Chapter 730
Slowly.
He was no longer the old him that would only care about himself.
Gale did not say anything about it.
In truth, she felt like hugging was even more intimate than kissing.
Their bodies were right next to each other. His warmth completely surrounded her, giving her a sense of safety.
She still loved him.
She loved him but hated him too.
In the quiet, Gale slowly got sleepy as well.
Suddenly, a smooth object hung around her next. Shawn’s hands were behind her as his fingers moved.
She opened her eyes. “Shawn…”
Gale touched her neck.
“It’s the pendant. I’ve had it all this time. I can finally put it on you after all this time.”
Gale touched the pendant, and she suddenly felt awake.
Back then, Aurum had asked for the pendant.
She did not know why, but she did not ask. She gave it to him anyway.
Yet, the pendant appeared in Shawn’s hands at that moment.
Gale suddenly thought of something.
“Back then, the corpse that was found was already completely bloated up by the water. It had this pendant on. I kept it, always treasuring it,” Shawn said.
Gale could feel herself starting to sweat.
He had to know something.
In the dark, Gale felt her breathing speed up as she felt a bit anxious.
However, Shawn’s voice was slow and gentle. “Galey, if you don’t tell me, I won’t ask. I won’t look into it either.”
He thought that he would be able to calm her down like that, but Gale actually felt even more afraid
Shawn really did suspect that her death had something else behind it!
What could she do?!
She could not drag Aurum into this!
Just as she was feeling anxious, Shawn put his hand on her back like he was consoling a child.
“It’s all in the past, Galey. Good night.”
He quickly kissed her forehead before he gently held her, not moving anymore.
Gale’s heart was beating very quickly.
She slowly looked up, using the moonlight to see him.
Looking up, he saw his lips, his nose and those shut eyes.
The pendant was on her neck. It was from her mother.
It was something absolutely unique and was enough to prove her identity!
Gale was clearly alive, but the pendant had been found on another corpse. It was clearly not right!
Yet, Shawn said he would not look into it.
Was time really able to change a person so much?
Gale shut her eyes gently.
Since he was not asking, she would not say anything.
After some amount of time, Gale finally fell asleep, and Shawn opened his eyes.
He looked at her in a daze.
It was rare for him to be in the dark, but Shawn felt like that was fine as long as she was by his
side.
At Temperley Hall, Winnie grabbed the gate firmly. “I don’t believe it! Mr. Wood wouldn’t kick me out! You’re lying to me. I want to see him. Where is he!”
“Ms. Nightingale, Mr. Wood ordered us to do this.”
“I don’t care, if he didn’t tell me himself, then it’s all fake. Don’t even think about kicking me out!”
She had spent a whole year doing plastic surgery, changing her face and learning Gale’s
mannerisms…
Even Lucas had agreed to help her, but she was being chased away.
