When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424 Seize the Happiness

Shirley thought, what if Braden knew that Mr. Quintin and I were putting on an act?

Yet to make the kids believe that Mr. Quintin and I were truly in love, we acted very diligently.

Therefore, no third person other than myself and Mr. Quintin should know what was going on between us.

Unless Mr. Quintin told Braden himself.

If that’s the case, what’s the relationship between Mr. Quintin and Braden? What secret do they have in their closet?

‘What are you thinking about?”

“No… Nothing.”

“For real?”

“Yeah!”

Shirley pursed her lips and said guiltily, ‘I’m telling the truth. Why would I lie to you?”

“Alright then.”

Braden looked at Shirley with a half-smile, as if he were looking at an innocent baby who didn’t know how to lie at all.

He thought, / know exactly what you’re thinking.

But of course, I won’t let you know that I am Mr. Quintin, or with your temper, you might beat the crap out of me on the spot.

“Braden, what do you think of my proposal? If it’s OK with you, let’s go back to the mansion. I’m sure Howard will be very pleased.”

Shirley’s voice went deeper. She discussed with Braden seriously, and there was sadness in her eyes.

She thought, Howard was so kind to me, but I vanished into thin air for years and never thought about how he felt. What’s more, I actively deprived him of the right to visit his great-grandchildren. I’m so cruel.

I want to make amends while Howard is still strong and conscious.

“Fine by me.”

Braden paused for a moment and then said, “But I hope that one day, we can stop acting and make things real. I hope to be with you. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance of happiness, I hope we can be brave once and give it a go again.”

This time, Shirley did not refuse him right away. She was silent for a long time, and she then said in a voice that was neither loud nor low, “Alright. Let’s give it a shot.”

For some reason, Shirley suddenly thought it through.

She thought, who can say life is short or not? In the face of life and death, all kinds of grudges can be let go.If we can be happy together, why not give it a try?

At least we won’t have any regrets.

The two set off for the Stewart’s old mansion.

Since Braden sprained his waist, he could lie down and sit down, but he couldn’t stand or exert strength. Therefore, Shirley was responsible for driving.

“Lean on the pillow and don’t move. Let me know if you think we are going too fast.”

With her hands on the steering wheel, Shirley forced herself to resist the urge to put her foot down. She had never driven so slowly or so steadily.

Braden sat in the back seat of the car. His lumbar spine was fixed by the pillow Drake provided, and his expression was calm and curious. He asked, “I heard from Keith that you are a wild driver. If I remember correctly, you won an underground racing championship before. It must be very tough for you to drive at this speed, right?”

She didn’t want to lie. She sighed, “I don’t want to pretend anymore. It’s tough indeed, but what can I do? I can only put up with it for your waist.” She made up her mind. When Braden was away, she would find an opportunity to go straight to 81 Turns to have some fun.

“81 Turns” was the roughest, most twisty mountain road in all of Seatie City, and also a natural racing track. It was with all kinds of turns, which added up to 81 in total, hence the name.
