Chapter 426 It's a Good Day "Quiet..."
Braden cleared his throat and said, his voice neither loud nor low, "I have some good news to
announce to you all."
Everyone looked at him in unison, and they looked a little impatient.
Howard was the unhappiest one. Every time he saw Braden, he always looked disappointed. "Humph!
What good news can you possibly have? I'm afraid it will ruin the mood."
Tracy also waved her hand with disdain. "Braden, Howard doesn't like you, and also, Ally and Ben don't
like you. Most importantly, Shirley doesn't like you, either... If you ask me, I suggest you go to your
room and stop affecting us."
Kenny frowned and urged, "What's the matter? Tell us quickly. I've still got to peel walnuts for Ally and
Ben."
At the same time, he peeled off the walnuts and fed them to Bennett and Alisha respectively. In his
deep voice, he said, "Ally, Ben, eat more walnuts, and you'll become smarter. Don't be like your daddy
who does things without thinking."
Braden was speechless.
He thought, ever since Ally and Ben are here, I've become a nobody in the family.
What am I to them? A tool to pass on the Stewart family's genes?
"You may want to sit down for this. I'm afraid that the news I am about to announce will drive you
crazy."
Braden was determined to regain his position in the Stewart family. He curved his good-looking lips into
a confident smile, keeping everyone in suspense.
After staring at him coldly for a few seconds, everyone rolled their eyes and continued to chat and
laugh, ignoring him.

Braden raised his chin and said in a voice that wasn't exactly loud.
Yet his words were enough to turn the Stewart's mansion upside down.
"What... do you mean?"
Howard clutched his walking stick and looked at Braden excitedly. "Was I hearing things? Did you just
say that you remarried Shirley?"
Tracy was shocked and held her breath. "Howard, you didn't hear it wrong. This brat did say that he
remarried Shirley!"
"The spoken word flies. You always lie to me. I don't buy it!"
Howard refused to believe that Braden, who reacted so slowly when it came to relationships, could
make Shirley forgive him so quickly.
"If you don't believe it, feel free to ask another person who gets involved."
Braden looked at Shirley, smiling wickedly.
"Ah?"
Shirley was also stunned.
It was her plan with Braden to put on a show in front of Howard to make Howard happy.
Yet to her surprise, Braden started acting out of the blue, which caught her off guard. He didn't need
preparation or foreplay at all.
Now that things had come to this, Shirley had no other choice. She faked a smile and said to everyone,
"He ... is right. We remarried."
Howard wasn't easy to fool. His expression was serious. "Shirley, don't be afraid. I am here. Just tell us
the truth. Don't be frightened by him."
"Uh... I wasn't frightened by him. I..."
"Then it must have been a conspiracy. You agreed with him to lie to me."
Howard was very smart. He immediately saw through Braden and Shirley. He let out a long sigh and
said, "You know that I don't have much time left and don't want me to have regrets. So, you joined
hands with him to put on a show for me. Right?"
"No... No! You are thinking too much."
"Shirley, I know you. You always think about others, so its not surprising that you do such a thing. But
I'll say the same thing. Of course, I hope that you two can get back together, but the premise is that you
do forgive him and fall for him again. I hope that you choose to get back to him only because of
happiness."
After Howard persuaded her solemnly, he said domineeringly, "Look me in the eye and tell me, do you
really forgive him? Are you falling in love with him again?"
"I... Well... I..."
Pressured by Howard's powerful aura, Shirley gave in, feeling extremely guilty. She could only hope
that Braden could help her. She said to Howard, "Why don't you ask him? He knows everything."
"I knew it. I knew you wouldn't believe me. I'm glad that I was well prepared."
Braden said calmly. Then he took out two certificates from his pocket and said proudly, "We just got our
marriage certificates. If we were just acting, we wouldn't have to go through all these troubles."
"Let me see!"
Tracy's eyes lit up. She grabbed the papers and opened them to read them carefully. Then she
excitedly threw herself into Kenny's arms. "Oh, finally! Braden finally comes to his senses and knows
what's best for him! I'm so happy!"
Kenny also found it hard to believe. He took the two marriage certificates and stared at them for a long
time. Then he said seriously, "I think they are the real ones."
"Let me see."
Howard frowned, turning his gray eyebrows into knots, pushed up his glasses, and began to examine
the papers.
The huge living room suddenly became quiet, and it was like a laboratory. Only the sounds of breathing

After a long time, Howard's dignified and cold expression finally eased a little. First, he smiled. And
then he grinned. "Great! Awesome! This is a great day for our family! Two pieces of great news in one
day! I can finally feel eased!"
With his sharp eyes, he could tell that the marriage certificates were authentic.
And he knew Shirley. In his eyes, she wouldn't go this far just to make him happy.
So, there was only one possibility. Shirley thought it through and decided to forgive Braden.
"I'm glad that you two finally think things through. From now on, live a peaceful life together with the
kids. Stop holding a grudge against each other. If any one of you dares to do something that will let the
other one down, I will be the first one to say no..."
Howard held Shirley in one hand and Braden in the other. Then he put their hands together and said
earnestly, "Now, I want you to promise me that you will never be apart again. If you do, I, your witness,
will die miserably."
His words frightened everyone.
"Dad, what are you talking about? It's a good day, isn't it? Don't say that."
Kenny said helplessly.
Howard ignored him and waited for Braden and Shirley to promise him. "If you two really love each
other, then you shouldn't be afraid to make this promise, right?"
"I'm not afraid at all."
Braden's gaze was cold and determined as he stared at Shirley, who was in front of him. He said word
by word, "I, Braden, am Shirley's legal husband. I promise to be responsible for her for the rest of my
life and never part from her again."
"Well said. You are sincere enough."
Howard was very satisfied since Braden finally came through. Then he looked at Shirley with great
anticipation. "It's your turn, Shirley."
