Chapter 722
The three of them exchanged looks with each other.
Shawn’s voice was heard again. “Hello? Summer, what is it?”
“Y-y-you… You have a child with someone who sounds like Gale?!”
“What are you saying?”
Summer asked, “Isn’t that what your post meant?! What? Did Gale get resurrected from the dead?!”
“You’re crazy.”
Shawn hung up after saying that, ignoring her.
Gale looked at his phone. “Was that Summer?”
“Yes.”
Gale’s expression sank. “She doesn’t know I’m back. I should find the time to go see her.”
She wondered how Summer would react when Summer saw her.
However, Gale knew that Summer would not blame her for disappearing for four years. Summer would only blame her for coming back.
They were best friends. She knew how Summer was.
“You can meet all your friends that you want to see. You can even go around the Wood Group to see how much Lovito has changed. You can go back to Temperley Hall…” Shawn said.
Gale suddenly laughed. “Temperley Hall? You used to let Susan stay there, and another woman is staying there now. I won’t step into that place again.”
Shawn paused. “Galey, I only brought her in because she looks like you so much, but she and I…”
“You don’t have to explain what happened between the two of you.”
Shawn pursed his lips. “You’re jealous, Galey.”
“No,” Gale denied it.
Shawn looked at her. “You care that I’ve had other women by women by my side in these four years. Galey, I was the one who never dared to look into my own hard back then. Now, I’m absolutely able to do that. Yet you don’t seem to be able to admit to what you’re really thinking.”
Gale frowned.
She bit her lip and said, “I just think you’re very amusing. You make such a big deal of missing me, and keep saying you’ll never get married again because of me. Yet, you have other women by your side. Shawn, your actions are quite disgusting.”
“Galey, it’s been really hard for me spending the past four years alone.”
She had no way of understanding his loneliness and could not understand how he spent every night.
Using alcohol to numb himself, constantly smoking, and looking through all her pictures. Only then would he barely make it past the night.
“Just eat,” Gale said.
Nicole blinked and suddenly asked, “Are Mommy and Daddy fighting?”
“No!”
“No!”
Both of them said it at the same time.
Nicole said, “But mommy is angry. When mommy is angry, her lips will go down. Like this.”
Nicole started to mimic it, putting her fingers at the corner of her lips and pulling them down.
Gale did not know how to react. “I don’t do that.”
“You do. You just don’t know it,” Nicole said earnestly.
After saying that, she patted Shawn on the hand. “You made mommy angry, so you have to make it up to her.”
Shawn nodded. “Okay. Do you have any ideas?*
Nicole immediately said, “Just kiss her and it’ll all be okay! I always do that!”
Shawn was very happy with that answer.
He wanted nothing more than to do that!
Gale almost choked on her food.
Her own daughter, whom she raised and brought her here, was already on Shawn’s side in just one day’s time.
Gale could not help but say, “Nicole, didn’t you say that daddy was very scary and that you didn’t dare to talk to him? Why are you on his side already?”
