Chapter 119 Braden’s Worried About Her
Braden saw that Shirley didn’t answer for a long time and felt embarrassed. His handsome face was
stern and he said arrogantly, “It’s fine if it’s inconvenient. Anyway, I have other things to do.”
“Let’s go!”
Shirley blurted out as if it was a reflex.
Then, she felt that she was too unreserved. She awkwardly brushed her hair away from her ear.
“Although I’m very busy, I can take some time to eat a midnight snack.”
Obviously, she wanted to go, but she insisted on finding an excuse. Seeing this, Braden smiled.
She was so cute when she acted like that!
They walked out of the cinema and went to a famous food court nearby.
“What do you want to eat?”
Braden turned around and asked Shirley, who was following behind him.
“I don’t care. Just need it to be light.”
“Light?”
“I remember that you used to like strong flavors. When did you change it?” Brade frowned.
Shirley naturally wouldn’t tell Braden that she had to eat light food because she only said lightly, “I can
change my man. Isn’t it normal to change my favorite fla
This was obviously referring to Braden.
mant. She
Braden didn’t answer. He pointed at a restaurant that was elegantly decorated and said, “Drink some
fungal soup. This is light enough and easy to digest.”
Shirley nodded. “It should be delicious.”
In this season, all kinds of fungi were harvested. The fungal soup was delicious and healthy.
They chose a table by the window and sat face to face.
For a moment, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
“Um… Do you want to drink something, such as tea or something like that?”
Braden broke the silence gently, which was rare for him.
Shirley waved her hand and said politely, “No need. I have soup. I’m afraid I’ll be full before my
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsoup comes.”
“That’s true.”
Then, there was an awkward silence.
They were like a couple who had just confirmed their relationship Although they had feelings for
each other in their hearts, they were polite and shy on the surface
Shirley never expected that one day, she and Braden would be able to sit down and eat peacefully.
Braden could even be like a boyfriend and be considerate of everything
Things that she didn’t dare to hope for in marriage were easily realized after they got divorced. It
was a little ironic!
“Come on, here is the fresh fungal soup. It’s made from eighteen kinds of wild fungi. It’s delicious.
A bowl of it is enough to cure insomnia, prolong life, and so on. You have to drink a few more
bowls!”
The waiter carried a clay pot of fungal soup. Finally, the overly quiet atmosphere between Braden
and Shirley became lively.
The lid of the pot was lifted, and the hot air was fragrant.
The waiter served both Braden and Shirley a serving, “The two of you please enjoy it wh le it’s hot.
You definitely won’t be disappointed.”
Then, he left.
Shirley eagerly took a sip and revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. “Ah, it’s deor It’s
really delicious!”
She gulped down a big bowl.
Braden took a light sip and felt that the taste was average.
However, he didn’t say anything when he saw how much Shirley liked it.
As they enjoyed the food, they felt much more relaxed.
Braden asked Shirley, “What plans do you have for the future?”
Shirley swallowed a large mouthful of fungal soup and asked, “What plans?”
“It’s impossible for you to really work in business. This area is complicated, and every step is dangerous.
You can’t win.”
Braden had been in the business world for so many years, and he knew it was not something a
woman could deal with.
Although he and Shirley had divorced, he did not want women to live such an unstable life.
“How do you know whether I can win or not?”
Shirley looked up at Braden and smiled confidently and calmly. “Look at me now. I’m pretty good at it,
aren’t I? Korita Group was only established a few months ago, and I’ve already established cooperation
with a big client. I’ve also become the president of the Electronics Technology Association. Everything is
going in the right direction. Forgive me for not seeing where the danger
is.”
“You are naïve!”
Braden couldn’t help but shake his head and say in a serious tone, “First of all, the Burman Group is a
time bomb. Although Jack is generous to you now, you will know how ruthless he is when he hurts you!
“Furthermore, the market scale is limited. If you suddenly take such a large part, even if I don’t care,
there will be others who will care. If you are too aggressive, you will fail halfway. I advise you to leave as
soon as possible, or you will have no chance to regret it!”
He said these things sincerely. He gained these lessons from his experience. He didn’t want Shirley to
live a hard life.
“If you lack money, you can tell me directly. You and I used to be a couple. I can take responsibility for
the rest of your life.”
Shirley sneered at Braden’s words.
“Mr. Stewart, don’t you think it’s too late for you to be nice to me now? And you’re rea arrogant. You just
said that I couldn’t do it and that I had to rely on you for the rest of my lif
Braden said coldly, “I didn’t mean that.”
“You don’t mean that. Then what do you mean?”
“I just…”
Braden wanted to say something, but he stopped. His expression was so stern. “Don’t you forget how
your parents died? How did the Wilson family fall? Do you think you are better than your parents?
“Or do you think that you are better than me? Do you know that my brother died in front of me, but I
could do nothing about it?”
When he said this, he slightly clenched his fists, and his eyes turned slightly red.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCharles was his eternal pain, constantly reminding him how weak and incompetent he was.
He really did not want Shirley to suffer from this.
Only then did Shirley understand that Braden was worried about her.
She had mixed feelings.
“Well, you don’t have to worry about me…”
Shirley took a deep breath and said, “I’ll be honest with you. I actually don’t intend to get into the
business world. It’s too tiring. I don’t have the energy. I just want to follow my plan and make my life
easier in the future. When my plan succeeds, I will leave!”
“Leave?”
Braden stared at Shirley and asked, “Where are you going?”
“I have no comment on that. But not Seatle City anyway.”
She originally wanted to leave secretly, but since he had already asked her, she felt that it was fine, to be
honest.
Complicated emotions appeared in Braden’s heart. After a moment of silence, he said coldly, “If leaving
makes you feel happier, then you can leave.”
Even though deep down, he did not want Shirley to leave.
But now, he could only let her go since he had no right to keep her.
This meal was especially harmonious. There was no hatred, no quarrel, and no sarcast
They put down their unhappiness aside. Like friends who had known each other for many yes, they
chatted for a long time….
After finishing the pot of soup, Shirley felt dizzy and her vision became blurry.
After finishing their meal, they walked out of the soup shop and arrived at the parking le
“Shall I send you back?”
Braden asked Shirley.
“There’s no need. I’ll take a taxi back.”
Shirley endured the dizziness and waved at Braden.
Just as the two were about to part ways, Shirley suddenly grabbed Braden’s arm. “Quick, get in the
car!”
