When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133 The Unspoken

Unlike what Braden had expected, the one giving him mouth–to–mouth resuscitation wasn’t Shirley at all. Instead, it was a swarthy, beefy lifeguard.

“Fuck!”

Braden sprang up from the ground at once and pushed the lifeguard ten feet away.

Seeing that, Shirley was overjoyed. “Great! Braden, you made it! I’m so glad!

“Shirley, you are doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”

Braden’s face was so gloomy. He kept wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

He thought, how embarrassing! My reputation is ruined now. Shirley, this is not over!

Shirley did not know what Braden was thinking. She thought Braden meant it, and he was so weak that he needed artificial respiration. Therefore, she found the most professional person for him.

Seeing how energetic he was right now, she realized that he was no longer in danger. She was genuinely happy, and she subconsciously rushed forward and held him, sobbing, “I’m so glad. Braden, you are not dead. Karen is right! You are a lucky man.”

At the last second, Braden was still burning with rage. Yet now, he instantly calmed down.

After all, the woman in his arms sounded so delicate and cute, not to mention that she cared about him so much. How was he supposed to stay mad?

Braden was still not used to Shirley caring about him this much. He cleared his throat, stroked her hair with his large palm, and said with interest, “You are so afraid that I might die. Then why did you say that if I died, you wouldn’t shed a tear for me? Woman, you’re so two–faced.”

His words made Shirley come back to her senses. She quickly let go of him and distanced herself from him. Then she said coldly, “You didn’t take your life seriously. If you die, of course, I won’t shed a single tear for you.”

“But there are still tears on your cheeks…”

“They came out because of the strong sea wind.”

“Your dress is wet with water. Did you go into the water to save me?”

“That was… because I liked to tread on the waves. What does it have to do with you?”

Shirley stubbornly refused to admit how worried she had been about Braden.

Braden nodded in understanding. Then he said meaningfully, sounding like he was comforting her, “Alright then. I got it now. You don’t care about me. Next time this happens, don’t worry. I will be

back safely.”

“There will be a next time?”

As if she had heard something only jackasses would say, she slapped him hard and clenched her fists. Then she warned him sternly, “If you dare to be so reckless next time, you might as well just die! It’ll save me the trouble of worrying about you!”

“Worry about me?”

Braden smiled and asked, “I thought you didn’t care about me at all.”

Shirley didn’t say anything.

She didn’t know what to say.

No matter how stubborn she was and how much she denied it, the fact remained. She failed to let go of Braden. She still cared about his every move and didn’t want anything to happen to him at all.

Shirley found an excuse for herself. She cared about him since he was the father of her two babies. She was worrying about him for their sake.

Their feelings drifted between them together with the sea breeze.

Both of them chose to leave the unspoken intact.

Suddenly, there was news from Cherry.

“She is awake! She is awake! Ms. Tierney is finally awake!”

Braden and Shirley looked at each other and walked over to see what was going on.

Cherry choked on too much water and was unconscious. After being rescued, she finally spat out the water and recovered.

Though she was lying in Karen’s arms, she looked around, as if she was looking for someone.

Sandra was crying. She held Cherry’s hand and asked, “Cherry, how are you feeling? What are you looking for? Look at me…‘

“Braden… Where is he?”
