Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 1721
When did things between them start to change?Was it because they had slipped into a routine where they were together day after day?Was it when she acted as his girlfriend for a month?Or was it during that month when they were away and had to rely on each other?Honk, honk, honk! The cars behind began to honk, urging her to move.Summer snapped out of her daze, realizing that the red light had turned green. She quickly pressed on the gas pedal.Cars on the road bustled about.In a private room of a fine dining restaurant, Aurum sat in his seat, quietly awaiting Gale's arrival.The atmosphere was quiet and elegant, and the air smelled of perfume.There were footsteps approaching the door. Aurum eagerly looked toward the door. Gale walked in with a smile, carrying a cake and a beautifully wrapped bag."Happy birthday! Sorry for making you wait. I had to grab the cake, and traffic was a bit heavy, so I'm a few minutes late." She grinned. Aurum stood up and walked toward her,

Gale immediately understood. "Ah, two of us are just as well too," Gale immediately said to smooth things over. "I realize I've never celebrated with you. Having a quiet birthday is also a special memory!" "Yeah, this will be the most unforgettable birthday for me." Gale felt his words were laden with deeper meaning. However, she brushed off her own thoughts, thinking she was being too sensitive."Come on, make a wish, blow out the candles." Gale looked at the waiter and said, "Excuse me, can you bring out the cake for me?" "Of course, madam." The waiter was about to step forward when Aurum said, "No need, I'll handle it. You can go outside." "Yes, sir. I'll be right outside. Just ring if you need anything." Gale watched as the waiter walked out. She felt the waiter could have stayed. Otherwise, she felt being alone with Aurum was a little uncomfortable. She did not come here to retaliate against Shawn and go on a date with Aurum. She really came to celebrate Aurum's birth

She smiled. "Since we've cleared things up, there's no more tension between us. Aurum, happy birthday."She dipped her finger in a bit of cream and smeared it on his face."The birthday boy needs this. Keep it on, no wiping," Gale said.He nodded with a smile. "Alright."Gale lowered her head and took a bite of cake before sitting down.She was still a little uncomfortable being so close to him. She was only used to being close to Shawn, in a proximity where she could catch a whiff of his scent.Maybe she was overthinking it. Aurum was a gentleman and would definitely not do anything inappropriate.A little physical touch was normal; it was not like they were hugging or anything.Dishes started to be served. They all looked delicious.Gale had poor appetite; she was having her period, and her lower abdomen was throbbing in pain, but out of courtesy to Aurum, she tasted every dish."Is it not to your liking? Should I order more of what you like?" Aurum asked."No, no, this is

Perhaps that was the meaning of marriage. Aurum's smile grew brighter, but the chill in his heart became heavier."As long as you're happy. I'll be content just watching you from afar," he said."You should pay more attention to the people around you. If you meet someone suitable..." "Let's talk about it later. I am not in the mood for it right now." Aurum lowered his head.Gale softly murmured, "Okay." She understood that Natalie had just died, and her picking Shawn was quite a blow to Aurum. He was a responsible person, and although he did not love Natalie, there was still some affection after so many years together. However, Aurum ended up alone. He needed some time to slowly come out of it. Such things could not be rushed. "A little drink?" Aurum looked at the wine on the table. "It's vintage. I had it flown in from France." Before Gale could answer, he had already picked it up. The dark red liquid sloshed around in the transparent glass. It was fine wine. Even som

"Well, the wine only deserves you," Aurum remarked."You're flattering me now? If I had a bit more alcohol tolerance, I might just finish it," Gale joked.Aurum responded, "If you like it, I'll send you a few bottles.""No need, no need." Gale waved her hand. "We've got quite a lot of wine at home. Don't waste the good stuff."She picked up her knife and fork, diving back into the steak before her.The medium-rare filet mignon was succulent, flavorful, with just the right chewiness.Aurum stole a glance at her, then at the bottle of red wine, his lips curling into a subtle smile.Just waiting for time to slowly pass by!Meanwhile, outside the restaurant, a sports car halted at the entrance, Shawn stepped out. He tossed the keys to the valet, his expression devoid of emotion, his demeanor imposing.The restaurant manager greeted him upon sight, "Mr. Wood, are you here for dining or… "Shawn's face remained cold as he directly inquired, "Looking for someone. Which private room

Perhaps he was in a hurry; his rushed movements as he reached for the door caused his body to lean too far toward her.Gale instinctively shifted aside. She did not want to be so physically close to Aurum.In her attempt to move, her footing faltered. "Oops!" Gale exclaimed as her body began to topple to the ground."Watch out, Gale!"Seeing this, Aurum quickly reached out to catch her.Yet Gale did not want him to assist her.She would rather fall.The set of photos of Shawn and Ivy happened because Ivy accidentally slipped, and Shawn reached out to help, which led to those intimate shots.Having learned from that, Gale could not possibly allow history to repeat itself.So, Gale wanted to evade Aurum's touch.Just then, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside. It nearly knocked Gale over. However, Gale took the opportunity to grab the door handle to steady herself. Thankfully, everything was fine. It was just a false alarm.Observing this, A

Shawn also looked at him. The two men locked eyes, confrontational.Gale kept her head down, not bothering to pay attention to what they were saying.She just wanted to go home and rest as soon as possible.Shawn's hand encircled her waist, feeling as steady and hot as a branding iron."Let's go, Gale.""Okay." She replied, glancing at Aurum, "I'm leaving first, bye.""Goodbye."Aurum stood at the door of the private room, watching Shawn and Gale leave.Only after their figures completely disappeared from sight did Aurum's expression slowly turn cold."Aurum, are you..." the manager asked."Get lost!"Aurum turned around and returned to the private room, slamming the door shut with a bang.The remaining birthday cake, steak, and a few other dishes on the table were barely touched.The more he looked, the angrier Aurum felt.Where did it go wrong?Why did his carefully planned rumor about Shawn and Ivy not work?Were Shawn and Gale still as loving as ever, without any es

When Gale sang the birthday song, her voice was soft and sweet. As he made his wishes, he listened to her singing, feeling content. Tonight, it was truly just her celebrating him. Aurum did not achieve anything else."It's okay, it's okay." Aurum closed his eyes, taking deep breaths. "There are still plenty of opportunities. It's just this one time. There's always next time and the time after that!"He could not believe that every time, Gale would steadfastly stand by Shawn's side, always believing in him. Even if she believed in Shawn again, this trust must have a breaking point.The street was busy. Cars and pedestrians intertwined. Gale leaned against Shawn's embrace. Shawn did not speak either, carrying her toward the car."Are you angry...?" Gale asked softly, "Shawn, why are you angry?"Although she was feeling very dizzy and in pain, her whole body was hot. She still cared about Shawn's mood."What do you think? Gale, you're deliberately upsetting me," Shawn retorted."I'
