Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 488
The two babies are all Gale had left.Did she hate Shawn?She hated him and could not wait for him to die.However, she did not want to think about it anymore. She just wanted to leave. She just wanted to turn everything over and start another way of life!"Don't follow me." Gale did not look back. "Shawn, I don't want to see you again."She walked into Wendy's ward but found it was empty.The hospital bed was neat and tidy, the quilt and pillow cases had been replaced with new ones, and the floor was cleaned up, with no signs of life.Not a single person.No mark at all.Wendy was erased like this."Where's my mother?" Gale looked at the nurse. "She obviously lives here.""Her body had already been sent to the morgue.""Ok, thank you."Gale walked to the morgue.Turning around, she bumped into Shawn.Shawn was about to hug her tightly, but she immediately took two steps back."Can you disappear? You have been following me, and you will only get in my way!" Gale asked.

"Hey, come and see if there is anything wrong. Your mother loves cleaning the most. She will get angry with me if I don't tidy her up," Peter responded, beckoning her.Gale nodded again and again. "It looks good."Peter smiled when he heard that, and tears fell down his face.She also cried fiercely.The mortuary was gloomy and quiet. Seeing no one around, Peter whispered, "Gale, now that things have come to an end, you should plan for yourself. Your mother is gone, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. I am your only burden.""Dad, Mom is gone. I only have you as my family. How can I leave you?""You still have your children!"Gale lowered her head, looking at her lower abdomen.Peter held her hand tightly and said, "The next generation is the hope. The most important thing now is you and the child.""I can't leave you alone, Dad."Peter was a little anxious. "I mean, you think about yourself first. Didn't you say that you have a chance to leave? Then, you must go!"

That word almost melted Sam's heart.It had been a long time since Gale called him that. When she was a child, she followed him with a ponytail, and she called him that every day."Gale, Wendy..."She closed her eyes. "I don't have a mother anymore, Sammy."Only Sam could understand her pain now.They grew up together, and Wendy had always been very kind to Sam.Sam's eyes were red, and words of comfort were on his lips, but he could not say them, so he could only gently pat her head."You still have Peter, and... I will always be by your side. When you need me, I will appear at any time."Gale murmured, "I didn't expect that in the end, I would still lose my dearest person. Life is already heading in a good direction. Why... does life play such a cruel joke on me.""I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."Sam wanted to give her a hug and be her safe space.However, he could not do that.Gale also needed a place to vent the pain in her heart to her heart's content. However, she must main

The bite marks behind Shawn's hand were still evident. The blood had dried up and was left unattended."Mr. Wood, I've known Gale's mother since I was young, and she watched me grow up. It's perfectly reasonable that I handle her affairs. Even Gale agreed," Sam said.He coldly responded, "I don't agree!"Gale smiled snidely. "Ha… Shawn, what gives you the right to refuse? You're the one who killed my mother! She died because of you! If you hadn't infuriated her, and if you had pressed the bell in time, she wouldn't have died! The person least qualified to handle my mother's funeral is you!"Every word was a crime on Shawn's name.Yes, he should not have entered the room.He should have pressed the bell. Even if Wendy had stopped him, he should have forcefully done it.However, it was already too late to say anything.The dead could not come back.Shawn put his hand around her waist. "Gale, no matter what, Sam can't be the one to handle it!"He was not so incapable that he nee

At the cemetery, the skies were dark, and there was a drizzle. It was a heavy atmosphere.Gale had black clothes on and a white flower on her chest as she quietly stood in front of the gravestone.Peter put a bouquet on the gravestone as he quietly looked at Wendy's picture.After looking at it for a while, he reached out to wipe away the rain. "You'll be staying here in the future, dear. I'll visit you and talk to you when I have time."The rain wet Peter's hair.Gale walked forward with the umbrella. "Dad, take care of your health."She helped Peter up.None of them wanted to leave.Father and daughter. They were all each other had left.In the end, Peter was the one who dealt with Wendy's funeral affairs with the help of Fiona.Peter did not allow anyone to come, and even Same had been rejected."Gale, when my time comes in the future, you have to have me buried next to your mother. I'll be happy if I get to rest in peace next to her," Peter said."Alright, Dad, but you'

The black clothes had an elegant beauty to them when coupled with Gale's white skin.Aurum looked quietly for a few seconds, and his heartbeat actually sped out.He felt a little moved.He immediately averted his gaze, pushing down that feeling.How could he get any feelings for Gale? He had his fiance, Natalie. They had a great relationship!Gale did not know what Aurum was thinking. She asked softly, "Mr. Lefting, you mentioned faking my death last time. I think we can start putting it in motion. Shawn has been putting me under a tighter watch. It's going to be incredibly hard for me to leave alive."Are you ready?" Aurum asked.She nodded firmly."I've already figured out a plan," He tilted his umbrella toward her head. "You just need to follow through.""Mr. Lefting, please continue."The rain got heavier and heavier, pittering and pattering against the umbrella.There were raindrops next to their feet.Gale looked on as Aurum spoke, detailing the whole plan."...

"Alright, take care of your health." Aurum handed her the umbrella as he turned around, not hesitating to walk right into the rain. He walked down the mountain with another path.When Aurum's figure disappeared, Gale walked down with the umbrella in hand.There was still some of his body heat on the handle.At the foot of the hill, a black Maybach waited there silently."Mr. Wood, she's here," the driver said.Shawn had been closing his eyes and resting. The moment he heard that, he opened his eyes and got out of the car.Gale walked through the rain, looking cold and proud.She said, "You were still waiting.""I was always waiting.""Can you distance yourself from me?"Shawn pursed his lips. "Gale, what do I need to do to prove that I didn't do anything to your mother?"She said, "You don't have to prove anything. You're still the cause of everything in the end. Two years ago, you barged into our family and let her witness her family shattering with her own eyes! She could

It was the first time he had ever heard anyone shout at Shawn!Yet, Shawn did not get angry and just looked at her. "If you're cold to me your whole life but remain by my side, I would be able to accept it."Gale glared at him. "You're shameless."When he heard that, he smiled.Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her feet. Shawn had bent down to hold her ankle, lightly lifting it to his knee."It's wet. Let's wipe it off and change to a new pair," he said.Shawn looked down and wiped her feet earnestly.His rough fingers constantly brushed against her tender feel. Gale wanted to pull her feet back, but he had a firm grip."No need. Shawn, let go. I'll do it myself," she said.That stance was far too intimate.Her white and soft skin complemented his honey-colored skin. It caused Gale to remember when he violently bullied her in bed unconsciously.Thinking about that, her face started to heat up. Worried that Shawn would notice, she decided just to let things be.When the car sto

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
