Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 517
Peter who returned to the hospital still had a lot of things he was not used to, but it could be seen that Peter was much more cheerful than before.Peter was a doctor. It was his duty to save lives and heal the wounded. He also really loves this profession."Dad, are you getting used to it on the first day back in the hospital?"Peter nodded and said, "Everyone is very polite… Did Shawn say something to them?"When Gale hesitated on answering, Peter replied, "Don't hide it from me. I know it well. When I returned from prison, although I said that the accident that year was not caused by me, I wanted to stand on the operating table again. It's not that easy.""Dad...""I didn't mean to blame you. By the way, Gale, did you go the wrong way? This is not the direction to go home," Peter said."I helped you find a new house.""Was it also arranged by Shawn?"Gale sighed and answered, "Dad, you really know everything.""I know you are about to leave, so you want to make arrangemen

Gale cooked three dishes and one soup, and had dinner with Peter.Then, they went for a walk and chatted.She only turned to her room after ten o'clock.Just as she was about to take a bath, the phone rang. Gale saw that it was Aurum calling."Hey, Mr. Lefting."Aurum's voice was extraordinarily serious. "Something went wrong. Gale, did you slip up today?""No. Apart from a brief chat with my dad, I didn't mention it to anyone!"Gale panicked.Was there an accident? Have plans changed? Or… had Shawn found out?!"Someone is looking for me. And that person is very experienced and skilled. He has already found out that I am secretly looking for a diver! He will find that diver soon!" Aurum said.Someone needed to meet her in the sea to bring Gale ashore when jumping into the sea.Not everyone could do that. They would have to stay in the sea for a long time.Once that person found the diver and tortured him to extract a confession or bribe… the plan would be exposed!Gale sud

"Talk to you soon."After speaking, Aurum quickly hung up the phone.He was also in a state of desperation at the moment.The plan, which was carried out smoothly and secretly, suddenly changed!What was going on? What went wrong?Aurum had always been low-key and cautious in everything he did, step by step. In order to successfully and smoothly help Gale escape, he devoted more energy and thought than usual!Only he and Gale knew about the plan! Knock, knock… A knock came from the door."Aurum, I cut some fruit. Can I come in?" Natalie said.Aurum walked quickly to open the door. "Natalie, you are still awake?""If you don't sleep, how can I sleep? Seeing that the light in your study room was still on, I went to the kitchen to prepare some fruit for you."Aurum reached out to take it, just in time to see the band-aid on Natalie's finger."Did you cut your hand?" he asked.Natalie shrank. "It's okay. It's a small cut. It's okay.""Next time, ask the servants to do it. Yo

Besides, she even sensed that something was wrong with Aurum. Someone so smart as Shawn would have sensed it as well?"It's nothing. I didn't mean to blame you. Go to sleep first, don't wait up," Aurum said."Without you, I can't sleep well."Aurum hugged her and said, "After these few days, I will accompany you."Natalie was a little disappointed. "Okay..."Aurum sent her back to the bedroom, covered her with a quilt, and then returned to the study.He stood in front of the study window, thinking hard about what to do next. Gale was also lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.She has insomnia.She kept thinking if Shawn knew, why did he not just expose her, cut off her connections, and imprison her, preventing her from escaping?If he did not know, then who was the person who was investigating Aurum?Gale thought about that question all night but could not figure it out.She squinted for a while until dawn.After waking up and going downstairs, Peter loo

Shawn looked at how fast Peach ran; what a smart girl. Summer nodded and said, "Yes! Gale, let's go! It would be bad if you were late!"She took Gale's hand.However, Shawn held Gale's other hand.He said, "She doesn't need to clock in today."Summer replied, "Then I won't clock in either. I can come in a little later!"Shawn stopped entertaining her and said, "Pearton.""Yes, Mr. Wood."Summer was startled and looked at Pearton. "Where did you come from? ""Take her away.""Alright, Mr. Wood."Pearton passed one hand under Summer's elbow and dragged her to the company."Hey, hey, why are you dragging me...Who are you? Gale!"Summer was quickly pulled away.Gale was so nervous that her throat felt dry. "What do you have to say to me?"Her voice was trembling.She tried her best to restrain herself, but this was the only way she could do it."Are you afraid of me?" Shawn also noticed her strangeness and asked, "Gale, why are you afraid of me?"Gale immediately denied,

Shawn's voice came. "Be careful about how you park your car. What if I bumped into her?""I didn't look in the rearview mirror.""How did you get your driver's license?"Joe spread his hands and said, "Didn't you miss it?"Shawn gave him a warning look."Yes, I know that's the apple of your eye." Joe patted him on the shoulder and said, "Calm down."Shawn pushed his hand away and said, "I asked you to investigate Aurum. Did you find anything?""Uh... it's in progress."Shawn asked, "Get it as soon as possible. How long will it take?""Two or three days."Shawn narrowed his eyes slightly. "Joe. This is unlike you."Joe replied, "The person you asked me to investigate is Aurum, who is not an ordinary person. He has always been very low-key, so my progress will naturally be slower." As he spoke, Joe asked casually, "What I'm curious about is why you suddenly want to investigate Aurum? How did he offend you?""What are you doing with such detailed inquiries?""I need to ask cl

"Emotional matters can only be dealt with by oneself, and no one else can help."Joe shrugged and said, "If you try, you might succeed. If you don't try, you will never know."Gale said helplessly, "Mr. Winter, you should pay more attention to my work.""You have done a good job. Besides, you are my boss, so how dare I find fault with you."The original atmosphere returned.It seemed that the serious Joe just now had never appeared before.Gale sighed. "I'm some kind of proprietress. Okay, Mr. Winter, I'll continue to draw the design draft.""Okay."Gale left, and Joe's smile slowly froze.He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. "Are you sure that what you have found is true?""Yes.""Aurum is not an ordinary person." "We used special methods to hack his phone records and listen to his conversation. We are absolutely not wrong!" said the person on the other end.Joe paused for a few seconds before responding, "Okay." After hanging up the phone, he walked to the

Shawn squinted his eyes deeply and asked, "What did you find?""I...""Tell me!""I found nothing!""What did you say?""Yes, that's why I find it strange. Have you been deceived by Natalie?" Joe said."How dare she lie to me.""But from the clues and news I got, the relationship between Aurum and Gale...is pretty normal. The two of them do call frequently, but they are just a few words of greeting, and the call time is very short," Joe replied.Shawn asked, "What did they talk about?""Didn't I say it just now? Just normal greetings."Shawn denied, "Impossible!"A normal ordinary friend would always call to ask about each other? Moreover, they even met physically.If that was the case, Natalie would not have come to see him specially and told him about it.Could it be that his and Natalie's intuitions were both wrong?"That was really all I had found. Maybe Aurum just cared too much for Gale," Joe replied.Shawn leaned back in his chair and threw away his pen.Joe spre

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
