie. I shouldn't have told you about your background!"However, Natalie continued to ask, "Who is my mother? Where is she? What's her name? Have I met her? Do you know her? Why hasn't she come to recognize me for so many years?""Or is she... dead? I'll never see her again?""Answer me, Dad! Why did she not want me but let you adopt me?"Matthew scolded, "Knowing about it won't do you any good!""Then I always have the right to know whether my biological mother is still alive!""Alive
He sighed and rubbed his hands. "Anyway, I am your father, and Natalie is your sister!""I don't have an older sister. My mother...only has me as a daughter.""She is your half-sister! She's also a relative!" Matthew said quickly.Gale smiled.She really did not know how Matthew could say such words!In the past, she felt that Shawn was a scumbag.Now that she thought about it, Shawn was a scumbag, but he was open and frank, while Matthew... was simply disgusting!"Sister? That's right, Natalie is your daughter, and I am your daughter too. You are so happy. In the same year, two different women gave birth to a daughter for you."Gale twitched the corners of her lips sarcastically. "Besides, Natalie is a few months older than me. When Mrs. Yarn welcomed the child's arrival with great joy, she had no idea there was a woman outside who had already given birth to a child for you in advance.""When you came to welcome my birth again, you weren't as happy as you imagined, were you?"
After sighing, he hurried to Mary's ward again.Yet...he was stopped at the door."What are you doing? You don't allow me to see my wife?" Matthew asked."Mary is feeling ill now, and she has not seen anyone.""Not even me? Why?"The bodyguard replied formulaically, "It's based on Mr. Wood's order."Matthew was like a deflated ball all of a sudden.Shawn had already thought of it. At this crucial point, Matthew and Mary should not be allowed to meet.Mary...was the only normal person in the Yarn family.She was also the only one who sincerely hoped that Gale would come back!Shawn had already put someone to watch Matthew's every move.No matter where he went, there were shadows following him, and if they found something abnormal, they would immediately report it to Shawn!Gale kept walking ahead, her pace getting faster and faster.It was already two or three o'clock in the morning, the streets were empty, and only the dim street lights illuminated the city.In Gale's ear
"Actually...I've been thinking about a question.""I know what you're thinking."Gale was startled. "You even know this?"Could he read minds?"You must be wondering whether your sudden disappearance when you were young was a premeditated plan. Someone deliberately abducted you and sent Natalie to the Yarn family home on purpose. Let you live in exile," Shawn said in a deep voice.They must have planned a way to let Natalie enter the home.At that time, Mary was immersed in the grief of her daughter's disappearance and suddenly had an adopted daughter, which was considered a comfort.How logical it was.Gale took a deep breath. "That's right. I think my disappearance paves the way for Natalie to enter the Yarn family!""Gale, then who do you think...who has the most reason to do this?"She jumped. "Matthew!"He was the most suspicious!Only he could do it!"No, I don't think it should be him," Shawn denied"Why?"Shawn rubbed her hair deeply. "It's just intuition. You ar
However, Shawn knew that if she did not want to, she would push him away.He used to think that a kiss was a kiss, whether she wanted it or not, as long as he got what he wanted.Now his mind had changed… He still needs the other person's consent… to experience the most wonderful feeling.Gale leaned obediently in Shawn's arms.She did not move or speak.The surroundings were extremely quiet as if there were only him and her left in the world.Shawn's fingers followed her hair one by one."Gale, I will always be on your side. It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong," he said softly.He takes sides.Unconditionally.Just like... how Matthew favored Natalie."You, you… It's unreasonable. How could you still want to stand by my side if I make a mistake?" Gale murmured."Because I want you to know that there is also someone who will always favor you in the world."Pausing for a few seconds, Shawn took a deep breath. "So Gale, you don't have to envy others, let alone Natali
"Galey, you know, my parents divorced very early, and my father married Paula, the stepmother. You know how she treats me...""At that time, I had nowhere to vent my emotions. I only believed that my father-in-law killed my father and forced all my pain and annoyance on you. Once I was free, I would go through surveillance for two years and quietly watch you."Shawn looked at it for several hours.At first, he just wanted to see Gale's miserable state in exchange for some peace of mind and the pleasure of revenge.Gradually, it becomes a habit.Shawn was there every day.Watched it when he woke up, watched it before going to bed, watched it when he was free, and glanced at it even when he was busy.He thought that Gale would fall into a slump, that she would go crazy, that she would be stupid, and that she would want to commit suicide, but unexpectedly, she endured all this with strength and tried her best to survive in the desperate situation."Galey, your every move is beyond
Gale did not understand until today.Maybe it was because it was just too late tonight, or maybe too many things happened tonight, that Gale and Shawn were so calm talking about the past.Talk about those pains and those past."Galey, those are all in the past… We only talk about the present and the future," Shawn murmured.Gale smiled. "Now you can accept that I fall in love with other men? In the future, can you accept that I will bear children for other men?"Shawn did not answer right away but looked at her with clear eyes. "Do you want to hear the truth?""I've always wanted to hear the truth.""Galey, the truth is that I still can't accept it. But I will try to let go and make it happen. I will have very bad emotions in my heart, and I will be very uncomfortable with Aurum. But, I can suppress these emotions for you," Shawn said."It was you who taught me...Love is not possession. Love is to hope for a person's happiness. Even if the person who gives happiness is not me."
