Chapter 494 What Are You Afraid of?
"Since you say it's a good thing, then I won't embarrass you and will take a look."
Shirley took a sip of the grape slushie, her tone bored.
"Then get ready. This thing may be a little shocking."
Larry's tone was mysterious. It was full of suspense.
Shirley rolled her eyes. "Alright, Larry, hurry up. I'm going to sleep now."
"So lazy. You always sleep for a long time. I promise you won't be able to fall asleep after you see it.”
Larry sent a video to Shirley's phone.
Shirley opened it lazily, and her expression froze. Her fingers tightened slightly.
A few minutes later, Larry asked, "How is it? Are you done?"
Shirley said lightly, "I'm done."
"Really?"
Larry was surprised and asked, "How do you feel?"
"I don't feel anything."
Shirley was calm, her face expressionless.
"That's impossible. How could you not feel anything? I, an emotionless guy, was touched just by
looking at it. As a girl who is deeply in love, you definitely have more feelings, right?"
Larry let out a long sigh. "I'm also quite surprised. Braden really has guts. For the sake of the daughter
of the Gilmore family, he's willing to sacrifice his own heart. He is giving his life away. It looks like he
really loves the daughter of the Gilmore family. He is dominated by love. If I were his family, I would
beat him to death!"
"You didn't really do something to his heart, right?"
Shirley suddenly realized something. She frowned slightly and asked nervously.

whom this guy really loves, but the result was like this!"
Larry gritted his teeth. Even though he mentioned it now, he was still furious. "The one he loves is
indeed the daughter of the Gilmore family. He is definitely a bastard. If you hadn't tried to protect him, I
would have chopped him up and fed him to the fish."
"It doesn't matter anymore."
Shirley looked at the blue sea, and her mood became better. She shrugged indifferently.
"Why so big-hearted?"
"Or what could I do? Do I have to cry like an abandoned woman?"
"If you are so big-hearted, then why haven't you come back yet? What are you afraid of?"
Larry hit the nail on the head.
"I..."
Shirley paused, somewhat unsure. "I'm just tired. I want to relax and spend more time with my children.
It has nothing to do with him."
"I hope so!"
Larry became serious, his smile disappearing. "The Stewart family will definitely take revenge. They will
work together with the Gilmore family. We don't have much time left. I need you. The Wilson family also
needs you.
"I sent you this video today to tell you that guy doesn't love you. He loves another woman. If you hide
and don't go back to Seatie City because of him, you will be too cowardly!
"I won't say anything else. Come back quickly. I, an uncle, want to see my nephew and niece as soon
as possible."
Shirley bit her lips and said in a low voice, "I understand."
After she ended the call, Keith and Nancy were back from the sea happily with Bennett and Alisha.
"Mom, look. Today, Uncle Keith took us to a treasure land and caught a lot of fish. There are also
colorful starfish. They are beautiful!"
Alisha was carrying a small bucket. Her round little face was red under the sunlight, just like a red
apple, which was so cute that people could not help but take a bite.
"Mom, look. Is the colorful starfish beautiful?"
This little girl pulled the two horns of the starfish and excitedly showed what she captured to Shirley.
"Well, it's beautiful."
Shirley forced a smile, looking absent-minded.
"Mom, what's wrong? Are you unhappy? Who bullied you?"
Alisha put down the starfish and hugged Shirley. She raised her little face and asked nervously.
"No, I am very happy. You are so great that you could get so many good things."
Shirley tried hard to cheer up and share the joy of the children's harvest.
Unfortunately, her bad mood was like the dark clouds in the sky. It was too obvious. Bennett, Keith, and
Nancy all felt it.
"Shirley, what's wrong?"
Nancy put down the bucket full offish, grabbed Shirley’s hand, and asked, "That bastard and stupid
woman showed their affection again? Give me your phone, and I'll call him and curse him to death!"
A while ago, news of Braden and Alina dating spread all over the place. Even on the isolated Sunflower
Island, they knew it immediately.
It was easy to imagine how disappointed and painful Shirley was.
If Keith hadn't stopped Nancy, Nancy would have gone back to Seatie City and beat up that jerk!
"It wasn't him. And I am not unhappy. I am quite good."
Shirley forced a smile. However, this smile was so gloomy.
"You're still stubborn! It must be him. Don't protect him anymore. That jerk keeps hurting you. He's
destroying your dignity and bullying you!"
After saying it, Nancy was so angry that she was like a bomb. She directly snatched Shirley’s phone

Keith couldn't take it anymore and said in a low voice, "Maybe there are other reasons. Don't make wild
guesses. Braden is loyal and will never change his heart for no reason."
"Do you men need a reason to change your hearts? It's just that the ty has worn off. He got tired
of an independent and bold girl like Shirley and then fell in love with that stupid woman. Didn't you
watch the video? Don't tell me someone was forcing him to show his affection!"
"Uh, this..."
"What do you want to say? Did I say something wrong? The evidence is so solid. Braden is a big jerk
who has fooled Shirley again and again. I think he should be punished fiercely!"
Facing Nancy's fierce temper, Keith raised his hands and said, "You are right. I was wrong."
The two had never been on good terms with each other in the first place. Because they had worked
together to take care of the children, they had become much more harmonious. Sometimes, they even
had a tacit understanding.
However, as long as it came to Braden, they would definitely fall out with each other at any moment.
"Since you are wrong, you call him."
Nancy handed the phone to Keith and said with a fake smile, "He is your good friend, isn't he? Call him
immediately and scold him to show your loyalty."
"This is not very appropriate, right?"
Keith felt very embarrassed and whispered, "Besides, His phone has been out of service all this time. I
don't know where he is."
"Don't make excuses. You just don't dare, or you are the same kind of a jerk as him!"
"How is that possible? I am different from him. I am a real jerk but not sure if he is."
Seeing the two argue, Shirley, who had been silent all this time, said in a flat tone, "There is no need to
argue. Let's go back now. You can scold him face to face.’
