Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 592
"Joshua, you're the only boy in the family, so you'll have to make sure to protect Nicole and I."Nicole had a bright flash in her eyes. "How will he protect us?""How could you not know that? I'll tell you." Joshua quickly jumped down from his chair and held both his hands high. "Look, I will shield you from everything. I'll plant my feet on the ground and protect you!" He tossed his hair aside cheekily.Nicole still looked puzzled.Joshua waved it off. "Whatever, you won't understand anyway. It's fine, just make sure you stand behind me if anything happens!"Gale laughed so hard she had to bend down.Her two babies…Nicole did not understand what Joshua was trying to say, so she did not think it was cool in the slightest."That's right, Mommy. I got red flowers from the teacher as a reward. I even got two! I was the only one who got two in class!" she said.Gale rubbed her head and said, "Nicole, you're amazing. You're Mommy's little baby."Next to them, Joshua took out h

After sending her children to the kindergarten, Gale kissed Nicole and rubbed Joshua's head, "Be good. Listen to your teachers."Nicole asked, "Mommy, will you come to get us from school later?"She was just about to answer when Joshua suddenly raised his hand. "You should focus on work, Mommy. Come get us if you're free, but if you're not, Mrs. Zoe is fine too! Bye-bye!"Her phone was ringing again. Arthur was rushing her.Gale nodded and said, "Alright, alright, bye!"She had no time to think as she hurried onto the bus.Nicole reluctantly watched her mother go away before she turned around to enter the kindergarten.Joshua scratched his chin. "Nicole, do you think mommy's just too tired doing everything alone?""Mommy takes care of us. Of course, she would be tired.""Why don't we find someone to help her out?"Nicole did not understand. "Isn't Mrs. Zoe enough?"Joshua answered, "Didn't she say that we needed a guy to protect us last night? So, Nicole, we need to find our

"I know I should have submitted the drafts this time last week. But my daughter caught a cold, so there was a delay… I hope it hasn't caused you any trouble," Gale said.Arthur waved it off and said, "It's fine. Even those designs you gave us two years ago are still selling very well this year. There's no problem if we delay the new releases a little!"Gale really appreciated Arthur.Not only did Arthur hire her, but he also helped her in many aspects as well. He never mistreated her.So, Gale put her all into coming up with designs. She never raised her price and never held anything back. Even when other companies tried to hire her with a higher salary, she would refuse.She owed Arther, and she was someone who knew to repay those who helped her."Mr. Hughes, why did you need to see me so urgently? You weren't even willing to talk about it on the phone," Gale asked.Arthur poured her some tea as he smiled. "It's good news."Gale looked at him curiously. "It's like this. I ga

To prevent her identity from being exposed, she had always worked under the alias of Molly.No matter how the companies looked into it, they would not be able to find out her true identity.No one here knew of Gale's past at all!Even Zoe did not know who she was. Only Arthur had even seen her, and only Arthur knew her, but he did not know her past. All he knew was that she was a single mother with two children."You should just go. On the one hand, it'll be good for Florei's future. On the other hand, you'll have a bigger stage to show your talents. At the very least, it'll be better than staying here with me," Arthur said.Gale still refused, "Mr. Hughes, I won't leave.""You don't even want money?""All I want is a stable and peaceful life. It's not something money can buy." Gale stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hughes, but can you tell your cousin my thoughts? I won't add more to it."She did not want to be pulled into the business world.She definitely did not want an

"Molly's designs were secretly sold to Florei. She probably doesn't know about it," Joe said. "What else did you find out? Tell me everything."Joe shrugged. "This designer's very mysterious. She keeps an incredibly low profile. All she does is submit her design drafts. She doesn't even go to the office. She only interacts with the boss.""So, no one's ever seen her, and no one knows what her address is or what she looks like."Joe coughed and added, "And…she rejected our invitation."Shawn raised an eyebrow. "Rejected?""Yes.""Does she know what I'm offering? Are you sure she really rejected it?" Shawn asked.Joe nodded. "She knows, but she doesn't want to come."Shawn slowly pursed his lips tightly."I think there are enough designers in Lovito. It'll be easy for all of them to work together to figure out a design that can go against Florei. Why would you be so fixated on one unknown designer?"Joe tried to dispel Shawn's intentions.Unfortunately…"They can't do anyth

He had no motivation and nothing he wanted. He was just like a working machine.However, his interest had been piqued by Molly.Shawn wanted to meet that mysterious woman.Molly, Molly, would she be a gentle and elegant woman?During the weekend, Shawn headed straight to the city early in the morning. The only person with him was Fiona.There was no airport there, so Shawn had to land nearby before he took a car to the unassuming little city.By the time he got there, it was already three in the afternoon."Mr. Wood, Mr. Hughes has already made a reservation at a restaurant. He's waiting for us in the room," Fiona said."Okay, is he alone?""He said he would do his best to ask Molly to come to meet you."Shawn answered plainly, "Okay."He was tall and had an extraordinary aura about him. He looked like a male celebrity within that small city.He was handsome and elegant, and everyone turned their heads to look at him.Shawn remained devoid of any expression. He was incredi

"Shush, Nicole just fell asleep." Gale quickly asked him to be quiet.Joshua scrambled over, whispering into her ear, "Mommy, someone's looking for you. He called over a dozen times. It kept ringing, so I answered it for you. Here, see for yourself."Gale took the phone.Why was Arthur looking for her again?Was it about that big company? She had already told him clearly that she would not go.Gale stared at the phone. Joshua said, "Mommy, are you not going to call him back." "I'll call them back later. I'm not free right now."Joshua blinked. How could he allow that?Then would his mother not miss out on an amazingly rich and handsome man?!"That man made it sound like it was important. He said there was something urgent!" Joshua said with an exaggerated expression.Gale patted him on the head. "Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters." Right after she said that, her phone rang again with a call from Arthur.Worried that she would wake her daughter up, Gale had Zoe

Looking at the car drive further away, Joshua had a thought in mind.It was his mother's future happiness. He needed to be more careful.If the other side were an old, ugly, and sleazy man, then it would be trouble.He was the only man in the household. He needed to protect the family!The driver sent a message that Molly had gotten in the car and that they were on the way.Only then did Arthur breathe a sigh of relief.He had finally managed to get the most important person to come.Before he had even settled down, he heard footsteps approaching from a distance.Arthur immediately stood up."Please, this way." The staff led the way, pushing open the door as she snuck a glance at that incredibly good-looking man.How handsome.He was even better looking than celebrities on TV!His nose was straight, and his thin lips were pursed tightly. The way he carried himself made him look like a big shot!Furthermore, he had a head full of silver hair!The staff felt her heart beati

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
