Chapter 409 You Never Know Me
“Okay. That’s all you need to say.”
Through his special mask, Mr. Quintin looked at Shirley with mixed feelings and said meaningfully.
“Remember, this is your own choice. Do not regret it later no matter what, okay?”
“I won’t regret it!”
Shirley nodded again. She was burning all the bridges and gambling everything on a brand-new life.
No matter whether her ending was happiness or an abyss, she would not regret it.
“You know how it is with me. I have already vowed that I will never take off my mask in this life, so we
will register our marriage in an unusual way.”
“Unusual how?”
“Give me your documents. I will use some connections to register our marriage.”
“Ah…”
Shirley was a little embarrassed. “Are you really wearing this mask forever? Even if we are married, or
if we sleep in each other’s arms, you won’t take off the mask?”
“My face has been disfigured. I’m ashamed of it, and I won’t let anyone see it. If you mind it, we can
stop here.”
Mr. Quintin was very resolute, and there was no room for negotiation.
Shirley knew what the mask meant to him. It was like his forbidden area which couldn’t be touched by
anyone. So she did not insist and said carelessly, “If you don’t want to take it off, fine then. Anyway, it’s
not your face that makes me like you.”
If she only cared about appearance, she could have just married Braden. She believed that in the
entire
Seatle City, Braden was the most handsome man.
“What a surprise. You are quite less demanding on men.”
Mr. Quintin responded to Shirley’s open-mindedness in a strange tone.
The two of them sat in neither a small nor a big car, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
He approached her, with a half-smile on his lips. “And are you sure you want to sleep together with me,
a disfigured guy?”
“Well…”
Shirley was a little embarrassed. She flinched and looked repulsed. She was obviously very resistant to
Mr. Quintin’s approach.
In fact, she was uncomfortable with every man’s approach She was born wary of men, including the
person who would soon be her husband.
This might have something to do with the environment she grew up in. Her grandfather’s training gave
her a stronger heart than ordinary people. It was not easy for men to walk into her heart.
Except for that bastard Braden!
Damn it, why did she think of that guy again?
She was remarrying today. Why was she still thinking about her ex-husband? There must be something
wrong with her brain!
“Look at you. You are so resistant to me, but you’re okay with marrying me. You are such a paradox.”
Mr. Quintin did not tease her anymore and returned to his original position. The two kept a “safe”
distance between them.
Shirley heaved a sigh of relief. She fixed her clothes and hair to hide her embarrassment and
explained, “I usually need more time to get close to a person. Give me some time to get used to you,
then I won’t resist you anymore.”
“Are you sure?”
Mr. Quintin sneered, “But I heard that you fell in love at first sight with my sworn enemy, your ex-
husband!”
“Who told you that? Nonsense!”
Shirley denied it rather guiltily.
“Forget it, I won’t make things difficult for you. Since you have already made up your mind, then give
me your documents. Some other people will help us register our marriage.”
“Some other people?”
“Yes, they will put our photos together using photoshop and send the marriage certificate to you. At that
time, you will be able to see how I looked before I was disfigured.”
“Is… Is that all?”
Although Shirley felt strange, she could not suppress the expectation in her heart. Without any
hesitation, she gave Mr. Quintin all the documents.
It was like handing her tumultuous life to him. And from then on, she hoped she could live happily with
him. and the kids!
After parting with him at the Seatle Courthouse, Shirley returned to the Stewart’s house.
She was in a good mood and felt that her life had entered a new stage.
Although she didn’t tell anyone about her second marriage and there were no flowers, no blessings,
and no grand wedding, she felt extremely secure, at least more secure than when she married last
time.
She might not like Mr. Quintin, but she missed the time when she lived with him and the children
Nothing big happened, but they ate every meal together, spent a lot of time together, and knew that
they would always be there for each other It was not something that Braden could give her!
“You seem to be in a good mood?”
Braden slowly came down from the second floor. When he saw Shirley humming a song and pruning
flowers, he smiled and asked curiously.
“I won’t lie to you. I am.”
Shirley raised her head to look at Braden, then held a bouquet of roses to her nose and sniffed them.
Her smile was like water, almost overflowing her face.
In the past, she didn’t really like roses. She felt that roses were tacky. Now that she was in a good
mood, even the roses seemed lovelier
“Can you share it with me?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Braden sat down calmly opposite Shirley and crossed his legs, his posture elegant and noble.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t. You have no emotions, just like a robot. Even if I share it with you, you won’t
understand my joy”
Because of her good mood, she was extremely smug.
The most important thing was that she felt that she had outdone Braden at least on this one.
Because Braden had no emotions, no matter how amazing and successful he was, he would never be
able to know the happiness that “family” could bring people.
Braden wasn’t angry. There was a faint smile on his handsome face the whole time. And there was
even a hint of affection in his eyes as he looked at Shirley. “Try me.”
“Alright, since you really want to know, then I’ll talk with you for a bit.”
As Shirley placed the pruned flowers into the exquisite and expensive vase, she chatted with Braden
casually. “I’m actually very curious. For an emotionless robot like you, when will you feel happy?”
“Happy?”
Braden narrowed his eyes and sank into deep thought.
“Let me guess. When you buy some more companies, or when the Stewart Group’s stock reaches the
highest price it can get? Or when you win against your rivals?”
Shirley looked at Braden with sympathy. She shook her head and sighed. “No matter what your
ultimate goal is, it can’t be an ordinary family life. You don’t care about wives, kids, and stuff, right?”
Braden’s eyes darkened slightly. He said helplessly, “It seems you never know what I’m thinking.”
Shirley paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly, “Maybe. But it doesn’t matter. I have my own life. I
don’t need to know what you’re thinking.”
If it was in the past, she would hope that she could know more about him and walk into his heart.
But now, she had started a new journey in her life. If there was anyone that she needed to know, it
could only be her husband and not someone unimportant
At this time, Shirley’s phone rang.
“Ms. Wilson, do you have time right now? There is a package for you. Please come and sign for it *
