When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500 We Are Adults

This dinner was dramatically chaotic, like the god of love had gotten drunk and started randomly matching people together.

Larry and Nancy kept hinting for Keith to show affection to Shirley, while Shirley kept giving opportunities for Keith to show affection to Nancy.

Keith claimed to be showing affection to Shirley, but in reality, his attention was all on Nancy. He peeled shrimp after shrimp, then started peeling crabs, piling up a mountain of food in Nancy’s bowl that she couldn’t possibly finish eating…

“Alright, alright, stop peeling. I’m full, really full.”

Nancy wore an awkward smile, stopping Keith from peeling more shrimp.

Then, she lowered her voice, “I’ve been a wingman for you long enough. Why don’t you chat with Shirley, serve her food? Have you forgotten everything I taught you? If you don’t act soon, she’ll leave the table.”

“Are you really disgusted with me? Is it because the shrimps I peel aren’t clean enough, or the crab legs I handle aren’t plump enough? I can do better!”

Keith looked at Nancy with pitiful, puppy-dog eyes.

That confused Nancy.

“Ahem, I’m full too. You guys enjoy your meal!”

Shirley wiped her mouth and got up to leave the table, calling out to the two children,

“Let’s go, Ben and Ally, I will take you to play!”

“I’m full as well.’

Larry also stood up.

Even if his observation skills were poor, he could see who Keith was aiming for. So he stopped trying to play matchmaker.

After all, he had taken Nancy for his sister. If Nancy won over Keith, it would be the same as if Shirley had won him over. The effect would be the same, and Keith could still be “used.”

So, only Keith and Nancy were left at the dining table.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, with a hint of gooey things. However, Nancy had already figured out Keith’s intentions and was very annoyed by the gooey feeling.

She put down her chopsticks, glared at the man unhappily. “Hey, Keith Guerra, are you tricking me?”

“How dare I, my lady?’

Keith’s handsome face showed innocence. ’Haven’t I been serving you properly all night? How could I be tricking you?’

“You said yourself that you wanted to pursue Shirley. I told you so many strategies, and you didn’t follow any of them. You just used me as a wingman all night. Now my stomach is full of shrimp and crab. If you’re not tricking me, then what are you doing?”

Nancy couldn’t help but let out a satisfied burp as she said this, and casually picked up some fruit to cleanse her palate.

Keith raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile. “Well, thank you for your help, Good Samaritan. But… have I ever said I wanted to pursue Shirley?”

“What are you talking about? You like her, and you’re not going to pursue her? Besides, just now it was you who said that you wanted to pursue Shirley and asked me for advice. How come you’re denying it now?’

“I just said I could try to pursue her, not that I was really going to. Besides…” Keith suddenly paused, looking at Nancy with a more meaningful gaze.

“When did I ever say I liked her?”

“Why are you being so shy? There’s no one else here.”

Nancy looked at the man, feeling a mix of sympathy and frustration. “I know that with a rival like Braden, you’re under a lot of pressure. After all, he’s handsome, capable, and your best friend. It’s only natural that you’d hesitate to make a move on your best friend’s woman. But now that Shirley is single again, you should at least have the courage to admit your feelings for her, right?’

Keith chuckled and gently patted Nancy’s head. “Don’t get too carried away. I just want to know, why are you so sure that I like her?”
