Chapter 133 The Unspoken
Unlike what Braden had expected, the one giving him mouth–to–mouth resuscitation wasn’t Shirley at all.
Instead, it was a swarthy, beefy lifeguard.
“Fuck!”
Braden sprang up from the ground at once and pushed the lifeguard ten feet away.
Seeing that, Shirley was overjoyed. “Great! Braden, you made it! I’m so glad!
“Shirley, you are doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”
Braden’s face was so gloomy. He kept wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
He thought, how embarrassing! My reputation is ruined now. Shirley, this is not over!
Shirley did not know what Braden was thinking. She thought Braden meant it, and he was so weak that
he needed artificial respiration. Therefore, she found the most professional person for him.
Seeing how energetic he was right now, she realized that he was no longer in danger. She was
genuinely happy, and she subconsciously rushed forward and held him, sobbing, “I’m so glad. Braden,
you are not dead. Karen is right! You are a lucky man.”
At the last second, Braden was still burning with rage. Yet now, he instantly calmed down.
After all, the woman in his arms sounded so delicate and cute, not to mention that she cared about him
so much. How was he supposed to stay mad?
Braden was still not used to Shirley caring about him this much. He cleared his throat, stroked her hair
with his large palm, and said with interest, “You are so afraid that I might die. Then why did you say that if
I died, you wouldn’t shed a tear for me? Woman, you’re so two–faced.”
His words made Shirley come back to her senses. She quickly let go of him and distanced herself from
him. Then she said coldly, “You didn’t take your life seriously. If you die, of course, I won’t shed a single
tear for you.”
“But there are still tears on your cheeks…”

“Your dress is wet with water. Did you go into the water to save me?”
“That was… because I liked to tread on the waves. What does it have to do with you?”
Shirley stubbornly refused to admit how worried she had been about Braden.
Braden nodded in understanding. Then he said meaningfully, sounding like he was comforting her,
“Alright then. I got it now. You don’t care about me. Next time this happens, don’t worry. I will be
back safely.”
“There will be a next time?”
As if she had heard something only jackasses would say, she slapped him hard and clenched her fists.
Then she warned him sternly, “If you dare to be so reckless next time, you might as well just die! It’ll save
me the trouble of worrying about you!”
“Worry about me?”
Braden smiled and asked, “I thought you didn’t care about me at all.”
Shirley didn’t say anything.
She didn’t know what to say.
No matter how stubborn she was and how much she denied it, the fact remained. She failed to let go of
Braden. She still cared about his every move and didn’t want anything to happen to him at all.
Shirley found an excuse for herself. She cared about him since he was the father of her two babies. She
was worrying about him for their sake.
Their feelings drifted between them together with the sea breeze.
Both of them chose to leave the unspoken intact.
Suddenly, there was news from Cherry.
“She is awake! She is awake! Ms. Tierney is finally awake!”
Braden and Shirley looked at each other and walked over to see what was going on.
Cherry choked on too much water and was unconscious. After being rescued, she finally spat out the
water and recovered.
Though she was lying in Karen’s arms, she looked around, as if she was looking for someone.
Sandra was crying. She held Cherry’s hand and asked, “Cherry, how are you feeling? What are you
looking for? Look at me…‘
“Braden… Where is he?”
”
Cherry said weakly in a hoarse voice.
She nearly died. Right now, she no longer wanted to pretend anymore.
She loved Braden and could not let him go whatsoever, so, he was the only one she wanted to see
now.
“Mr. Stewart?”
People looked embarrassed.
Cherry was the bride. However, the first thing she did after her narrow escape was ask for another man
other than the groom. It seemed to everyone that Karen was a cuckold.
Karen’s handsome face froze slightly. Then he whispered to the woman in his arms, “It was Braden
who risked his life to save you. You owe him some proper thanks.”
“Braden saved me?”
Finally, Cherry’s face wasn’t so ghastly pale. She cried with joy, “I knew it. He cares about me.
Braden… Where is he? I want to see him.”
Cherry was surrounded by guests tightly, whereas Braden and Shirley were at the outermost edge
of the crowd.
After knowing that Cherry was OK, Braden grabbed Shirley’s hand and was about to leave.
Shirley stood in situ and teased him, “Are you trying to be the anonymous hero here?”
Braden rolled his eyes at Shirley and warned, “Another sarcastic word, and I’ll throw you into the
sea.”

Shirley immediately chickened out and smiled awkwardly, “Fine. I’ll shut up, alright?”
At the same time, the others voluntarily moved aside, and Cherry finally saw Braden, the man she
had been longing for.
“Braden…”
However, her ecstatic smile froze when she saw Braden and Shirley’s clasped hands.
Braden risked his life to save Cherry. However, instead of waiting for her to wake up, he was now holding
another woman’s hand.
Her heart was first filled with hope, and then the hope was taken away from her. After being rekindled,
the flame of hope went out again.
The seeds of jealousy took root and sprouted in her heart uncontrollably.
Cherry tried her best to hide her real emotions and put on a pitiful look, staring at Braden from afar.
“Braden, I heard that you risked your life to save me… You have saved me so many times. How may I
repay you?”
Braden stood in situ and did not step forward. His handsome face was still cold and indifferent as if she
was a total stranger “Saving people is just my instinct, and you do not have to thank me.”
Cherry didn’t say anything.
His words were like a knife stabbing her heart, hurting her.
Once upon a time, Braden was willing to give up everything for her, including his life. Yet now, he
disdained to acknowledge the feelings they once had. It was so hurtful.
Hester looked back and forth at Braden and Cherry.
As an actress, Hester knew things between men and women very well.
Anyone who wasn’t blind could see that Cherry still loved Braden, but Braden had already moved on.
Right now, he cared more about Shirley, his ex–wife.
At first, Hester was worried about how to topple Shirley, this powerful opponent of hers.
At the sight of Cherry, Hester suddenly had a plan.
Hester walked to Cherry. Pretending that she was worried, she asked, “Ms. Tierney, how are you feeling?
We were so worried. How come you fell into the sea without any warning? Did … someone push you into
the sea?”
