Twisted Marriage: Secret Loves (Gale and Shawn)
Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Realizing that she had said something wrong, Paula hurriedly coveredher mouth. “It's nothing. Since you are part of the Wood family, youshould know the rules. Look at how indecent you are!” Gale raised herhand to cover her body. “I'll change right now.” “It's really embarrassing.I don’t know what Shawn likes about you. Any girl in Sea City is betterthan you...” Fiona said contemptuously. Suddenly, a gray suit wasdraped over Gale's shoulders. It felt warm and smelled familiar. “Nomatter what she does, it's not your place to lecture her.” Shawn tookher into his arms, “Aunt Fiona, you are too lenient.” Gale wanted toavoid it subconsciously, worried that she would get wet and dirty him.Shawn insisted on hugging her firmly, which made her even morefrightened. Shawn clearly was not thinking straight... It was her whowanted her to go through the rain. Does he have a fever causing hisconfusion? When Paula saw him, she quickly put on a smile. “Shawn,I'm just setting some rules for my daughter-in-law.” “My rules are therules. She doesn't need to follow yours!” Paula's smile froze on herface. Gale was even stiffer. Shawn was actually defending her. Shawnhugged her deeply and thoughtfully and walked to the villa.“Housekeeper, see off the guests.” “Yes.” Gale was not used to it anddared not move. “Who was that just now?" “It's just my stepmother.”“Oh...” Gale replied a while later, “You must have offended her byspeaking up for me just now.” Shawn replied lightly, “What does thatmatter?” “She is not qualified to bully you.” Shawn pursed his lips lightlyand said, “In the whole world, only I can bully you.” Gale's hearttrembled when he heard it. Even humiliating her was his right. No oneelse could. “You apologized to Paula just now, right?” Gale lowered herhead and answered, “Yes.” “Slap yourself.” She stared blankly at him,not knowing where she had gone wrong. Is it because she apologizedto Paula? Shawn did not explain and raised his brows indifferently.Gale gritted her teeth and slapped herself hard. It had to be loud,forceful, and have a red mark on the cheek to satisfy Shawn.Otherwise, there will be a second slap, a third... until he is satisfied.“That's right.” Shawn pointed at the insulation box on the coffee tableand said, “Go, open it." Gale complied. As soon as she opened the lid,she smelled a fragrant fragrance, which enticed her appetite. “This is...”“The soup from Paula.” Gale remembered that her mother used tomake soup for her often, but in the future... she will never taste hermother’s cooking again. The probability that a vegetative personwaking up was too low. Gale suddenly wanted to cry, but she dared not,so she could only blink her eyes quickly to force the tears back. Shawnheld Gale tightly and raised her chin. “Gale, drink.” Ah? Is she forced todrink? Gale said, “It's not right... This is what Paula prepared for you.”“Drink as much as you want.” Shawn said impatiently, “From todayonwards, you will drink all the soup she brings.” He even picked up thespoon himself, scooped up the soup, and fed it to her. “I'll drink bymyself...” “Drink.” No way, Gale could only open her mouth. Aninexplicable smile flashed in Shawn's eyes. This soup was made formen. It can affect fertility, causing difficulty in impregnating women...That would be perfect for Gale to drink. She is a woman, so this souphas no effect on her. Even if there is an impact, so what? Why would hecare about her life and death. Gale had no idea, and it happened thatshe was hungry too. “Signed it.” While sipping, Shawn threw anagreement at her. She looked intently at the divorce agreement. Shejust got married and now getting divorced. What exactly is Shawnplanning? “Three months later, we will divorce, and you will go out ofthe house. In the next three months, you must be a good Mrs. Wood.”Shawn had absolute confidence that he would be able to replace thewoman who slept with him that night within three months. By that time,Gale's existence would be meaningless. He will marry that woman.That night, all her beauty... made him unconsciously start to miss her.“Okay, divorce.” Gale agreed, “However, I have conditions.” Shawnsneered deeply and said, “What qualifications do you have to negotiatewith me? Want me to let your mother go?” “No.” She wanted him to...investigate the cause of his father's death. That was Shawn's sorespot, which cannot be touched or mentioned. Anyone who dares toopen it will be courting death! Of course, Gale knew his temper, but shehad no other way. She said cautiously, “Have you ever thought thatmaybe your father’s death... is caused by someone else?” As sheexpected, Shawn's complexion quickly sank like a dark cloud. Hekicked over the coffee table, and the soup spilled on the ground. “Gale,how dare you mention this!? You don't want to live anymore?!” Was shescared? Certainly. Gale still bit the bullet and carried on, “My father isan experienced doctor. At the juncture of life and death, he can't becareless enough to use the wrong medicine... ah!” Before she couldfinish her sentence, Shawn grabbed her neck. “Say one more word!"The air in her lungs was slowly thinning, and Gale was about to faint,looking up at his handsome face. Shawn's deep forehead bulged withblue veins, and the strength in his hand became stronger and stronger.“I will never stop having my revenge on your father. Gale, are youdelusional to absolve your father? Dreaming! I will make your Warmfamily live a life of pain and sorrow!” “I just believe my dad...” “Shut up!”Shawn interrupted her fiercely, “The evidence is conclusive. Your fatheralso pleaded guilty and went to jail. What else is there to say!” “He wasforced to confess... " A dark shadow appeared in front of Gale's eyes,suffocating her. She thought it would be good if she just died like this.She was relieved. Living was too tiring. However... Shawn let go. Hesaid like a demon, “You won't die so easily. I want to keep you torturedday after day.” Gale fell to the ground, tears falling unconsciously. Itseems that she can only rely on herself to replace out the truth about AlexWood's death. Gale had no time to wallow in her sadness. She wipedaway her tears, got up, lowered her head, and followed Shawn to thebedroom. “I'll just sleep on the floor.” She was very self-aware. Shawnignored her and stood by the window smoking a cigarette. Gale laydown on the floor, curled up into a ball, and closed her eyes. She wasnot bitter because sleeping here was a thousand times better than in amessy mental hospital. After finishing his cigarette, Shawn turned herhead and found that Gale was already asleep. The bright moonlight fellon her cheeks, lining her snow-white skin, her long eyelashes castshadows, and her lips were bright red and tender... He was tempted tokiss her. Shawn quickly looked away, entered the bathroom, and took along cold shower before calming down. He actually had feelings forGale! Damn it! Shawn shook his shaggy head, strode back to thebedroom, and grabbed Gale from the ground.
