Chapter 491
The bite marks behind Shawn's hand were still evident. The blood had dried up and was left unattended."Mr. Wood, I've known Gale's mother since I was young, and she watched me grow up. It's perfectly reasonable that I handle her affairs. Even Gale agreed," Sam said.He coldly responded, "I don't agree!"Gale smiled snidely. "Ha… Shawn, what gives you the right to refuse? You're the one who killed my mother! She died because of you! If you hadn't infuriated her, and if you had pressed the bell in time, she wouldn't have died! The person least qualified to handle my mother's funeral is you!"Every word was a crime on Shawn's name.Yes, he should not have entered the room.He should have pressed the bell. Even if Wendy had stopped him, he should have forcefully done it.However, it was already too late to say anything.The dead could not come back.Shawn put his hand around her waist. "Gale, no matter what, Sam can't be the one to handle it!"He was not so incapable that he nee

At the cemetery, the skies were dark, and there was a drizzle. It was a heavy atmosphere.Gale had black clothes on and a white flower on her chest as she quietly stood in front of the gravestone.Peter put a bouquet on the gravestone as he quietly looked at Wendy's picture.After looking at it for a while, he reached out to wipe away the rain. "You'll be staying here in the future, dear. I'll visit you and talk to you when I have time."The rain wet Peter's hair.Gale walked forward with the umbrella. "Dad, take care of your health."She helped Peter up.None of them wanted to leave.Father and daughter. They were all each other had left.In the end, Peter was the one who dealt with Wendy's funeral affairs with the help of Fiona.Peter did not allow anyone to come, and even Same had been rejected."Gale, when my time comes in the future, you have to have me buried next to your mother. I'll be happy if I get to rest in peace next to her," Peter said."Alright, Dad, but you'

The black clothes had an elegant beauty to them when coupled with Gale's white skin.Aurum looked quietly for a few seconds, and his heartbeat actually sped out.He felt a little moved.He immediately averted his gaze, pushing down that feeling.How could he get any feelings for Gale? He had his fiance, Natalie. They had a great relationship!Gale did not know what Aurum was thinking. She asked softly, "Mr. Lefting, you mentioned faking my death last time. I think we can start putting it in motion. Shawn has been putting me under a tighter watch. It's going to be incredibly hard for me to leave alive."Are you ready?" Aurum asked.She nodded firmly."I've already figured out a plan," He tilted his umbrella toward her head. "You just need to follow through.""Mr. Lefting, please continue."The rain got heavier and heavier, pittering and pattering against the umbrella.There were raindrops next to their feet.Gale looked on as Aurum spoke, detailing the whole plan."... That

"Alright, take care of your health." Aurum handed her the umbrella as he turned around, not hesitating to walk right into the rain. He walked down the mountain with another path.When Aurum's figure disappeared, Gale walked down with the umbrella in hand.There was still some of his body heat on the handle.At the foot of the hill, a black Maybach waited there silently."Mr. Wood, she's here," the driver said.Shawn had been closing his eyes and resting. The moment he heard that, he opened his eyes and got out of the car.Gale walked through the rain, looking cold and proud.She said, "You were still waiting.""I was always waiting.""Can you distance yourself from me?"Shawn pursed his lips. "Gale, what do I need to do to prove that I didn't do anything to your mother?"She said, "You don't have to prove anything. You're still the cause of everything in the end. Two years ago, you barged into our family and let her witness her family shattering with her own eyes! She could

It was the first time he had ever heard anyone shout at Shawn!Yet, Shawn did not get angry and just looked at her. "If you're cold to me your whole life but remain by my side, I would be able to accept it."Gale glared at him. "You're shameless."When he heard that, he smiled.Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her feet. Shawn had bent down to hold her ankle, lightly lifting it to his knee."It's wet. Let's wipe it off and change to a new pair," he said.Shawn looked down and wiped her feet earnestly.His rough fingers constantly brushed against her tender feel. Gale wanted to pull her feet back, but he had a firm grip."No need. Shawn, let go. I'll do it myself," she said.That stance was far too intimate.Her white and soft skin complemented his honey-colored skin. It caused Gale to remember when he violently bullied her in bed unconsciously.Thinking about that, her face started to heat up. Worried that Shawn would notice, she decided just to let things be.When the car sto

She tried not to mention anything about Wendy's passing as well. She did not want to reopen the wounds in Gale's heart.Time still passed, as usual, and people needed to move forward.The imported cherries were large and juicy. Every bite burst with juices. Gale said with interest, "There's too many for me to eat. Are you sending some to Dr. Lighton?""I didn't buy any for him.""Thanks to him, I can raise my babies in peace. Just take it as a token of gratitude from me."Summer waved it off. "Fine, I'll thank him properly later. Don't bother with it anymore."Gale said, "Dr. Lighton is such a good person… Thanks to him being willing to hide it, we've managed to stop Shawn from knowing that I'm pregnant.""Of course, just look at my relationship with him. It's been so many years, and this is the first time I've asked him for anything.""What's your relationship?" Gale blinked. "Tell me.""We're best friends! He's a male best friend!"Gale let out a laugh. "Summer, why do you

Gale finally understood why Natalie seemed to see her with such animosity.So Natalie thought there was something between Aurum and her."Ms. Yarn, I think you've misunderstood things. The first time we met, I was definitely careless and was a bit too close to Aurum, but Mr. Lefting's already explained it. You know that I'm married to Shawn as well. I thought you would understand it," Gale explained.She was a pregnant woman. How could she have anything to do with Aurum?Her husband was even Shawn."That's right, I thought so then too. But you have an incredibly unusual relationship with Aurum! When you're in the hospital, he comes to visit you every time. He even calls you behind my back!" Natalie answered.Natalie bore with it the first few times, thinking that there was no way Aurum would be doing anything unspeakable with Mrs. Wood.However, she started to get worried after it started to get frequent.Not only was Aurum calling Gale, but she had also even heard Aurum shouti

Natalie paled incredibly quickly.That was a tightly guarded secret!How did Gale find out?!"You…" Natalie started to stammer. "Who told you that?""Mr. Lefting."Natalie's body started to sway. She had to steady herself against the wall. "You've not even known him for that long. He even told you that?"Yes, Natalie was an orphan the Yarn family adopted from an orphanage.However, since she started living with the Yarn family, her life of luxury has come incredibly easy. She had completely forgotten who she really was.She did not like mentioning her life in the orphanage, and did not even like admitting that she had been from one!As time passed, people slowly stopped mentioning it, and it was forgotten.It reinforced Natalie's identity as the heiress of the Yarn family!Gale looked at her. "Ms. Yarn, I don't mean anything by it, and I'm not trying to reopen old wounds. I just feel like you've taken the place of the Yarn family's real heiress in the end. You should have a
