When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Specialties

As they spoke, Howard put down his pen, pulled open his desk drawer, solemnly took out a rosewood box, and handed it to Shirley

“Shirley, open it and take a look.”

Shirley took the box and carefully opened it. There was a medal inside, engraved with a dove of peace and a sword. She looked at Howard in confusion. “Howard, this is…”

“Good girl, this is what your grandfather gave me on his deathbed, a symbol of his heroic life. Now I pass it on to you.”

Jason was like a brother to Howard. Howard sighed with emotions as he recalled Jason’s legendary life. “Before your grandfather passed away, he was worried about you the most. He repeatedly told me to give you the medal four years after your marriage to Braden….

“Now that you have been married for four years, the medal will carry your grandfather’s blessing to you. It will bless you and Braden with a happy and long lasting marriage.”

As Shirley put the gold medal in her palm, she felt as if the line between life and death had blurred, and she could touch Jason’s slightly rough but gentle palm. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Jason took great care of me when he was alive. And now that he’s gone, his spirit still guards me. I’m such a useless granddaughter I’m nothing but a burden for him…”

Shirley still remembered that before Jason passed away, he had held her hand and repeatedly told her not to take revenge and not to go back to that dangerous and complicated interpersonal circle. He did not need her to be very capable, nor did he need her to revive the Wilson family. He just wanted her to be an ordinary woman for the rest of her life and be Braden’s wife properly. Otherwise, he would not be at ease after he died.

But now…

She sighed and thought, I blame myself. Why am I so useless? I can’t even satisfy such a small wish of grandpa.

In the world, one’s mind is the most difficult to control.

I can take revenge and revive my family, yet I can do nothing about a man who doesn’t love me.

So far, I have tried my best. Since there is no hope, I can only choose to give up. I only ask for a clear

conscience!

“Silly girl, what are you talking about? In our eyes, you are a very outstanding kid. How can you be

useless?”

Howard looked at Shirley lovingly, his eyes full of admiration. “Put others aside The fact that you

have tamed Braden, who has been difficult since childhood, is enough to prove that you have at talent that no other girl can match.”

Shirley coughed a few times.

She avoided Howard’s gaze, feeling guilty

She thought, if Howard knows that Braden and I have already divorced, Howard will be so pissed

off

She quickly changed the topic and said, “Howard, you know what? After my vacation with Braden this time, I brought you some specialties. I hope you will like them.”

“Really? Thank you. What a wonderful girl you are. Let me see”

Shirley took out the specialties she had bought beforehand. “These are coffee beans. This is fruit tea, this is coconut powder, and they are all specialties from Semporna. And this one here…”

She opened a jewelry box, and inside it was a round and transparent pearl that seemed to be shining. “This is a black pearl dug up from the deepest part of Kapalai Island. They say that it has been existing for hundreds of years and has absorbed the essence of the natural environment. You should place it in your room. It’ll protect the house and soothe your nerves.”

She lied about the vacation, yet the pearl was real, which cost her a lot. She regarded it as a gift for

Howard before she left.

“It looks nice. I like it a lot.”

Howard fiddled with the black pearl that was the size of a pigeon egg and was very satisfied.

He thought, Shirley still thinks of me when she is on vacation. Also, she has great taste I dig this pearl so much.

“Grandpa.”

Suddenly, Braden’s cold and low voice came from outside the door

Shirley turned around and happened to meet Braden’s eyes.

After Shirley and Braden left Seatle Courthouse, they walked in opposite directions, as if both of them were determined to not see each other again for the rest of their lives.

Unexpectedly, they saw each other again after just a few hours.

However, now that they were divorced, it seemed that they looked at each other a little differently.

Howard’s eyes darted back and forth between Shirley and Braden, full of mixed emotions.

“Shouldn’t you two be attached now that you are back from your vacation? Why are you here to see

me one after the other? Are you having a fallout ”

“We
