Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 757

Joshua said, “Ah, so it was just not meant to be? Why didn’t you confess before my mother was married?”

Aurum wanted to explain it, but he was amused after he tried.

What was the point of saying all that to a three-year-old child?

He had never felt that way toward Gale.

However, he could not deny that there were some moments when he would feel his heart jump when he looked at Gale.

Yet, it would only last for a few seconds before it disappeared.

Aurum always knew very well that it was impossible for him and Gale. He would only marry Natalie.

If he could not marry the true daughter of the Yarn family that went missing, he would still marry the adoptive one.

It was his gesture of love to that missing girl.

“Joshua, are you trying to matchmake me with your mother?” Aurum laughed. “You’re really barking up the wrong tree.”

“Alright then, Uncle Lefting, just forget everything I said.”

It was a pity.

All of the good men were already taken!

The more Joshua thought about it, the more frustrated he got. What was his st*pid mommy going to do… Surely she could not grow old herself.

“Do you really want a father?” Aurum could tell what Joshua was thinking. “Gale’s been taking care of you the whole time. Do you just really want some fatherly love?”

“No.”

Aurum was surprised.

Joshua said seriously, “I just don’t want my mommy to keep on being alone. I want someone to love her and care for her and to keep her company. If anything happens, they can shoulder her burdens. Someone else can be responsible for making money for the family, and she just needs to look pretty…

“The neighbors won’t bully her anymore. She won’t have to be the one who changes the lightbulbs at home. When she has nightmares, someone can give her a warm embrace. When it’s cold, someone can keep her warm. I don’t want her to worry.

“Nicole and I will slowly grow up and live our own lives. We’ll leave. Surely her life can’t revolve around us. I hope she will have her own life!”

Aurum had a look of praise in his eyes as he quietly listened.

In the past four years, Gale taught her two children incredibly well.

Joshua looked cheeky and naughty, but he was incredibly smart and mature!

Nicole was cute and obedient, but she did not just blindly listen to her mother. She had her own thoughts!

With two children that were so smart, Aurum started to get a bit jealous of Shawn.

“Do you understand what I said, Uncle Lefting?” Joshua had a worried look on his face. “It’s just a pity that we’re worried for her, but she’s not worried at all. My mommy doesn’t want to fall in love again.”

Aurum reminded him, “Joshua, you do have a father. Right now, Gale and Nicole are with your father.”

Joshua did not even hesitate to say, “He can’t do it.”

“Ahem…”

Aurum started to cough intensely.

‘You can’t just say a man can’t do it.’

Aurum said, “Your dad… Can do it. Otherwise, you and Nicole wouldn’t be around.”

Joshua could not understand the meaning behind that.

He was still young, after all.

He clicked his tongue in disdain. “Mommy has been the one taking care of us the whole time. He’s never appeared. He hasn’t given us any money, warmth or care. I won’t accept him as my father! I want another one”!

Aurum regarded that as a childlike tantrum, not paying it too much mind.

There were many things that he felt Joshua did not understand because Joshua was still young. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

However, he forgot one thing. Joshua was Shawn’s son.
