Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 239
Gale could even hear the sound of liquid dripping from the IV drip.Her heart sounded still and lifeless, reflective of her current state.Shawn sat on the sofa with the laptop on his lap and started to work.This was the first time he had not gone to the company since he took over as the president of the Wood Group.All because of Gale.It was a pity that she still could not appreciate it.Shawn stared deeply at the computer. He was impetuous and could not work properly.After replying to Fiona's message and sending a few instructions, his fingers landed on the keyboard, motionless.Until the news of Joe popped up."Mr. Wood, what's the situation now?""Has Gale woken up?"Joe kept messaging him, asking what had happened and the current situation.Shawn did not reply.He closed the computer, put it aside, and furrowed his eyebrows heavily.Looking up, Gale was already asleep.She tilted her head and closed her eyes, looking very quiet.There was sleeping medicine place

The bodyguard shook his head. "We can't ask Mr. Wood's whereabouts at will.""Lend me the mobile phone, and I'll give him a call.""Yes, ma'am."When connected, Shawn was indifferent and aloof. The voice came, "What's the matter?""It's me," Gale said.He was silent for a few seconds before saying, "What's the matter."Although the words were the same, his tone had softened a lot.Gale asked, "You left me in the ward alone and didn't allow me to go out. What's the difference between being in jail? Am I not free?""You need to take care of your body now."The person who put me in this situation and harmed my body is clearly you."Shawn said, "Just stay there and recover well."Gale said, "I'm bored alone. Let Summer come with me.""No.""Then you come with me." She raised her eyebrows. "If you can't do it, let Summer come."After a few seconds of silence, Shawn hung up the phone.Gale continued to peel the apple seriously.Her technique was very good. Not a piece of appl

"Stupid Gale…" Summer sniffed. "We're friends. I understand your feelings. There's no need to say much."Gale nodded.Summer was the only one who could get her to open up."As for Susan, the bug is still working. Time's slowly ticking away. I wonder if I'll manage to hear some secrets before the power runs out," Gale said."Even if the power is out, I have my ways.""What ways?"Summer acted very mysteriously. "I can just find an excuse and tell her that the diamond needs to be maintained or something similar, then she'll obediently give us the ring."Gale finally revealed a rare smile. She hoped that everything would go smoothly.She did not want to wait anymore, nor did she want to drag things on any longer. She just felt very tired.Summer stayed there and only left at night.Gale forced herself to eat a few mouthfuls of food before she lay on the bed and stared into space.She would occasionally touch the fruit knife beneath the pillow.Yes, it was still there."Gale

She would teach Susan a lesson and soothe the hatred in her heart!The guards looked at the two women and felt incredibly troubled.One was the one that Mr. Wood liked, while the other was Mr. Wood's wife…That…"What? Are you ignoring my orders? Can't you do something so simple?" Gale started to pressure them. With a twist of her hand, she pushed Susan to the guards.One of the guards grabbed her. "Ms. Fanning, apologies.""Ah!" Susan cried out in anger, "Gale, what are you trying to do?!"Gale ignored Susan and told the servant by her side, "Go get a bucket of water.""Yes, ma'am."This whole floor was basically staffed with Shawn's people.Gale was not worried about anything.She hoped that news of this incident would immediately reach Shawn's ears!A bucket full of water was brought over. Gale glanced at it and said, "It's too clean.""What?" The servant was stunned.Gale picked up a broom and swirled it around the water. After that, she tossed it away before reachi

"Shawn loves me deeply, but he can't accept that child. Now that I've had a miscarriage, he wants us to be a normal, loving couple."Susan shook her head vigorously. "I…Impossible!""If you don't believe me, you can ask him.""How could Mr. Wood like you?! You're the daughter of his enemy!" Susan shouted out, unable to believe it."Love is love. He admitted it himself." Gale walked closer to Susan, lowering her voice. "But I don't love him. So… If you tell me who the man from that night is, I'll retreat, and you'll get another chance."Susan wiped the dirty water from her face before falling silent.He clearly knew that Gale was the daughter of his enemy but did not know that Gale was the woman from that night. Even under those circumstances, Shawn still fell in love with Gale.How deep were his feelings for her?!"Are you going to tell me or not? Are you going to keep this secret your whole life?" Gale asked.Susan stared at her and answered, "I will never tell you. Never!"

Gale almost failed to push her down.On top of that, there was water all around her feet. It was wet and slippery. Gale took two steps back, starting to sway, and lost her balance. Shawn hurried over. His long arm circled her waist, pulling her into his embrace."Careful." Gale fell securely into his arms.Susan finally crawled up. Her whole body was wet, and she looked like a crazy lady who had just fled a natural disaster."Mr. Wood! You're finally here! This woman kept on bullying me. She pushed me into the water and refused to stop… She was trying to kill you! If you came any later, I might have drowned!" she immediately complained.Gale answered emotionlessly, "Aren't you still alive?""Y…You really wanted to kill me?!""Yes. It's not just you. I even want Shawn's life."Susan immediately looked at Shawn. "Just listen to how venomous her thoughts are!"Shawn pursed his lips, looking down at Gale to make sure that she was fine.Ture, his men were all here, and he had

Susan did not like how delicate and elegant Gale looked, so Susan constantly picked on Gale.After that, she got to know Shawn. With Shawn behind her, she constantly bullied Gale.And yet! Susan never expected that Gale would ever be standing on top of her!How could Susan ever stomach that anger?!"Gale, I'll remember what happened today. Don't let me get the chance, or I'll definitely have you pay an even more painful price! I'll have you on your knees begging for mercy!" Susan said venomously to herself.She wiped her face again and looked at the toilet bowl. After that, she started to vomit again.Water that had been used to clean a broom, toilet water… She had drunk it all!Gale was a despicable woman!She needed to look for her father to figure out a plan!In the hospital ward, Gale had been about to close the door when Shawn reached out to stop her.She tried to close it with some more force, but he was able to open it with one hand and walked in."I don't need you

"You were doting on me?""Yes, didn't you feel it?"Gale was speechless."My patience is limited." Shawn pulled out a chair and sat next to the bed. "Gale, as a woman, you should have some sensitivity.""I'm sorry, I'm just completely insensitive. You should go dote on someone else. I don't need it."He frowned unhappily.Gale flipped through her book, wanting to give it a good read. However, Shawn kept on staring at her by the side, not letting her calm down."It's quite funny." She closed her book and said, "Susan's your benefactor, but you can kick her aside just like that, running to me. Shawn, all I have for you is hatred. Once you get over the novelty of it all, my end… might be ten thousand times worse than Susan's."Gale was not blinded by love.Her mind was very clear.She knew very well how shallow and weak the love Shawn constantly proclaimed was.It would be the start of her tragedy if she stupidly believed him and fell into his arms.Furthermore…Shawn had mad

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
