Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 197
Duphine exclaimed, "You are so courageous! Do you want to go to jail! This ring cost so much money!"Gale calmed down after panicking.She replied, "Although the wedding ring is in my bag, does that mean I stole it? You can't frame me like that.""Why are you allowed to hold the ring? Who do you think you are?""I want to give Joe the wedding ring..."Duphine ignored her explanation and said, "Don't use Mr. Joe as a shield. Come, come with me to see Mr. Wood! He needs to decide for himself!"Going to see Shawn?That was even worse!Gale turned around and wanted to run, but Duphine grabbed her clothes and dragged her directly into the elevator. "Go!"She did not dare to struggle too violently for fear of hurting the child in her stomach.Shawn raised her eyes deeply and looked at Gale, who was a little frazzled and embarrassed in his office."What's the matter?" he said quietly.Duphine immediately made the report. "Mr. Wood, Gale stole something! It's your wedding ring!""

"Who allowed you to give the ring to Gale without my consent?"Joe coughed. "You two are married. Wouldn't it be the same for you..."Shawn chuckled. "Joe, are you busy?""Well, I've been alright.""There is a project in Africa. I think you are quite...""I suddenly remembered, wait… There is still a meeting. Oh, look at my memory," Joe said while walking outHe scurried away.Gale was left standing alone."Mr. Wood, since the misunderstanding has been explained clearly, I should go back to work," she said politely."What do you call me?""Mr. Wood."Shawn leaned back in the chair. "I haven't seen you be so respectful to me that you call me that. You often call me by my name." There are not many people in Sea City who dare to call him by his name.Gale said, "I was wrong. Mr. Wood, I'll...""Stay." Shawn looked at her deeply. "You designed the wedding ring, so you should witness the handover to the owner."This was to make her a spectator.Gale would definitely turn arou

Only then did Susan understand, and she smiled tenderly. "It makes sense... This ring belongs to the real Mrs. Wood, who deserves it."She was so happy. She picked up the ring, deliberately showing it off to Gale.Susan said, "It's so beautiful. Ordinary people can't afford it even if they work hard for years. It's so beautiful. If I wear it, women in Sea City will envy me..."The ring was worn on her finger and flashed in the sun. She constantly admired it.It was so beautiful.Susan likes this gaudy, over-the-top style.She walked up to Gale. "Look, how is it? Thanks to your design."Gale smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I hope that when you wear it out in the future, don't tell anyone I designed it.""Why? Because you can't get it?"Gale replied, "Because it's a stain on my design career. I don't want to admit that something so gaudy and vulgar came from me.""Hmph, you still can't get it! You're just jealous of me!"Gale stood up. "Yes, yes, women all over th

"Let's talk about it later."Susan began to act coquettishly. "I still have to seize the moment now. We don't have much time for the future. From tonight, I will move to the master bedroom to sleep with you."Hearing this, Gale was stunned for a moment.Susan did not live in the master bedroom?She always thought that Susan and Shawn would share the same bed after she moved to the servant's room.Shawn rejected her directly, "No need. From tonight onward, you will live in the River View Apartment again.""Ah?!""You and Gale should be separated to avoid another accident."Susan stumbled.She managed to move in but was kicked out again once the novelty had passed!Susan felt upset.She was pregnant and had a miscarriage. How could Shawn treat her like this?After thinking about it, Susan's temper also came up. "Mr. Wood, do you...have feelings for Gale?""What did you say?"Susan complained, "You meet her every day, and you must have feelings for her. She's so good at sedu

When she was about to get off work, she suddenly heard a commotion at the door when she was taking a final look at the designs.She looked up and saw Shawn walking in, surrounded by a group of people.Why had he come to the jewelry department?Thinking of those conversations between him and Susan, that he might have been fascinated by her… made Gale inexplicably feel her heart beating faster.She never tried to seduce him. She just wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.Why did he feel that way?Is it just a man's instinct?Gale looked back and continued to do her own work. Who knew..."Gale," Shawn called her name directly.How could she not answer?Under the gossip and watchful eyes of colleagues, Gale stood up. "Yes.""Come out."What?'What was Shawn trying to do? Aren't there enough rumors?'"Mr. Wood, I still have work to do.""Do it tomorrow.""But..."Shawn had already turned around, and the crowd spontaneously made way for him.Under the watchful ey

"Everything is fine, Grandpa.""Well, if you need anything, you must tell me. You can't treat my good grandson badly."Lucas looked at Shawn and said, "Shawn, the people I arranged to work for you have all been kicked out of Temperley Hall. I haven't settled that score with you yet.""My place is full of people, Grandpa. I don't need you to do that."Gale finally understood.No wonder Shawn allowed Susan to move in. When such a big fall happened, Lucas did not show up. It turned out that he did not know it at all, as the spy was removed.Lucas said, "I'm not there to care for you.""Thank you, Grandpa, for remembering.""For the sake of the great-grandson, I will not settle this score with you."Lucas smiled again.He looked at Gale and asked about her current situation.Paula was beside him, with a face that looked reluctant, and glanced at Gale's stomach from time to time.Seeing that Lucas has been fussing about Gale, Paula could not help but say, "Okay, the housekeeper

Paula said, "You are not the only one who could get pregnant. As soon as my son comes back, I will arrange for him to marry a wealthy daughter of the right family and have heirs for the Wood family, making Lucas happy!"Paula watched Gale take the lead and felt insecure.She wished that Gale gave birth to a daughter later so that the threat to her and her son would be reduced by more than half.It's a daughter, after all.The position of the eldest grandson is still vacant!Paula asked, "By the way, Gale. Have you checked to see if it's a boy or a girl?"Gale replied, "I can't tell right now. Besides, I won't check. ""Why?""It does not matter"Paula snorted. "You're joking. You wish it was a boy, haha."She did not want to answer.Paula wanted to go to the kitchen to have a look.Seeing that she was leaving, Gale pretended to inadvertently ask, "What was the result of the examination you gave me last time? You should tell me too."Speaking of this, Paula was very angry!

Shawn hugged her waist until they reached the side of the car. He opened the door for her and fastened her seat belt.It made Gale even more afraid to move.What was he smoking...Shawn said, "I'll take you for ravioli now, Galey."Gale swallowed. "You… are not normal."Shawn behaving like this will make her feel more frightened and restless.He raised his eyebrows. "Aren't you used to it?""Yes...""Gale, you really don't know what's wrong."Shawn's face turned cold, and he went around the front of the car and sat in the cab.Gale breathed a sigh of relief. It was back to normal for him.Just now...it seemed like he took the wrong medicine.Shawn really brought her to eat ravioli in an unremarkable little shop on the side of the road.The table was greasy, the chairs were very crude, and the owners were busy.A person like Shawn, with wealth and good looks, seemed out of place in this small shop."Do you come here often?" Gale asked."I haven't been here for several ye

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
