Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 940

"Alright, alright, don't let your mood get affected by something like this." Winnie held Shawn's hand before she said, "Mr. Lefting, it's rare for you to be at Temperley Hall. Why don't you stay and eat with us? Since Nicole and Joshua haven't seen each other for a while, they'll probably take some time. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

How could Aurum be in the mood to eat?

He wanted to leave that instant!

However, he still needed to bring Joshua back, so he was forced to sit there.

Gale would stay in Temperley Hall, and Peter would not be able to take care of Joshua alone, so Joshua would return home with him.

'I'm busy. I'll come back to get Joshua later," Aurum said.

After that, he held Gale's hand and headed out.

Gale was a bit hesitant, but Aurum seemed quite decisive, holding her hand and refusing to let go.

There was nothing she could do but follow him.

No one noticed Shawn narrowing his eyes slightly. His gaze was full of possessiveness as he stared at Aurum's hand, wanting to slice it off!

Who gave him permission to hold Gale's hand?

He was holding it so tightly!

If this was in the past, Shawn would have rushed right forward and forced them apart! He would have pulled Gale into his arms to show that she was his!

Yet, at that moment, he had to bear with it!

His heart hurt from the fact!

At the same time, he knew that Gale was bearing with him as well.

In truth, Shawn had stayed up thinking about it. If he bore with things for the moment, would things really end up in a state he would be happy with after that?

He was fooling Winnie and looking for a way to cure Nicole. He had his own difficulties.

Gale could not understand it.

Yet, he could understand her pain because he was the one that caused it all.

Shawn was forced to do this for Nicole and for the sake of dealing with Winnie.

"Mr. Lefting and Gale's relationship seems a little too close. No wonder Natalie gets jealous. The two of them are even holding hands. Isn't this inappropriate?" Winnie said.

However, it was a good thing for Winnie.

The closer Gale and Aurum were, the worse Natalie would feel, and the more Natalie would help her!

Shawn had no intentions of keeping up the act any longer. He got up to go to the study.

"Shawn, where are you going?" Winnie shouted.

"There’s a video conference."

"Then I'll bring some fruits to the study for you."

Winnie felt very good about things. This was her dream life.

It was just that the happier she was at that moment, the worse she would suffer in the future.

At the garden, Aurum was absolutely furious. Yet, he did not want to be too harsh to Gale.

His heart ached for her.

She would definitely suffer staying in Temperley Hall!

"Gale, can't you tell that Winnie is just trying to humiliate you by letting you stay and take care of Nicole?" Aurum asked, "She even gave so many unreasonable conditions, but you agreed to them!"

"I don't care about what Winnie does. All I care about is Nicole."

"No matter what, Nicole is Shawn's daughter. He'll take care of her!"

Gale answered, "I'm still worried. He doesn't have any experience raising a child."

Aurum continued, "Then, there's the housekeeper and all the other employees at Temperley Hall!"

Gale sighed and said, "Mr. Lefting, have you ever heard of this saying?

Once there's a stepmother, even your own father can become a stepfather."

It was cruel, but it was the truth.

"Winnie has never been sincere to Nicole. She pretends to treat Nicole well right now, but she might change her mind in the future. Shawn will listen to her, and Nicole..."

Gale did not want to continue with that train of thought.
