Chapter 394 Beauty Is Not Enough
With great familiarity, Shirley went to the kitchen and began to cook dinner.
It was very strange. Although it had been so many years, when she returned to the kitchen again, not
only did she not feel unfamiliar, but she felt like she had returned to her home field.
No matter how strong Shirley looked outside, maybe subconsciously, she still enjoyed the life of making
soup
as a little woman.
Like before, Shirley quickly made a table of delicious food. It smelled good.
Different from before, the originally cold dining table became lively, and the people sitting at the dining
table
couldn’t wait any longer.
“Wow, it smells so good. Mommy, the lemon garlic shrimps are delicious. My saliva is flowing out…”
Alisha had always missed the lemon garlic shrimp made by Shirley. She ate more than ten shrimp each
time.
Unfortunately, Shirley was too busy. And she didn’t have much time to cook.
Therefore, when the little guy saw lemon garlic shrimp on the table, she grabbed it with her hands like a
starving beggar.
“Hey, Ally, don’t grab it with your hands. It’s rude…”
Shirley didn’t want Braden to feel that the two children were wolfing down their food and they were not
polite.
But when she turned around, she saw that Braden was faster than Ally and Ben. He had already begun
to eat the lemon garlic shrimp with his bare hands and wolfed them down.
The image of a noble young man was completely gone!
“Fine…”
Shirley was shocked by Braden’s ungentlemanly way of eating. She asked in a low voice, “Braden, are
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou possessed by a hungry ghost? You are so dramatic.”
Braden had already finished eating one and started to eat the second one.
He took a sip of the thick soup on the lemon gantic shrimp. The sour and spicy taste made him unable to
stop.
“You can’t blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself. You induced
me to
be like this…”
The man said seriously while he was chewing.
“Why?”
Shirley stared at the man speechlessly.
“Of course, it’s your fault. Don’t you know how good your cooking skills are? It’s so delicious. It’s like you
want

to keep my stomach and my heart, right?”
“What?”
“I can tell you now that my stomach has given up on you. From now on, you will be my private chef and I
will
only eat the food you cook.”
Braden said seriously. He had no intention of joking at all.
It was an old saying that if a woman wanted to catch a man’s heart, she had to catch the man’s stomach.
Braden had been wondering why he had been so obsessed with Shirley for so many years. After thinking
about it, he finally found the root cause.
It was the pot in front of him. The lemon garlic shrimp!
Back then, when his mother brought Shirley’s lemon garlic shrimp to him, he took one bite before it went
out
of control. He even dreamed of catching the woman back and tasting that shrimp again.
If Braden could make Shirley his wife again and make delicious food for him, he would be very happy
and
satisfied.
Unfortunately, Shirley didn’t like it at all. She said angrily, “Braden, who do you think you are? I am not
your
private chef. Just eat. Don’t talk.”
Then, she picked up a lemon garlic shrimp and stuffed it into Braden’s mouth.
Braden had never been so embarrassed and was about to lose his temper.
“This is so funny. Why is this bad guy so funny? Good job, Mommy!”
Bennett was finally amused by this scene. There was no hostility in his eyes when he looked at Braden.
This was the first time Braden had seen Bennett laugh so hard in front of him. This was the innocence a
four-year-old child should have.
His heart melted. Naturally, he was no longer angry. He lowered his head and enjoyed the delicious food.
The kids stopped laughing. They also began to enjoy the food that Shirley cooked in silence.
In a short while, the table full of delicacies food was empty. All of the dishes were almost finished.
Shirley looked at the three people who were satisfied, and she also felt satisfied too.
For a cook, it was the greatest accomplishment that the dishes they made could be finished.
In the evening, Shirley put the two children to sleep as usual.
Ben and Ally were like two pieces of sticky candy. One hugged Shirley to the left and the other hugged
her to
the right. The three of them lay on the big bed that Shirley had slept on before. They begged Shirley to
tell
them one story after another.
Ally said that to Shirley with a sweet smile.
The little girl knew that Shirley used to love him very much, but she never knew why her mom loved the

so much.
Bennett snapped like a little adult, “Can you let Mommy tell some good stories, such as how she won the
racing championship and how she became a hacker? And why is she so skilled? Who taught her that?”
In his heart, Shirley was omnipotent. She was so strong that she should not be involved with Braden.
Shirley was speechless. She closed her eyes and said, “The two of you, just go to sleep!”
“No, Mommy. Tell me about it. Ally is curious… I guess it is because he saved you, and you are
particularly
moved?”
Ally was clingy and insisted on getting the answer from Shirley.
To make Ally sleep early, Shirley had no choice but to answer truthfully, “Alright, I’ll tell you. I was moved
by
his face.”
“Mommy liked pretty boys. She was young back then. When she suddenly saw such a handsome man,
she was shocked and fell in love with him at first sight!”
Shirley recalled that she was outrageous back then.
Shirley was rational and never liked any man easily. Shirley was even more aloof when it came to men’s
pursuit. In the end, she was caught by Braden, whom she only met once.
She fell in love with him just because of his appearance and allowed him to neglect her for four years.
“Mommy, Ally is the same as you. Ally also fell in love with him at first sight. Ally has never seen
someone as good-looking as him. Ally has decided that we will live with him forever!”
Ally said it seriously.
“Ally, you are too superficial. Beauty is not enough. What Mommy needs is to be loved, protected, and
taken care of. Obviously… this guy will not love Mommy, nor will he protect Mommy. If Mommy stays with
him, she will not be happy!”
Ben was the sober one.
Shirley agreed, “Your brother is right. One has to find someone who treats her well, not the person she
likes. Those who judge a book by its cover will not be happy!”
