"Shawn, you better give me an explanation!" Gale stuttered.He opened his eyes slowly.He smirked."An explanation? Galey, you should ask yourself that," he asked."Me?""Yes. Last night..." Shawn sighed.He had a very troubled expression.Gale looked at him with wide eyes. "What happened last night?""You don't remember what you did to me?"Gale shook her head. "I don't remember!"Shawn sighed again. "Forget it. Since you don't remember, then don't bring it up. Let the past go. It doesn't matter if I suffer a little."Gale thought hard.What?Could it be that she raped Shawn?That was impossible!It was absolutely impossible for her to do such a thing!Just as she was racking her brains, Shawn patted her on the head. "In the future, don't drink so much. You lose your senses."After a pause, Shawn added, "You said you only drank a little bit, Galey. You are dishonest."However, she really did not drink that much!Definitely not to the point of getting drunk!Not to
Knock, Knock.They heard the door knock.Immediately afterward, Nicole could be heard scratching at the door. "Mommy and Daddy, open the door quickly!"It was Nicole!"You guys are ignoring me! I'm angry. I was clearly promised that I would be able to sleep with you. When I woke up, I was in my room again!" Nicole said."You tricked me! I hate it!"Gale bit her lip, wishing she could shrink to the corner of the bed!Shawn got out of bed and walked toward the door while getting dressed."Here we come."Taking advantage of this moment, Gale stretched out a hand from under the quilt. She picked up the clothes on the ground and quickly put them on!The door creaked open.Nicole was wearing her pajamas, hugging her doll. She looked up at Shawn.She pouted. "Daddy, did you carry me back to the room because you want to sleep alone with Mommy!""It's not me," Shawn replied.Nicole was suddenly confused. "Then, did I walk back by myself? Impossible."She thought about it but coul
She tried to argue, "It was not my idea! You could have pushed me away.""I can't push you away. You were like a pendant hanging on me."Gale said, "You could have knocked me out or woke me up with a basin of cold water. You could have done that, but you didn't do anything!""Galey, why would I be willing to treat you so roughly?"She was speechless.The more Gale thought about it, the angrier she became. She stomped her feet and left.Shawn smiled as she threw a tantrum.Teasing her would be fun.He would not explain himself and let her continue to misunderstand.In fact, it was Shawn who carried Nicole back to her bedroom last night.Then, they cuddled a little but did not go all the way.Shawn initially wanted to, but at the last moment, he stopped.Shawn did not want Gale to wake up from her sleep and blame him. He did not want to force her!In the dining hall, Gale texted Summer and Peach.[How are you guys? How's the hangover?] she asked.Peach replied, [Hangover?
The bodyguard was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Mr. Wood, are you letting Mr. Lefting take Natalie away from the hospital? Are you going to let her go free?""Only Aurum is allowed to take her away, and none of you should stop her. Also, send someone to follow her secretly and observe. No one else is allowed to interact with Natalie!" Shawn ordered."Yes, Mr. Wood!"The bodyguard left with that order.Gale looked at him sideways. "Shawn, you are letting Aurum stay with Natalie?"Shawn replied, "Yes. Aurum took the poison. He should start showing symptoms tonight." "He came up with that plan, so I naturally have to cooperate with him to make his lie more convincing."Natalie must be wondering why Aurum was able to take her away from the ward.Aurum could say that because he force-fed the same poison as her. Shawn knew that the two of them could not escape from the palm of his hand, so he no longer needed to imprison them.Anyway, they could not escape him.How perfect th
Matthew hurriedly ran toward them. He almost fell because he ran too fast, but fortunately, he managed to catch himself before he fell.At his age, a fall could be detrimental.Gale just stood there quietly, without any intention of stepping forward to help.She already had no affection at all for her 'biological father'.It was because Matthew only had Natalie in his heart.Those things he had done were unforgivable.Although Gale did not know for the time being what Matthew did back then or whether her sudden disappearance had anything to do with him, what was certain was that Matthew cheated and had Natalie, an illegitimate daughter.She was disgusted. Matthew ran up to her, panting, his forehead covered with sweat. "Gale, thank god you are still here. I'm not late. Just let me see Natalie. Well, I had no idea how she was doing lately. Every time I came to look for you, I was stopped. Today I found a chance."Gale looked at him and asked, "Why would I let you see Natalie?
He did not dare to speak too loudly or act out.It was because standing next to Gale was Shawn, the most powerful man in town.Matthew could not afford to offend him!"Everything I say is the truth. You can't expect anyone not to talk about what you have done. You are not a qualified father and husband to Mary and me." "You have been hiding Natalie's real identity from her. Until now, she doesn't know who her biological mother is."Gale stood on the steps, looking down at Matthew from above. "I'm also curious. Who was that mistress who gave birth to Natalie, and you hid all this time!"This woman was also a ruthless character!Having said that, people who are mistresses would not be good people. They have no morals or principles. They can do anything!Matthew was completely silent.Gale snorted coldly. "You don't need to beg me, and you don't need to threaten me with family affection. I will not cave in. I will never admit that Natalie is my sister!"Just thinking about it m
Gale and Mary looked at each other with thousands of emotions in their eyes. However, none of them said anything.After a while, Mary looked away first and sighed."I'm here to deliver something. I got here as soon as I got it." Mary took out a folder.She added, "I haven't opened it yet."Matthew was surprised. "Is it a paternity test?""Yes. The result came out for me and Gale and you and Natalie!"Matthew reached out to grab it, but Shawn was one step faster than him!Shawn took it first and glanced at Matthew with a piercing gaze.Only then did Matthew withdraw his hand resentfully.Gale watched quietly from the side.Although no one knew the actual result of the paternity test, everyone knew what it would say.Shawn quickly opened it and took out the two reports inside.He pursed his lips and read out the result in a calm voice."According to medical identification, the Yarn family and Gale are related by blood and are determined to be immediate relatives.""Accordin
Gale wanted to know as well.Logically speaking, she is the daughter of the Yarn family, surrounded by servants, nannies, and maids. How had she gotten lost?Even back then, the Yarn family offered high rewards to whoever had a lead. If anyone in Sea City saw Gale, they would find a way to contact the Yarn family for the reward and send Gale back!Unless Gale disappeared from Sea City!Matthew could not find Gale, so he took his adopted daughter in? What a coincidence. Could it be someone planned for Gale's disappearance just so Natalie could be adopted?Matthew sighed.He did not want to keep it a secret anymore."Gale's disappearance was really an accident. After she disappeared, we began searching for our daughter, but there was no news. I felt that there was no hope of finding her...""The critical time to find a missing child has passed, and the longer it went, the less likely we can find her. At that time, you were extremely depressed. You couldn't eat anything. You wer
