Chapter 408 It Has Never Been About Children
“Yes, say it. Although our family has declined, I’m still worthy of you. As long as you are willing, I will
hold a big wedding ceremony to make you a matrilocal husband””
Shirley held back her laughter and deliberately teased Braden Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Shirley was sure that someone as cold and proud as Braden would definitely not agree. Maybe he
would beat her up on the spot.
In this way, Shirley could pretend to be innocent. And the Stewart family would not blame her for being
cold-blooded and heartless to not give them a chance!
“Are you sure that you are willing to marry me?”
Braden raised his deep eyes and looked straight into her eyes.
“Um… Yes, yes!”
Shirley couldn’t see through what Braden was thinking and could only nod guiltily
“Alright, I will marry you.”
Braden said without hesitation.
“Kaff kaff
Shirley and Tracy were both shocked and choked.
“What did you say?”
Shirley wanted to confirm it.
It was absolutely impossible!
Did Braden say ‘yes”? There must be something wrong with my ears.
“I said I’m willing to marry you. When are you going to propose to me? When are we going to register
our marriage? When will the wedding be held?”
Braden approached Shirley step by step and asked three questions in a row.
“Well…”
Shirley swallowed her saliva and stepped backward, unable to answer.
Tracy was also amazed that her son had finally grown up. To get back his true love, her proud son
would swallow his pride. He was indeed her son!
“Braden, you are really brave. You don’t mind becoming a matrilocal husband. I give you a thumbs up.
Work on it… I hope you can make the names of you two appear on a marriage certificate together as
soon as possible!”
Tracy encouraged Braden for a while and left the couple alone.
Shirley also wanted to leave, but Braden locked the door behind her with his long arm. She was locked
between his tall figure and the door!
“When? You haven’t answered me yet, my dear!”
Braden asked in an evil voice. He smiled and raised her delicate chin with his long fingers.
Shirley blushed with a racing heart. She said nervously, “Braden, your mother is gone. Stop… messing
around. It’s not fun!”
“How am I messing around? I mean every word I say. Anyway, I don’t want to work hard anymore. I will
marry you, the female boss. I will be a househusband and take care of my family, which is the biggest
success in my life…”
“What’s so good about being a househusband? You will have no dignity or a sense of accomplishment.
Once I forsake you, you will have nothing. It is a big risk. Don’t be reckless!”
“It’s OK. I will serve you well. I will put my heart into it and won’t give you the chance to forsake me.”
“That’s not the point. Don’t you think it’s humiliating to be a matrilocal husband? Would your family be
crazy like you too?”
“We are in a new era now. We don’t have to follow tradition. Besides, some tribal women have several
husbands. I am very open-minded. I am willing to marry you!”
Braden approached Shirley slowly. His thin lips were next to her ear and he said ambiguously. “And in
terms of husband’s obligations, I will also do my best to serve you. I promise you that I will make you
happy in bed every night.”
“Knock it off. I’m scared…”
Shirley was extremely embarrassed, struggling to escape from his arms.
If she didn’t, she was afraid that she would surrender…
No woman could resist such a promise from a man, especially the last one.
A peerless man waited at home for his wife to come home and pleased her body and soul after a tiring
day. which was like winning the first prize in the lottery!
“Braden, just say it. What is your purpose? If it’s about the children’s custody, you’re wasting your time
Otherwise, we go to court and let the judge decide.”
With the last bit of sense, Shirley pushed him away.
“No, my goal has never been about children.”
Braden fixed his gaze on Shirley’s eyes and said jokingly.
“Then what is your purpose? Torture me, take revenge on me, and finally destroy me?!”
“Ami that evil in your eyes?”
“Or else? Other than that, I really can’t think of any other reason that can make you swallow your pride
to such an extent!”
Shirley looked up at Braden. She had mixed feelings about him. He seemed familiar to her, but
somehow she didn’t quite understand him.
“My mom already told you…”
Braden said, “I want our names to appear on a marriage certificate together.”
Shirley was slightly stunned. She felt a chill in her heart and rolled her eyes at him. “Dream on. It will
never happen.
“Why?”
“There’s no reason. If you really want a reason to stop you, I don’t mind telling you…”
Shirley paused for a moment. “Because my name will appear on another marriage certificate with
another man’s. He is more compatible with me than you!”
“Is that so?”
Braden’s eyes darkened a little. Anger slowly filled in them, but he deliberately suppressed it. He only
said a meaningful sentence, “Then we’ll wait and see.”
They said no more. They were like strangers under the same roof. Even if they walked past each other,
it was as if they did not know each other. There was not even any eye contact.
On the day he agreed to meet with Mr. Quintin, Shirley sent the children to kindergarten early, brought
the documents, and went to City Hall.
“Are you sure you want to become my wife?”
Mr. Quintin also got there on time. The moment he saw Shirley, he was a little surprised.
“Yes!”
Shirley nodded without a trace of hesitation.
“Are you over with your previous relationship? Will you regret it if you marry me?”
Mr. Quintin still couldn’t believe it. Shirley had really chosen him.
In this era, getting a marriage certificate was not a big deal. If things went wrong, they could get a
divorce certificate.
However, Shirley had married someone before. It might affect her if this new marriage went wrong too.
“Although I admire you and want to build a family with you… I don’t want to hurt you.”
Mr. Quintin held her shoulder and said sincerely.
“Don’t worry. You won’t harm me. Instead, you saved me. Thank you… for saving me!”
Shirley took a deep breath and threw herself into his arms.
It was not easy to make this decision, but since she had made the decision, she would not regret it!
