When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499 What a Messy Relationship

Shirley turned her head and saw Nancy’s figure, feeling somewhat guilty.

“Nancy, when did you get here? Why didn’t you say anything?”

“I’ve been here for a while. Seeing you two in a steamy private chat, I was too embarrassed to interrupt.’

Nancy slowly approached them. Her tone was indifferent, filled with detachment and coldness.

This was bad!

Shirley frowned, guessing that Nancy had heard their conversation earlier, both the parts could and couldn’t be heard.

Nancy, with her strong pride, must be very hurt!

“Nancy, don’t listen to Keith’s bosh. He’s just talking nonsense. He’s not really like that. He’s… he’s…”

Shirley hurriedly tried to defend Keith, but soon realized that his words were difficult to excuse.

“Shirley, you don’t need to explain for me. I am that kind of person. It’s better for Nancy to see the truth sooner and give up her unrealistic fantasies. It’s for her own good.”

Keith put his hands in his pockets, with a smile on his face. His eyes exuded a sense of freedom, unrestrained and captivating.

Nancy looked at him coldly, devoid of any emotion, and said disdainfully, “Keith, I admit you have a way with flirting, so much so that during our time on Sunflower Island, I’ve had my moments of confusion. But those moments are far from being ‘flipped’. I could never like someone like you.”

Keith shrugged nonchalantly. “Understandable. After all, I’m not an elite, nor am I a top student. I’m just a carefree, aimless wanderer. How could I dare to hope for your affection?”

“I don’t like you because I look down on you. You’re a coward at heart, afraid to face your own feelings. You’re the weakest man I’ve ever seen, even weaker than my ex!” Nancy exclaimed.

“Coward?”

Keith touched his chin as if he had been hit where it hurt, and laughed, “How am I a coward? Just because I don’t like fighting and killing, is that wrong?”

“Don’t you think you’re cowardly when you don’t even have the courage to face your true feelings?”

Nancy retorted, ’I always wondered why every time I saw you, even though you seemed to be laughing and joking, there was always a sense of sadness about you, a sadness that comes from unrequited love. Now I understand…”

“What did you understand?”

Keith was genuinely puzzled this time.

What was his true heart? Did this girl really understand him?

“So, it turns out that you like Shirley, who used to be your best friend’s woman.” Nancy had completely seen through Keith this time. She said with a touch of sympathy, ’Unfortunately, you only dare to secretly like her, but not pursue her. So you can only use laughter to cover up your true heart. Then, you continue to cling to Shirley as a good friend, even deliberately flirting with me, using me as a cover, for fear of exposing your true heart!”

“Uh… so you think that’s what I’m doing?” Keith’s handsome face suddenly stiffened. This girl really wasn’t playing by the rules, was she?

He had thought that she was a master of understanding others, able to see through his heart!

Nancy continued to criticize him with an air of disappointment, “You’re such a coward.

At this age, you’re still secretly in love. Anyway, Shirley is single now. If you’re a man, take action and boldly pursue her!”

“Um, you’re right. Since Shirley is single now, maybe I can really pursue her. It’s just that I’m the kind of person who’s good at talking, but when it comes to actually chasing a woman, I’m a bit at a loss!”

Keith slightly frowned, putting on an eager-to-learn face, sincerely asking Nancy for advice, “You’re Shirley’s best friend, you should know her thoughts best. Why don’t you give me some advice?”

“Humph, at least you’re not hopeless. Asking me is the right choice.’ Nancy, who was initially quite annoyed, immediately became excited when she heard

Keith wanted to pursue her goddess, and began to be enthusiastically eloquent,

“Actually, it’s not difficult to chase Shirley. First of all, you have to be handsome…”
