After Rebirth I Married My EX- Husband's (Enemy Laurel) novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220 They Break Up
“Not much,” Paul chuckled, “I just took a few puffs.”
Shelley knew that he was deceiving her.
She also didn’t want to expose Paul.
This was because Shelley knew that Paul didn’t want her to worry about him.
The only thing she has to do now is to make Paul believe her. She said, “Paul, no matter what happens, I could never marry Nathan. His threats are useless. Our marriage is our own. Even if we were driven out by the Cooper family, I won’t leave you.”
Paul looked at Shelley.
At that moment, Shelley did not see any change in Paul’s expression.
Even.
There were still some lonely ones.
Paul smiled sadly. He said, “I’m sorry, Shelley, I backed down.”
Shelley looked at Paul.
She stared at him with wide eyes.
She always felt that she had heard a lot of earth-shattering news in the past two days.
She always doubted if there was something wrong with her

ears.
She refused to believe that the people around her had changed.

“Sorry. I didn’t have your bravery. I decided to compromise,” Paul said, emphasizing each word.
“What does compromise mean?” Shelley’s eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Her eyes welled up with tears. She looked at him, her eyes not blinking at all.
She was afraid of missing out on his expressions, which caused her to miss out on a lot of information.
“We broke up,” Paul said very clearly.
He didn’t seem like he was joking.
Moreover.
When did Paul joke with her?
Shelley’s tears slid down from her eye sockets. “Why?”
“I didn’t want you to go to jail. I also couldn’t accept you having nothing for my sake.”
“But I didn’t care about any of that. Nathan put me in jail, so I went to jail. He made me pay him a leg, so I paid him. He made me leave the Cooper family with nothing, so I left. I didn’t care about any of that!”
“I cared about Paul,” he suddenly became excited.
Chapter 220 They Beak Up
He clearly used to be a person who wouldn’t get angry, but now he is extremely furious with her.
He said, “Shelley, you are not me. You will never know how I feel. I am an orphan. I have no parents. I know what it feels like to be all alone. I know what it feels like to have nothing. I don’t want you to experience these things. I don’t want you to go through them because of me.”
“I wasn’t alone. I had you, didn’t I?” Shelley looked at him, her face filled with anticipation.
Everyone could persuade her to be with Nathan.
Only Paul couldn’t.
However, even Paul tried to persuade her.
What was she still insisting on?
“I couldn’t give you so much. I couldn’t bear to see you go to jail. I couldn’t let you lose a leg. I also couldn’t let you abandon your family and be with me.” Paul’s eyes also turned red. He said, “Call me a coward. My upbringing and experiences don’t allow me to be indifferent. I’m sorry.”
Paul felt very upset.
Of course, this is not because of their feelings.
But it was not because the expected benefits were
unexpectedly lost.
Paul never even imagined that Nathan would come this far at this point.
Paul should have anticipated it.

Back at the Cooper’s place, Paul overheard Nathan and his friends talking on the phone about wanting to win Shelley back, otherwise, he wouldn’t have proposed to Shelley so quickly.
No matter what.
Paul was just using Shelley. He already had someone he liked. He didn’t want to get involved so quickly.
If it weren’t for Nathan, he would have dragged on for another year or so.
Now Paul reminisced.
If he had known that Nathan would act in such a despicable way, he should have married Shelley before Nathan returned to his home country.
Paul was well aware that Shelley liked him.
As soon as he spoke, Shelley would immediately get married.
Until now.
But now it suddenly fell through.
The reason for his failure was not that he willingly gave up. How could he possibly willingly give up?
It was because last night, Atwood and Miranda came to see him.
They exchanged conditions with him.
Twenty percent of the original shares of Cooper Bank.
Chap 220 The Break Up
It is not a matter of how much the market value of the shares
is, but rather the identity of the shareholders of Cooper Bank.
From the beginning.
Paul was near Shelley because of Cooper Bank.
Such a great temptation.
He could not refuse.
So he agreed.
The reason for agreeing was not wanting to harm Shelley.
The reason for accepting the shares was to continue repaying the kindness of the Cooper family.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he was the one who had been nurtured by the Cooper family.
He played the role of a good person to the fullest.
He could only let go of Shelley.
He looked at Shelley, who was feeling uncomfortable at the
moment.
It seemed like a sharp pain pierced through the heart.
Probably.
He just couldn’t accept it.
Compared to stocks, he married Shelley, which made it more likely for him to obtain all of Cooper Bank.

am brave enough on my own. All you need to do is not push. me away. I will handle everything else,” Shelley seemed to have adjusted her emotions. She said firmly.
Shelley just wouldn’t accept it.
They broke up just like that.
They had been together for so many years.
For so many years since high school.
She was very clear that the person she liked was Paul. She really had no feelings for Nathan.
Shelley not only disliked Nathan’s identity.
She didn’t really have the feeling of her heart suddenly racing like she did with Paul, toward Nathan.
Shelley only had occasional fleeting feelings for Nathan.
No love was involved.
“Shelley…” Paul’s eyes narrowed.
Shelley suddenly embraced his neck and planted a deep kiss.
Shelley was really afraid that he would push her away.
So she wanted to prove that they still had feelings.
Shelley’s impulse made Paul a little flustered at that moment.
The next second.
He pushed Shelley abruptly.

Shelley took several steps back. Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Paul, “Is it…that resolute?”
Paul pursed his lips.
His heart really hurt a little.
“Paul, is our relationship so fragile?”
“Compared to your happiness, everything else is worthless to me. Even if it means I would rather die than hurt you, I will not do it,” Paul said firmly.
“How do you know that what I have now is happiness? Paul, don’t you think that being with you is happiness for me? Being with you is the only thing that doesn’t hurt me.”
“You will understand later.”
“I will never understand it for the rest of my life,” Shelley said fiercely. “Paul, I will make you realize just how unhappy I am when you pushed me away. I will make you understand the extent of the harm you caused me by pushing me away.”
Shelley finished speaking.
She turned around and left.
She left decisively.
Paul watched Shelley’s back as his fist clenched tightly.
His eyes turned cold.
Paul thought, “One day, I will repay all the humiliations I am currently experiencing twofold.”
