Chapter 846
The worse Shawn and Gale fought, the happier Winnie would be.
Gale lowered her head before she said softly, “Fine. I was just letting my frustrations get to me last night. I
I trust you. I don’t think you’d help Winnie hurt Nicole.”
Shawn paused slightly with his tea in hand.
Did he mishear things?
Was he dreaming?
Gale said she trusted him?
Before Shawn could fully process it, he heard Gale say, “I was just too emotional yesterday. Don’t take what I said to heart. Just forget it.”
Shawn looked down slightly, and he gently pursed his lips.
She was apologizing.
In a gentle manner.
He understood.
The fact that she said she trusted him already surprised him enough, but she was actually admitting she was wrong to him!
Shawn put his cup down and looked right at Gale.
Gale avoided his eyes but knew that he was looking at her. She suddenly felt shy and annoyed at the same time. Her face flushed red, including her neck!
When Aurum had been staring at her even though she had just gotten out of bed during the morning, she had been able to remain calm.
So why did she suddenly turn into a young maiden in front of Shawn?
Very quickly, Gale wondered what she was so embarrassed about.
Why did she need to feel shy?
So, she composed herself quickly. “Even though you didn’t help Winnie, you were the one who even allowed her to be around. Shawn, you can’t shed all responsibility.”
He grunted in acknowledgment.
He had missed Gale too much at the time. That was why he had brought Winnie back to Temperley Hall so he could look at Winnie a few times a day.
Winnie had just been to look at.
Yet, he had caused such a disaster because of it!
