Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 695

As he said that, Pater patted Aurum’s shoulder with a smile. The two of them walked out together.

The housekeeper watched as everything happened, not knowing what to do.

Peter was Gale’s father. Even Shawn treated him with incredible respect, so how could the housekeeper dare to stop him?!

Thinking about it, the housekeeper said with some difficulty, “Mr. Warm, Mr. Lefting might not be able to follow you right now…”

“He can’t? Why no?”

“Oh, it’s because… Mr. Wood said so.”

Peter answered, “I understand. If he wants Aurum, get Shawn to come to see me.”

Just like that, Peter brought Aurum away.

The housekeeper was forced to report it to Shawn immediately.

When Shawn heard that, he merely said, “I understand.”

It was like nothing was wrong. However, Shawn hung up the next second.

Peter had never treated Shawn as his son-in-law before.

In fact, Peter treated everyone with a smile. He was a gentle and good old man. Yet, to him, Peter always acted cold and emotionless!

Shawn knew that Peter hated him and blamed him for what had happened in the past.

Gale and Wendy’s death will forever stay in Peter’s heart.

So, in the past four years, Shawn had been incredibly good to Peter, giving Peter a lot of respect. However, it was all useless.

Shawn suddenly got up and left the office.

“Mr. Wood, you have a lunch meeting…” Fiona hurriedly said.

“Cancel it!”

Shawn quickly disappeared.

Beside the lake in the suburbs, the fishing rod was still there. The bait was also drifting along the water.

Peter sat down and said, “Why did Shawn suddenly cause you trouble?”

“It’s a difficult situation. She’s almost exposed.”

Peter looked around, making sure there was no round around before he lowered his voice and said, “What happened? Hasn’t she always been hidden well?”

“It’s a long story. I’ll talk to her and figure out a solution, don’t worry.”

“I…I’ve always been wondering how she has been. I want to know how the two kids are too. I want to listen to them call me their grandfather.”

Aurum smiled. “Everything’s going on very well. Joshua even won a piano tournament.”

Peter smiled lovingly. “Really? That’s great. What about Nicole?”

“Nicole… is quite smart as well. She’s like a little princess that everyone loves.” Aurum did not want to mention any bad news.

Gale was the one who told him to do that. She did not want her father to be worried. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

• “She needs to keep hiding everything well. She can’t be found. There’s nothing great about Sea City. I don’t need her to worry about me either. Everyone in the city praises Shawn for loving her so much, but none of them know how he used to torture her.”

“Whenever I see Shawn’s white hair, I feel like my eyes hurt. My daughter is gone. She’s left me forever, and I can never see her again. Yet, all he needs to do is act like he’s in love to seem so noble.”

“I’m so thankful for you, Aurum. Our family owes you a lot. If Shawn causes you any trouble in the future, come find me. I’ll shield you. He won’t do anything to me.”

Aurum was about to say something when they heard a car stopping.

A flash red sports car stopped. Shawn appeared, taking off his sunglasses.

“Father-in-law.”

Peter’s expression changed.

He hurriedly stood up. “What are you doing here? I told you so many times before. I don’t want to see you!”
