"Uncle Lefting!" The moment Aurum walked in, Joshua ran out. "You're back? Are you tired? Let me make you some tea and massage your legs and tell you stories and turn the TV on…"Joshua's mouth really was a rare talent.He did not even seem to need to breathe.Normally, Aurum would joke around with him, but Aurum was in no mood that day.Joshua asked, "Did you see Nicole? Is she better? Is the surgery successful? What about my mommy? Is she tired? Did she get skinner? When can I see the two of them?"Aurum looked at him with a serious expression.Joshua's smile slowly disappeared. His face turned incredibly serious as well. "What is it, Uncle Lefting. Did something happen?""Yes."Joshua was suddenly incredibly anxious. "Who's mistreating them? Tell me now. I'll go help them!"Aurum picked Joshua up and put Joshua on his leg, telling Joshua everything.At that moment, he did not treat Joshua as a little kid. Instead, he seriously told Joshua everything, analyzing the situatio

"Female... lunatic?""Yes, I'm asking the guards about it."Natalie's expression was a little unnatural for a moment.'Isn't that Winnie?'She immediately looked at the security guard with a warning in her eyes, warning them not to forget what she told him that day!Natalie was in charge of the household affairs and had the right to make decisions, and the housekeeper reports solely to her, so she still has great prestige in the Lefting family.After a short period of panic, Natalie quickly calmed down. "Aurum, why did you suddenly ask about such a trivial matter? She's just a lunatic. Send her away, or let the security guards not come near next time they see her.""Have you seen her?" Aurum asked.Natalie shook her head. "No. I've been busy with various things for our year-end wedding, so I'm not at home much."Aurum did not doubt her and looked at the security again. "Answer my question."The security guard gulped and said, "Mr. Lefting...That's just a crazy person, I will

At this moment, she does not have the viciousness and cruelty when she was with Winnie at all!Who would have thought that it was because of her that Nicole acted that way, and she was the one who hid Winnie!No one thought that she was the mastermind behind the scenes!Aurum had no idea that the woman next to him was the scariest one of them all!In the maid room.Joshua sat cross-legged on the bed.Zoe asked, "Still awake? What are you thinking about? Joshua, when the time is right, Mr. Lefting will definitely take you to see Mommy and Nicole.""Mrs. Zoe, I was thinking of something else.""What?"Joshua touched his chin, looking like a mature young man. "Aurum asked the security guards about the mad woman today, I think… that security guard was not telling the truth."Zoe was a little puzzled. "How do you know that?"Joshua analyzed, "I saw it! When the security guard was about to answer at the beginning, his eyes were a little flustered, but he didn't dodge or flinch. Bu

Gale knew that Nicole did not want to see her, but she could not bear to leave, so she could only watch at the door every day.Nicole whispered, "Daddy, that auntie is outside every day, right?"He was startled. "Well, she cares about you very much."Nicole said, "I don't need her to care for me. Daddy, don't bother with her.""Why?""Because you stay with that woman every day. What will Mommy do? Do you want her and not Mommy? My heart is with Mommy. If you don't love her, I won't love you either."Only then did Shawn understand why Nicole was so indifferent to him.It turned out to be because... he and Gale were too close.However, how would he explain it to Nicole?The auntie outside was Nicole's real mother.Winnie in front of her was just a counterfeit, a stand-in!"Daddy, I hate that you are with her. You beat Mommy, you don't care about Mommy anymore. You are indifferent to her. You are not a good husband."After a pause for a few seconds, Nicole said again, "She is
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 824
If this continued, her heart would be riddled with holes,, and she would not be able to bear it anymore before Nicole regained consciousness.She did not want to face Nicole's indifference and rejection every day, and she did not want to see Winnie take over her identity!Gale bent down, picked up Nicole, and left.Gale said, "Nicole, you will remember me. From now on, you can only stay with me. I could not let you and Winnie live anymore… I know this is going to hurt you. It is a kind of torture. But it is better for us and better than me guarding the door every day!"She could not sit still and wait for death. She did not want to go on like this anymore!"You can only look at me. If you look at me every day, maybe you will remember... Otherwise, Winnie will continue brainwashing you. When will you be able to remember me!"Nicole struggled violently.Nicole shouted, "Let me go… Don't take me, Mommy! Daddy! Where is this bad woman taking me? Come and save me!"Nicole's feet kep

Winnie took advantage of the situation and grabbed Nicole's arms.Therefore, Nicole's lower body was on Gale's side, but her upper body tilted to Winnie's side again.Winnie pulled hard. All she wanted was to snatch Nicole away! She did not care if it would hurt Nicole!Soon, red marks appeared on Nicole's arms."Wahhh..." Nicole could not hold back and cried in pain, "Bad woman, vixen, let go. I want to go back to my mommy's arms, don't take me…"Winnie echoed, "That's right! Let go!"The more she talked, the harder she pulled!Gale looked down and felt that Nicole's arm was about to be dislocated!"Wahhh..." Nicole cried louder and louder, "It hurts. It hurts so much, please let me go..."This scene stabbed Gale's heart.Even if she wanted to take Nicole away again and prevent Winnie from seeing Nicole, at this moment, she could not bear to see Nicole being dragged.If this continued, Nicole would really get hurt!Winnie was reluctant to let go. Only Gale, her real mother

After comforting Nicole, Winnie stood up. "Get out, don't talk in front of the child."Shawn was a little surprised that she was so cooperative and willing to talk.He had always been cautious and only felt that Winnie's anomaly was very strange.He was afraid she had come up with some new tricks!"What do you want to talk about? Are you blackmailing us with Nicole?" Shawn asked.Winnie smiled. "Didn't Gale ask me who would snatch Nicole away from her? I plan to answer her question!""How can you tell the truth!"Shawn saw through her trick immediately!Winnie shrugged. "Forget it. Let's not talk about it. Mr. Wood doesn't believe me, so I don't need to speak."Gale looked at her fixedly. "Say it.""Okay."Winnie walked outside the door.Gale raised his foot to follow, but Shawn held her back. "Gale, she's not that kind, don't be fooled by her.""Shawn..." She pushed his hand away. "I really don't know what else I can do."He pursed his lips and could only warn, "Don't be

"But Shawn, you are the only person I have let my guard down.""You are the one who has the best chance of attacking... I can't kill my own daughter myself, right?"Shawn asked deeply, "Why would I harm my own daughter?""You want a child!" Gale's voice rose unconsciously. "You gave Nicole shares, and the old man also gave her his. You want to keep her, you..."Her voice choked, and she trembled unconsciously."Gale, do you know what you're talking about?""Only you could do it. Winnie is the woman who is by your side… You join hands with her to take away my Nicole..."This thought completely crushed Gale.Her last glimmer of hope was completely shattered.If the person manipulating all of this was Shawn... What could she do?What chance could she have of getting her daughter back?She was totally desperate!Shawn was about to speak, but Winnie was one step ahead. "Congratulations, Gale, you have finally been enlightened.""Winnie!" Shawn roared angrily, "You're sowing dis

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
