Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 188
"Shawn, how many times have you pushed me to a dead end..."Gale patted his hand away, raised her lips and smiled. "There will be such a day..."These words were a bit inexplicable. Shawn did not understand and frowned."Don't know what it means?" Gale's smile became brighter. "It doesn't matter. You will know when the time comes.""What are you talking about?""Shawn, there will be a day when you will find that you have wronged me..."Gale's voice gradually became softer and finally ended in silence.The two were facing each other, less than ten centimeters apart, and they could hear each other's breathing.However, their hearts… could not meet.Every time they approached, there would always be something to provoke discord, throwing the two of them ever further apart from each other."What's wrong?!" Shawn approached her till their nose touched. "Gale, that's my child! Have you ever thought about how upset I am!?"He did not have much affection for Susan.However, the chil

"No. Bring the medical kit here."He sat on the sofa with a cold face, calmly treating the wound himself.The surroundings were quiet, and no one dared to disturb him.The white gauze was wrapped around his hands, and Shawn casually tied a knot when he suddenly asked, "What's going on in prison?" The housekeeper answered, "Prison? Ah...Mr. Wood… Are you talking about Peter?""Who else is there beside him? He has been serving his sentence, and I haven't heard anything about him."Shawn suddenly smiled coldly. "Tomorrow morning, get in touch with the prison and bring him here." The housekeeper was secretly startled. "Yes, Mr. Wood."He got up, kicked the medicine box irritably, and walked to the second floor.Gale... You forced my hand!The housekeeper stayed in place for two seconds, suddenly returned to his senses, and hurriedly went to work.The sun was shining brightly the next day.Gale washed up in the evening, ate a simple breakfast, and got ready to go to work.Jus

She forgot that the people in the world who love her the most are her parents.Her strength, her disguise, was seen through at a glance.Peter sighed deeply. "When you marry into the Wood family, where is the happiness... it's atonement…""Dad, my life is really not as bad as you think." Gale reported the good news but not the bad news. "I am now working as a jewelry designer at Wood Group, and my salary can cover Mom's medical expenses... When there is a chance, I will arrange for you to meet with Mom."Peter raised his hand tremblingly and gently stroked her hair. "I am the one who has troubled you."She shook her head repeatedly. "You gave me my life."After speaking, she walked quickly to Shawn. Her voice was very soft. "You can do whatever you want with me, but take my dad away.""You figured it out?""Yes"Shawn asked again, "Aren't you going to fight me?""No."Gale lowered her eyebrows and pleaded with her eyes, very well-behaved.Shawn's fingertips ran across her c

Peter slammed his head into the housekeeper's body.The huge impact distorted the housekeeper, and he bent down in pain, kneeling on the ground for a long time without getting up.Although Peter did not hit the pillar, he stepped back several steps and stood dizzy for a while, before finally falling to the ground and passing out.Years of prison life made Peter's physical fitness very poor.Gale rushed over. "Dad…Dad, wake up, don't scare me. I can't lose you!"Peter slowly opened his eyes, his lips trembling, and he wanted to say something, but in the end, he could not make a sound.Gale was terrified."Ma'am, don't...don't worry." The housekeeper got up with difficulty. "Peter is fine. It should be a slight concussion. He just needs to rest for two days."She breathed a sigh of relief. "Housekeeper, thank you, thank you so much..."She did not know how to express her gratitude. The housekeeper saved her father's life."You're welcome. It is fine."Gale wiped the corners of

What's the matter with her now?Susan quickly reacted. If Gale apologized, would she accept it?No way!"I don't accept your apology. Gale, I don't want to see you. Take your bastard and go out!" Susan said.She also grabbed the things around her and smashed them on Gale. It started with pillows, clothes, and stuff like that.Seeing that they were not lethal, Susan looked around and picked up the glass on the bedside table."Gale, you should die and never appear in front of me!"She smashed it hard.Gale hurriedly dodged.The glass flew past her with a thud, smashed against the wall, and shattered into pieces.When the cup broke, many small fragments splashed across Gale's cheek, leaving small, thin cuts on her face.Blood slowly seeping out.Gale raised her hand and covered her face.It hurt a bit.However, Susan did not stop there and still kept throwing things at her. "Gale, you return my child, I hate you, I hate you!"What a shrew.Gale was too lazy to argue with

Susan glared at her. "I don't accept it! I don't accept it! It's like you never said anything!"Since Shawn threatened her father, Gale could only obey."Then what do you want from me? Kneel down?"Then she would kneel.Where could there be any dignity left?Susan's eyes showed viciousness. "Haha, Kneeling was a requirement before. Now...it's not that simple!"Gale frowned.She heard Susan say, "One life for another. Gale, I will forgive you only if your child is gone! Otherwise, don't talk about it!"Gale covered her lower abdomen subconsciously.This was absolutely impossible!However...Shawn's voice rang out softly, "It makes sense."Gale's heart was alarmed!Seeing Shawn standing on her side, Susan immediately felt confident. "Mr. Wood, you think so too? Our children can't just die in vain, not to mention that Gale was pregnant with a bastard child. So hurry up. Let her kill it and bury it with our child!"Susan could not help but think Shawn would be more than happy

"Mr. Wood...""Have a good rest."As soon as he finished speaking, Shawn was nowhere to be seen.Gale had never had a moment when she wanted to return to the company so much.The jewelry department needed her, and Lovito also needed her. She was a valuable working woman, not like Susan!Meetings, discussing plans... Busyness gave Gale no time to think about those messy things.By the time she finished, it was already night.Her stomach growled with hunger.Summer came over with a lunch box. "Hey, I knew you were starving my godson again.""Summer, it's good to have you." Gale took it and ate happily."Shawn didn't bully you, did he? If so, you have to tell me.""No, it's quite calm."Summer looked at her. "You must not be embarrassed to speak, given our friendship.""I know, I know."However, Gale did not dare to tell Summer.Best friends are thinking about each other.Summer wanted to help her, and she also wanted Summer to stay out of trouble."Yo, you are all here."

Joe was stunned. "Lend it to you?""Yes, after all, this is a ring I designed. I want to do more research, and it's my first experience with high-end custom jewelry." Gale smiled. Joe thought about it and agreed, "Of course."Gale said again, "By the way, Mr. Joe, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, please don't tell Shawn I'm holding the ring… I want to make some changes.""Understood. I will just tell him I haven't got the ring yet.""Thank you, Mr. Joe."Joe replied, "You're welcome. You can take it and give it to me when you're done studying it."Gale carefully put the ring into the box and joked, "I have to keep it well. If I lose it... I can't afford to replace it."After walking out of the office, Summer could not help but ask, "Gale, are you okay?""Huh?""What are you doing with the ring?" Summer pointed. "Careful with her things."Gale replied, "I have use for it.""You really need to study...""Shh." Gale pulled her, seeing no one around, and said in a low v

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
