Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 874

“Yes, with the ***.”

Shawn finally understood.

His earlier expression of **was suddenly incredibly bright.

“I understand.”

On the surface, he still remained calm. “She’s still asleep. Have the kitchen prepare a few kinds of NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

breakfast for her.”

“Yes, yes, I still remember Mrs. Wood’s tastes. Mr. Wood, don’t worry”

Shawn had a smirk on his lips. The sun that day felt incredibly good.

The weather was good, and he was in a good mood too.

Shawn suddenly felt like he had fully recovered!

Gale slept very deeply. Taking care of Shawn by herself the whole night had been too exhausting, so she did not want to wake up.

She knew that she was sleeping, but her eyes refused to open.

By the time she woke up, it was already incredibly bright outside.

Her stomach rumbled.

Gale sat up from the bed before realizing something was wrong. Why was she on the bed?

Was she not just napping by the side?

Wait, where was Shawn?

He was missing.

Gale hurriedly went down. When she was at the end of the stairs, she tripped from her hurry and lunged forward.

“Ah!”

Gale looked at the incoming floor and thought that she was in for a massive fall!

Gale **her eyes tightly.

Yet, the pain she was waiting for did not come. She fell right into a solid and warm embrace.

“Did you think that you were taking advantage of taking care of me the whole night? Is that why

you tripped? So I can take care of you?” Shawn grabbed her firmly.

Gale looked up. “What are you saying?!”

“You’re already so old, how could you trip going down the stairs?”

She stubbornly answered, “I’m clearly fine right now.”

Gale pushed him away, standing up and mumbling. “You really don’t hold back with your words. I was just going to thank you, but it looks like there was no need!”

They were both obstinate people.

Proud.

They had a very strong sense of pride.

Shawn said, “I was worried that you would just decide to stay here and refuse to leave. You were making things so obvious.”

Gale said, “Please, I don’t want to stay here at all! Are you better now? You already seem fine. Alright, I hope you’ll recover soon. Bye-bye!”

He did not even thank her. What kind of person is he?

Gale held back the anger in her heart.

She quickly walked out, not wanting to stay there at all.

If the housekeeper had not called for her and even had the driver go over, Gale would not have bothered with Shawn at all!

She had just taken two steps forward when she felt a hand around her waist. Shawn reached out and pulled her into his arms.

His chest was against her back, and his chin was on her shoulder as he sighed. “Galey…”

He was trying to anger her and make her leave.

He wanted to be ruthless and hurt her heart.

That way, once Winnie ‘controlled’ him, she would not be too sad when he did some things to hurt her.

Yet, Shawn noticed that he was not able to do it at all.

Even though his reasoning told him that he needed to carry out his plan to save Nicole and that he needed to be ruthless, Gale was the only person his heart would always soften for.

He was even able to be ruthless to himself.

When he saw that she was about to fall, he did not hesitate at all, immediately running over to catch her as if by instinct.

He was incredibly worried that she would get hurt!

Gale merely felt like Shawn was incredibly strange
