Skeletons Of The Marital Closet novel Chapter 782

Chapter 782
“That’s right. Then, Gale would lose everything. She can’t beat Shawn. Even if this ends up in court, Shawn has the advantage. Shawn has money and power, and the court will give the both of you to Shawn. That’s not something you want, right?”
Joshua answered, “Yes, I understand that, which is why I didn’t acknowledge him in the park. I’m not angry, Uncle Lefting. I…”
He stopped.
Aurum looked at him and said, “What? Tell me what’s on your mind. I’ll do everything in my power to help you.”
“I want to stay in Sea City. I want to go back with Mommy after Nicole’s surgery. I don’t want her to leave alone even if she came with Nicole. She’ll feel very sad if that happens.”
How could Aurum possibly reject a reason like that?
It was so mature and caring.
That was right. If Nicole was taken by the Wood family, then Gale would be all alone.
How sad would she be then?
Yet, Gale was so strong. She would always bury everything in her heart.
Those beside her would not even know how to console her.
Joshua being there to hold her hand would be such a powerful form of encouragement.
So, Aurum’s heart softened as he immediately agreed, “Okay! Then you don’t have to go back. You can stay here!”
“Really?” Joshua asked.
“I’ve always been a man of my word.”
“Thank you, Uncle Lefting.”
Zoe was a little stunned to hear that. “Mr. Lefting, are you going to decide just like that? Won’t you.
discuss it with Gale?”
Aurum and Joshua said at the same time, “No need!”
Zoe looked at the two of them, stunned.
“I won’t go to the hospital. It’s not like I’ll see them every day. I’ll keep them company from afar!” Joshua said.
They decided to hide it from Gale in the meantime.
They were worried she would overthink things and worried she would worry about Joshua.
She was already busy enough with Nicole’s surgery.
Aurum said, “Let’s make it so. I’ll help you contact a kindergarten. You can go to class starting.
Monday.”
“Okay!”
Joshua regained his liveliness immediately. He crawled up the sofa and started to jump around.
Zoe said, “Be careful. Don’t fall down… It’s already getting late. Take a bath and go to sleep.”
She held Joshua’s hand and went toward their room.
Aurum had prepared a large room for Zoe. Even if it was not as nice as the guest rooms on the second floor, it was still clean and spa*ous.
Natalie happened to return when they got to the door.
“Hello, Ms. Yarn,” Zoe greeted, standing aside to make way.
Natalie nodded, glancing at Joshua. “Where is this child from?”
“Oh, this is my grandson. He’s staying with me for the moment. I’m so sorry for troubling you and Mr. Lefting.”
“Kids are noisy. Watch over him properly. Don’t break anything at home.”
“Yes, Ms. Yarn.”
Joshua did not say anything, standing quietly by Zoe’s side.
When Natalie left, he asked, “Mrs. Zoe, who is she?”
“That’s Mr. Lefting’s fiance.”
“Oh, so that’s her.”
Joshua felt like she was so much worse than his mother.
He felt like she was not worthy of Aurum.
Aurum was a really nice person. If he was not going to be with Joshua’s mother, then he should at least be with someone who was gentle, caring, and as beautiful as a fairy!
Joshua did not like that woman from the first moment.
