Twisted Marriage: Secret Loves (Gale and Shawn)

He was so direct that Gale was taken aback, not knowing how to respond.

Before she could react, Shawn had already held her hand. "Let's go."

She subconsciously followed him.

After walking a few steps, she wanted to break free again.

However, Shawn held it even tighter. "Gale...we are still married."

Although her heart no longer belonged to him, her person still belonged to him.

"I know you want a divorce. I will find a way to stop Grandpa. But right now, with Nicole's matter... no." Shawn did not turn his head, looked at the road ahead, and walked steadily.

After a few seconds of silence, he said in a low voice, "Please be Mrs. Wood for a while longer."

Hearing these words, Gale quickly raised her head and looked at his silhouette.

When Shawn said this, his tone was flat and normal.

However, Gale could hear a bit of regret.

He is Shawn...

'When have you ever been so humble, such a retreat?'

Only in front of her.

"As Mrs. Wood, how can she be wronged? High above the sky, surrounded by stars, the young mistress of a wealthy family with hundreds of billions of dollars... how many women dream of it," Gale replied softly.

"Then don't you feel wronged? Have you never felt wronged?" Shawn asked deeply.

"In this marriage between you and me, I am more than wronged."

Shawn pursed the corners of his lips deeply and fell silent.

"When the Civil Affairs Bureau forced me to marry you, when you were kind to Susan, when you killed our first child, when you doubted Sam and me... I am wronged. But you will never understand what wronged me the most," Gale said.

"Gale, what's wronged you the most?"

"When I love you, and you don't love me. When I'm tired and want to retreat, you pour all your love on me."

There are some things that she did not get at the time, and when she did, she did not want it.

At this time...

Joshua had already run to the front of the car, urging, "Uncle Shawn, hurry up! I won't be able to buy pancakes any later!" Thoughts were interrupted.

Gale raised a smile. "Here we are."

Shawn drove slowly all the way. After spending nearly an hour, he finally bought pancakes at a stall at a crossroad.

The stall owners were planning to close their stalls.

"Boss, I want a pancake with no chocolate chips," Gale said.

"Okay, you are the last customer."

The boss was very talkative, chatting while spreading his batter.

"Your family of three is really the most beautiful I have ever seen. The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, and the child is so cute and smart!" the boss said.

Before Gale could explain, Joshua was already one step ahead of her. "It's not a family of three! He is not my... father!"

The boss froze for a moment. "Isn't he your father?"

"That's right! He's just an uncle I know!" Joshua said.

The boss looked at Shawn and Joshua carefully by the light.

He murmured, "What's going on... They look like a father and son... Could it be that my eyes are blurred? Or is the light too dim?"

"Boss, the pancakes are going to be mushy," Gale said quickly.

"Oh, good."

The boss then looked away, packed the pancakes, and handed them to Joshua.

Gale breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that the boss would continue talking!

"Yum! It's delicious! It's so delicious! Do you want a bite?" Joshua took a big bite.

Gale shook her head silently.

She was not hungry at all.
