Semua Bab Skeletons Of The Marital Closet: Bab 1601 - Bab 1610

Shawn murmured her name twice before saying, "I realize now that love isn't about possession. It's..."He gulped before continuing, "It's not about how much effort I put in, but about knowing that you're always there. It's knowing that no matter when, you'll always choose to come back home. We'll sleep in the same bed forever and ever."That was true love. Love was not about control, tying one's hands and feet and watching their every move. Love was about mutual dependence with mutual freedom. It was about having each other in your hearts no matter where you are. Shawn had misunderstood what love was. Now, he finally saw the light.Gale leaned back, rested against him and gently said, "Yes, no matter how many people appear by my side, the only person I love is you. Likewise, you have all those admirers around you, but I am the only one you love."Love does not need constant control. To know that someone would always choose you is true love."Shawn, I'm a bit shy and don't express

Yes, he cursed Shawn, but since Shawn was his father, he basically cursed himself. After all, they are related."Do you really want me to call you that? Are you trying to satisfy your vanity and sense of security, or do you truly acknowledge me as your son?" Joshua asked."What do you mean if I truly acknowledge you as my son? Joshua, you are my son; my blood flows in you, and you share my genes. Your personality is even similar to mine.""I feel that calling you Shawn is more comfortable for me..."Shawn did not speak. He just raised his hand and turned the doorknob, ready to leave.Joshua quickly spoke up, "Okay, fine! Daddy, please take me to see Uncle Pearton!"He thought a real man would need to be flexible and strategic. Right now, he would give in to achieve his goal. Next time, Shawn would not be able to hear him call him 'Daddy' so easily!Shawn turned around and returned to his bedside with a faint, triumphant smile on his lips. He was the boss. Joshua was just a kid.

"What are you all laughing at? Did I say something wrong?" Joshua looked utterly confused.The doctor shook his head. "Nothing. I'll head back to the office to finalize Pearton's treatment plan. Mr. Wood, Mrs. Wood, we'll take our leave."The doctor led the nurses out, leaving Joshua still puzzled."Why are you laughing then? Did I say something wrong? Mommy, why are you laughing? Shawn, aren't you the perpetually poker-faced guy? Even you laughed," he kept asking.Shawn raised an eyebrow. "You said you'd devote yourself to Pearton?""Yeah. Don't they always say that on TV to repay someone for saving your life? Why can't I say that too?" Joshua replied nonchalantly."You can. It's up to Pearton if he wants that." Shawn nodded.Gale tugged at Shawn's sleeve. "Joshua is just a kid. Why are you messing with him?"Shawn replied seriously, "I'm quite open-minded. I'll agree if he insists on devoting himself to another man."Joshua sensed something was off. He muttered, "So, it's ok

"She was there? Why?" Gale exclaimed."Matthew couldn't really stand on his own, so she was there to support him. I threw the divorce papers in her face and told her that from now on, I will never see her and Matthew again," Mary explained."I also told Heather that despite all her scheming, seducing Matthew, and taking my daughter away, she gained nothing. I won't bother with her because she wasted half her life. If she wants Matthew, she can have him.""I told her there was nothing left to fight for. She took you away, which is indeed a crime deserving of death. Even if I had the intention to kill her now, it wouldn't change the fact that you left me at a young age. I want to forget it all.""Now you and Shawn have a loving relationship. Joshua and Nicole are growing up well. I don't want bloodshed; I don't want to be the villain punishing Heather. Let's move forward with grace."Gale nodded. "Mom, you're so open-minded. I feel relieved."She was worried that her unilateral dec

Joshua picked up the gold necklace, bit on it, and grinned. That was not all. When Lucas arrived, he handed Joshua a key. "Great Grandpa, what is...""A house key.""What?! A house?"More precisely, it was the key to a villa. Lucas explained, "In the future, when you grow up and have a family, you can move here. Joshua, you can't keep living with your parents, can you?" Joshua joyfully accepted, "Thank you, Great Grandpa!"Lucas was always generous. After buying a theme park for Nicole, he purchased a villa for Joshua. Their gifts were progressively more luxurious."Do you ever feel that his gifts are getting more extravagant?" Gale nudged Shawn's shoulder.Was that appropriate? Would it cultivate Joshua's lavish spending habits?Take the racing car model from Peter as an example; it looked ordinary, but as a limited edition, it cost tens of thousands! Not to mention the gold necklace and a villa!Shawn replied, "It's fine."Gale realized she should not have asked him beca
