Chapter 92 The Sequela of Love
Braden picked up his phone and habitually dialed Shirley’s number. Suddenly, he remembered he had
been blacklisted by her and became angrier.
“Rachel.”
Braden called his secretary angrily.
The secretary walked into Braden’s office in fear. “Mr. Stewart, what can I do for you?”
“Give me your phone.”
“My phone?”
Although Rachel was confused, she handed her phone to Braden respectfully.
Braden said nothing and dialed Shirley’s number.
The call was connected in three seconds.
“Hello?”
Shirley’s voice came from the other end of the line. It sounded casual and cheerful.
It was reasonable that she was cheerful. She had gotten millions of dollars from Braden.
“Are you in a good mood?”
Braden said in a voice dripping with sarcasm.
Shirley recognized Braden’s voice and said indifferently,
“You are so good at doing business that you made millions of dollars easily. I’ve underestimated
you.”
“Mr. Stewart, thanks to your generosity, my house can be refurbished. I won’t mind you being
generous again.”
Braden was speechless.
Shirley used to be obedient and sensible. He didn’t expect her to be so annoying.
Braden believed Shirley might drive him mad.
“Since I have given you millions of dollars, shouldn’t you delete my name from your blacklist?”
Braden resisted the impulse to teach Shirley a lesson and calmly fought for his rights.
He didn’t want his millions of dollars to be wasted.
Braden would get his money’s worth if he were no longer on Shirley’s blacklist.
“No.”

to the court and win the case ”
“You…”
Before Braden could finish his words, Shirley hung up the phone
How could she do that?
Braden would feel humiliated if he called Shirley again. Moreover, it was likely that she would not answer
him again.
After thinking about it, Braden decided to take a different approach by using an alternative ID. It was the
advice from Keith.
“Rachel, get me a new SIM card as soon as possible.”
Braden ordered coldly.
Rachel had heard the talk between Braden and Shirley She thought it was fair.
Braden used to be proud. However, he was humble at that moment.
One shouldn’t fall in love easily. If he did, he had to be humble, no matter if he was a pure boy or an
aggressive man.
In the Wilson’s house.
After hanging up Braden’s call, Shirley felt somewhat depressed.
To make her drop her lawsuit against another woman, her ex–husband had been humble to her. Shirley
thought she was a loser.
She had tried her best to be as demure and obedient as a wealthy man’s wife. Even if she was bullied,
she had to endure it and not dare to let him know. She didn’t want to make things difficult
for him.
However, her ex–husband betrayed her at last.
Shirley would not be so angry if Braden betrayed her because of someone as perfect as Cherry, his
first love.
However, he fell in love with Amelie, who was hypocritical.
Amelie was not only hypocritical but also wicked.
After being defeated by Amelie, Shirley thought Braden didn’t deserve her love, which had lasted for four
years.
Shirley, who was in a bad mood, went to bed early after a bath
She woke up at midnight and couldn’t fall asleep again.
Shirley looked at the moon and felt sad. She picked up her phone to listen to music.
She found that someone wanted to friend her on Line
The profile picture was the bright moon rising from the vast ocean. It was with an inexplicable sense of
loneliness.
The requesting message was “Have a chat?”
Shirley wanted to turn a blind eye to it, but she accepted because of loneliness.
Shirley found it was a new account because there was nothing in its Moments.
For a moment, Shirley wondered if it was Braden’s alternative account.
However, she excluded the possibility soon.
As the president of the Stewart Group, Braden wouldn’t play such a childish trick.
The other side said nothing to Shirley. Shirley was curious and asked, “Are you my acquaintance?”
Shirley thought the other side was typing.
She waited for a long time but received no message.
Shirley became more curious and asked again, “Do you know me?”
The other side said nothing.
What was wrong?
At first, Shirley was not interested in the stranger, but she gradually had a strong desire of
challenging.
How could someone be so weird? It seemed to be an aloof and handsome young man. He might be
spoiled by women, so he was arrogant.
Shirley was annoyed and had a long list of complaints, so she took the other side as a tree hollow.
The function of a tree hollow was to listen and never speak.
In the night, the phone glowed faintly. Shirley typed a lot of words.
“Do you hate someone?
“You may not because you are young. I do. It is ironic that I hate someone who I used to love.
“I swear I have never met a man as stupid as him. Let’s call him an idiot.”
On the other side, Braden sat in the bright president’s office, looking at the flashing neon lights outside
with mixed feelings.

Shirley kept sending messages. Braden had to put his work aside.
When he saw the word “idiot“, he frowned and was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up.
Braden wondered whether Shirley knew he was chatting with her with an alternative account, so she
scolded him deliberately.
Braden didn’t know how to reply, so he said nothing.
Then, he was bombarded with messages of complaint from Shirley.
“How annoying is the idiot? He always pretends to be as cold as ice. In fact, he is just an ordinary man.
His taste is bad. Although he knows the woman is wicked, he indulges her. Is he blind? Shame on me for
ever loving such a man.”
Braden kept silent.
He was sure Shirley knew who he was and was blaming him.
Just as Braden was about to fight back, he received and
ssage from Shirley
“It’s so strange. I don’t love him anymore. However, I still feel sad. Could it be the sequela of love?”
Staring at the message, Braden was lost in thought for a long time.
Deep in his heart, he felt sorry for Shirley.
What Braden did to Amelie was hurtful to Shirley, but he had no choice.
Braden respected Charles very much. Before Charles died, he asked Braden to take care of Amelie. And
the baby carried by Amelie was the only child of Charles.
Charles sacrificed himself to save Braden.
Therefore, Braden had to keep his promise and take care of Amelie and her child.
If Braden had to fail someone, it could only be Shirley. To be exact, he could only fail himself.
Braden had a good deal to talk to Shirley, but he did not reply a single word.
Looking at the bright moon through the floor–to–ceiling window, he took a picture of it and sent it
!ון
to Shirley. Then, he put his phone aside.
When Shirley saw the picture, she felt somewhat warm though there was no single word.
“The moon is so beautiful tonight. I hope he can see it.”
After sending the message, Shirley also put her phone aside. Her loneliness was not stronger than
before. She closed her eyes in peace and fell asleep.
“The moon is so beautiful tonight.” It was a whisper of love and meant “I love you“.
It was a secret. Shirley kept it in her heart and would not tell anyone.
