Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 257

“Gale!”

She laughed and said, “I wanted to show you that what you give is never what I want. You’re never able to give me the things that I want.”

Even if Shawn agreed to release her father because he loved her, Gale would not accept it.

What she wanted was for her father to have true freedom. She wanted him to be clear of any crimes.

She did not want her father to be released without an explanation because of Shawn’s love.

Shawn pulled at his tie as he gulped.

He could not give her what she wanted?

What a joke!

He was at the peak of power. He could get anything he wanted. How could he not be able to give Gale what she wanted?!

Yet, he could not!

“Be good, Gale. Give me some conditions that I’ll agree to. It’ll only be good for you. Don’t try to take the world in one day,” Shawn said.

ANTON

Gale lowered her gaze and replied, “I’m not full yet. I want to eat.”

“Have someone buy a new meal.”

“I want to leave the hospital. I want to go back to the company to work,” Gale said.

“Of course, once you’re better.”

She nodded silently, not saying anything.

Her eyes fell on the bandage on Shawn’s hand. Her lips curled up into a mocking smile.

Gale’s finger pointed right at his palm. “It would be great if your hand…were actually broken. It’s a pity that the knife was too small. It wasn’t long enough.”

“You’re such a sinister woman.”

“Who asked you to stop me from piercing myself?”

Shawn grabbed onto her hand and pulled her into his arms, circling his arms around her waist.

Gale sat on his leg.

Their faces were incredibly close to each other.

“Your life is mine. You’re not allowed to die unless I agree to it. If I want you to live, you’ll have to live even if I sacrifice myself,” Shawn said.

How high-handed were those words?

”

Gale looked at the man in front of her. His eyes were sharp, and they sparkled, looking incredibly handsome.

He was refined and powerful. He was the dream lover of countless women.

If she liked him, she might have felt touched by those words…

Yet, how was she supposed to like him?

He was the man who shattered her family. He was the man who threw her into a mental hospital. He was the man who took away her child.

How was she supposed to love him?

Even if she did, Gale would not admit it. She would firmly suppress that love!

He was a demon. The demon had fallen in love with her.

Was she supposed to love a demon?!

Gale looked away, no longer looking at Shawn.

If she continued looking, she might become ensnared!

“Why are you looking away from me?” Shawn leaned closer into her. His nose brushed against her face. “Gale, deep in your heart, you actually have feelings for me, right?”

She immediately denied it, “No!”

“Then look into my eyes?”

Gale stubbornly said, “Look at you? I’m worried that I’ll be tempted to kill you!”

Shawn smirked. “No, you weren’t able to do it even with the knife pointed right at my heart. The knife did not go deeper at all.”

His lips slowly got closer. “So, Gale, you do have me in your heart.”

“No…”

The moment she started to speak, he fiercely kissed her lips.

Shawn did it on purpose.

He waited for her to speak before he kissed her.

That way, he could easily open up her lips to go further.

At that moment, Gale sat on his legs. Her whole body was in his control.

Slowly, Shawn’s breathing got rougher.

His hand started to wander as well.

“Shawn, you… Let go… Ugh…” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Gale noticed that something was wrong and immediately struggled.

His body got hotter and hotter. Even the legs she sat on

felt like they were burning!
