Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 962

The maid had not left for too long when Winnie heard the sound of a car arriving downstairs.

Shawn was probably back!

She wanted to go take a look, but her body was in too much pain. So, she lay down obediently.

Downstairs, Nicole had her bag on her back as she skipped inside.

Shawn and Gale were behind her.

“Did you have fun at school today?” Shawn asked, “How were your classmates?”

Nicole answered, “It was great. I’m so happy. Daddy, I want to go to school every day! I don’t need weekends!”

“You like school so much?”

“Yes! There are the teachers and my friends. Joshua is there too!” Nicole’s smile was so wide her eyes narrowed. “Joshua was in the class next to mine at the start, but he changed to my class in the afternoon!”

What?

Nicole was in the same class as Joshua?

That meant that they would see each other every day.

Shawn was a bit unhappy about it.

The man Nicole liked the most at that moment, up to ten years in the future, should be him.

Gale did not say anything as she looked at Nicole’s innocent smile. It was like they had returned to their old gappy lives.

Only Nicole was stuck in a dangerous place.

The moment that peace was broken….

The consequences would be unfathomable.

No one knew what would happen. No one knew what Winnie would do to Nicole or if it would endanger

Nicole’s life.

Who would Shawn side with in the end?

As Gale thought about that, a phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.

Shawn picked up the phone. “Winnie? Where are you?”

Her expression stiffened as she turned away, trying to ignore the conversation next to him.

Gale said, “Nicole, come. I’ll bring you back to your room. Just leave your bag there and take out your homework. We can have dinner soon.”

“Okay!” As Nicole said that, she walked forward, holding Gale’s hand.

Gale held it tightly.

“Mrs. Anne, your hand is so smooth and soft. I want to hold it forever,” Nicole said.

Gale smiled and said, “Then I’ll let you hold it as long as you want.”

“That’s great!”

The two of them smiled at each other.

Yet, right as the mood was getting good, Shawn stopped her. “Wait.”

“Yes?” Gale turned to look at him. “What is it?”

“Bring Winnie dinner as well. She is waiting for her food,” Shawn said.

Gale wondered if she had misheard things. She pointed at herself and asked, “Me?”

“Yes, do I need to repeat myself?”

“My job is to take care of Nicole, not to serve Winnie,” Gale answered.

“She called for you to send it.”

Otherwise, Shawn would never have asked Gale to do that.

He would not hurt her willingly.

Gale looked at her firmly. “What if I don’t?”

Shawn said calmly, “If you want to stay in Temperley Hall with Nicole, you should listen to Winnie.”

Otherwise, Shawn would not stop Winnie from kicking Gale out.

Gale should understand that.

Nicole did not know what was happening. She merely looked at Shawn and Gale.

After a few seconds, Gale reached out and took the tray from the maid.

She held the tray tightly. Her fingers even started to whiten from the strain.

Looking at Gale’s retreating back, Shawn’s expression darkened as he stared to follow her.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
