Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 329
Gale glanced at Lucas before she walked forward.Shawn was clever. He had obviously noticed that look.He looked at Lucas as well. "Grandpa, how long have I been unconscious?""It's been three or four days.""Then, what did you do to Gale during this time?"Lucas was taken aback. "Shawn, what do you mean by that? Are you questioning me?""You just need to answer me truthfully."Lucas said, "Haha! I had Gale stay at Temperley Hall quietly. I didn't allow her to get close to you! Is that wrong?"Shawn pursed his lips and said, "That's probably not all."Earlier, he had asked Gale to come, but she shot Lucas a look before that.It was clear that Lucas had threatened her.He felt a flash of annoyance. He should have told Joe not to let Gale meet with the Wood family before that. It would have stopped her from being troubled.It was already too late. It had already happened.Lucas said angrily, "You've really been seduced by Gale! She's a fox!"Seeing that, the housekeeper hur

"He must have been quite harsh with his words. Did you feel wronged?"Gale's nose started to twitch.Shawn was a man that she hated to the bone when he was cruel.Yet, when he was nice, he was so gentle and attentive.A man's warmth was like a knife. It was incredibly deadly, and once struck, it was impossible to pull it out.It was true when Lucas had slapped her, she felt wronged. When he pointed at her and scolded her, she felt wronged as well.Yet, during that time, she did not think too much about it. The moment Shawn asked, her feelings seemed to surface."Tell me. Let me handle it," Shawn said slowly.Gale did not make a sound."Do you think that I can't solve it?"Gale nodded and said, "Yes. My conflict with the Wood family is impossible to solve just like that."Shawn's expression slowly sank.He knew what she meant.The grudges between the Warm family and the Wood family were very obvious.Gale lowered her head. "He said that I was a star of misfortune, that I w

Similarly, she could not forget how brave Shawn looked when he saved her.Shawn said, "I won't let you go."No one can stop him.He would kill everything in his path.All he wanted was her."Galey, you have feelings for me. When Susan held you hostage, you didn't want me to kneel down, and you didn't want me to cripple myself. At that moment, you were just thinking about me. Those feelings were real. I'll remember them forever," Shawn emphasized.The fact that she had opposed it and was thinking about him reaffirmed Shawn's decision to save her at any cost.Gale shook her head and said, "No, I just didn't want to owe you anything!"How could she possibly repay him for saving her life?!Shawn sighed. "Susan kidnapped you because of me. In the end, I owed you. I was the one who didn't protect you."Gale wanted to say something, but he lowered his head and quickly kissed her on the lips.She was stunned.Why did he suddenly steal a kiss like that?"I have no way of shutting y

He failed to stop her.Shawn called out, "Galey, come back."Gale did not turn back."Gale!"She quickened her pace instead, walking out of the room.Shawn lay on the bed and cursed under his breath. "Damn!"He was too weak. He could not get off the bed at all. Otherwise, he would not have let her leave!Looking at his left hand that could not move, Shawn had a look of frustration on his face.The moment Gale left, the housekeeper entered, "Mr. Wood.""Have Joe find the most effective scar treatment ointment in the world," Shawn ordered."Yes.""Also, have Fiona come over. I should deal with all the things that have been piling up at the company."The housekeeper was surprised. "Mr. Wood, you just woke up…""Just do as I say!"In front of outsiders, Shawn was always so cold. He never had any trace of warmth.Only Gale got to see what he was like in private.Shawn suddenly remembered something. "Right. What happened to Susan?""She was sent back to the mental hospital,

He could not allow another kidnapping to happen!At the entrance of the hospital, Gale had just opened the door when a black Mercedes drove up to her."Ma'am, please get in. We'll send you back to Temperley Hall," a bodyguard said politely.Lucas really was on guard against her. He did not give her any freedom at all.Gale nodded and was about to get in the car when she heard Summer's voice. "Gale!"The guards immediately held her back."What are you doing?" Summer pushed back. "Who are you?"Gale reached out and pulled Summer into the car. "Let's go. Ignore it.""Did Shawn send so many people to keep an eye on you?""They're not his. It's Lucas."Summer clicked her tongue. "There are so many schemes among the rich!""Why are you at the hospital?" Gale asked, "Were you looking for me?""Of course. Could I be looking for Shawn? Even though he saved you, what he did to you before this is still unforgivable."Gale fell silent."Gale, are you having a change of heart?" Summer

Gale took it.From a bracelet to a pendant.Something that was broken really could not be made to look like its original form.The heart was the same."Thank you. The fact that this jade was preserved is the best possible result for me," Gale said."A jade pendant is nice too. Hurry up and put it on. It'll keep you safe and make sure everything goes well.""No, I want to put it on my mom."Summer nodded. "That works too!"Gale smiled. "Let's go to the nursing home.""Okay."Gale asked the driver to change his course, but the driver was not that willing to do it. "Ma'am… I…""I'm not going to see Shawn. Is that not okay?""I'll ask about it." The driver asked Lucas, and Lucas agreed.Summer saw everything but said nothing about it.She knew that Gale was like a tool without any freedom at that moment. She looked like she was surrounded by wealth, but she was not happy at all.What was the point of living if one was not happy?At the nursing home, Wendy had been trans

He looked at the time and asked plainly, "Where's she?""Ma'am is at Temperley Hall," Fiona answered."Bring her here.""Ah…"Everyone knew that Lucas had issued an order that Gale was not to step out of Temperley Hall without his permission!Shawn raised an eyebrow. "What? You don't understand me?"Fiona quickly answered, "It's already so late. She must already be asleep."That excuse was perfect. Even Fiona wanted to applaud herself!Sure enough, Shawn fell silent for a moment.Yes, it was almost past midnight.She had suffered a lot the past few days, and she was probably not in great condition.Thinking about it, Shawn said, "Get the doctor here.""Yes, Mr. Wood."After the doctor entered, he said politely, "Mr. Wood, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?""I want to leave the hospital temporarily. Probably about two hours. Figure out a way to stabilize the wound so I can move about," Shawn said.The doctor was speechless.Fiona was shocked.Where was Shawn going

So, he wanted to come over to the hospital to have a look and ease his anxiety.He ended up hearing what was said. He was so angry!Shawn asked, "Isn't it because you restricted her freedom and stopped her from coming to see me? Otherwise, why would I have to go see her?""She has to keep as far away from you as possible!""Then why was she in the room when I woke up?"Lucas was stunned. "That's…"Shawn said calmly, "It's because you knew that only she would be able to wake me up and take care of me. When you needed her, you had her come here. When you don't need her anymore, you toss her away just like that."Just thinking about how much Gale had to suffer from his grandfather made Shawn feel a fire in his heart.If it were anyone else, they would have already suffered the consequences."I don't care. You and Gale have to get a divorce this instant! She can't keep staying by your side. I won't have your father's tragedy happen to you. I don't want to send both my son and gran

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
