When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127 Divorce My Ass

After all, Shirley was on Braden’s payroll temporarily. Therefore, she started to do her job and pick up shells.

Braden, on the other hand, put his hands in his pockets and followed Shirley, keeping a proper distance from her. He looked like a father silently protecting his child, who was enjoying herself.

The sea breeze was blowing gently. On the broad golden beach, shallow and deep footprints of the two were left, and their shadows overlapped. The scene was beautiful and romantic, and time. passed quietly.

“Gosh! I found one!”

Shirley shouted excitedly after digging behind a reef for a while.

Braden raised his eyebrows slightly and thought, such things do exist for real?

He was a very materialistic, rational man who didn’t believe in any sort of legend.

Yet Shirley looked so excited. For the first time in his life, he didn’t burst her bubble. Instead, he walked forward cooperatively, pretending to be interested. “What does it look like? Let me see.”

“Look! This is ‘Ocean Heart‘. Doesn’t it look like a heart? And it’s pink no less!”

Shirley washed the heart–shaped shell in the water, held it carefully between her fingers, and presented it to Braden with a big smile.

Under the sunlight, the pink heart shell emitted a dreamy light. There seemed to be pink bubbles in

the air.

Braden coughed a few times.

He wanted to tell her that when he had been on vacation in Tahiti, shells of this kind were everywhere on the beach, and they weren’t rare at all.

Yet, at last, he didn’t say those things out loud. He held it in and said indifferently, “Yeah. I guess

it’s alright.”

He didn’t get it. He thought, I’ve always been dictatorial. Why am I suddenly empathetic?

Perhaps it’s because it is rare to see her so timid and cute instead of so harsh and aggressive. I don’t

want to ruin it…

Unfortunately, in the next second, Shirley became the mood killer and took out her phone to

calculate the time.

“It took me a total of 97 minutes to pick up the shells. We agreed that you ought to pay me 1,600 dollars per minute. So, you should transfer 155,200 dollars to me. After the discount, the money

you owe me is 124,160 dollars. Tell you what? Let’s skip the small changes. You just need to transfer 124 thousand dollars to me.”

After calculating, Shirley lifted her chin and looked at Braden with a proud expression. “How about that? The money is worth it, right? I’m sure that no woman can say no to you once you kneel at the wedding with ‘Ocean Heart‘ in your hand.”

Braden was speechless.

He thought, shit! I was too careless.

She is a woman full of wits, and she tricks people easily. She is the opposite of cute!

Braden’s handsome face was utterly cold. He was about to turn around and leave when Shirley suddenly grabbed his hand.

“Wait a second. Take ‘Ocean Heart‘ with you.”

As Shirley spoke, she pulled his fingers open and put the pink shell in his palm hard. She said seriously, “It’s the most useful tool to get the love of your life back, and you paid a lot to get it. I promise it will bring you good luck.”

Braden still didn’t say anything.

He highly suspected that she was being sarcastic. He felt the urge to hit someone!

The wedding venue was bustling.

The guests were basically all present. They were all dressed in fine clothes and chatting around the

church.

Karen and the others had already picked Cherry up, and now they were waiting for the time to be up

for the ceremony.

Braden and Shirley returned to the wedding venue.
