Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Mary lowered her head, a little afraid of Shawn's aura. "Mr. Wood."

"You brought her to the door yourself. Who let her in?" Shawn snorted coldly.

He glanced at everyone in the living room.

Gale wanted to go to the Yarn family's house, but he was the one who prevented her from going.

Fortunately, Mary had been waiting in Temperley Hall for a long time! It perfectly fulfilled Gale's desires!

The servant replied falteringly, "Mr. Wood, without your permission, we... we definitely wouldn't dare to let anyone in at will. It's just Mary, she... she..."

"Hmm?"

"She has been kneeling outside the gate, and many people have seen the vehicles passing by. The housekeeper felt that this would affect your reputation, so we let her in to kneel," said the servant. Hearing that, Gale's heart ached.

She looked at Mary's knee.

It was red and swollen, covered with dust and grit, and the skin was worn out.

"Is it worth it for Natalie," Gale blurted out.

Mary did not expect her to ask such a question, and she was stunned for a few seconds before she remembered to answer, "Mrs. Wood, of course it's worth it. Natalie is my daughter, and for her, I'm willing to do anything."

Gale did not know what was wrong with her, and her heart felt a sharp pain.

The grievances and humiliations she had suffered over the years were now constantly playing in her mind.

Natalie had lived comfortably for the past twenty years, but she wanted to die and destroy herself.

What about Gale?

She had gone through ups and downs, and now she still could not touch happiness!

After Natalie had done it, she acted like a coward, implicated the Yarn family, and even asked Mary to come to the door and kneel down to beg for mercy...

"Yes, Natalie is your daughter but is she your biological daughter?" Gale stared at Mary.

Mary was stunned again.

Probably did not expect Gale to know about Natalie's life experience!

After all, Mary was a noble lady. She had seen the world and quickly put her expression away. "Mrs. Wood also knows about our family's private affairs. It's a surprise. Natalie, she...it's really not my own daughter, but over the years, I have always regarded her as my own."

"You treat Natalie as your own?"

"Yes. She was raised by me alone. I watched her grow up day by day. The relationship for so many years has already surpassed the blood relationship."

Gale stood up and looked directly at Mary.

"It turns out that in Mary's heart, the love of upbringing is far better than the love of your flesh and blood... You gave Natalie all the treatment that your own daughter can enjoy without reservation!" She suddenly smiled.

Tears flickered in Gale's eyes.

Mary did not understand why Gale was so aggravated when Natalie's life experience was mentioned.

However, she still slowed down her tone and said softly, "Mrs. Wood, although Natalie is my adopted daughter, from the moment I adopted her, I treated her as my own child."

Gale still asked forcefully, "So, to you, Natalie is closer than your own daughter?"

"I can't find my own daughter for so many years. I can only put my love for her... give everything to Natalie." This obviously touched Mary's heart, but she still tried her best to keep calm.

"I hope... I hope my daughter can have the same luck as Natalie, meet a happy family, and live a happy life. I dare not think... What had happened to her in these years."

"Every night I pray secretly, my kindness to Natalie is paying it forward, and I can somehow pass it on to my daughter..."

Speaking of this, Mary's tears fell uncontrollably.
