Chapter 691
Shawn pursed his lips lightly. “Don’t think I won’t do anything to you.”
Aurum said, “I don’t understand why you’re so fixated on an unknown woman. The whole Sea City knows that all your hair turned white for Gale. You decided not to remarry, and you wouldn’t have kids anymore. Are you going to break that vow?”
“My love and loyalty for Galey will be there forever.”
Aurum smiled in mild disdain.
“Mr. Wood, there’s been a recent rumor that you brought a female employee away during a banquet. She looked a lot like Gale, so you kept her in Temperley Hall, hiding her amongst the riches. Is that true?”
Shawn’s expression turned cold.
Aurum asked, “Can I see her? I want to see how alike they are.
After a pause, Aurum sighed. “What’s the point of looking like Gale? She isn’t Gale and never will be.”
Shawn pulled at his tie in frustration.
Of course, he understood that!
However, he wanted to keep Gale’s face by his side! He could look at her occasionally to fill the gaping hole in his heart!
Aurum said, “I’ve looked into Molly as well. She’s Florei’s designer, and her designs are similar to Gale’s. Shawn, are you going to constantly collect any woman who’s just a bit similar to Gale within the country?”
“Are you going to collect those who look like her, have her style, have her figure or even. sound like her?”
“Thankfully, Temperley Hall is large enough for all those women to stay in.”
“You’re just fooling yourself, living in a lie… Are you really happy?”
Shawn snapped the lid on the lighter. “Shut up!”
Aurum did not actually continue. Aurum merely looked at Shawn with a smile. There was pity and disdain in his eyes.
It was the first time anyone looked at Shawn with that expression.
Was Shawn very pitiful?
