Skeletons Of The Marital Closet のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1841 - チャプター 1850

"Well, you weren't sleeping by my side and sneaked away." Shawn tightened his grip on her. "Without you by my side, I can't sleep either."He could only sleep if he smelled her familiar scent and had her petite frame in his arms. He needed to be reassured to drift into slumber. He woke up only to find Gale was not there, leaving him grasping at air.At that moment, Shawn's heart sank. Where did she go? Did she quietly slip away?Shawn lowered his head to her ear and whispered, "Galey, I've told you don't leave me without a word. I'm afraid you'll disappear without a trace, like four years ago."Plus, considering what had just happened, Shawn was constantly in a state of worry and vigilance.Luckily, he saw her silhouette by the door. Shawn finally settled completely. She was still within his sight."I... just came out for a walk to soak up some sun. I didn't expect Aurum to show up, so I chatted with him for a bit," Gale said."Yeah, I heard." Shawn raised his eyes, looking at A

Aurum thought Shawn was really open-minded; he could forgive Gale. However, was Shawn deliberately acting like he did not care, or does he believe that he had never touched Gale in the first place? Just as he was thinking, a sharp gaze swept to him. Shawn clearly saw the mockery and jealousy in Aurum's eyes. A person could fake expressions, but their eyes would not lie."Aurum, I think your proposal is excellent," Shawn smiled. "I'm pleased that you've realized this issue and took the initiative to bring it up. I agree with you leaving Sea City." Aurum could not directly refute this because Gale was there. He had to play along, maintaining his gentleman image! Therefore, Aurum carefully considered his words."Mr. Wood, you're being too kind. You're letting me go so easily," he replied. "You wanted to leave yourself; I'm just going along with your wishes, offering a bit of help.""Then I must thank Mr. Wood."Shawn's smile deepens. "When are you leaving? What time? Gale and I

"Why am I not strong enough? If only I were stronger, if only I didn't have such a strong sense of shame, if only... I was a woman who could do whatever it took to achieve her goals..." Ivy murmured.She could not even stand still, eliciting sympathy. Her once aloof demeanor was now completely gone, replaced by that of an innocent and pitiful woman."Let's go inside and sit for a while." Gale supported her.She did not know how to comfort Ivy. All she could do was accompany her. Shawn withdrew his gaze. When he looked at Aurum again, his aura had completely changed. His presence was overpowering and threatening.He stepped forward, the heels of his shoes scraping against the cement ground, making a sharp sound.Aurum was not the same as before either. He stood tall, his eyes filled with a sense of determination. The two men faced each other."You finally reveal your true colors," Shawn said."I am who I am, always have been.""You kept your mouth shut, were you afraid to let sl

Shawn could not be bothered to respond, and he felt a strength surging through his arm. Aurum was feeling weaker while Shawn drew closer. Aurum gritted his teeth fiercely, mustering all his strength to push Shawn away, feeling almost drained himself."Come on, let's fight like men!" Aurum wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, shrugging off his coat and tossing it aside. "Shawn, let's settle this like men!"He wanted a good, honest fight to see who came out on top. He had been wanting to do this for a long time!What gave Shawn the right to rule over Sea City, to look down on him while also having the woman he loved?"Alright, I'll indulge you and let you lose with dignity!" Shawn unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, rolling up his sleeves. His eyes screamed murder. He was going to thoroughly beat Aurum up to alleviate his hatred.Beside them, the bodyguards watched with concern. "Mr. Wood...""Step back!""But...""Get lost! Don't interfere!"Aurum charged forward. The

"It's not only that. He even thinks that nothing happened between me and Aurum. He wants to find out the truth, to produce strong evidence," Gale said softly."How nice, he's always been on your side, looking out for you.""But I feel guilty for his trust. Now whenever I close my eyes, all I can think about is..."Ivy replied bitterly, "I'm in the same boat. I wish I could kill Paul, that bastard! But instead? I still have to work with him on the movie.""Can you not do the movie? Ivy, you're the only artist under the Wood Group. This is almost unheard of in the industry. I can fight for better resources for you, we can take on more scripts... We don't have to do Paul's film!" Gale asked seriously.Ivy fell silent."I can offer you more, I promise. You can even sue Paul. I'll get the head lawyer of Wood Group to help…"Before Gale could finish speaking, Ivy shook her head."Why?" Gale's voice was very soft. "Are you afraid? With me here, you don't have to be."Shawn protected
