Chapter 569 It’s Not a Big Deal. I Can Restrain Myself
Braden’s tall and straight body hid behind the window, staring at the car for a long time until it disappeared from his sight.
‘ Braden, what are you looking at? You are so fascinated.”
Alina was bored and flipped through the magazine. When she saw Braden look out of the window and didn’t speak for a long time, she asked.
“A bird.”
Braden replied lightly.
“A bird?”
Alina felt strange. She stretched her neck, and looked out of the window, “There is nothing. How can there be any birds?”
“A bird that flew away, but I don’t think its wings are strong enough to fly to a far place.”
Braden looked away, took a sip of the coffee in his hand, and said meaningfully.
Alina had a bad premonition and it became stronger.
She was afraid the ‘bird’ in the man’s mouth was not a simple ‘bird’.
She thought for a while, and then pretended to be relaxed and asked the man, “Braden, have you seen Ms. Wilson again in the past few days?”
“Didn’t I tell you that I would never see her alone again?”
Braden’s expression was a little serious, “I’ve been with you almost every step of the way these days. You ask such a question means you don’t trust me too much.”
“I’m sorry. It’s because I love you so much. That’s why I’m so worried. I’m afraid that you will leave you.”
“We love each other so much. Why are you always so unconfident? Or, the love between us is not as invincible as we imagined?”
Braden’s eyes were full of inquiry, like a sharp knife.
“This… how could this happen?”
Alina lowered her head with some guilt, not daring to look directly into the man’s eyes.
Strictly speaking, she was like a thief, stealing Braden’s feelings for Shirley.
Braden’s affection for her now represented how deeply he loved Shirley.
If one day, he suddenly regained his memory, she, a shameful thief, would be sent back to hell in a second.
“As you said, if I have any questions, I can ask you. Then I just speak frankly.”
Braden’s eyebrows were deep, and he sighed, “I’m troubled by many things. If I don’t figure it out, I’m afraid I won’t be able to marry you attentively.
That’s why I met her alone.”
“You finally spoke it out. I have been waiting for it!”
Alina knew that from the moment the man reunited with Shirley, this day would come sooner or later, and she was destined to be a vicious woman.
After all, once Pandora’s box was opened, no one could stay aloof.
“What do you want to ask? Just ask. I know everything, and I can tell everything to you.”
The woman looked at Braden calmly, and was ready to frame Shirley and push her into a desperate situation!
“What is the past relationship between Shirley and me? I don’t believe she is just a simple ‘medication changer1, or a ‘cousin-in-law’ whom I have never heard of!”
Braden looked directly into Alina’s eyes and asked straight to the point.
“It seems that I can’t hide it from you. You do have some kind of relationship, but these relationships are more like a source of pain to you. If you forget it, it may be that God loves you and doesn’t want you to suffer.”
“But now, I don’t want to forget. I would rather suffer than be numb.”
Braden’s expression was very determined, and he was about to insist on getting to the bottom of the matter.
“You and she used to be lovers, but now you are enemies. She is Larry’s sister, the owner of Crimson Pawnshop. To avenge her brother, she designed to frame you, blind your eyes, and push you to the river around the city which is full of dark rocks. Because of this, you hit your head. I saved you recklessly. Later, maybe out of guilt or fear of revenge from the Stewart family, she hypocritically said that she wanted to make up for you. But in the end, he cruelly abandoned you because of Antwan.”
Alina spoke calmly. She made up some things and then told Braden completely upside down.
“Yes, is that so?”
Braden’s deep eyes flickered slightly because of anger, unwillingness, hatred, and a little doubt.
The gap between this and the truth he expected was too great. He couldn’t accept it for a while.
“If you believe me, that’s it. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her to clarify.”
Alina said very firmly.
These words of hers were so perfect that she was about to believe it, not to mention Braden.
In addition, there were certain witnesses like Tracy and others.
“No…”
Braden tightened his fingers slightly, and said in a cold voice, “In fact, she admitted it a long time ago, but I don’t want to believe it.”
He stubbornly believed that there must be something hidden in this. How could such a bad woman use her blood as his medicine?
Now it seemed that the matter was as simple as that. She just came to atone for her sin because she hurt him and felt sorry for him.
Braden thought, “No, Shirley. I’m not such a person easy to deal with. Since you dare to provoke me rashly, you could never leave so easily!
The car drove along the wide street toward the small village.
Shirley had been leaning against the car window. She looked at the green street scene outside the window and kept silent.
Antwan had already noticed Shirley’s depression. He knew the reason why she was unhappy.
“If you are so reluctant to part with him, you can apply for a postponement of discharge for some time. I don’t care.”
The man closed his eyes, pretending to be relaxed, and said with a half smile.
Shirley turned around and looked at the man with a calm face. She didn’t understand what he meant.
“I have nothing to be reluctant to part with him.”
She felt guilty about her words.
She could restrain herself from missing him, but the miss couldn’t be erased.
She admitted that she still loved Braden, and she never stopped caring about him in a moment.
Once she saw Braden, she couldn’t restrain herself from caring about him.
But once they met, it was like a spark that had already ignited in her heart.
“Don’t hide it. I understand what you are thinking. I never expected to get your love. I’m lucky enough to have you by my side. Don’t hide your emotions. Just be yourself.”
Antwan said freely.
He was indeed quite thoughtful. Since he had her by his side, he was not greedy to get her love.
“Okay, I was defeated by you. You are right. I am a little bit reluctant to part with him. Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal. I can restrain myself.”
Shirley didn’t want to hide it anymore. She admitted it openly. At the same time, she shook Antwan’s hand, which gave him a sense of security.
Antwan didn’t say much. He asked the driver, “We are about to reach the antique shop on South Street, right? Stop there. I’m going to get something.”
“What is this?”
“I said it was a surprise for you. If I tell you in advance, it would be boring.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Antwan continued to be mysterious, which made Shirley fairly curious.
