Chapter 372 Always Better To Make Early Preparations
In the evening, Shirley returned to the apartment with the Seven-colored Glazed Cup.
The atmosphere of the room was lively. Mr. Quintin was playing games with the two kids. There was
some exquisite and delicious food in the kitchen that had been left for her.
“Why are you here?”
Shirley closed the door and asked Mr. Quintin randomly.
She was no longer so emotionally against Mr. Quintin. She was even used to having him at home. This
made her feel at ease.
“Didn’t I say that before? I am now your husband and the father of the two children. I will take care of
your accommodation. It is my responsibility to cook for you and keep them company.”
Mr. Quintin explained to Shirley as he played the game with the two children.
He was not joking but talking sincerely.
“Yes, Mommy. We are a family. Families will live together. Let me tell you a secret… It was Quintin who
picked us up from school today. Our classmates are all envious of us for having such a tall and powerful
daddy!”
Alisha hugged Mr. Quintin’s thigh. Her chubby face revealed a proud smile.
Needless to say, Mr. Quintin adored Alisha so much that she liked him a lot. Maybe after a while, his
status in
Alisha’s heart would be higher than that of Shirley.
Shirley smiled awkwardly and did not say anything.
Only she knew that she and Mr. Quintin were just acting like a couple. But Mr. Quintin’s acting skills were
much better than hers. He looked like a good husband and daddy. There was no flaw at all.

sooner or later
“It’s getting late. Go to bed quickly. Then you will have the energy for the courses at the kindergarten.”
Shirley said to her two kids who were playing excitedly.
She still had some words to talk to Mr. Quintin alone.
Bennett nodded. “Ally, it is indeed time for us to sleep. Only then can we give Quintin and Mommy a
chance to be alone together.”
Bennett’s words made Shirley feel awkward. She unnaturally stroked her hair.
Sometimes, it was not a good thing that children are too smart and talkative. It would be quite a
headache.
May took the two children to the bedroom, leaving only Shirley and Mr. Quintin in the living room.
Mr. Quintin sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed. He felt relaxed as if he was really staying at his
home. Chapter 372 Always Better To Make Early Preparations

What do you want to ask me?”
He seemed to have seen through Shirley at a glance. He looked at Shirley with a faint smile.
“You are so smart. I do have something to ask you.”
Shirley went straight to the point and put the box with the Seven-colored Glazed Cup on the coffee table.
She said, “I got the Seven-colored Glazed Cup. I want to know how special it is beneath the surface,
especially for
the Stewart family or Braden. Why did you guys fight like that for the cup?”
“He actually gave you such a precious thing…”
Mr. Quintin revealed a complicated smile and gave her a thumbs-up. “It can be seen that you matter to
him a lot. The cup he uses to keep alive is given to you. Even if I am his opponent, I still admire him.”
“Keep alive?”
“Don’t you know? The material of the Seven-colored Glazed Cup is special. The medicine that is put
inside the cup can cure all diseases. I’m not boasting… When Braden and his brother Charles were
assassinated abroad, Braden was left with a weird illness. He had to use a special kind of medicine to
control the syndrome. To snatch the cup back then, the Stewart family put in almost all their manpower
and material resources. That’s why they surpass the Crimson Pawnshop and defeated me.”
Mr. Quintin’s tone was calm as if he was an outsider.
He was the loser of the competition, but he did not have any resentment. It seemed that he had accepted
the loss.
“You must be telling a joke. How is that possible?”
Shirley felt that Mr. Quintin must be talking nonsense and deliberately teasing her.
“I would believe it if you said it has some historical value. I don’t believe it can cure diseases and save
people. It’s not a fantasy drama. In your description, the Seven-colored Glazed Cup is almost a saint.”
“You may choose not to believe it, but this is indeed the truth. Braden gave the cup to you and
meanwhile handed his life to you. I think he must have conditions.”
Mr. Quintin analyzed sharply.
“Not really… He might feel that he owed me too much and wanted to make up for me in his way.”
“As far as I know, Braden is not someone who reflects on himself. He is so arrogant. How can he feel like
he owes someone?”
“Then… Then why did he give me such an important thing?”
“Because he has feelings for you. He can’t let you go and wants to start over with you again.”
Mr. Quintin hit the nail on the head.
Shirley couldn’t help but blush.
She thought of Braden’s fierce confession during the day. Maybe it was real to some extent.

with me?”
Mr. Quintin smiled faintly and asked Shirley sharply.
Shirley clenched her fingers and said firmly. “It is impossible for me and him to start over again. No
matter whether he still has feelings for me or not, it doesn’t affect me at all.”
“Is that so?”
Mr. Quintin’s smile deepened. He asked again, “So you’re saying that you’re willing to pretend to be with
me?”
“I haven’t thought that far.”
Shirley did not directly turn Mr. Quintin down.
In fact, during this period, Shirley gradually got used to Mr. Quintin’s existence. If her children had to
have a father, Mr. Quintin seemed like a good choice.
“Have you ever thought about what the Stewart family would do if the existence of your two children were
exposed one day?”
Mr. Quintin suddenly asked.
Shirley frowned and immediately showed a guarded expression. “What do you mean? I don’t
understand…”
“You don’t have to hide it from me. I guessed from the two kids’ appearance that they are the children of
your ex-husband. It is only a matter of time before their existence is exposed. It’s always better to make
early preparations than meaninglessly waiting.”
Mr. Quintin said meaningfully.
Shirley didn’t want to deny it.
At least compared to Braden, Mr. Quintin was less dangerous. Plus, he wouldn’t steal her child. The
family of four would live a warm and happy life together.
She looked up at Mr. Quintin and asked, “What do you mean by early preparations?”
