Chapter 309 Feel Relaxed
“He died?”
May revealed a surprised expression, unable to accept the shocking news for a moment.
Braden was so dignified and perfect. How could he suddenly die?
“Yes, he died. If I’m right, he died because of me.”
With a sad expression, Shirley said in a choked voice.
Although Tracy believed that Braden’s death was caused by an evil person, Shirley thought she was
also responsible for it.
To save Shirley, Braden’s leg was injured, and he was in danger. Otherwise, how could those evil
people have an opportunity?
“Really?”
May couldn’t believe what Shirley said.
Braden was heartless. He caused Shirley to be so miserable. How could he sacrifice himself to
save Shirley? There must be some misunderstanding.
“I don’t know if it is true. At least from what I know, his death is not necessarily caused by me, but I
have an unavoidable responsibility. I feel… a little sad.”
Shirley lowered her head and said quietly. Her voice was so low that it was almost like she was talking to
herself.
Yes, Shirley was very sad.
For so long, she had been pretending indifferent, as if Braden’s death had no effect on her at all.
But late at night, when Shirley was alone, she had to admit that she was depressed.
“Are you sad b
May asked sharply.
use of self-blame, or because you can’t bear to let go?”
“I don’t know why I’m sad. I just remember when I learned that Braden was no longer in this world, my
heart suddenly became very empty. It was like a small dot that quickly collapsed. Then, it slowly turned

more and more irrational…”
When Shirley said this, she curled up in pain and held her head with her hands. She kept repeating,
“I don’t know what happened to me. I really don’t know.”
May quickly hugged Shirley. Just like when Shirley was a child, May gently comforted her. “It’s okay,
Shirley. Don’t be sad. It’s all in the past. Braden was just your husband. You have been apart for so long.
He is gone. Don’t be affected by him.”
“But he died to save me. I feel so uncomfortable and empty… May, I didn’t lose anything. Why do I
feel so empty?”
Shirley looked at May with tears. Facing May, who brought her up since childhood and was the
closest person to her, Shirley didn’t want to pretend to be strong anymore.
“Shirley, don’t cry… A dead person will never come back. I’m so sorry for your loss. If you had
known that you hadn’t forgotten him in these four years, you should have gone back to Seatle City
and come back to him. No matter what the result is, at least there is no regret.”
May patted Shirley’s back and sighed, “Braden is so disappointing. He looks strong, and it seems
like he is impeccable. But it turns out he is so weak. He is so young, but he died. He doesn’t live up
to my expectations at all!
“Shirley, do you believe that Braden has not died? Maybe because of some other reason, he has to
fake his death.”
“I don’t know. The Stewart family has even chosen his tomb. He was burned to ashes…”
“If he is not dead, what will you do? Will you give him another chance? Will you choose to start with
him again?”
May was looking forward to a miracle in the world. She was looking forward to hearing the news of
Braden’s resurrection when she woke up.
“If he has not died and pretends to be dead, I will hate him for the rest of my life. I will never forgive
him, and I will never believe him. He doesn’t deserve so much sadness and tears from me!”
Shirley’s eyes were cold as she said firmly.
May shook her head and hit the nail on the head. “Therefore, you and Braden are not meant to be. When
he was alive, you hurt each other. After he dies, you feel sad for him. Do you think you are
asking for trouble?”
“I…”
“Listen to me and wipe away your tears. Don’t be sad. Just pretend that Braden is alive in another corner
of the world. It’s just that you will never meet him again. Just like in the past four years, you
let go and lived a carefree life. You should move on.”
“May, you are right. I am out of control. I shouldn’t be affected so much by someone who no longer
exists. I want to be like before and get rid of all these messy feelings. Without love, I will feel
relaxed.”
After being comforted by May, Shirley suddenly became enlightened. She wiped away her tears and told
herself not to be depressed anymore. She had to stand up!
For the first time, Shirley slept soundly without resorting to hypnosis or piano.
When she woke up, it was past seven o’clock.
Today, Shirley was going to send Bennett and Alisha to Monteria International Kindergarten with
May.
The two children joined the school in the middle of the course. Because it was the first day, there
would definitely be a lot of things to deal with.
Shirley decided to go early.
Thus, without hesitation, she got up.
The two children also got up.
Just as Shirley was thinking about how to make a nutritious and delicious breakfast for the two
children, the doorbell suddenly rang.
When she opened it, she found it was the errand boy from that day again.
“Hello, Ms. Wilson. Your breakfast is ready. Please enjoy it.”
Before Shirley could ask more, the errand boy had left.
With no other choice, Shirley could only open the thermos box and take out the breakfast inside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCompared to before, the breakfast was much less rich, but it looked much more exquisite, and it
emitted a temption fragrance.
“Mommy, does breakfast arrive?”
Bennett was listless, but when he saw the breakfast on the table, he immediately smiled.
“Yes, but are you sure you want to eat it? Have you forgotten the painful experience from last
time?”
When Shirley thought of the terrible breakfast she ate last time, she had lingering fears and did not
dare to try again.
“Mommy, what are you afraid of? He is a famous chef in Seatle City. It is normal for him to fail once in a
while. This time, I believe breakfast is delicious. I have smelled the fragrance. Don’t worry and
eat!”
Bennett had high expectations for Mr. Quintin.
Bennett believed that after so many days, Mr. Quintin must have made some progress.
“I don’t dare to eat it. If you want to, go ahead.”
Shirley touched her stomach and thought about the taste last time. She almost vomited.
“Eh, I don’t dare to eat it either…”
Bennett shrugged.
Although Bennett was very supportive of Mr. Quintin, Bennett did not dare to support him in
action.
What Mr. Quintin cooked last time almost made Bennett quit the habit of having breakfast.
At this time, Alisha woke up and slowly walked over in pink rabbit pajamas.
“This cake looks so beautiful. I like cakes the most!”
Without hesitation, Alisha picked it up and put it into her mouth.
“Hey, Alisha, don’t…”
Shirley could not stop it, so she could only let poor Alisha be the first trier.
Shirley and Bennett stared at Alisha and asked gingerly, “Does it … taste good?”
