Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 522
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

Hearing this, Joe's eyes instantly became extremely sharp, and he quickly looked back at Gale.However, no one noticed him.Joe closed the door slowly.Seaside, yachts.He thought about what Aurum was doing...Joe closed his eyes.He had no idea if what he had done was right or wrong, but he had said what he said when he came here to meet Shawn. He made a choice.He... chose to hide.Shawn was even more surprised when he heard Gale's invitation.Not only had she taken the initiative to find him, but she also took the initiative to ask him to have dinner together?The restaurant on the yacht had always been a sanctimonious spot for couples to date.Sitting by the sea breeze and eating a candlelight dinner would be very romantic."Gale, you..." Shawn was not sure, and asked again, "You asked to have dinner with you tonight?""Yes."With a pause, Gale said, "Fine, just pretend I didn't mention it."She pretended to be free-wheeling, looked away, and was about to turn around

Gale opened her eyes, stunned.It took a few seconds for her to react.Shawn... actually kissed her forcefully!Gale immediately wanted to escape, but he firmly held the back of her head.His lips and teeth, his taste, have invaded her mouth!"Shawn, you... um..." When she spoke, she gave him a chance to get in!In the past two days, Gale's mind had been muddled, but now that he was kissing her deeply, depriving her of oxygen.She could not think at all.Her legs were weak, and she fell limply. Shawn hugged her, supported her, and took a few quick steps forward, pushing her against the desk.Gale leaned back.He bullied her more and more until he completely pressed her upper body on the table.The kiss became hotter and hotter.Gale panicked. If this continued, something would happen!Shawn was a normal man, and she could already feel the changes in his body!"Let go..." She beat his chest very hard and, at the same time, tightly closed her lips, not giving him a chance.

"You said so much at once. I can't remember it all.""If you don't understand, ask Summer," Gale said.Peach nodded and mumbled.She did not understand, it was not that Gale would not come to the company anymore. Why must she leave everything to her?However, Gale could not say anything.She dared not even see Summer.If she gave such detailed instructions, Summer would definitely question her.Peach was different. She was young and knew nothing about her.When it was time to get off work, Gale picked up her bag and left.When she reached the door, she still could not help but turn her head and take a look look at her workstation.Farewell.Then, Gale walked forward resolutely.She went back to the lakeside villa first, and it happened that Peter also returned.Peter waved at her and said, "Gale. Come, come, your medicinal pillow is ready."Peter handed the pillow in his hand to her. "I carefully selected the medicinal materials and stuffed them into the pillow. I wrote a

Sea City, named because the sea surrounded it on three sides, was also a famous tourist city with beautiful scenery.Gale came to the appointed place on time.To her surprise, there were so many people at the beach at this time!Everyone gathered in one place, whispering as if they were watching the excitement.Gale did not want to join in the fun, but if she wanted to board a yacht, she had to go through that port."Sorry, excuse me...""Sorry, I have to go."She pushed through the crowd all the way to the port, only to realize what everyone was looking at.By the sea, a yacht was docked, and the waiters in uniforms were busy going up and down.On the deck, there are clusters of flowers, balloons, and ribbons...A rectangular dining table was placed in the middle, covered with a white tablecloth and sprinkled with fresh rose petals.Along with precious red wine imported from France, and silver tableware.Everything was extravagant.Such extravagant and luxurious decoratio

"Tonight, this place belongs to the two of us, and no one will disturb you.""I've reserved the restaurant."Shawn pulled out a chair for her gentlemanly.He always wanted to give her the best and most expensive, but she always acted as though she could not care less.He did not know what she wanted or cared about except for divorce.Gale sat down, and the sea breeze smelled of saltiness.She was restless and did not care about the surrounding environment at all, let alone how romantic it was."What do you want to eat?" Shawn handed over the menu."You can order. Anything is fine."Gale lowered her eyes with a look of lack of interest.Shawn only thought that it was because he booked the venue without her authorization and made her unhappy, so he did not think much about it.Gale looked at the endless sea.More than a dozen yachts are docked in this port, all places for leisure and entertainment. There were not only restaurants but also hotels, billiards courts, clubs, and

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
