When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216 We Are Both Unfortunate

“Of course!”

Nancy agreed without hesitation.

Like her brother, Ewan, she trusted Shirley completely and was never wary of her.

“Shirley, help me check him out. I believe in your judgment.

Before Nancy left, she winked at Shirley. Then she patted Cordell on the shoulder and warned, “Be careful. If my friend doesn’t agree, I won’t marry you!”

“Don’t worry. I will let Ms. Wilson know I’m serious about you.”

Cordell smiled and looked at Shirley with confidence, “What do you think, Ms. Wilson?”

“Perhaps.”

Shirley curled up the corner of her lips slightly. She didn’t show much emotion.

After Ewan and Nancy left the ward, Shirley’s smile immediately disappeared. She said to Cordell, “Please

close the door.”

Cordell closed the door as she asked. Then he walked to Shirley slowly. He kept a smile on his gentle face. “Ms. Wilson, I guess you have investigated me carefully and found out about my past?”

Shirley was surprised and snorted, “You are smarter than I thought.”

“Ms. Wilson, don’t flatter me. It’s just that Nancy often talked about you. I know that you are a person who values friendship and is cautious and meticulous. Your good friend suddenly wants to get married. It’s

reasonable for you to investigate me.”

“Good. You are not only smart but also sensible. I can’t see any flaws.”

Shirley did not expect that Cordell would be so modest. He didn’t get angry after knowing that Shirley investigated him. Cordell was so reasonable that she felt a little ashamed of herself.

“Then tell me the truth. What is your purpose for getting close to Nancy?”

Shirley was too lazy to beat around the bush and asked directly.

Cordell smiled calmly, “That’s a strange question, Ms. Wilson. I love Nancy. I approached her because I wanted to be with her. I want to marry her and be with her forever.”

“You’re lying!”

Shirley was very disdainful of his answer. “You can fool a naive and innocent girl like Nancy. But you can’t fool me. I know how sick your previous relationship was. Moreover, you are so smart. You must know the

woman you entangled with before is special to us. Right?”

Cordell asked, “Are you referring to Amelie?”

Cordell’s gaze changed a little, and his smile faded. “Ms. Wilson, you have got a great network. You even dug out my terrible history of romance…

“Yes. Amelie was indeed my first love. I used to love her so much that I went crazy and did many irrational things. But it has all passed. I also managed to erase it. I don’t know how you dug it out. No matter what, I hope you won’t use it against me. I have changed. I want to start a new life. Please do me this favor!”

Shirley sneered, “Don’t pretend to be innocent. I don’t believe that you can easily fall in love with someone after that crazy relationship. You must have approached Nancy with bad intentions!”

Shirley had seen through men. They would only pursue profits.

Cordell and Nancy’s relationship had progressed too fast. Moreover, Cordell had been with Amelie before, so Shirley had to be alert.

Cordell was not angry. He asked, “Ms. Wilson, you were once crazily in love with a man who didn’t love you at all. Right? In the end, you ended up heartbroken. Would you stop seeking love just because of that

relationship?”

Shirley looked sad. She retorted, “I’m different from you. The person you love is Amelie. You should know what kind of person she is. You…”

Cordell retorted wisely, “Braden isn’t better than Amelie. We are both unfortunate. You can’t judge me. You can fall in love with someone else. Why can’t I?”

Then Cordell asked Shirley meaningfully, “Could it be that you can’t forget Braden and can’t fall in love with

other men?”

“Nonsense!”

Shirley gritted her teeth and denied it.

“Now you can see… You and I are the same. You can fall in love with someone else. Why can’t I? You are biased against me because I’m dating your best friend!”

“Well… Maybe!”

Unknowingly, Shirley was convinced by Cordell.
