"Alright, alright, don't let your mood get affected by something like this." Winnie held Shawn's hand before she said, "Mr. Lefting, it's rare for you to be at Temperley Hall. Why don't you stay and eat with us? Since Nicole and Joshua haven't seen each other for a while, they'll probably take some time."How could Aurum be in the mood to eat?He wanted to leave that instant!However, he still needed to bring Joshua back, so he was forced to sit there.Gale would stay in Temperley Hall, and Peter would not be able to take care of Joshua alone, so Joshua would return home with him."I'm busy. I'll come back to get Joshua later," Aurum said.After that, he held Gale's hand and headed out.Gale was a bit hesitant, but Aurum seemed quite decisive, holding her hand and refusing to let go.There was nothing she could do but follow him.No one noticed Shawn narrowing his eyes slightly. His gaze was full of possessiveness as he stared at Aurum's hand, wanting to slice it off!Who gav

Aurum said, "Nicole can't recognize you now. It's only temporary. Winnie could not keep this up forever!"Gale lowered her head. "I used to think so too. But now, Nicole is heavily influenced by Shawn too…"She still remembered Shawn's promise.It seemed to be still echoing in her ears.He said to leave it to him.He said to trust him.Trust him like she trusted Aurum.Gale originally planned to do this, but… Shawn was really not worthy.He would never treat her with care like Aurum did, who always thought of her needs before his!Aurum frowned. "Shawn is really acting abnormal."Gale wanted to tell him that maybe all of this had something to do with Natalie when she saw him deep in thought.However, she could not bring herself to say it.It was better not to let Aurum think wildly without any concrete proof.After all, he and Natalie were destined to be lifelong partners.Gale smiled. "Mr. Lefting, your wedding with Ms. Yarn is coming soon. You are so busy, and you still
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 942
From the moment he knew that Gale was the one he was looking for, he had already decided to end it!He would only marry the one he wanted!If he could not get married, he would die alone forever!Never compromise, never make do!Gale blinked, still a little bit unresponsive.No wonder when she mentioned marriage, Aurum's eyes dodged a little. It turned out that he had found someone he really wanted to marry."Does Natalie know about this?" Gale asked, "What are you going to tell her? And the Yarn family… Any parent who has lost their child would want to find their child as soon as possible!""I'm still thinking about how to tell Natalie and the Yarn family this news."Gale thought for a while and said, "Although this matter is a bit cruel to Natalie, she is an adopted daughter and has occupied Ms. Yarn's identity for more than 20 years. She should return her position to the original owner. As for the Yarn family, they definitely hope that their daughter will come back as soon a

"Hmm?"Joshua said, "I don't think your eyesight is very good. She can't be compared to my mommy."Shawn raised his eyebrows deeply. "Molly?""Yes, that is right.""I've never met your mommy. Unless you show me the photo, how would I know that she is better than Winnie?" Shawn replied.Joshua said sharply, "I won't let my mommy compare with a woman like Winnie! Winnie is not worthy at all! Bah, bah, bah!"Seeing that he disliked Winnie so much, Shawn was curious. "Why do you hate Winnie so much?"Winnie did not do anything to Joshua. This should be the first meeting between the two."Who doesn't hate bad women?" Joshua leaned against the door, arms folded, looking cool. "Like Snow White's stepmother."The corner of Shawn's mouth twitched into a faint smile. "How do you know that she is a bad woman?"The brat's eyes are quite venomous."She has a good relationship with Aunt Natalie. Bad girls play with bad girls." Joshua sighed and shook his head again and again. "Uncle Shawn

Shawn sighed deeply. "It seems that you are much more cowardly than I imagined."These words immediately excited Joshua."What task? Tell me!" Joshua straightened his back. "There is nothing I can't accomplish! Isn't it just to deal with bad women!? I can do it!"He kept motioning with his hands.Shawn took out a bag of powder and handed it to Joshua's palm."What's this?""Poison."Joshua shook his hand and almost threw it out."Take it easy. Or are you afraid now and regret it?" Shawn said.Joshua held it tightly in his palm. "Bah! I'm not afraid, let alone regret it!""Very good."Joshua was quite clever and had already guessed what Shawn was thinking. "You want me... to poison Aunt Natalie?"Shawn said, "That's right. This is a chronic poison. It needs to be taken for a long time, and it will have a certain effect after a long period of time.""Will she die?""No."Joshua blinked. "Then why do you want her to take this poison?""Although I won't die, it will be more

Joshua rolled his eyes and replied, "Because I'm playing a game.""What game?""Let's see when Uncle Shawn finds out that I'm his son." Joshua blinked slyly. "Nicole, you can't tell anyone, and don't tell Mommy either. I want Uncle Shawn to find out by himself!"Nicole was still puzzled. "Why didn't you tell Daddy directly?""That's so boring. did not we have a plan of 'finding a father' before, but now we change it to a plan of 'finding a son' and let Uncle Shawn play as well!"Only then did Nicole nod her head, half understanding.She tugged on his sleeve and asked, "Do you feel that Mommy...is like a different person?""No, Nicole. Mommy will always be our Mommy, the one who loves us the most, don't think about it."Joshua did not want Winnie, a bad woman, to ruin Mommy's image in Nicole's heart!Nicole would regain her sobriety one day! She would know how much Mommy had sacrificed for her and how much she had been wronged!"Okay, okay, Nicole, I will often come to the Tem

Winnie affectionately took Shawn's arm. "Shawn, tonight...ah!"Before she finished speaking, Shawn suddenly grabbed her by the neck.However, in just a few seconds, Shawn let go."Tonight, you will feel better," he said in a low voice.Winnie heard it and said in a coy tone, "I hate you... didn't you bully me enough last night? It still hurts now!""How could it be enough? I wish I could torture you every night, so that you can't get out of bed every day!" Shawn said.Cruelty flashed in his eyes.Winnie misread the situation and felt that this was an honor.If this trend continues, she will be pregnant soon!Shawn let go of her and strode toward the villa.As the night darkened, the mansion gradually became extremely quiet.Except for the bodyguards on patrol, everyone rested.The light in the master bedroom went out with a snap."Shawn, you turned off the lights again... Where are you, are you still here?""Actually, I really want to see what you look like.""Shawn?"S

In pain.Why was she in such pain?The one who did something wrong was clearly Shawn!"Mommy, Mommy..." Nicole suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the bedroom, "I'm scared..."Hearing her daughter's voice, Gale came back to her senses.She struggled to get up from the ground and walked quickly to the bedside. "Nicole, Mommy is here, don't be afraid."Gale patted Nicole's shoulder softly and hummed a lullaby.Nicole was very familiar with the unique fragrance on her body, and soon, Nicole's frown slowly relaxed, and she gradually fell into a peaceful dream."Sleep, sleep, sleep peacefully..."The whole process lasted only a few minutes, and Gale successfully comforted Nicole.After all, she was her own daughter, and she knew how to take care of Nicole better than anyone else.It was just a long night... How could Gale spend it alone?She could not sleep.When she closed her eyes now, her mind was filled with Winnie's moans.Gale looked at the closed door and took a d

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
