What was Aurum hiding from her? Why did he always refuse to tell her anything about Gale?No, she could not allow this to go on. Natalie needed to find out what Aurum and Gale were doing!Looking at Aurum leave, Natalie made sure she was properly hidden. She went back to the house through the alleys, acting as if nothing had happened.The white sedan drove on the streets, finally stopping at the Warm household's garden.The sound of a child filled the yard."I have a beautiful dream. I dream of sowing the sun when I grow up. Just one…" Joshua sang happily.With his mother and grandfather by his side, he was the happiest little boy!Joshua looked at Gale and asked, "Baby, why do they only want to plant the sun and not the moon? There's only one moon in the sky. It's probably very lonely."A child's thoughts were always that naive.Gale laughed. "Then, you can plant a sun and a moon!""Alright! If I do, I'll give them to you! That way, it doesn't matter if it's night or day. Yo

Gale was a bit surprised.Her impression of Aurum was that Aurum was quite busy when it came to work, and Aurum was rarely at home.It was because he was so busy that Natalie and his marriage kept on being delayed, only getting confirmed this year.Aurum should have been spending more time with Natalie when he was at home…Why was Aurum with Joshua?"Joshua, didn't Uncle Lefting keep Aunt Natalie company when he was free?"Even though Gale was not that friendly with Natalie, not even liking each other that much, they'd always maintained a calm and distant relationship. They never talked much to each other and would only nod to each other when they met.Gale still wished Aurum and Natalie a happy life with each other.Aurum was a good man. Natalie could fill up his heart and help him manage the household.She did quite well on that front."She was very busy too. Mrs. Zoe said that she's been working on her marriage with Uncle Lefting," Joshua answered."Oh."Joshua sighed. "

Joshua said confidently, "I'm absolutely sure! I thought she was talking to Uncle Shawn since she kept mentioning the name. She noticed me at the door and even scolded me.""Thankfully, Uncle Lefting came, so she didn't do anything to me. I told Uncle Lefting, and she explained that she was talking to Winnie!""See, bad women are always with other bad women! They're friends. There's no way she's much better than Winnie!"Four years ago, before Shawn completely killed off Winnie's career, Winnie and Natalie had been best friends when Winnie was still a top actress. That was something everyone knew.Yet, four years later, Winnie and Natalie were still communicating!After composing herself, Gale asked, "Joshua, what else do you know? Tell me."Joshua did not hold anything back from her. "I think that Aunt Natalie definitely has something going on with that woman who's controlling Nicole at the hospital. It's not just that phone call; I suspect that she was the one who hid Winnie be

Gale felt like what she said sounded quite familiar.Thinking about it, she suddenly smiled.What she said to Joshua earlier was very much like what Shawn had said to her.Shawn always told her to leave everything to him, that she did not need to do anything. She just needed to focus on living a carefree life.Yet, Gale always asked him what she could help with and what she could do.Shawn wanted her to live without worry.She wanted to do whatever she could.Suddenly, Gale felt the love in Shawn's statements.He loved her.It was like how she loved Joshua. He was her son, and she showed her love by wanting Joshua to live a peaceful and happy life. All the darkness and all the filth needed to stay as far away from him as possible.So, Shawn had always been loving her as well.Loving someone meant wanting to protect them.In the same vein, loving someone also meant wanting to share the burdens of the other party.Love was mutual.It was not one-sided.She shook the jar in

Shawn raised an eyebrow. "With her abilities? She's not capable of fooling me.""Mr. Wood, where did these herbs come from? Did she buy them?""Aurum gave them."Fiona was stunned. "Mr. Lefting?"That was what Shawn had been confused about as well.Aurum had helped Gale wholeheartedly. Aurum had even dared to help Gale fake her death. Gale trusted Aurum quite a lot as well. He had no reason to harm Nicole.If Aurum really wanted to harm Nicole, he would not use the Lefting family name to send the herbs over!It was just too stupid!Yet, who would it be if it was not Aurum?Who switched out Aurum's gift?Fiona thought about it. "Based on what I know, Mr. Lefting is usually quite busy with work. Ms. Yarn is usually the one who deals with all the household affairs."Shawn bit out every word. "Natalie Yarn?"The name triggered some of his memories.Before Gale jumped into the sea, she had been meeting Aurum very frequently. The two of them constantly discussed things, and Nata

So, Shawn was just putting on an act!Winnie thought that she had poisoned and controlled Shawn.In truth, Shawn was very aware. He was slowly trying to turn the tables! He was trying to save Nicole!At that moment, it seemed to be the only plan that could work.It was just that it hurt Gale.Fiona slowly shut the door to the study.Fiona hoped that Shawn and Gale would be able to get past this and properly live together!Shawn shut his eyes as he leaned back.He forgot about Natalie.Thinking about it at that moment, Natalie was just too suspicious!Winnie had disappeared near Aurum's home. Natalie probably hid Winnie!The poison should be from Natlaie as well!Why was she helping Winnie like that?Shawn rubbed his temples. Things were developing too far out of his expectations!However, he needed to cure the poison in Nicole's body no matter what. He needed to protect Gale as well.Those two were his whole world. No harm could come to them!…The next day, Shawn wa
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 910
That was a lot of chemistry!They really were husband and wife.Shawn was a bit proud. Gale was getting smarter.Not bad."Yes, Winnie and she have always been best friends! I suspect that Natalie is the one helping Winnie do this to Nicole. The two of them need to be investigated!" Gale said.Shawn was still very calm. He put the cup down and said, "Who made this tea?"The maid immediately walked forward. "Mr. Wood, I'll get you a new cup.""Shawn!" Gale could not stand it anymore. "I'm talking to you. Are you even listening to me?!"How could he ignore her like that?Gale felt like she was already spoiled by Shawn.The way he treated her had always been special.His warmth, gentleness, and sweetness were only shown to her. He said that she was the only one, so she naturally felt like she really was completely unique in his eyes.She had already gotten used to Shawn's love.Since she was loved, she always did as she pleased in front of her, and he would accept everythin

"Fight? We are her parents, and all have her custody and guardianship rights. These days, Winnie has been taking care of her in every possible way. It seems good to keep it like this."Gale suspected that she had heard wrong.She even wondered if the man in front of her was Shawn!Since the fever, Shawn has become weird, but she can somewhat accept it.Originally, she thought that he would slowly return to normal when he recovered from the fever, but unexpectedly… he became more and more strange and worse! It was like he was a different person!"Winnie is taking good care of her? Shawn, you want Nicole to call Winnie her mommy all the time. Don't you plan to help Nicole!?"Shawn pursed his lips slightly. "Of course, Nicole must wake up. But even if she is sober, she can still call Winnie her mommy."After pausing for a few seconds, he added, "The stepmother is also a mother."Gale's body shook violently, and she almost could not stand still.Stepmother… is also a mother?Shaw

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
