Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 94
Summer made a face and dragged Gale into the office.Joe was left speechless. Joe was just useful for the moment, and they ignored him once the matter was settled."Alas, women are trouble."In the office.Gale said, "Thank you, Summer. After so many years, if something happens, you are still the one who will stand up for me.""Nonsense, aren't we friends? All I want is for you to be honest and not hide anything from me. Friendship only asks for honesty.""Okay."Summer looked at her. "Although Susan doesn't like you, she won't go to this extent to bother you every now and then. Are there any other grudges between you and her?"After a few seconds of silence, Gale told what had happened that night."I don't know who that man is, but I'm pregnant with his child. Susan and the dean both know it, but they won't tell me... She asked me to abort the child.""No wonder..." Summer was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. "So you, you are pregnant now?""Yes.""No wonde

It turned out it was sent by Lucas Wood.Gale accepted it.Lucas always thought that the child belonged to Shawn, and Shawn could not bear to deny it...She could not even imagine what his expression would be like when he found out.On that day, without the protection of the old man, it would be the day when the child was lost.She wanted to divorce Shawn quickly and find out the truth.Only in this way could she completely escape the danger of the present. To save the child and to save the parent!Gale understood that she had too much to do.In the evening, returning to Temperley Hall, Gale sat under the lamp again and began to piece together the jade bracelet.She tried glue, but it had not worked as it had not stayed together well.There would be obvious marks that damage the jade itself.Shawn had not come back that night, and she was happy too.She guessed he was at Susan's place?Gale wished Shawn would stay with Susan every day and night!"Madam, rest for a while

The housekeeper raised his index finger and put it to his mouth, signaling her not to say anything.If someone overheard their conversation, the housekeeper and Gale would be finished.After the housekeeper left, Gale could not calm down for a long time.According to what the housekeeper said just now, the Wood family is the top wealthy family in Sea City. It looks glorious, but there are many unknown things hidden inside... For example… the fact that Paula is Shawn's stepmother.However... Gale had never heard Shawn mention his biological mother.Paula seemed to have been married for a long time, and Shawn disliked her, so he treated her badly. Could it be that Alex Wood's death was caused by the rich and powerful's struggle for power?Gale's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and she felt that something was about to come out.Just then, the phone rang.Her train of thought was interrupted.Gale answered the phone, "Hello, who is it?""Gale, it's me."Sam?Gale glanced

Gale replied, "I didn't have anything romantic to do with him, and we didn't talk about work. It was just meeting a friend.""Friend?""Yes."Shawn gritted his teeth. "Okay, stop being friends!"She was shocked. "Shawn you..."He had already stepped in front of Sam, grabbed his collar, raised his fist, and slammed it down.Heavy and harsh.Sam's nose started to bleed.Sam staggered backward before finally finding his footing, barely standing still."How dare you hit me?" Sam wiped the blood. "Shawn, if you marry her, you should cherish her!""Since you know she is my woman, you should die as soon as possible!""But you don't love her! Why are you torturing her!"Shawn sneered. "This is between her and me. You don't get a turn to give us advice!""If you can't give her the best, give her back to me." Sam's eyes were firm. "I can treat your trash as a treasure!""You wish."He stepped forward again and threw a punch.Sam swayed and started to counterattack with a backhand

"Gale, if you defend Sam like this, it will only make him die faster!"She explained, "I said it all. I am the one who looked for him. My mother... needs his help. "Shawn grabbed her shoulders deeply, lifted her up, and pulled her directly in front of him. "Would you rather go behind my back and beg him, rather than come beg me?""Shawn..." Gale looked at him and asked, "What more do you want from me?" How humble should she be?She had knelt, said please, obeyed him, tried being well-behaved, endured and bore humiliation...Everything that could be done, Gale had done.However, what he gave her was less than one-ten thousandths of what he gave Susan.Susan could buy a bag for hundreds of thousands with his credit cards. What about her?He was unwilling to give money for life-saving medicine.She still owed him money.Shawn squinted deeply. "You haven't tried it. How do you know I won't agree? As long as you are pathetic enough, maybe I will agree!""If you had agreed, I wou

Her voice was firm, and her eyes even more so.Shawn was deeply stunned.Such clear and persistent eyes... inexplicably made him flustered.Gale said, "I still have my life. This is my only and last bargaining chip."Shawn was even more flustered.He suppressed it. "Do you know what you're talking about?""Yes." Gale looked into the depths of his eyes. "Shawn, there is too much between us. Too many grievances and too much hatred. It will always exist and cannot be eliminated if I'm by your side for one more day.""You hate me, hate my father for killing your father, hate me for carrying someone else's child...but the child was conceived before marrying you. From the beginning to the end, I was a victim.""I don't know what I have done wrong to live such a life. Before I met you, I was a girl who lived a happy life and was as bright as ever… I had a bright future."Gale lowered her eyes slightly. "Forget it. I don't want to say too much. Shawn, I will use my life. I will end th

She was determined to die!Gale ran, and Shawn chased behind.He was tall and had long legs, quickly narrowing the distance between them."Stop, Gale!" Shawn roared deeply, his voice drifting to the sky, spreading far. "Guards, stop her!"Panic swept him, and his voice trembled.Gale ran away with her skirts in hand.She gritted her teeth, slammed past the security guard with her shoulder, and went straight for the lake!"Gale!"Shawn's voice was just behind her. He almost caught up with her!Gale took the biggest leap, jumped onto the fence with her light and agile figure, stepped on it with one foot, and then jumped down without hesitation.Shawn ran over quickly and reached out to grab her.The sound of fabric tearing sounded.He only grabbed the hem of Gale's skirt. The fabric tore, leaving a piece in his hand.With a plop, water splashed everywhere.Gale fell into the water like a mermaid.Beautiful, yet so tragic.The moonlight shone brightly on the water, and the

He carefully tucked her wet hair behind her ears and gently stroked her cheeks with his fingers."Mr. Wood..."He seemed to be unable to hear them and kept his eyes on Gale.It was not until the ambulance came whistling that he got up, put her in, and rushed her to the hospital.Shawn seemed to have forgotten that he was also wet.While pushing Gale into the emergency room, the doctor asked, "Did you fall into the water?""Yes." Shawn replied."Does she usually have any acute illness? The family needs to be informed."He paused. He knew nothing about Gale's physical condition.The doctor urged, "Come on, I need to save her."Shawn said deeply, "She... is a pregnant woman." The doctor was stunned for a moment, then nodded.The door slammed shut.He stood at the door of the emergency room with soaked shoes and water dripping from his sleeves."Mr. Wood, I brought clean clothes. You should put them on first...""No." He raised his hand and waved it away. "I'll wait for her t

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
