Skeletons Of The Marital Closet novel Chapter 849

Chapter 849
Shawn sat down next to her
The sofa sank down slightly
His aura and his scent suddenly enveloped Gale.
He had clearly done nothing.
Yet, Shawn sitting down in front of her and next to her felt like two incredibly different things!
It got worse when Shawn reached out and pulled her into his arms.
“Hey, you
Gale pushed her hands into his chest.
He did not move
She pushed again, but he ended up hugging her even more tightly.
Shawn rubbed his chin lightly against her ear. “Galey, sometimes, I wonder how much of an evil monster I could be for me to fail to get the woman I love over and over again.”
Gale suddenly stopped pushing him.
He described himself as an evil monster.
That sounded a bit too much.
“I didn’t kill my mother-in-law, but she ended up paralyzed because of what I did to your family. I even stopped the doctors from giving her the special medication, delaying her treatment. I even mistook Susan for the woman from that night and tolerated her agitating your mother.
“I had thought that the crime of killing your mother would forever be attributed to me in your heart. I never expected the truth to ever be revealed. I guess it’s a bit of a silver lining.” Shawn’s tone was filled with a bit of self-mockery.
“I wanted to let Nicole go with you. I never thought of making her stay behind and having her for myself Yet, Winnie…”
Shawn paused at that, unable to go on.
He sighed and said, “There are many things that I didn’t do, but they still happened because of me. You should definitely hate me and blame me. However, Galey, I’ve never kept anything from you. So, could you be more honest with me?”
Gale’s mind was immediately on high alert.
Shawn wanted her to be honest?
What did that mean?!
Had he noticed Joshua?
Or was he tricking her? Was he trying to get her to tell him herself?
Shawn said her name again and again, “Galey, Galey, let’s stop being suspicious of each other, and not let anyone else get between us, okay?”
“There’s nothing to get between because we’ve never been in love before.”
When Shawn deeply loved her, she hated him.
When she loved Shawn…
No, Gale had never loved him with a pure heart before!
She had always seen him with both love and hate!
Shawn asked, “Are you sure there’s nothing to get in between? You clearly jumped into the sea, and your corpse was even found. Yet, you appeared in front of me four years after that with Nicole.”
So he was talking about Gale jumping into the sea.
Gale leaned into his embrace. “Haven’t you already guessed everything? You even told me you wouldn’t look into it. You said you wouldn’t ask as long as I didn’t want to talk about it. You said you could act as if nothing happened.”
“But it’s still like a thorn in my heart. Galey, this is the only thing left. I can understand and let go of everything else!”
Only Gale jumping into the sea still hung over his head.
He wanted to know the truth.
Shawn leaned his head into her shoulder, getting a whiff of the fragrance in her hair. “I don’t have any intentions of pursuing the matter. I just wanted to listen to you explain the truth to me. I don’t want to suddenly find out the full truth from someone else in the future.”
“Galey, I want you to tell me yourself.”
