Chapter 396 No Kindness Comes Without A Reason

“You have a brother?”

Braden was a little surprised. This was the first time he knew that Shirley had a twin brother.

“Hmph, if my brother was still alive, he would have beaten you up. The reason why you dared to bully

me like this is that I get no one to rely on!”

Shirley couldn’t help but criticize Braden again.

Most of the time, the quality of a woman’s marriage was closely related to her family’s strength.

If a woman’s family was strong and could even help her husband, the husband, and his family didn’t

dare to trifle with her. Maybe they didn’t love each other that much, but they would respect each other

and also live a peaceful life.

Back when Shirley was in the Stewart family. She was disliked by the whole family, even the servants.

The essential reason was not that Braden didn’t love her, it was because she was alone and no one

was supporting her.

“I’m not that shallow.”

Braden expressed his innocence. “Back then, I simply didn’t have any feelings for you. Or rather… I

simply hated you and didn’t want to see you. It has nothing to do with your family.”

Shirley felt a little uncomfortable.

She already knew that Braden hated her, but when he said it so bluntly, she still felt that it hurt her self-

esteem.

“Actually, I’ve always been curious. Since you don’t like me, why did you promise grandpa to marry

me? With your unruly personality, you don’t seem like someone who will be threatened!”

Shirley finally couldn’t hold it in and asked the man about the doubts that had troubled her for so many

years.

Braden stared into the distance and was silent for a long time. He couldn’t help but recall the first time

he saw Shirley. Then he said lightly, “Because I feel that you are rather pitiful.”

At that time, the Wilson family encountered an accident. Shirley had just sent away her parents, and

then she had to hold a funeral for her grandfather.

In a single night, she had turned from a young lady who was loved by her family into a helpless and

homeless orphan who had countless enemies.

“At that time, grandpa summoned me back from Newchark to meet you. I still remember that you were

wearing plain clothes and there was a little white flower beside your ear. You had your head lowered all

the way, quiet and without a word…

“You are too thin. Your skin is pale and there is no color at all. It seems I can lift you up with a finger.

You look like a little beggar on the side of the road. If I don’t promise to marry you, you will definitely

die. I think that I am a non-marriage type anyway. It doesn’t make much difference whether I marry you

or not. Then probably I can probably save you.”

Braden had originally thought that he didn’t have any special feelings for Shirley. Logically, he should

have long forgotten the scene when he first met her.

However, when Braden recalled it now, it was still vivid in his mind. There was still a vague and

indescribable throbbing in a certain place in his heart.

Perhaps, Braden’s feelings for her were much earlier than he had thought…

“Wow, it was actually a flood of sympathy. You married me because you thought that I was too pitiful?”

Shirley never expected this to be the truth.

She didn’t know whether she should praise Braden’s kindness or sigh at how pathetic she was.

Sometimes, being pitied by others was a deeper blow to those with strong self-esteem.

Shirley would rather believe that he wanted to take advantage of her, so he married her than believe he

thought she was pitiful, so he married her.

“At that time, I felt that you were quite pitiful. You were just like the little white flower by your ear. Gentle

and weak, and when the wind blew, you would wither. In the end, after the divorce, I found out that your Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

tough personality had nothing to do with the word ‘gentle and weak. My understanding of you seemed

to be self-sentimental.”

Braden thought about Shirley’s strong contrast between before and after marriage, and he still couldn’t

take

He really couldn’t understand. How could there be two completely different states in one person?

But no matter if she was “gentle and weak” or “tough”, she could easily control his emotions.

Shirley smiled faintly and looked at Braden with a complicated expression. “I never knew that the cold

and aloof Mr. Stewart, who everyone respected, was actually a good person with overflowing

sympathy. In that case, why don’t you keep being nice and let me and my two children go? Don’t

disturb our peaceful lives, okay?”

Braden’s deep eyes flashed with a hint of sadness. He asked coldly, “Do you really think that my

approach is a disturbance to you and your children?”

“Isn’t it?”

Shirley said sharply, “Can’t you see that the children and I don’t like you? You suddenly broke into our

world and broke our stable living conditions. It’s kind of harmful to children.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t see that the children hated me. On the contrary, I feel that the two children are having

a good time with me. They need a father!”

“I admit that they do need a father, but this role can also be someone else.”

Braden’s eyes turned cold and he snorted. “From what you’re saying, you want to find my children a

stepfather?”

“That’s right!”

In order to make Braden give up, Shirley decided to reveal her cards. “To tell you the truth, I’ve already

found a partner that I can spend the rest of my life with. The two children also like him. We are very

happy now. Please don’t interfere and make everyone unhappy.”

“Life partner?”

Braden’s expression was cold, and his eyes were full of disdain. “You don’t even know the other

person’s background. And yet you call him a life partner?”

“Of course, I know his background. Don’t worry about it!”

“Have you ever thought about his purpose? No kindness comes without a reason.”

Braden had a serious expression on his face. His words were as sharp as a blade. “Although your

personal ability is not bad, as you said, you do not have a strong family to back you up. You have been

divorced once and have two children with you. If he does not have any ulterior motives, how can he

accept you without any ill feelings?”

These words were very unpleasant to hear, but they were also very realistic.

In a normal blind date market, the situation of Shirley was the lowest.

If a “perfect partner” suddenly appeared, it was almost a trap than a romantic relationship!

“Don’t use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman. Do you think everyone is like you?

There is only money in their eyes and no love?”

Shirley believed in Mr. Quintin’s character. He was so good to her and her children. It was impossible to

pretend

“I am the children’s biological father. There is no man in this world who is better than me to children. So

whoever you choose, it is better to choose me…”

Braden stared at Shirley and said earnestly, “So, think about it carefully. If possible, we will go to

register our marriage in a week.”
