Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 267

Lucas was stunned, not expecting her to agree so easily.

The Wood family was so powerful. Their fortune was immense, but she did not want a single cent.

Gale said, “When should we do it? I’ll cooperate unconditionally.”

“W…What are you trying to do?”

“Not everyone covets money and power. Lucas, you should convince Shawn and make him agree,” Gale said.

Paule interrupted, “So are you saying that Shawn’s the one who’s not willing to get a divorce?”

Gale smiled and answered, “You’re right.”

Lucas and Paula’s expressions changed rapidly.

Lucas asked, “Shawn, you… don’t want to get a divorce?”

Shawn nodded. “Yes.”

“You must have gone crazy!” Lucas stood up furiously. ” You can have any woman you want, but you don’t want to get a divorce?!”

“Gale is the only one I want,” Shawn answered honestly. His expression was incredibly calm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Lucas watched him grow up and naturally knew his character.

He was being serious.

Paula’s mouth was wide in surprise as she looked at Gale a few times. “Did you feed Shawn some sort of love potion? You caused him to become so obsessed with you!” Lucas cursed, “Disaster! Women always bring disaster!”

“I no longer want to hear the word divorce being mentioned by anyone.” Shawn wrapped his arm around Gale’s waist, saying in a low voice, “Grandpa, please go back.

Gale stood by his side. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

At that moment, she really did feel like a wife.

The person next to her was her husband. It was the man who she would spend her whole life with. He was the person who would fight against the whole world for her sake.

Shawn had so firmly chosen her, not being swayed at all.

That love felt incredibly heavy.

Gale never expected that Shawn would protect her like that in front of the whole family.

Unfortunately, she did not want Shawn’s love.

She did not dare to want it.

Seeing Lucas standing and not moving, Shawn said again, “Grandpa, please leave.”

“Do you still remember who Gale’s father is?! Do you still remember how Peter killed your father?! Her father killed your father. It’s a family grudge. How could you love her? One day, you’ll end up dying by her hands too!”

Lucas left in a huff.

Paula hurried after him.

To her, the further Lucas and Shawn’s relationship drifted apart, the better!

The room was suddenly quiet.

After a long time, Gale finally said, “So you really do like me that much…”

He liked her so much that she was a bit surprised. She even felt flattered.

Shawn pulled at his tie and stood in front of the window. ” Yes, Gale, you won.”

She laughed.

“Are you very pleased?” Shawn raised an eyebrow. “I used to not care about you at all, but now I can’t afford to lose you.”

“Yet, I don’t love you.”

Shawn’s lips pursed tightly as his whole body froze. “Say

that again?”

“I don’t love you. Shawn, all I feel for you is hatred. I hate you for ruining my perfect and happy family. I hate you for taking away my child…” Gale said very slowly.

“Then keep on hating me.”

Shawn left the room, slamming the door.

Gale stood there quietly before suddenly sitting on the bed, feeling like all her strength had been sapped away.

She felt like the marriage might be something she would not be able to escape. Shawn would not let her go so easily.

She might have to spend her whole life with him.

She was going to live with a demon for her whole life. It was a terrifying thought!
