They had not seen each other for four years. Even if they were unfamiliar at that moment, the smell of his cologne stirred a deep sense of familiarity in her heart.They were husband and wife. They were once the closest people to each other!Shawn asked in a low voice, "Are you still angry? Galey, the woman in Temperley Hall really does just look too much like you. That's why I brought her in. However, I've never touched her. I swear.""I'm not angry. I don't care either. You're free to have any woman you want."Shawn answered, "How could a married man be that free? The wife will care.""Who's your wi-mph…" Gale was about to offer a rebuttal when his lips suddenly pushed down.There had been no signs at all.Her mind went blank on the spot. Her eyes widened, and she forgot even to blink.The familiar scent, the familiar taste. Even his lips were as cold as they always were!Shawn's kiss was still as strong and forceful as it used to be.He did not give Gale any chance to ru
Shawn answered, "Nicole said it. You're angry, so she asked me to kiss you to make you happy.""Was that just a kiss?"That was an intense french kiss!She almost lost her breath!Shawn nodded. "Oh, I understand. That was too intense. I'll kiss you properly now."As he said that, he leaned in again.Gale hurriedly looked away. "Don't you dare!"He let out a magnetic laugh as he moved away.That man was a rascal!Shawn said in a low voice, "Now you're really angry. Galey, you look really cute like this.""If you dare to suddenly kiss me again like that, I…I'll…""Oh? What will you do?" Gale could not answer.That was true.What could she do?She had never been able to do anything to Shawn. She even had to fake a suicide just to get away from him.Shawn sighed as he put his forehead against hers, grabbing her hand tightly."Galey, if you want to leave, I'll let you go. I won't hurt you anymore…" Shawn's breath brushed against her face. "Do you know how powerless I felt
"Our daughter will definitely recover."That was his promise. It was a guarantee!Gale shot him a quick glance.Her lips still tasted of him, and it made her heart flutter.Shawn, with a head full of silver hair, was practically a monster!He looked like a supermodel from a magazine!"Shawn, you…" Thinking about it, Gale could not help but ask, "Why aren't you asking me how I survived the sea? Why aren't you asking me where I've been the past four years?""Galey, when you want to tell me, you will."He would not force her.He would not make any requests.After losing her once, Shawn understood what love meant even more.He loved Gale.However, loving someone did not mean he needed to have her. It meant he wanted her to be truly happy.Shawn had learned to let go. That was what Gale taught him when she jumped off that yacht.She would push her to death if he did not let go.How could she be willing to let her die?"The doctors are already discussing the surgery. If eve
"Alright, alright. Nicole, you're so brave."Gale forgot about anything else when she saw the mark. She felt her heart ache.She really wanted to take the pain in Nicole's place.Gale looked down and blew at it. "Does it still hurt?""Not anymore!" Nicole answered as she shot Shawn a cheeky wink.Even though Nicole looked incredibly cute and obedient, and was a girl everyone liked, she was actually quite similar to Joshua inside.She was a troublemaker with a lot of tricks up her sleeve!While Gale was in the washroom, Nicole slipped over to Shawn."Daddy, I saw you kissing Mommy just now! The nurse saw it too!"It was very easy to see what was happening inside through the glass on the door.Shawn pinched her nose. "Didn't you tell me that earlier? She got angry, so she needed a kiss.""Yes, yes. Daddy, you're so smart!" Nicole nodded."I'm not as smart as you.""Daddy, you need to work harder. Mommy doesn't like you, did you notice?" Nicole said seriously.Shawn knelt do
Shawn answered incredibly quickly.So much so that Gale shot him another look.She was doubtful but did not say anything else as she took her pajamas into the toilet.The shower could be heard.Shawn walked to the balcony and called the housekeeper."Hello, Mr. Wood.""Go get something done right now. Have Winnie leave Temperley Hall. She's not to step foot in it ever again," he ordered. The housekeeper asked curiously, "Mr. Wood, are you kicking her out?""Yes."Gale was back. There was no longer any need for Winnie's face to soothe his heart.So, there was no longer any reason for Winnie to exist!The housekeeper did not know what had happened, but the housekeeper never liked Winnie anyway!Shawn was finally wise enough to chase that woman away!The housekeeper said, "Alright, Mr. Wood. But Ms. Nightingale might not agree.""Try everything. Ask her how much money she wants. Give her whatever she wants. If she won't agree to money, then force her out.""Understood, I w
Shawn actually spoke up for her.Nicole pouted, "Why can't my Mommy and Daddy sleep together? Am I always different from everyone else? They are studying in kindergarten, but I'm in the hospital. They…"Gale stopped her. "Alright, Nicole. Your Daddy and Mommy are the same as everyone else's. Of course we'll sleep on the same bed!"Nicole's eyes lit up. "Really?""Of course."Shawn looked at her. "Galey…""Shut up. Stop trying to act like you're a good boy!" she whispered.There was no way he was not happy about it.He had forced a kiss on her just now. Was sleeping in the same bed not exactly what he wanted?Shawn got up from the sofa, looking like he was in a difficult position. "Since it's what Nicole wants, I have no choice but to agree."Gale really wanted to roll her eyes!That was all an act!She turned to blow her hair, ignoring him. She really did not want to get on the bed.Shawn patiently waited for her on the bed.The fragrance of her hair constantly blew over.
Slowly.He was no longer the old him that would only care about himself.Gale did not say anything about it.In truth, she felt like hugging was even more intimate than kissing.Their bodies were right next to each other. His warmth completely surrounded her, giving her a sense of safety.She still loved him.She loved him but hated him too.In the quiet, Gale slowly got sleepy as well.Suddenly, a smooth object hung around her next. Shawn's hands were behind her as his fingers moved.She opened her eyes. "Shawn…"Gale touched her neck."It's the pendant. I've had it all this time. I can finally put it on you after all this time."Gale touched the pendant, and she suddenly felt awake.Back then, Aurum had asked for the pendant.She did not know why, but she did not ask. She gave it to him anyway.Yet, the pendant appeared in Shawn's hands at that moment.Gale suddenly thought of something."Back then, the corpse that was found was already completely bloated up by the w
"Where is Mr. Wood? Tell me, I'll go find him!"The housekeeper replied blankly, "Mr. Wood is not someone you can meet whenever you want. Ms. Nightingale, I advise you to be more sensible. How much do you want from us? Name your price.""I don't want money, I want Mr. Wood!""If you do this, you won't get anything at all." The housekeeper glanced at the time before saying, "You must leave Temperley Hall before dawn, Ms. Nightingale. Your time is running out."The sky was bright.Unexpectedly, Winnie was more difficult than she imagined.The housekeeper said to the bodyguard, "Drag her out. She is not allowed to step in again.""Yes."Winnie screamed frantically, "No, you can't drive me away, I want to be the woman of the house, I'm Mr. Wood's favorite woman, he always looks at my face every day… You let go..."The sound faded away.Winnie was directly thrown out of the Imperial Garden.The door clanged shut.No matter how Winnie shouted or knocked on the door, it was useles
