Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 451
However, dozens of bodyguards cleared the way. The head bodyguard held a black umbrella and followed Shawn and Gale, completely isolating the crowd and the lights.In this manner, the reporters could not see their faces. They only saw Shawn's black suit trousers and Gale's white skirt swaying gracefully.An observant bystander shouted…"Mrs. Wood is holding the Heart of the Deep Sea!""What?""She held such a precious crown in her hand so casually? Why didn't she pack it in a box?"The camera captured Gale's hand, seizing the short few seconds, getting all kinds of close-ups.Gale walked quickly and then got into the car.The windows were covered with light-blocking film, so it was impossible to see what was happening inside.The hustle and bustle outside finally cooled off.Gale lowered her head and looked at the crown in her hand.The skin on her palm was punctured, but there was no blood, as it was just a small injury."I'll give it back to you. Here," she said. Gale h

He kept calling her name, "Gale, Gale. Try to love me, okay? Just love me a little bit. A little bit is enough. I don't want much..."As long as he got a little love from her, he would be satisfied and ask for nothing more.The crown lay in Gale's hand quietly.It seemed that it was just a toy bought casually in a jewelry store, not jewelry worth a crazy sum of money.The blue gem in the middle of the crown exuded a faint blue light.Like the sea.Gale closed her eyes. "Shawn...""I'm here.""Let's let each other go. Let me go and set yourself free," she whispered.They were still young.Shawn, who was not yet thirty, had a high position and was rich.Life had just begun.There were infinite possibilities for the future.Why stick to this short two or three years of entanglement?"Gale, how could you just let me go like this? When I misunderstood you, I tortured you and humiliated you. Now...it's finally your turn to torture me. Don't you want to vent your hatred on me?"

"Bah!"She did not want to stay!Gale became angry from embarrassment. After much deliberation, she lifted her high heels and stomped on Shawn's feet with her slender heels!Pathetic man!Arrogant and selfish!She turned her head and got into Pearton's car, holding the crown in her hands.To be honest, Gale felt really uneasy carrying such precious jewelry with her.What if it got lost or robbed?Now everyone in Sea City knew that the Heart of the Deep Sea was in her hands. What would she do if some gangsters and robbers came to snatch it?Shawn clearly handed her a hot potato!"Alas..."Gale sighed countless times, lowered her head, and played with the crown.Such a good thing was worthless, like a toy bought from a roadside stall."Ma'am, what are you worried about? Can I help?" Pearton asked.Gale raised the crown and said, "Tell me, what should I do with it?"She could not wear it anywhere.She would have to get a safe if she wanted to lock it up.She was also afra

She had no idea the Internet blew up.The media was writing news overnight, released headlines, and vividly described the auction process of Heart of the Deep Sea.Coupled with Shawn's public acknowledgment of Gale's identity, the entire Internet was discussing her all of a sudden!Gale fell asleep in a daze. However, Peter kept knocking on the door. "Gale, Gale!"She reluctantly got up and opened the door, "Dad, it's early in the morning, what's the matter?""Look at your phone!" Peter said as he grabbed the crown on the doll's head, "The internet is talking about this! Shawn bought it for you for 2.8 billion dollars?"Gale was speechless.Peter wore his reading glasses and said, "It also said that this is the only one in the world, and it is a cultural relic. Besides that, everyone knows that you are Mrs. Wood! Look, there are even photos here!" The photos were from the exhibition hall yesterday.The most widely circulated and most discussed photo was the one of Gale leaving

"2.8 billion dollars, tsk tsk... so much money, I can't even imagine it.""Hey, wait, Gale, someone picked up your family background.""Oops, they started to dig... It's over, they've uncovered the previous grievances between the Warm family and the Wood family.""Gale, what are you doing? Hurry up and answer the message!" The phone kept ringing, but Gale felt a little numb.No wonder it is said that people are afraid of being famous.It had only been so long, and the history of eighteen generations of her ancestors was about to be revealed.Someone even wrote an article titled 'The Secret Of Gale's Life Experience - How To Go From Killing Her Father And Being The Enemy's Daughter To Becoming Sea City's No. 1 Wealthy Young Mistress'.Summer sent a link to this article.Gale finished reading it.She had to admit that the writing was really detailed, that even Alex's death, Peter's involvement, his imprisonment, etc., are all written.However... the article was deleted, and the

She quickly handed over the car keys with both hands.Shawn stomped on the accelerator and drove directly to where Gale lived.At this moment, Gale was rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home, looking for a place where the Heart of the Deep Sea could be hidden.However, she always felt it was unsafe to put it anywhere!After a lot of tossing and sweating, Gale finally sat on the sofa, staring at the crown in a daze.This was simply a hot potato.She wailed and lay flat on the sofa when she suddenly felt a little pain in her stomach.This made her panic all of a sudden, and she ran to the bathroom to take a look.Fortunately, there was no blood.However, such pain always made her uneasy. After taking the medicine, she called Dr. Lighton.After asking about her symptoms, Dr. Lighton replied, "It should be caused by overworking and lack of rest. I also saw the news on the internet. Last night at the jewelry exhibition, you were wearing high heels and standing for a long tim

"Some people even asked me to start a class to teach women how to climb the social ladder."Gale had seen these comments.She thought she could not care, but unexpectedly, she actually remembered it subconsciously and complained to Shawn one by one at this moment!Shawn lowered his voice and said, "Gale, open the door, and I'll explain to you slowly.""I don't want to see you.""Galey...""My name is Gale. Don't give me such an intimate nickname," she emphasized. It was because every time Shawn called her that, her heart would tremble.It was like the lingering murmur of a lover."All the comments on the internet will disappear, and I will make sure they are erased. Those people are just jealous of you. When the limelight passes, all they will remember is your identity as Mrs. Wood. I only have you as my wife," Shawn said."It's not important. Actually… Shawn, don't you think what they said is right?"He emphasized, "Don't look, Gale."However, Gale continued, "Someone ana

She quickly hid, but it was too late.Her eyes met Shawn's for a brief moment.Gale sat down on the sofa, biting her lower lip annoyedly. "What are you looking at? Just leave!"She began to blame herself again. "Shawn, leave!"Downstairs, Shawn looked deeply at the window, at the slightly shaking curtains.She did not see him but hid there and watched him secretly.What will he have to do to get her back and possess her?Shawn got into the car, started the car and left.Just as he was leaving the alley, another black car drove in.Two cars passed each other, one on the left and the other on the right.However, Shawn did not notice it. He was turned away, feeling a little depressed, and did not notice the car next to him.However, Aurum in that car noticed him."Shawn?""Yes, Mr. Lefting, that's Mr. Wood. Do you want to turn around?" the driver said."No, keep driving forward."Aurum came to the community.He had never been there beforeGale half leaned on the sofa, str

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
