Chapter 423 Another Act
When Shirley was still hesitating about whether to let Tracy take the child away, Tracy suddenly
became serious.
"Shirley, I know that you hate our Stewart family. You hate my son and me. We really went too far in the
past and did a lot of things to hurt you. But my father has always treated you sincerely and considered
you as his granddaughter. You won't refute that, right?"
"Mr. Stewart is good to me. I always remember that."
"So, in order to make him happy, you will listen to us this time, okay?"
Shirley remained silent.
Tracy sighed when she saw that Shirley was still unwilling to let go. "You may not know, but Mr.
Stewart's physical condition is already very bad. The doctor said that it is still unknown if he can survive
this winter."
"What?"
When Shirley heard that, her heart skipped a beat. "Didn't Mr. Stewart already have a heart transplant?
I remember the surgery was very successful."
"Shirley, have you forgotten? That was four years ago. You left Seatie City for 4 years, and Mr. Stewart
was four years elder. The heart transplant has limits. The risk grew bigger over time. In addition, he has
many basic diseases, so his current condition is actually not good."
"Mr. Stewart never told me this. Every time I go to see him, he is full of energy. I thought his body
recovered very well."
Shirley's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
In her heart, Howard was like her biological grandfather, having a very important position.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking that such a good man would disappear from the world like her grandfather, Shirley felt very
uncomfortable.
"During the years you left, Mr. Stewart kept talking about you every day. He would keep blaming
Braden for being stupid and letting go of such a good girl like you. Mr. Stewart looked forward to seeing
you every day, hoping that you could come back, reconcile with Braden, and even have a baby so that
he would be the great grandfather."
Tracy was not an emotional woman, but when she said that, she was so sad that she almost cried.
Then Tracy cleared her throat and said, "Braden didn't want me to tell you this. He said that we couldn’t
use this to force you. And Mr. Stewart didn't allow me to say it either. He wanted you to reconcile with
Braden, but he wanted you to be happy even more. Mr.
Stewart hated seeing you force yourself.
"But, I saw that Mr. Stewart's condition was getting worse day by day. I was really afraid that he would
leave regrets, so I..."
Tracy's voice became softer and softer. In fact, she also knew that it was unreasonable for her to take
the two children away rashly. It was normal for Shirley to be furious.
But in the current situation, if Tracy did not take them away, she figured she would have to wait for a
long time.
The children were still young and strong. They could do whatever they wanted, but Howard could not
afford to wait that long.
"I know!"
Shirley took a deep breath and struggled for a long time. "If the kids can cheer Mr. Stewart up, I will
allow you to take them to accompany Mr. Stewart. The grudge between me and Braden should not
affect the elders and the children."
"Shirley, I know that you are a person with a big heart. Why did Braden and I act like that in the past?
You are such a good person, and yet I actually chose that foxy Amelie over you."
"Don't mention what happened in the past anymore. I am not a person with a big heart. When the kids
finish their missions, it will be the time of the real battle between me and the Stewart family."
Shirley said coldly and hung up the phone.
Then she returned to Braden's room and suppressed her anger. Shirley asked Braden, "Why didn't you
tell me about Mr. Stewart?"
Braden was very calm. His handsome face was full of sadness. “This is a matter of the Stewart family.
And there is no need for you to know."
"Well, you just said that you wanted to marry me. And now you tell me it's just a matter of your family."
Tears welled up in Shirley's eyes as she sobbed. "Have you ever thought about how I would feel if Mr.
Stewart suddenly passed away?"
Braden smiled coldly. "How will you feel? In your eyes, the Stewart family are all evil beings. You can't
wait to watch us die and stay away from us."
"Braden, you bastard!"
Shirley rushed to Braden in anger. She raised her arm and was ready to punch him. But when she
thought that Braden was lying down and couldn't move, Shirley couldn't make the move. She could
only say in a fiercer tone, "Do you think I'm a cold-blooded animal like you? You know that my feelings
for Mr. Stewart are as deep as that for my biological grandfather. Why are you hiding it from me? Are
you trying to make me regret and feel guilty for the rest of my life?"
"So what if I tell you?"
Braden's gaze was indifferent, and his voice was disdainful. "Now that you know, will there be any
changes to you? Or will Grandpa recover?"
"Since I know about this, I won't let him live in regret. I want to make sure he lives every day with
happiness and joy."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShirley silently clenched her fingers and said firmly and seriously.
Braden didn't mind. "Like what?"
"Stupid Idiot!"
Shirley glanced at Braden, suspecting that he was deliberately playing dumb with her.
"I really don't know."
Braden didn't play dumb with Shirley. He just realized that Shirley's thoughts were too complicated and
difficult to figure out. He could not see through her.
"Mr. Stewart has always hoped that we could be together again. Now, we just happened to get our
marriage certificate. Isn't this what he wants? In addition, we have Ben and Ally. I even think that if Mr.
Stewart is happy, his illness might be cured."
Shirley said with an ideal longing.
Before, Shirley didn't know Howard's illness was so severe, so she never thought of pretending
anything in front of him. Now it seemed that she had to put on a show and acted close to Braden,
otherwise, Howard would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
"In other words, you are willing to start over with me again, right?"
Braden's originally cold eyes suddenly lit up with sparks.
However, Shirley was very cruel and stopped his fantasy.
"Don't get me wrong. I am just hoping for Mr. Stewart's well-being and to reunite with you. When he is
well, I will draw a clear line with you again."
Shirley explained coldly.
Braden snorted. "It's another act. You like acting so much. Why don't you become an actor?"
Shirley was confused. "What do you mean by another act? You are so weird. Why do you say I like
acting?"
After all, Shirley was a simple and direct person. She was sincere to everyone and had never acted in
front of anyone.
Except for Mr. Quintin.
