All Chapters of Skeletons Of The Marital Closet: Chapter 1681 - Chapter 1690

Upon hearing this, Joe's expression changed. He stroked his chin. "There's some truth to that."He and Summer had indeed progressed from friendship to something more, but it seemed they were still one step away from a relationship. During their time away, they spent almost every moment together. The roads on the construction site were rough; he had helped her, held her hand, and even carried her at times. Yet, their relationship remained stagnant.Shawn pointed out bluntly, "Are you waiting for Summer to confess her feelings to you?""How could that be! I dare not even think about it!"With Summer's personality, if she were to confess first, it would be like the sun rising from the west. She appeared straightforward and open, but that was in work and friendship. She was hesitant and not as courageous as Gale when it came to love. Summer was just direct on paper.Shawn patted his shoulder, "Do you know what to do now?"Joe frowned. "Let me think it over. Don't rush me."Truth be

"Hehehe..."Joe sat down beside Summer. Gale realized that Joe was also there. So, it had to mean that he was the one to bring Shawn here.Summer was not drunk, but she was definitely tipsy. The alcohol was getting to her, making her a bit excited and carefree.She slapped his shoulder heartily. "Joe, my man, didn't expect you to show up in the end. Too bad Gale and I are already done eating. How about we grab a couple of beers?""You're quite something, Summer, going straight for the alcohol?""Just a little treat, just a little treat. You and Mr. Wood must have finished eating too, so let's have a drink together to liven things up," Summer replied.Joe looked at her flushed face and the scent of alcohol in her breath, wrinkling his brows in resignation. He did not dislike her alcohol breath; in fact, he found it quite pleasant."Come on! Waiter, bring another crate of alcohol!" Summer called out."Sure thing.""This alcohol is nice. Gale and I always have a couple of glasses

"She's right." Shawn reached out and took her hand, gently caressing it. Summer's drink was already empty, and she swiftly poured herself another glass, continuing, "I know you men, especially high-quality men like you."She pointed at Shawn, paused, then moved her hand as if to point at Joe but stopped midway."Tall, rich, and handsome, you've got all three qualities. Women flock to you in droves. Even if you don't want them to, they keep coming, thinking they might be the lucky ones to catch your eye.""You can resist temptation today, but what about tomorrow? The year after? Ten years from now?""If you're married, you should uphold your values and cherish your wife. Don't look at foxy women!""Loving your wife brings you good fortune, you know?"Shawn's serious expression from earlier had softened. In fact, he even wore a faint smile.Summer's words were not directed at him; they were clearly aimed at Joe.It must also be Summer's true concerns. Joe was also a well-known

"I promise I'm not just playing around." Joe looked at her. "I want to be with you for a long time, forever and ever. So, I won't mess around."He was not after momentary pleasure. He wanted a lifetime of stability.He wondered if Summer heard him, but she lowered her head and got into the car, obediently fastening her seatbelt.The night was hazy. It was already dawn.After taking a shower, Gale climbed into bed and laid down cautiously, trying to minimize her presence. She was afraid of attracting Shawn's attention!She lay with her back to him and closed her eyes when she heard Shawn ask, "Going to sleep?""Mm! Goodnight!"Shawn spoke lightly, "Sobered up yet?"Gale sulked, "I only had a little, why would I need to sober up? You're overthinking it.""Is that so? Why are you sleeping so far away? Come over."Gale slowly moved toward him, reluctantly."Come closer."She moved a little closer."Even closer."Gale stopped moving. "I'm already quite close. If I get any clos

She still had not fully recovered from that dream. How could she suddenly dream about being pregnant? What was going on? Thinking about it, the chance of Gale being pregnant was quite high. Shawn had not missed a night with her, and last night was a rare night where she got some peaceful sleep.Did he take precautions? Gale was puzzled. She did not know if he did or not! Every time the lights were turned off, she did not dare to look at him directly. How would she know these details! "Shawn!" Gale suddenly called out. Shawn, who had just entered the bathroom, walked out again. "What's up?" "You..." She hesitated. "Hmm?" "Did you... at that time, um... take precautions?" Shawn raised an eyebrow. "That time?" "Yes, that time." "Which time?" She bit her lip. "Stop pretending!" Shawn finally understood her expression. "Precautions?" "Yes!" "Why, why are you suddenly asking this?""Just asking, did you or didn't you?" He asked, "Don't you know?" "I don't
