At that time, it was time to deal with Natalie and Winnie!If Winnie did not succeed in persuading Natalie, it meant Winnie had lost her value.What would Shawn do with a useless pawn?He can just tear his face off with Natalie!Winnie can just die without a place to bury her!Shawn drove back home.It was already late at night.Only the street lamps in the garden were still on.He stood downstairs, looking at the window of Nicole's room...the lights were still on.The curtains were drawn, but the light reflected Gale's figure sitting by the window.She was lying halfway on the sofa, her feet dangling from the armrests of the sofa. Her little feet kept shaking, and she was holding a book in her hand, slowly flipping through it.There is a kind of beauty and peace.Shawn just looked up with a slight smile on his lips.When you love someone, there will be tenderness in your eyes.Gale read a book, drank water, got up, and the shadow flickered to the tip of his heart."Gale

After a few seconds of silence outside, Shawn's voice sounded again, "Then let me see you.""I'm going to bed.""That means you haven't slept yet." Shawn knocked on the door with his fingers. "Open it."Gale was speechless.'Why is this person so overbearing and unreasonable!'Speechless!Shawn raised his voice again. "Gale, open the door. I have a way to open the door you know."This was his home, and he had the key.If the keys would not work, he could knock on the door louder.However, that would wake up Nicole!Gale gritted her teeth. He was clearly threatening her!"I'll count to three. One, two..."There was no other way. Gale could only open the door and looked at him irritatedly. "Shawn, can you stop being so annoying?!"He stood upright at the door, looking at her, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised with no hints of anger.He somewhat looked a little…happy? Gale just felt baffled.She said, "You seem to be in a good mood. You went to see Winnie, and

He was the one who knocked on the door first, he was the one who insisted on seeing her, and he was the one who suddenly turned around and left after saying good night.What kind of weird thing was he up to!Gale was so angry that she turned her head and went back to her room, and closed the door too!…The next day.When Shawn came to the office, he received a message…"Mr. Wood, Winnie went to look for Natalie, and she just got out of the hospital."His eyes flickered. "Keep an eye on her.""Yes."As he expected, Winnie was moved under his gentle offensive and repeated assurances.She thought that she had successfully hypnotized him long ago, so she could sit back and relax, and there was no need for Nicole as a chess piece.Winnie would definitely be willing to send Nicole away and make him happy!This was the best way.It depended on that woman, Natalie... Was she sly enough to detect it?Everything was under Shawn's control.In Aurum's home.Natalie was sitting on
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 988
The most important thing for Natalie now was to concentrate on organizing her own wedding! She did not have the time to deal with Winnie's affairs.She also understood how dangerous this matter was.Once discovered, she would be ruined!Now that Winnie lived in Temperley Hall as she wished, and Gale was no longer superior and suffered all kinds of humiliation, Natalie's dissatisfaction in her heart disappeared.She did not want to meddle anymore.Shawn was not an ordinary person. If she made another move, even if it was to dispel the spell, it might expose herself.Natalie could not lose Aurum!Winnie could no longer keep her friendly smile. "Natalie, what do you mean you won't help me anymore from now on?""I've helped you enough! What will Shawn do if he finds out about me? Can you take responsibility?""Why would you even suspect you? He trusts me so much now!"Natalie waved her hand. "I am done talking."She was about to get up, but to her surprise, Winnie was one step f
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 989
She would never allow any mistakes!Natalie pointed at Winnie's nose and yelled, "How dare you! If you speak a word to Aurum, I will tear your mouth apart!""You know it's good to be afraid! We are on the same bridge, and no one is nobler than the other! Why are you dragging me down when I have been nothing but courteous?"Natalie was so angry that her face was crooked.She always thought she could control Winnie, but she never expected that it would bite her back one day!Winnie said, "I don't want to see Nicole, and neither does Shawn, so Nicole must regain consciousness and leave with Gale! You find the witch. The sooner, the better!"After that, Winnie picked up her bag and left."Ahhh!"When Winnie left the room, she heard Natalie's screams from inside, accompanied by the sound of smashing things.She laughed happily.'Natalie, I bet you had never expected this!'Hehe!The servants looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.Winnie got into the car and drove

After all, they were childhood sweethearts."You're getting married soon… you look well." Shawn raised his eyebrows slightly.Aurum sat down opposite him. "Hmm""You are getting married soon. Did you forget that you are going to marry Natalie soon?"Aurum suddenly fell silent.This silence was eerie.However, before Shawn could ask any more questions, Aurum said, "Mr. Wood, those things are nothing to me.""Marriage is a big life event."Aurum looked into his eyes. "Is divorce a major event in life?"Shawn narrowed his eyes deeply.Divorce?Aurum said, "Mr. Wood, you and Gale have reached this point. I think it's time to stop here and draw a conclusion. You have Winnie by your side now, so you have to let her go. There was no divorce four years ago. It's about time to get one."Shawn leaned back in his chair lazily. "Are you here to persuade me to divorce?""You and Gale should have divorced. You made a promise."Shawn sneered. "What I hate the most is when others tell me

So Aurum ignored his feelings.However, it had been four years since Gale came back from the county. When he knew that she was adopted by Gale's parents, when he heard that she had a birthmark on her waist...The feelings that had been suppressed for four years suddenly surged out like a volcano erupting, almost submerging Aurum's whole body.It turned out that his intuition was not wrong.It turned out that he loved her.He had always loved her. She was still her, the daughter of the Yarn family back then.Aurum began to believe in fate and believed that fate had its own arrangements.Shawn could not sit still.He slapped his palm on the table, shaking everything on the table with great force and extremely loud sound!When Fiona outside the door heard it, she pushed the door open and rushed in, "Mr. Wood!""Get out!"Fiona was stunned for a moment, seeing that Mr. Wood and Mr. Lefting both had extremely bad expressions, and knew that this situation was as simple as it looke
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 992
Just one sentence from Shawn…"Gale, at least in the legal sense, is my wife! As long as I don't get a divorce, you will never get her!"Aurum had a disappointed expression on his face. "It's been four years, and I thought you could understand a lot of truths from her disappearance. I didn't expect you to get worse and even more unreasonable!"Shawn could not explain it to him.Even if he could explain it, he would not be bothered to explain it to Aurum.Gale was the only one he would explain himself to.He was only responsible to Gale.Shawn sat down again. "Aurum, you are too naive. Even if Gale and I divorce and she is free, do you think you can completely separate from Natalie?"Everyone knew how much Natalie loved Aurum.The two families had a marriage contract since childhood, and Natalie has been with Aurum.There were also other nobles from aristocratic families who were ignorant and wanted to pursue Natalie, but she refused them all.She even said that she would onl

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
