Chapter 72 Don’t Leave
After speaking, Shirley walked up to Braden and said to the handsome boy who was singing a love song
with Braden, “Kiddo, please move over. The seat next to his is mine.”
The handsome boy was only in his early twenties, but because he was the most popular singer in this
bar, he was very arrogant. He replied, “First come, first served. I came first. Why should I give it to you?”
Shirley raised her chin and said defiantly, “Because I am his ex–wife.”
The handsome boy was obviously stunned. But as the most popular singer in the bar, he had seen a lot,
so he said even more arrogantly, “So what if you are his ex–wife? Even if you are his wife, we won’t take
a step back. If you don’t accept it, you can complain to our manager. But mind you, our bar has a very
powerful protector.”
“You!”
Shirley was rendered speechless.
Young people nowadays could be so shameless. She was no match for him at all.
Seeing that the handsome boy’s butt was glued to the seat next to Braden’s and that he had no
intention of moving, Shirley suddenly felt everything was so ridiculous.
When they were married, she had to battle with Braden’s female admirers. Now they were divorced,
and she had to battle with Braden’s male admirers.
“Madam, he was having so much fun singing with us. Why don’t you go home and sleep? Don’t be at
killjoy here and ruin our fun.”
The beautiful man sitting on the other side of Braden said. He sounded so sissy, which gave Shirley
goosebumps.
Man… How did Braden bring himself to lay his hands on such cheesy men? Shirley was shocked.
Shirley couldn’t take it anymore and said to Braden, who had been silent the whole time, “Braden, are
you not going to say anything? If you keep silent like this, as if this has nothing to do with you,
I’ll just leave you with them. Then when you are drained by these men, don’t blame me for walking out on
you!”
Braden was indeed drunk. He couldn’t think clearly, nor could he see clearly
He had been looking at Shirley since she showed up and had not looked away once He seemed to he
trying to work out if the woman in front of him was an illusion or real
Then, he staggered up and approached Shirley, step by step, as if he was approaching food that he had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbeen craving for a long time.
Shirley swallowed and backed away. “What… What are you trying to do?”
Braden did not answer. He reached out and took Shirley’s face into his warm hands. He kneaded her
cheeks, making her face contort.
“What are you doing? Braden, let go of me!”
Braden squeezed her cheeks, and she looked so cute this way.
Braden nodded in satisfaction. “Great! Not an illusion. You’re real.”
He turned around and said coldly to the handsome boy who had just dissed Shirley, “Give her the
microphone.”
The handsome boy was intimidated by Braden. He obediently handed the microphone to Shirley and
moved over.
“What’s going on?”
Shirley didn’t know why Braden gave her the microphone.
“I remember that you sing very well. Sing for me.”
Braden said coldly.
Although he was drunk, he could vividly remember the song Shirley had sung a long time ago.
“A long, long time ago, you had me, I had you…
“A long, long time ago, you left me and flew away…”
The lyrics were so relatable.
The woman he once had left him. She was going to spread her wings and fly far away.
Braden skipped the song and insisted that Shirley sang for him. He also drove the handsome boys
out
Then only he and Shirley were left in the room.
On the screen, the song “The Outside World” started to play.
With that drunk face of his, Braden looked like a child. He stared at Shirley and sand softly, “Come, 1
want to hear you sing”
The tenderness he rarely gave her made Shirley a bit dazed.
She remembered he was also so gentle the other might when he was drunk. He gently pleaded in her
ear, “Give it to me I want you”
Shirley had very mixed feelings at the moment.
Was he trying to use the same trick to get her into bed again?
Shirley pushed Braden away and looked into his eyes. She asked, “Braden, do you remember what
happened the other night when you were drunk?”
They were very close and could feel each other’s breaths.
Braden’s hot breath had a strong smell of alcohol.
His
eyes moved slowly. He gently raised Shirley’s chin with his long fingers and asked, “What happened that
night?”
Frowning, Shirley asked with disbelief, “You can’t remember it or you don’t want to take responsibility?”
“Why don’t you tell me what happened that night?”
Braden’s voice was low, and he said both seriously and jokingly, “Only after you tell me what happened
can I know what I remember and what I forget.”
“That night…”
Shirley almost did as he said. But in the end, she chose to remain silent.
She rarely got drunk. Even if she was drunk, she would remember what she said and did the night
before. She would not forget everything.
So she didn’t believe that Braden couldn’t remember a thing.
Unless… He chose to forget it!
Since he wanted to forget that night, her bringing it up would only make both of them feel awkward.
“That night, you acted like a crazy person and did all kinds of idiotic shit.”
Shirley’s beautiful face was as cold as ice. She mocked, “If you can’t drink much, don’t drink that much.
It’s so lame to do things that don’t make sense on the excuse of being drunk and pretending to have
forgotten everything later ”
Braden was confused.
He didn’t understand what Shirley was insinuating, but he could feel that Shirley seemed to be very
unsatisfied with him.
But tonight, she embarrassed him in front of everyone Before he could get angry with her she was angry
with him Were women all so measonable?
Seeing that Shirley was about in leave, Braden pulled her into his arms under the influence of
alcohol. He whispered in her ear, “Don’t go. Stay with me.”
He did it again! And even the words were exactly the same!
Shirley was no longer so easy to give in as she was that night.

At this moment, her heart was as calm as dead water. She didn’t feel a thing.
“Braden, let me go.”
Her voice was as cold as ice, devoid of emotions.
Braden didn’t move. Instead, he held her even tighter.
“Braden, I told you to let go of me. If you don’t, don’t blame me for using force!”
Shirley warned fiercely.
Braden still didn’t move, nor did he speak
Just as Shirley was about to hit him, she heard the sound of his even breathing and realized that he
was actually asleep…
The thing was, he held her so tight that she couldn’t break free of him at all.
“Braden, drop the act. You must be awake. Let go of me, or I’ll bite you!”
After a few failed attempts to break free, Shirley cursed in anger.
She wanted to bite on his arms that were tightly around her. But she couldn’t bring herself to do it…
Just when she was in a dilemma, Liam finally showed up.
“Ah, I didn’t see anything!”
Liam covered his eyes with both hands and looked through his fingers at Braden and Shirley
holding each other tightly. He said shyly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Stewart and Mrs. Stewart. I didn’t come at
the right time. Please continue!”
“Liam, you’re finally here. Hurry up and pull your boss away from me!”
Shirley seemed to have seen her savior and called out to Liam, who was about to slip away “Your boss
fell asleep while standing. And he won’t let me go! This is insane!”
Lian, turned around and observed carefully. He discovered that Braden seemed to have indeed
fallen asleep.
However, though asleep, he held Shirley the same tight
Liam even suspected that Braden was pretending Otherwise, this was so amazing!
Liam stepped forward and pulled without using much effort. Then he spread his hands and said
helplessly, “Mrs. Stewart, the thing is, this is what will happen after Mr. Stewart gets drunk. He would hug
everything he could reach. He even got a nickname for it, ‘the Seatle Koala‘. How about you stay in this
position and let me send you home?”
Ridiculous!
So ridiculous!
Shirley’s face was sullen. She gritted her teeth and said, “Liam, you’re talking nonsense again,
aren’t you? May I ask how we are supposed to go home in this position?”
