Chapter 142 I’m Over Him
The car arrived at the Wilson’s house.
Keith parked the car and looked around. He said, “It’s a good place, but it looks too empty. I heard that
this place was haunted. Most of the residents here moved away. Are you afraid? Anyway, you
live in such a big place alone.”
Shirley laughed, “What’s there to be afraid of? Humans are much more terrifying than ghosts. I’m
not afraid of humans, so I naturally won’t be afraid of ghosts.”
She unfastened her seatbelt, opened the door of the passenger seat, and prepared to get out of the
car.
Keith placed his long arms on the steering wheel and looked at Shirley. Suddenly, he wanted some more
and asked Shirley “Aren’t you going to invite me upstairs for tea?”
Shirley turned around, her fair face revealing a gentle smile. She said gracefully, “Of course, no
problem. I have some perfect tea in my place.”
Shirley’s smile was like a blooming rose, bright and charming. Keith was totally attracted.
Keith suddenly got shy. He looked away with embarrassment and cleared his throat. “Okay. I’ll go with
you.”
They got out of the car and went into the Wilson’s house.
These days, the Wilson’s house was no longer as shabby and dilapidated as it used to be. Shirley and
May worked together to make it a paradise filled with flowers. It was bright inside.
“Wow, this place looks fresh and elegant though it looks normal inside. It seems like a relaxing
place…”
Keith took a deep breath and stretched his body in enjoyment. He made a bolder request. “Do you have
any extra empty rooms in your house? Can I stay for a few days? I can pay ten times the price of
a hotel room…
“Hey. You probably don’t know that. I have been under great pressure because of that lawsuit. I need to

Keith appeared to be the host of this house. He almost wanted to lie on the sofa.
“Can you be more shameless? Don’t go too far.”
As Shirley spoke, she opened the closet, took out her treasured tea leaves, and prepared Keith a cup
of tea.
May wasn’t around at this time She probably went out to buy some groceries. Only Shirley and
Keith were left in the house.
However, for some reason, Shirley didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. She felt like being with an old friend.
She didn’t have any other feelings.
Perhaps, in this world, she would only feel uncomfortable when facing Braden. She always thought
too much at that time.
Shirley was an expert at making tea. She had many professional tools to make tea and beautiful cups to
hold the tea.
Keith carefully took a sip and praised, “Good tea!”
“It’s good that you like it.”
Shirley also took a sip. She was always elegant no matter what she was doing.
To be honest, she was very grateful to Keith because he was willing to rent that piece of land to her
at a low price. This helped her solve a big problem.
Even if he didn’t mention that, she prepared to invite him to tea.
The tea room was located on the second floor. There was a large floor–to–ceiling window. The scenery
of the back garden could be seen.
In the back garden, large patches of golden sunflowers swayed in the wind, making people feel
ecstatic.
“These sunflowers are really brilliant. The Stewart’s house was filled with sunflowers before. Just as
Braden said, you do like sunflowers. Are there any special meanings?”
Keith looked at the sunflowers with praise and asked curiously.
“No special meaning.”
Shirley slowly took a sip to enjoy the tea. She explained with an indifferent expression, “At first, I liked
them because of the flower language of sunflowers. Now, I like them because I think they are strong.
They always grow toward the sun no matter how difficult the situation they are facing. That sounds
encouraging ”
“What is the language of sunflowers?”
Keith asked again.
Shirley didn’t answer.
She just smiled and lowered her head to enjoy the tea.
“If you don’t tell me, I will search for it myself.”
Keith took out his mobile phone and searched for relevant information in the search engine. He quickly
got the answer and read it out loud. “The flower language of sunflowers is ‘I love nobody but you.‘ Does it
represent your feelings for Braden?”
Still, Shirley said nothing.
Shirley just turned around and looked at the sunflowers seriously.
Keith was insensible. He had to get the answer. “So you really love Braden that much? I thought that
you married him for status and money before.”
Shirley shook her head and denied, “I used to be like that. But now, I have come to my senses. There
is plenty of fish in the sea. I’m over him now. As long as I find someone suitable, I will start a new
relationship right now.”
“Wait!”
Keith keenly caught the key information and asked, “You said as long as you find someone suitable.
Does it mean that you haven’t found anyone suitable yet?”
“Uh…”
Shirley swallowed her saliva and realized that she had exposed herself.
After all, in Keith’s eyes, she was already pregnant with Ewan’s child. How could she not meet

“You don’t have to be embarrassed. Breaking up and getting back together is normal between men
and women.”
Keith acted like an experienced person and expressed understanding of Shirley’s current situation. He
said, “I can tell that you and Ewan are just in a passionate relationship. You definitely don’t have any
feelings for each other. Ewan is just a brat. He is even more unreliable than me. I advise you to quickly
get rid of your child and break up with him early.”
“Oh, this… I’ll consider it.”
Shirley secretly let out a sigh of relief.
She was originally worried about how to explain it, but Keith helped her find an excuse.
“I will think about the child carefully, so… you have to keep it a secret for me. We are good friends.
You can’t let others know that. Or I can’t marry any other men.”
Shirley took the opportunity to remind Keith again.
She must not let Braden know that she was pregnant!
“Don’t worry. I don’t like gossiping with others.”
After Keith finished speaking, he paused. Deep in his heart, there seemed to be something surging.
He took a deep breath and pondered for a long time. Then, he pretended to inadvertently probe, “From
what you’re saying, you’ve completely let go of Braden. And you were only dating Ewan. So, now, there’s
no one else in your heart?”
Shirley raised her eyebrows and said in a carefree way, “Yes. That makes sense.”
“Since you are over him, does it mean that you will fall in love with another man?”
“If there is such a man, I will be willing to love him wholeheartedly.”
Although she was hurt by love, she still had hope for love. Shirley still believed in love and looked
forward to loving…
“Then I…”
Keith was about to say something.
Shirley frowned and said warily, “Keith, do you smell anything strange?”
