Chapter 512 Get Addicted After a Sip
Braden's words confirmed Shirley's suspicions that he had gone blind.
She was standing right in front of him, but he couldn't see her at all.
"Then you must be Alina."
Without giving it much thought, Braden pointed to the chair next to him and whispered, "The moon
should be fine tonight. The night breeze is cool. Stay with me for a while."
"OK."
Shirley imitated Alina's voice and responded in a low voice.
Braden didn't notice anything unusual. In this situation, no one else was allowed to approach except his
mother and Alina. Naturally, he wouldn't think of anyone else.
Seeing the man fumbling for something, Shirley guessed that he was thinking about coffee, so she
thoughtfully handed the coffee cup to him.
Their fingers touched for a brief moment.
Braden's eyebrows furrowed. He seemed to have discovered something, but he didn't show it and took
a sip of his coffee.
The two of them just sat there quietly without talking.
The night breeze brushed their faces, bringing the fragrance of flowers, which was harmonious and
romantic.
After a long while, Braden said, 'Alina, you know me well. You won't be as noisy as my mother, and you
know I love this kind of hand-ground coffee."
"I didn't like coffee before, especially at night. Whenever I get coffee, I won't sleep all night. But my ex-
wife enjoys these things. I don't know where she got the coffee beans. I don't know where she bought

has a special magic. After a sip, I get addicted to it. Overtime, I also get into the habit of drinking
coffee."
"I see."
Shirley continued to imitate Alina's voice and responded vaguely.
For the first time, she knew that this guy liked the coffee she ground.
It seemed, however, that he did not think the coffee she ground was pure and fine enough. Sometimes
he didn't even look at it and directly ordered the housekeeper to throw it away...
But now, like an old man, he kept talking about nostalgia. What an arrogant man!
"I know that you hate her so much after what happened... I should hate her too!’
Braden's handsome face was stern and painful. ' When I was at my lowest, my only wish was to see
her. When I was dying, I didn't want anything. I just wanted to hold her hand, but she left me
mercilessly and didn't care about my life. She even set me up. I'm such a simp. Even so, I can't hate
her. As long as she comes to see me, I will definitely forgive her."
Shirley didn't reply.
Tears blurred her vision as she heard the words.
She was standing right in front of him, but she couldn't tell him, let alone hug and comfort him.
"Will she come to see me?"
Braden asked humbly in Shirley's direction, then shook his head and said despondently, "Forget it. It's
better not to come to see me. I'm like a loser now. She will definitely dislike me, and I don't have the
courage to face her."
"No, she won't!"
Shirley couldn't restrain herself.
After that, she regretted it.
Although she had done her best to imitate Alina's voice, Braden could definitely sense the truth in his
being so clever.
Braden smiled and said as if he had known everything, "You've exposed yourself. You're not Alina at
all. She hates Shirley to the core and it's impossible for her to speak well of Shirley. Let me guess who
you are..."
The man frowned and thought seriously.
"Are you Cherry, Olina, or Alice? I know, you must be the girl hired by my mother newly to take care of
me, Pamela, because I've never heard of your voice!’
Shirley was speechless.
She was extremely sad, and her tears flowed down like hail. The man's words instantly made her roll
her eyes.
I didn't expect that there are so many candidates apart from Amelie and Alina.
He had guessed almost a round of women, even the housekeeper, who had not even come into
contact with him, and still he had not guessed that it would be her?!
So, was he really affectionate, or was he pretending to be affectionate?
Noticing that, Braden continued, "No matter who it is, it can never be Shirley. Otherwise, why would she
sit next to me but not dare to face me? Why would she take care of me in every way but not hug me?
This is not her style."
Shirley couldn't utter a word.
She was stunned and looked at Braden silently.
"If you are Shirley, come over and give me a hug. I can forgive you for everything you've done."
Braden held onto his last trace of hope and opened his arms, waiting for her to fall into his arms.
Although he was blind, he was not a fool. How could he not recognize that this woman was deliberately
copying Alina?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, he was not sure whether the other party was Shirley or not.
Therefore, he was unusually long-winded. He just wanted her to let go of her psychological burden and
be brave enough to commit it.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long, long time, until he himself felt too humble and too undignified, the
woman still did not throw herself into his arms.
"Sure enough, you don't like me. After all, I'm blind now. I can't even finish the most basic things on my
own. How can I be worthy of you?"
Braden let out a self-deprecating laugh and continued to open his arms, waiting for her to approach
him.
Silently told himself in his heart that at this time he gave her one last chance.
He could be with her without dignity, regardless of the past, simply.
Still silent,
Shirley covered her mouth and looked at the man's sad and despondent appearance. She didn't dare
to make a sound and shed tears silently.
She told herself over and over again that she must not be soft-hearted.
She had made a deal with God to make him safe and sound, and the price was to leave forever. Now
that he had been harmed by her to this stage, and finally got brought to life, she didn't dare to take a
little risk!
"Goodbye, Braden. Away from you is the only thing I can do for you."
Shirley thought and left the scene quietly.
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would really be softhearted and break the oath, which
would hurt each other!
At the same time, Braden felt a soft and fragrant body jumping into his arms enthusiastically. He
hugged her in surprise. "Shirley, are you finally willing to face me?"
