Chapter 118 Damage to Each Other
Braden looked at Alice coldly and didn’t answer.
Alice also felt that she had crossed the line and apologized hurriedly, “I’m sorry I didn’t know what to do. I
shouldn’t have asked you this question. But I think that you might need me in the future, so… so can I
add your contact number?”
This was probably the most courageous thing that the pure and conservative girl, Alice, had done in all
these years.
Braden looked at the girl’s cautious appearance, as if he had seen Shirley, and he relented.
“Give me the phone.”
“Okay, okay!”
Alice quickly handed her phone over.
In front of the taxi, the two stood very close, looking very intimate.
At the same time, Shirley, Ewan, and the others came out and happened to see this scene.
Shirley felt bad. She wanted to leave as if she had seen nothing. However, Braden raised his head and
met her eyes.
The man’s eyes were as cold as ice as usual, and there was even a bit of arrogance inm. There was no
embarrassment, which made Shirley inexplicably angry.
Angry and childish, she grabbed Ewan’s arm and said, “Ewan, where are we going ext I think the sea
view hotel we went to last time is good. Are we going again?”
Ewan was shocked.
Ewan did not dare to move.
Did Shirley really want to do this? When she said this, he really couldn’t explain it to others clearly. There
was no way that they were just friends in others‘ eyes.
Braden’s handsome face obviously darkened.
He directly opened the door of the taxi. He said a hotel’s name to the driver.

What would happen to these two people next was obvious.
Shirley stood in place and did not speak for a long time. Her gaze followed the taxi until it disappeared
into the traffic.
Ewan knew that Shirley was sad and carefully said, “Shirley, I really know a good seaside hotel. Do you
want me to take you to relax?”
“No need.”
With a sad expression, Shirley removed her hand from Ewan’s arm. She smiled bitterly and said, “I gave
him the right to hurt me for the last time. When Ms. Honeycutt wins the lawsuit, I will leave. He can no
longer hurt me ”
It was late at night. Ewan and his sister wanted to send Shirley home, but Shirley was very stubborn.
She said goodbye to them on the spot.
She didn’t want to go home right now. She didn’t want to talk or deal with anyone. She just wanted to find
a quiet corner to stay alone.
She wanted to remove her strong disguise and show her true emotions freely…
Yes, she had to admit that she was very sad right now.
At the thought that Braden was holding the girl in his arms now on the big white bed in the hotel, she felt
that it was difficult to breathe, and her heart felt like being cut by a knife
She also wanted to know why she and this man had been husband and wife for four years, and he had
never loved her. Now, he fell for a girl who looked like her after they only melonce
She couldn’t stand it!
Shirley walked aimlessly, and then somehow came to the shopping mall where Bracan ad come to visit
with Emma that day.
It just so happened that “Spiritual Journey“, which she had always wanted to watch, was still on.
Without any hesitation, Shirley bought the ticket for the nearest one and silently walked into the
dark movie theater.
Because it was midnight, there were very few people.
Shirley suddenly felt a sense of security that she had not felt for a long time.
What was more suitable than a movie theater where she could cry regardless of others‘ gazes?
“Spiritual Journey” was a story about a failed pianist, Joe, who died unexpectedly when his dream
was about to come true. When he met soul No. 22, who was tired of the world, they looked for the
meaning of life and redemption hand in hand.
The movie screen emitted a soft light. The film was very beautiful, and the story was very touching.
As Shirley watched, tears silently flowed down the corners of her eyes.
It was not because the story was so touching, or because Braden had hurt her
It was just that now she suddenly wanted to cry
The book said that pregnant women would become very emotional because of hormonal secretion.
Shirley felt that she should be experiencing this now
So, she didn’t want to hold it in and started crying recklessly
With her hands gently resting on her belly, she silently said, “Little guys, hold on for a while longer Mom
will take you away soon!”
After crying, Shirley felt much more comfortable, as if she was suddenly enlightened.
The movie had just ended, and the originally dark hall suddenly became bright. A few spectators stood
up from their seats.
When Shirley saw Braden’s tall and straight body stand up from two seats in front of her, she thought she
had seen a ghost and was petrified!
Wasn’t he in the hotel with his university girl? How did he end up coming here?
Afraid that the man would find her, Shirley quickly slowed down and turned sideways.
Unexpectedly, it was still too late.
At the corner, Braden turned his head and his cold gaze met Shirley’s eyes.
For a moment, the air seemed to be frozen, and the two of them looked a little embarrassed as if they
had been caught cheating.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You…”
Braden tried to put on a cold and aloof look, cleared his throat, and asked Shirley, “Didn’t you go to the
sea with your young man? Why are you here?”
“Oh, that…”
Shirley thought quickly, and she said stiffly, “Who wants to go to the sea in the middle of the night? It’s
postponed.”
Then, she asked Braden, “What about you? Didn’t you go to sleep with your female college student?
Why are you here?”
“It’s too late. It’s postponed.”
Braden said coldly as he rubbed his nose with his long fingers.
Shirley wanted to refute him. This kind of thing is better when it’s late, isn’t it? What kind of lame
reason is this?
But she still held that back
After all, her reason didn’t seem to be much better.
Thus, both of them knew that the other was lying through their teeth, but they tacitly did not expose each
other.
The people in the hall left one after another. Braden and Shirley maintained a distance that was neither
too far nor too close, walking at the end.
Although neither of them spoke, there seemed to be something that was dissolved, and the atmosphere
was no longer as tense as before.
After leaving the theater, the two of them were about to part.
Braden raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He said coldly, “It’s still early. Do you want to have a
midnight snack?”
Shirley was shocked.
Didn’t he just say it was too late? He had already given up on having fun with the female university
student. It’s still early now?
Shirley felt that this guy must have some conspiracy!
