Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 16

strong that it terrified her. She belonged to him, and no one else could touch her! Gale’s eyes welled up as she said, “I pushed him away. He only touched me for one second!” “It doesn’t matter how long he touched you. No one is allowed to touch you, regardless of the duration!” Shawn scrubbed Gale’s shoulders fiercely, wishing to peel off all her skin. Gale resisted fiercely at first and finally stood still, like a puppet. She was soaked all over, and the tips of her hair were dripping with water. Shawn felt no better. He looked at her ashen face, and a crazy idea came to him. He wanted her! “Damn!” Shawn threw away the showerhead, pinched her chin, lowered her head, and kissed her hard! It was more of a bite rather than a kiss. Both of them were soaked wet, and Gale was forced to raise her head. She could not resist his kiss. Her rare obedience caused the fire in Shawn’s body to burn more and more for her. He almost could not restrain himself! Her body had a long-lost sense of familiarity! Suddenly, Gale shuddered. She placed her arms around his neck, lowered her gaze, and asked, “Shawn… can you give me some money?” She was really desperate. She wanted to treat her father’s burns. She also wanted to bribe the prisoners so that they would not be too hard on her father. That required money. Shawn sneered deeply and growled, “Heh, I was wondering why you didn’t push me away this time. It turns out you want money. Gale, you know, it’s a good thing I have money to spare.” Comment by Eunice Low: Did she push him? Comment by Rachel Lee: Sorry, this phrase I think we can change it to “this time you didn’t push me away, turns out you want money” “Yes, so can you give it to me?” Gale clenched her fists and forced herself to look at him. He stared at the corner of her lips and asked, “How much?” “Twenty thousand dollars.” Comment by Eunice Low: Did you conver this amount to USD? Comment by Rachel Lee: _Marked as resolved_ No conversion, I did 1:1, I use “dollars” later on in the story. Comment by Rachel Lee: _Re-opened_ Opening it up again to reply Gale dared not be greedy to ask for too much. That amount should be enough. She would solve the problem at hand and think of a solution for the rest later. To Shawn, this number was a drop in the bucket. However… “What gave you the right to ask for money from me?” Gale bit her lips tightly and mumbled, “I am your wife.” He shook her off in disgust and said, “Gale, know your place!” Shawn lost all interest, turned around, and walked out. Gale’s back was leaning on the bathroom tiled wall, looking at his back. “Shawn, if you don’t give it to me… I’ll find Sam!” She deliberately threatened him! Actually, she knew Shawn very well. Gale knew what made him tick… Only by understanding his temperament could she survive in his hands! Sure enough, Shawn roared, “How dare you!” “You are pushing me to desperation!” Gale said desperately. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “What do you want the money for?” Gale gritted her teeth and answered, “I…I have my own reasons.” She was afraid that if Shawn knew she would use the money to treat her father’s wounds, he would not give it anymore. After all, he asked Susan to do it! Gale said again, “It’s just that I want my salary in advance. In the future, I will draw jewelry designs every day to pay off my debts!” She used to be the best student in the design department of Sea City University. Countless brands want to hire her to work for them, and her manuscript was used as an example for her schoolmates! Shawn hooked his lips deeply and said, “Yes.” Comment by Eunice Low: Did he hook her lips or his? Comment by Rachel Lee: Sorry, he hooked his lips He was a businessman and had never lost money in any business he entered. Seeing that he agreed, Gale let out a long sigh of relief. Shawn transferred the money to her on the spot. “Remember what you said!” She wept with joy. Dad can finally get treatment! Gale had not cared how Shawn looked at her at all. She wiped a handful of water from her face and went out. Shawn stood by the
