Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 11

Gale was really a natural vixen! “Get up!” Shawn tugged at his tie and spoke sharply. Hearing his voice,

Gale immediately opened her eyes and sat up. “You are back…” He just looked at her with deep eyes

and kept quiet. “What’s wrong?” She looked left and right and explained, “I deliberately slept in the

corner and didn’t block the door!” “Have you had the soup yet?” Gale was stunned for a moment,

“Huh?” “The soup!” She shook her head and answered, “No. Do I have to drink it?” Shawn narrowed

her eyes and said, “What do you think?” Gale got up and answered, “I’ll go now.” She had no idea what

was wrong with him. He kept insisting on her drinking Paula’s soup. ‘What time is it… Can I go to sleep

after finishing the soup?’ In the kitchen, Gale held a spoon and looked at the bowl of seafood soup in

front of her. Shawn stood beside her, supervising her. She closed her eyes and stuffed it into her

mouth, only to smell the fishy smell, making it hard to swallow. Gale could not take another bite after

finishing half of it. “Is this enough?” “What do you think?” “I…” Her stomach was churning before she

could finish her sentence. Gale covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom quickly. She vomited so

badly that she threw up all the food she had just eaten. Hearing the sound coming from the bathroom,

Shawn frowned in disgust. This soup must be drunk to deceive Paula. The housekeeper came over

and said, “Mr. Wood, there is a package for you today, sent from abroad.” “Give it to me.” Shawn

opened it and found that it was the medicine that William sent him, which happened to be a course of

treatment. He glanced at the bowl of soup again, smiled sarcastically, and swallowed the pill

expressionlessly. He had found Susan. He just had to cure his illness and get the divorce three months

later…Everything was in Shawn’s control. Gale came out of the bathroom and clutched her stomach,

still nauseous. What happened to her? Even if the seafood soup had been very fishy, she would not

have vomited so badly. The housekeeper suggested, “Mr. Wood, do you want to ask the family doctor

to take a look at your wife?” “She won’t die!” Gale looked at the housekeeper gratefully and shook her

head gently, not to anger Shawn for her. That night, Gale leaned against the wall and hugged her

knees, and only fell asleep in a daze when it was almost dawn. Downstairs, the kitchen was busy, and

the servants were cleaning. Susan came to Temperley Hall early. She was so excited that she could

not sleep a wink. She put on layers of her best makeup to meet Shawn. “Where’s Mr. Wood?” Susan

walked into the living room and asked loudly, “Why is no one welcoming me? Do you wish to keep your

job?” The housekeeper looked at her and asked, “You are…” “You don’t even know me. Are you really

blind? I’m the future Mrs. Wood!” The housekeeper replied, “Temperley Hall already has a mistress.

Are you going to be another one?” Susan’s eyes widened. “What? Impossible! Mr. Wood himself said

he wanted to marry me! If you don’t believe me, go ask him!” “Mr. Wood is still sleeping.” Susan

immediately rushed upstairs. She had to seize the opportunity, and she would eradicate whoever got in

her way! The housekeeper hurriedly chased after her, yelling, “Strangers are not allowed to go to the

second floor!” Susan did not care. She stormed toward the master bedroom aggressively. Gale was

woken up by the footsteps. When she opened his eyes, she saw Susan’s face before her. “It’s you?”

Susan looked at her. “I just thought you looked familiar.” “Susan?” Gale also looked strange. She has

met Susan several times in the mental hospital. The dean’s daughter was not well educated and liked

fashion and beauty. She was the kind of person who likes to act rich but actually isn’t. At the very least,

Jenny Timothy is still the daughter of a wealthy family. Susan asked, “Why do you sleep on the ground?

I see. Mr. Wood asked you to watch the door, right? You suffered a lot when you were in the mental

hospital” The housekeeper chased after him and explained, “This is our mistress.” “What!? Y…you…”

Susan was shocked. Gale actually married President Wood?! Dad told her that the woman Shawn slept

with was Gale, but since Mr. Wood found Susan, it showed that he did not know that the person that

night was Gale! So he put one and one together and thought they could continue to pretend and keep

up the lie! However, Gale had become Mrs. Wood! How could that be? “Are you okay?” Gale said

softly, “Shawn was sleeping inside. He would be angry if we disturbed his sleep, and we would go

hungry for the day.” Susan gritted her teeth and calmed down. No matter what, she will stubbornly

pretend to be the woman that night. Gale better not try to take her place! Susan replied, “I’m looking for

Shawn. I didn’t think I would run into his watchdog. Get out of the way, I want to go in.” Gale raised his

eyebrows and answered, “Well, at least I am watching my own house. If you want to use that analogy,

you’ve just broken into a private home early in the morning and barked loudly. That just makes you at

most a wild dog that hasn’t been vaccinated.” “You dare scold me?” “I didn’t say you must be one, but I

can’t help it if you have to admit that you are.” Susan had a secret. “Don’t get ahead of yourself just

because you are Mrs. Wood! The person Mr. Wood wants to marry now is me!” As she spoke, Susan

pulled Gale’s quilt, threw it aside, raised her hand, and slapped her in the face. Gale tilted her head and

dodged. Seeing that she missed, Susan was not satisfied and slapped her in the face again, as if she

would not stop until she was hit! Gale held her wrist quickly and ruthlessly, and the other hand quickly

fanned back. She was not easy to bully! However, at this moment, someone said in a stern voice,

“Gale, try if you dare.” Gale was shocked, and all her movements stopped abruptly. Her palm was only

one centimeter away from Susan’s cheek! Shawn had no need to stop her. One sentence was enough

to threaten her to stop. “Mr. Wood!” When Susan saw him, she acted aggrievedly and coquettishly,

“Fortunately, you are here…otherwise, I would definitely be slapped in the face!” Shawn frowned

slightly. “Why are you here?” “I miss you so much that I can’t sleep. Who knew this woman wouldn’t let

me in and called me a dog…” No rest for the wicked. Gale said nothing. She thought Shawn would not

believe such superficial words. Who knew… Shawn said in a deep voice, “Ask her to apologize to you.

Or, you can do whatever you want to her.” She suddenly looked up at him and asked, “Really?” “Why

don’t you believe it?” Shawn asked back, “Can you be compared to her?” Susan leaned on his

shoulder and beamed happily. Shawn’s taste was really unpredictable, it turned out that he really liked

this type of woman.
