Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 298
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

He knew that there was a huge rift between the two of them. It would take a long time and a lot of patience to repair it.He could not rush things.For the moment, he was already happy that he could see her every day.Gale ignored him.She had yet to figure out how she would interact with Shawn, even though she just wanted to leave.However, he would not let her go.In the dining room, the table was filled with a luxurious breakfast. There were various cuisines, and the servants were waiting on them by the side. The whole meal was eaten through silence."From now on, I'll send you to and from work. There's plenty of space in the car," Shawn said.Gale rejected Shawn decisively, "No, I can just take public transport."The housekeeper let out a cough. Gale really did not give Shawn any leeway.However, Shawn acted like nothing had happened, not making a sound as he silently agreed.He could not just kidnap Gale into the car after all.Gale felt that way as well, so she took h

Gale looked around and saw that no one was looking at them, so she pulled at Summer's sleeve. "There's something I have to tell you.""Sure.""I found the man from that night."Summer asked in surprise, "Who is it? How did you find him? Are you sure it's him?"Gale nodded and said, "I'm sure. All the information adds up.""Who is it?""Shawn."Summer stared at Gale, not blinking at all. "What did you say?""It was him, for sure. After I got the new headphones, I found out after listening to Susan and my mother's conversation," Gale said.Summer sat next to Gale and was in a daze for a long time.That was too terrifying.It was huge news."No, let me calm down. I need to think. If it was Shawn, then your child was also his. He personally got rid of your child?!" Summer said.Gale nodded.Every time that was brought up, it opened up Gale's wounds again."Oh my, this is crazy. Gale…" Summer hugged her. "Don't be too sad."The person who understood her the most was always h

"Did you hear me?"Joe coughed before he walked forward mysteriously. "I have an idea."Shawn looked at him. "Speak.""Since it's just a change in the female lead, then we can still continue using these plans and documents. No one knows who Mrs. Wood is anyway, right? You can give this surprise to Gale," Joe said.He thought he was incredibly smart with that suggestion and felt quite pleased with himself.Shawn looked at him like he was an idiot."What? Isn't that fine? Gale wants some romance too," Joe said."Is there something wrong with your head? Gale designed the ring, and she had seen all those plans before. She knows that they were all made with Susan in mind. What do you think she is to throw all of that on her?" Shawn answered.Shawn would not do that at all.His feelings were Gale was not something a ring could represent.She was very precious. She deserved the best and deserved all his attention."You kept on praising yourself as some amazing ladies' man, but you

Gale could do it, but that was because she was the woman Shawn was head over heels in love with!They were not the same!Summer's temper would get her into trouble one day, and he would not be able to save her!"The employees who took part in the making of the ring and the announcement will all receive double overtime pay as compensation," Shawn said."It's so hard to guess what you're thinking, Mr. Wood. One moment, you want to give Mrs. Wood the most romantic experience in the city, and the other moment, you decide to stop it. What happened? Did you get a new lover?"Joe really wanted to shut Summer up.The whole meeting room was completely silent.Shawn calmly answered, "There's no new lover. I've always loved the same person."It had been Gale from the start and was Gale now. It would be Gale in the future as well.It would never change."Hahaha…" Joe immediately took over. "Mr. Wood, you really are a man among men. It's hard to find someone so single-mindedly loyal!"Su

It was the women's washroom! Why was he there?!Shawn calmly stood behind her. "Do you need help?""Shawn!" Gale could not take it and yelled, "You followed me in the morning, and you're following me into the washroom now. Are you a pervert?!" "I'm your husband."She clenched her teeth. "Don't forget, we signed a divorce agreement! When the time comes, it'll come into effect!"Shawn walked towards her. "Don't forget, before the divorce agreement is up, we're still husband and wife." "You…"Shawn walked closer, and Gale was forced to retreat until her back was against the sink.Shawn easily grabbed her and pulled her into his arms by the waist. "Galey."That night, when she was looking up at the balcony, he had called out to her soundlessly like that.At that moment, she heard it clearly.An indescribable feeling crept up into her head.Galey.Ha…"I have a proper name," Gale said."Has no one ever called you that?"Even though she did not want to admit it, she still a

"Don't look at me like that. I'm speaking the truth. Shawn, I'm a human. A living human with freedom. You can't control me like that!" Gale answered.He was even bothered by her talking to a male colleague. What was going through his mind? Why was he so strict?! "I just care…When I see you being so friendly with others, I get jealous and envious," Shawn said gently.He wanted to be more open-minded, but he could not.Shawn had always been someone who got what he wanted. He would eventually own everything he had his eyes on.Similarly, anyone who looked at the woman he loved deserved the death sentence!"I was just talking to him. It's not like I like him! Can you stop being so jealous?!" Gale answered. Shawn asked, "Then who do you like?"It was suddenly quiet."Galey, do you like me? Has your heart moved for me? Even if it's just a little." Shawn asked.Gale averted her gaze, not looking at him."If you don't answer, then I'll take it as a yes."Gale immediately said a

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
