"Thankfully, you managed to steal that place away from Gale. That's why we can live a life of luxury right now."
Susan smiled and said, "It's because you're so good with your plans. It's thanks to your schemes that we're in this position now."
"Whatever, we shouldn't talk about this so much. We absolutely can't let anyone else know," The dean answered, "Susie, you should go ask Mr.
Wood when he'll send you the money. I'll only be able to relax when the money's in our hands." |1
"Okay, dad. I'll ask as soon as I can. There's also those houses..."
Gale was in no mood to listen to what followed.
Her whole head was filled with the fact that her child was Shawn's. What they said
constantly echoed in her ears.
At that moment, Gale did not know what to think. She merely stared forward in a daze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow could the child be Shawn's?
She did not want to believe it.
Yet, the dean and Susan had said it
themselves. There wa sno way it was wrong.
Even if she did not want to believe it, the truth was right in front of her.
Gale shut her eyes as her heart turned gray. So...
That night, after she fled the old man, the room she had mistakenly barged into had been Shawn's room.
The man who had her that night was Shawn.
The child she had was naturally Shawn's.
It was because she had never had any relations with another man before.
Gale would never forget what Shawn whispered into her ears that night.
"I will marry you."
Shawn did exactly what he said she would.
After that night, he looked for her everywhere.
Yet, Gale did not know that. The one who knew was the dean.
It was the dean who tricked her into going to the hotel from the mental hospital, giving her to the old man. After that, Shawn looked everywhere for
her, and the dean smartly arranged for Susan to take her place.
The truth suddenly became clear in her mind.
Gale knew that that had to be what happened.
It could also explain why Shawn was so insistent on marrying Susan, and why he said that he owed Susan a lot.
"How absurd..." Gale mumbled, her fingernails scratching the table, "It's like a dream."
She woke up from the dream, and her mind was blank.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer heart felt like it was being gripped tightly. She was struggling to even breathe properly. She clutched her chest tightly to relieve the pain.
Gale took a deep breath, and bit her lips so hard she almost bled.
She tried her best to remain calm as she looked for the conversation Susan had with her mother that day.
After some noise, she heard her mother's voice.
"You're just talking nonsense, I won't believe you! I'll only believe in my daughter!"
Susan said, "I can swear on the lives of my family that I'm not lying. Old lady, everything I say is true. I just wanted to tell you the truth because of
how pitiful you are being kept in the dark."
"What do you want to tell me this time?"
"Did you know that Gale was pregnant?"
"Last time, y-you said that she married Shawn. Then the child is..."
"Gale's child is Shawn's!"
Every word in that conversation felt like a stab on Gale's heart.
