Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 24

Gale opened the car door and went in.

“Are you injured?”

She shook her head.

Shawn snorted coldly and said, “You are quite clever. You know how to protect yourself.”

“I was close to getting injured,” Gale said, subconsciously wanting to touch her lower abdomen. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

When she thought that Shawn was beside her, her movements stopped abruptly.

“This is the end of the matter. Don‘t think about going to trouble Susan,” he warned.

“You really look down on me. How can I have the courage.

Susan was his favorite and the woman he promised he would marry. How could she compare?

Only she would suffer.

Gale said, “However, you always hate others touching your things, and I am yours.”

“Susan is different.”

“Because you love her, don‘t you?”

Shawn did not answer.

Love? It does not seem to be.

More of a responsibility.

After all, Susan saved him with her body, which caused some emotions to stir in him.

Shawn pressed his eyebrows deeply, “I‘ve already punished her. What else do you want?”

Gale smiled mockingly. “What can I do? Am I worthy?”

She knows her status. How dare she have other thoughts.

Shawn‘s fingers squeezed her jaw tightly till it hurt.” Don‘t put such a sad expression in front of me!”

He had already supported her and asked Susan to go home and think about what she had done.

Gale still thought it was not enough and showed her temper.

Shawn became even more annoyed!

“Understood,” Gale replied softly.

Then he let go and closed his eyes to rest. However, Shawn could not sleep at all. He was distracted,

and his temples were aching.

Back in the office, he opened the bottom drawer and took out a sachet.

It was the sachet that Gale gave him, which he threw into the trash.

Shawn‘s heart gradually calmed down, and he fell asleep after smelling the faint fragrance of herbs.

After an unknown amount of time, Shawn opened his eyes and saw Joe standing opposite the desk. He was holding the sachet, tossing it around.

Joe asked, “It‘s good. Where did you buy it? Don‘t you have insomnia ? It‘s the first time I‘ve seen you sleep so deeply. I couldn‘t bear to wake you up.”

Shawn coughed deeply. “Bring it here.”

“How can you keep something so wonderful to yourself?”

“I won‘t say it a second time.”

“Okay, okay, I‘ll return it to you.” Joe threw it at him.” The sachet is so precious. Why, which sweetheart gave it to you?”

Shawn‘s face darkened slightly.

Joe clapped his hands and said, “No, you are married. How can you accept gifts from other women? So, it must be Gale!”

Shawn‘s face darkened a bit.

He stuffed the sachet into the drawer, “Get out if you have nothing to say!”

“Looks like I guessed it right!” Joe laughed loudly. “Gale is so ingenious ... Would you mind letting her make one for me?”

“Why do you want one?”

“I don‘t know what‘s in it, but the smell is soothing and soothing.”

Shawn suddenly smiled and said, “Do you want it so badly?”

“Yes.”

He nodded and said, “Okay. Let Gale make one for everyone in the whole company.” Joe was taken aback. “Are you trying to exhaust her to death?”

“Good things are meant to be shared.”

Joe shrugged and said, “Let‘s get down to business. What do you plan to call the jewelry department?”
