Chapter 290

The calls went through, but no one answered them.

It caused Shawn to worry.

His her parents in his hands, he knew that Gale would not there to run away. He was just worried that she was in danger, that something happened to her.

However, no one would dare to touch his girl in Sea City!

Shawn had his hands behind his back as he constantly paced back and forth with a dark look on his face.

Time slowly passed.

Shawn grabbed his phone again and called Gale's number.

The ringtone was suddenly heard from the door.

He looked up to see Gale walking in.

"Where did you go?!" Shawn stared at her, 'Why didn't you answer the phone?!"

Gale merely looked into his eyes quietly.

She was acting a little strange.

"Gale, speak," Shawn walked in front of her, "What happened to you?"

Gale looked emotionless, and her eyes looked dead.

Shawn started to panic as he pursed his lips, I'll be able to replace out even if you don't say anything!"

He reached out to take her phone, but she did not stop him.

There was screen full of unanswered calls and unread messages. Gale had not been looking at her phone at all!

"Ma'am," The housekeeper said, "Mr. Wood

thought something happened to you and had his men look everywhere. He was really worried."

"Get out!" Shawn had a dark look on his face as he chased everyone out of the living room.

Only the two of them remained.

Gale blinked before she slowly said, "Shawn, you could have investigated. You had the connections and the means... Why were you kept in the dark when it's something so important. You couldn't replace out anything at all." 1

"What do you mean?"

Gale wanted to continue, but the words were stuck in her mouth. She could not bring herself to say it.

She merely looked at Shawn's face quietly.

So, that night, it had been the two of them in the dark.

The dark face taht she could not remember the details of was suddenly clearly in front of her.

Gale still remembered that she thought the guy smelled a little like Shawn.

Yet, she had not seen him for a long time, so she never dared to confirm it. She just thought that she was overthinking things.

She never expected that it would actually be him!

The father of her child that she had been hoping to meet and hoping to marry for so long had been Shawn!

"Gale, why are you crying?" Shawn asked,

II

Who bullied you?"

She was stunned as she raised her hand to touch her face, noticing that her face was tear-stricken.

"N-no one bullied me," Gale answered, "I just can't control my emotions right now."

She hated Shawn.

She hated him to the bone. He was the person who had tortured her the most.

Yet, he was the one from that night. The person who wanted to marry her was him, and the child's father was him.

How could someone so conflicting be in her life?!

Shawn had a deep frown on his face.

He did not know what happened to Gale for her to act so strangely, but he did not know how to console others.

So, Shawn pulled out a few tissues in frustration, trying to wipe her tears.

His finger brushed against her face, but Gale moved her head away.
