Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 292
"So, so…The child in your belly…" Shawn said in a hoarse voice.Gale answered hopelessly, "It was yours! Shawn, it was your child. It was our child!"He looked like he had been violently punched as he staggered. He could not maintain his balance as he knelt down on the ground with a thud, slamming his fists on the ground violently. His child…What did he do?!"That night with you was the only time I've been touched. I've always been completely clean other than that! I wanted that child so much. I did everything I could to protect the child, to bring the child to this world… Yet, Shawn, what did you do?! How did you hurt the two of us?!" Gale said."I jumped into the lake, and the child was fine. Susan tried to harm me, pushing me down the stairs, and the child was fine. Disaster after disaster, the child and I managed to survive all of them. Who would have expected that, in the end, the child would die because of you!"Gale shouted in a heartbroken tone, "Shawn, you killed our

Shawn did not answer."Alright, I want to personally witness Susan's world completely crumbling in her eyes! Everything she took from me, she'll pay it back many times over!""And you." Gale looked at Shawn and said, "You should be in ten thousand times more pain than me! If the child were still here, we would clearly still have a chance at reconciliation…"All there was left at that moment was just hatred and pain.Gratitude and resentment, love and hatred, right and wrong…In the end, the most innocent one had been that unborn child."Why do you… toy with me like this? In the end, I was wrong the whole time," Shawn mumbled to himself.Shawn turned around, facing his back to Gale.At that moment, he did not dare to face Gale.The pain in his heart, the anger, and the self-resentment; the only thing he could do was to accept it slowly.He deserved it. He did it to himself!Gale had already run out of tears. She found that it was hard even to cry when a person was at the limi

Susan finally reacted, nodding. "That's right. You're already so old. Could it be that you can't even tell the difference?!"The father and daughter pair felt an intense sense of danger.Why would Mr. Wood suddenly ask the old man to point out something like that for no reason?!They could not let Mr. Wood discover that Gale had been the woman from that night… Otherwise, everything they had done during that period of time, everything they managed to get, would go up in smoke. They would lose everything!The old man was stunned.Shawn grabbed his collar even more forcefully. "Do you know who you should be listening to?"His eyes were incredibly sharp, and the old man was afraid of who he was, so the old man nodded. "Of course, Mr. Wood. I'll listen to you. I'll naturally obey whatever you ask for!""Then answer me, was it her or her?!"Susan wanted to say something, but Shawn shot a look, and the guards immediately understood, walking forward to cover her mouth.Gale looked at

Saying that, the dean suddenly had a thought and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, you're right. It was all my plan! Mr. Wood, I had Susan do all of this. Don't blame her. It's all my fault!"Even at that moment, the dean still hoped that he could protect Susan.Yet, it was pointless.Shawn was as cold as ice. "Since you want to admit your wrongdoings so much, I'll grant you your wish.""Mr. Wood…"Shawn had a cruel smirk on his lips. "You can go back to the mental hospital. However, you can forget about being the dean. You're going back as a patient."The dean widened his eyes!He had acted like a king at the mental hospital for so long, and he had offended so many of the patients inside.If he went inside, he would be skinned alive. They would eat him alive!They would not even leave behind any bones!Shawn said, "Take him away. Also, cripple his limbs!""Yes, Mr. Wood."The dean cried out in agony as his whole body shuddered. His pants started to drip.He had been so scared he

Susan would never have expected that she lost because of that ring.She would never find out either.Gale turned around and gave Shawn the ring. "Yours."His hands remained by his sides."Give it to the future Mrs. Wood. I still remember how little my mother's bracelet was worth in the charity auction…" Gale said.Suddenly, Shawn reached out and pulled her into your arms. He was very strong and had his arms tightly around her. It was as if he wanted to fuse her into his own body."You are Mrs. Wood. It's always been you and will forever be you. There's no one else!" Shawn said in a low voice. The person he had been bitterly looking for was Gale!It was not Susan!His love and adoration had been given to the wrong person!"Gale, you are the person I was looking for. You were the person I wanted to marry. That night, I told you that I would marry you. I keep to my word. It's just that I found the wrong person. Susan took your place."Shawn panicked. As he spoke, his voice t

"Have you? After that night, during all these days we've spent together, has your heart ever beat for me?" Shawn asked.She was silent."If you don't answer, I'll see it as a silent acknowledgment that you… love me."Gale pursed her lips, forcing out an ugly smile. "Does that even matter? If you love me and I love you, would we be able to be together?""I want to know your answer."As long as she said that she loved him, then he would be able to jump into the fire, ignoring everything else!Shawn's eyes were locked on her. "You've had feelings for me before, Gale. I refuse to believe that your heart is made of stone. You tried so hard to protect the child. It's because you developed feelings for me that night, right?""No!"Shawn said, "Yes! Even though you've never said it, I could tell that you've been waiting for the man from that night to appear. You wanted the man to take you away, and he gave you hope! Now, I'm the man from that night!"Gale answered, "The one I love is

Susan lay on the ground, covered in blood, at the lowest end of the stairs. She was not moving at all but was still breathing upon closer inspection.Shawn walked over and stopped in front of her.The more he hated himself, the more he hated Susan!That woman ruined everything he had!"M…Mr. Wood…" Susan raised her head slowly and said, "Let me go… I…I really do know… that I was wrong now…""You can't take it anymore?""I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken Gale's place. I lied to you and hide things from you…"Shawn's eyes were cold. "Susan, this is just the start!"There was still a lot of torture waiting for Susan!He wanted Susan to think that death was mercy!"I…I was blinded by greed. I had a lapse in judgment, which is why I took Gale's place. I was wrong. Mr. Wood, you're a noble person. Please spare me!" Susan said weakly."Is taking Gale's place the only thing you did?!"Susan shuddered, not daring to say anything.Looking at that woman, Shawn wanted nothing more t

In truth, the only person Shawn loved was himself.He was a selfish man!If she had not exposed the truth and allowed Susan to continue with her lies and deceit, the person lying on the ground in a puddle of blood, being whipped mercilessly, would have been Gale.She won. Susan had completely lost. There was no way Susan could ever make a comeback.She was victorious.Yet, in another way, Susan had won as well.Susan had successfully destroyed Shawn and Gale's relationship. She had hidden the truth of that night, lying to everyone. She repeatedly said that Gale had a bastard child, trying to get Shawn to get rid of the child!Under the moonlight, Shawn suddenly turned around. He looked up to the balcony.Gale met his gaze.His lips moved, and his voice was soft, so she could not hear him.However, Gale could guess what he said from how his lips moved."Galey."Galey.What a personal nickname.Who gave him the right to call her that?He was her enemy, her mortal enemy!G

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
