Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 1279
She rushed forward and tugged on Matthew's sleeve, completely losing her image of an elegant woman. The dignified lady would lose control when faced with such a cruel truth!"How dare you do it, but don't dare to admit your faults! You are afraid that I will not be able to bear it. Are you worried about me? You are just cowardly! Incapable of paying for your mistakes!""If Gale hadn't appeared, if I hadn't found her, you wouldn't have told the truth at all. I wouldn't find out until I died!"Mary gritted her teeth. "Oh, maybe, when that mistress pressured you again that she also wants to enter our family home, you would tell me the truth!"Matthew tried to break away from Mary's grip."Calm down, don't cry. Pay attention to your own image. You are a lady! Why act like a shrew…" Matthew said."A shrew? I'm a shrew? You have done such a sorry thing to me, and yet you despise me?" Mary laughed with tears streaming down her eyes. Mary was heartbroken.How could he be so ugly and u

"Even I never knew that they adopted me. I have no memory of what happened before my disappearance. I had a wonderful childhood.""Mary, I am very lucky to be adopted by my parents and grow up to this day in good health.""I remember you said that you have always been so kind to Natalie. You hoped that the goodwill would be passed on to me. Mary, your wish did come true."The Warn family treated Gale really well. It was no worse than at the Yarns!Although the Warm family was not as rich as the Yarn family, she was very satisfied and content!"You are a good girl. The Warm family really raised you very well. It can be regarded as fulfilling my worries and regrets," Mary said.Good people would be rewarded with good things. Gale had always believed in that.To her, she did not care whether this Yarn family returned or not and whether she was recognized as their daughter.She only hoped that Mary could survive this ordeal.Most people would not be able to bear it. Even if the

"What..."Matthew did not expect that Mary filed for divorce now!Matthew hurriedly stopped her. "You are angry, and everything you say is from anger. I don't believe it and pretend I didn't hear it. Calm down and speak later…"Mary interrupted him. "I'm not angry. Matthew, I really want a divorce!""This... This is not a child's play. We have been married for decades. Why are we getting divorced?""I have a husband who betrayed his marriage, has an illegitimate daughter, and concealed it for twenty years. Why wouldn't I want a divorce?" she spat back.Seeing Mary's firm determination, Matthew panicked."You are adding to the chaos! We're at a critical family moment, and you should be of one mind with me and restore the peace of the Yarn family. Why do you still insist on getting a divorce? Nonsense!"Right now, Gale was obviously closer to Mary.If Mary went through with the divorce, the Yarn family would be on the verge of collapse.Matthew could not be alone!"I don't agr

Gale changed the subject. "If it had happened to me..."Mary looked at her and quickly interrupted, "Bah, bah, don't curse yourself. You and Mr. Wood will live together for a long time, for a hundred years!"Gale smiled.As a mother, she always wanted her children to live well.Gale understood Mary because she was also a mother.Sometimes, when Nicole and Joshua said something inappropriate, she quickly corrected them.However, whether she and Shawn could last for a long time was still unknown.They were about to break up."Mr. Wood treats you very well now. I have seen it." Mary patted the back of her hand.She only saw Shawn two or three times in total.Every time, she would find Shawn always looking at her.Wherever she went, his eyes would follow."Gale, although Matthew said a lot of stupid things just now, there is one thing I still agree with.""Which one?""Let's let the past go and then manage the family and marriage well. Look forward and think about the future,

What if Mary went back on her decision?"Okay. That would be very helpful," Mary replied.Gale was obviously relieved.She and Shawn thought about divorcing.If Mary could not let go of Matthew after being married for twenty years, she would not let the Wood Group's lawyers intervene in the divorce case.Mary was also someone who had experience.She knew in her heart what Shawn and Gale were thinking."Since I filed for divorce, I don't plan to turn back. I'm not angry, just really disappointed. Gale, do you know how Matthew and I got married back then?" Mary said.Gale shook her head."Do you want to hear it?""If you're willing to tell me, I'm willing to listen."She should also know the ins and outs of how her biological parents got together.Mary looked far away for a moment.After thinking, she finally smiled. "I just understood why you should not marry the man your parents disapproved of."Gale was a little surprised. "Could it be… Are your parents against the marri

Matthew made such an outrageous mistake. He did not even apologize, let alone take any actual actions to redeem it. He absolutely cannot be forgiven!If he wanted to be forgiven, he knew what to do.Back then, Matthew managed to marry Mary, and now he should find ways to get Mary back!It should be impossible for someone as selfish as Matthew.What he loved was not Mary nor the mistress who gave birth to Natalie. What he loved was himself!Mary smiled softly. "The good thing is that I gave birth to you. My health is very poor, and I suffered a lot when I was pregnant with you. The doctor also repeatedly emphasized that after I gave birth to you, I would never give birth to any more children. You are my blessing."Gale's eyes became wet.After Wendy passed away some time ago, she once again felt strong maternal love.In the past few years, she became a mother and gave birth to Joshua and Nicole. She devoted all her love to the two children.She was the one who gave motherly lov

He was just there.After spending five minutes together, Gale suddenly turned to look at him."Hmm?" Shawn raised his eyebrows deeply."Why are you not talking?""I am afraid to disturb you.""Do you have nothing to say to me?" Gale asked.Her tone was a little rushed.It was kind of aggressive.Shawn shook his head. "I wanted to sit in silence with you.""Why aren't you comforting me? Even a word is fine," Gale said."Do you need my comfort?""Yes, I need it!"Shawn looked at her deeply. "You know, Galey, I'm not very good at comforting people.""Then, go and learn!"After saying this, Gale felt that she was a bit of a fool and was unreasonable.However, Shawn was not angry, and he said, "Okay. I'll learn."Gale was so angry.Shawn did not accept the offer at all.She also felt embarrassed and softened her tone. "I'm just venting. Why do you keep letting me go at you?""It's because I know you're losing your temper that I let you go.""Huh?""Just let it out, don'

"No, you don't understand! Once I give the antidote and Nicole has regained consciousness, there is no way Shawn will let me go! He lied to you! He is so ruthless and hates me so much!" Natalie said.Aurum sighed. "Why do you distrust me so much? Do you think I can't protect you?""It's not that I don't believe in you; it's that I don't believe in Shawn! Nicole is my amulet, and it's also a means for me to make Gale suffer." Natalie maintained vigilance.Seeing that she was still so unrepentant, Aurum knew he could not persuade her anymore.Aurum changed the subject. "Let's eat first."He walked toward the dining room, but Natalie remained motionless. "What's wrong? Aren't you hungry?" He looked back at her."Why did you bring me back to your house? Will Shawn let me go? Or... have you come up with some new tricks to deal with me?" Natalie asked.Aurum remained calm."I made a deal with Shawn, and he let me take you away," he said."What deal?""I'll tell you after dinner."

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
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
