When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 A Life for a Life

“Like I said.”

Braden’s breathing was steady as he expressionlessly told them the truth of the matter

He thought, anyway, the baby is gone, and Shirley is nowhere to be found. It doesn’t matter whether it remains a secret or is known by everyone.

“What?”

Keith’s mouth was wide open. He found it hard to believe

Like him, Karen spent at least ten minutes before sorting the whole thing out, and then he sighed, “Braden, you made a mistake. And I’m sorry to hear that. I guess you were aggrieved.”

Braden looked at him coldly, “I wasn’t aggrieved. Charles is the reason I’m alive. Of course, I have to do everything I can to fulfill his last wish. But… I am so incompetent!”

He hit the table hard with his fist, and his eyes reddened slightly.

It could be seen that he did feel guilty about Charles.

“Of course, you didn’t feel aggrieved. Your wife should be.”

Keith couldn’t help but stick up for Shirley, saying, “If you wanted to make things right for Charles, go ahead. You didn’t need to hurt Shirley. You are now responsible for Amelie and her baby, but what about Shirley, who was married to you for four years? She didn’t do anything wrong, yet she

got kicked out by you. You…”

“Enough!”

Karen glared at Keith, reminding Keith to stop before he went too far “Didn’t you urge Braden to divorce Ms. Wilson every day before? Why are you talking like that now? Do you think things aren’t messy enough? Or Braden isn’t in pain enough?”

“I didn’t mean that. I just feel that things aren’t right for Shirley. Who did she hurt? She…!

“I get what Braden is thinking.”

Karen looked at Braden, whose handsome face was gloomy, and said with distress, “He wanted Amelie’s baby to have a legitimate identity and to grow up in a normal family. Plus, at that time, he didn’t love Ms. Wilson at all. And it seemed that Ms. Wilson didn’t have feelings for him either. A marriage without love was bound to shatter. It made sense that Ms. Wilson left. Amelie and her baby were at most just the immediate flashpoints.”

Keith nodded and touched his chin. “Yeah, sounds reasonable to me. Everyone is the victim here, and they all feel so aggrieved… But I disagree with the part that Shirley didn’t love Braden at that

time Anyone who isn’t blind can tell that she loved him so much.”

“Leave the past alone. We should think about how to deal with the current situation now.”

Karen asked Braden, who had been silent the whole time, “Braden, have you figured out what to do? Now that there is no baby, of course, you won’t marry Amelie. Will you marry Ms. Wilson again?”

“No.”

Braden answered without hesitation.

He would prefer staying single and dying alone before marrying the one who killed Charles‘ only blood. He had a conscience, and such “happiness” would make him spend the rest of his life living

in guilt.

“If so, why are you making so many efforts to find Ms. Wilson now? With all the histories you perhaps it’s best that you never see each other again.”

Karen instantly empathized with Shirley. He said objectively, “No wonder she disappeared so thoroughly. If I were her, I would do the same.”

share,

Keith raised his hand in agreement. “Braden, why don’t you stop looking for her? Nothing will ever happen between you two. If you insist on entangling with her, you’ll only make both you and her more painful.”

“Was I too much?”

It seemed that Braden didn’t hear them at all. He suddenly raised his cold eyes and asked them in a

low voice

“What?”
