Chapter 368 The Aroma Of The Soul
The next day…
When Shirley woke up, it was already late in the morning.
She lay on the soft bed. The fragrance coming from the bedding was very soothing and special. It was
the unique smell of Braden.
It was said that when a person loved another person to the extreme, he would smell the unique
fragrance of that person. This fragrance wasn’t from perfume or something else but from the fragrance of
that person’s soul.
Perhaps deep in her mind, Braden was still extremely important to her, so she could still smell his unique
scent.
“Damn it!”
When she opened her eyes, she found herself still lying on Braden’s bed. She suddenly woke up and
bounced up like a spring.
She was the only one in the large room. Braden should have left already.
“Shit, how come I fell asleep?”
Shirley pounded her head, annoyed that she was so weak-willed. She hadn’t even finished the building
blocks when she fell asleep on Braden’s bed.
It was easy to imagine how Braden would mock and humiliate her.
Not only did she fail to get Seven-colored Glazed Cup, but she even gave Braden a chance to mock her.
She had really suffered a great loss.
She shook her head, quickly put on her clothes, and got out of bed.
Then, she saw that the Spaceship X3 was placed in the glass cabinet window, intact. She was so
shocked that her eyes almost fell out.
“Good heavens, it’s actually finished. Did that guy know magic? He’s so amazing!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe still remembered that she had only finished less than one-third yesterday, and two-thirds were left
unfinished. He couldn’t finish piling up the pieces alone
Moreover, didn’t Braden take a bath and sleep early? Could it be that he got up at midnight to continue
piecing it together?
But, there was no reason for him to do that.
He stayed up to finish piling up the spaceship, which not only weakened his spirit but also helped her.
What benefits could he get?
No matter what, the building blocks had been piled up. Braden had to keep his promise and gave her

word.
Thinking of this, Shirley unconsciously became thick-faced.
She took out her phone and prepared to tell the man to keep his promise and give her Seven-colored
Glazed Cup.
Before the phone was dialed, the door of Braden’s bedroom was pushed open from the outside.
“Shirley, are you awake?”
The person who came in was Howard.
“Eh, Mr. Stewart!”
Shirley buried her head like a thief, so embarrassed that she didn’t know how to place her hands and
feet
She didn’t want Howard to misunderstand the relationship between her and Braden, but she had woken
up on Braden’s bed. It would be impossible for him not to misunderstand them.
Howard looked at Shirley lovingly. He looked at her up and down and smiled meaningfully, “Girl, did that
brat bully you last night?”
“No!”
Shirley tried to explain, “Mr. Stewart, actually last night…
“You don’t have to say anything, and you don’t have to be shy. You are young people. It’s quite normal! I
am old, but I am not old-fashioned. I can understand.”
Howard cleared his throat and smiled from ear to ear. “That brat finally became sensible. This morning,
when he went downstairs, he specifically told me that you were very tired last night and needed a good
rest. He told me not to disturb you. You can sleep as long as you want.”
Shirley blushed and said urgently, “Mr. Stewart, you misunderstood us. Nothing happened between
Braden and me last night. We…”
“Nothing happened? But you were lying on the same bed for an entire night.”
“Well… He… he didn’t lie on the bed. He was probably piling up the building blocks. So, he and I…”
The more Shirley explained, the more ambiguous the relationship between her and Braden became.
“Good girl, I understand. Don’t be shy and stop pretending. It’s time to stop.”
Howard sighed and patted Shirley on the shoulder and said meaningfully.
“Mr. Stewart, what do you mean?”
Shirley did not quite understand what he wanted to say.
“You are so smart, how can you not understand?”
He shook his head and revealed a distressed expression on his wrinkled face. “Girl, Braden hurt you, but
you

have hurt him a lot too. He has been tortured by you for many years. You have vented all your anger.
Don’t make things difficult for him again and lead a peaceful life with him, okay?
“Last night, he revealed his feelings to me for the first time. He said that he was in great pain and that he
had tried his best to urge you to stay, but it was useless. As his grandpa, I felt pain in my heart when I

saw him. like that. I know that you still have feelings for him, so… listen to me. Don’t push him away. You
will start to regret it again.”
After hearing Howard’s words, Shirley was stunned for a moment and then felt that it was very funny.
“Mr. Stewart, I have always respected you. I thought you were just and fair. Now it seems that deep down
in your heart, you still favor your grandson. I can tell you very clearly that Braden’s so-called pain is all
fake. It is because he wants to pin the blame on me so that I am in the wrong…
“In my opinion, he is not only ruthless but also shameless. He is not a man at all. How can I still have
feelings for such a person!”
When Howard heard Shirley say that, he could understand Braden’s pain and helplessness even more.
If a woman loved a man who didn’t cherish her love, the man would be desperate when he had feelings
for her who had already given up on him.
“Girl, I don’t care what you say, but I hope that you don’t lie to yourself. I don’t hope that you say you
don’t care about him but still love him in your heart. When you lose him, you will be the sad person the
most.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Stewart. I never spoke contrary to what I thought. My feelings for Braden have long
been exhausted at the moment of the divorce four years ago. Neither am I not making a fuss now nor am
I trying to play hard to get. I really want to draw a clear line with him and no longer disturb him.”
Shirley said calmly.
“Alright, I won’t try to persuade you anymore. I just pity my grandson. His sincerity will be a waste!”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Stewart. Your grandson was pretending to be pitiful in front of you. He is heartless and
ill-intentioned. He just felt that you are annoying and wanted you to bother me!”
Shirley thought that she and Braden had been married for so many years. Even if he rolled his eyes, she
knew what he wanted to do.
“That thing, he told me to give it to you as soon as you woke up. Was he ill-intentioned?”
After Howard finished speaking, he asked someone to bring over Seven-colored Glazed Cup that Shirley
had been looking forward to for a long time.
Shirley looked at its dazzling light in disbelief, unable to retract her gaze for a long time.
Braden actually gave it to her just like that. Why?
