When She Unveils Identities By Zaylee CortéZ Chapter 126

Chapter 126 Who Says You’re a Cat’s Paw?

Everyone was shocked.

Braden’s action stunned all the people present.

In everyone’s mind, Braden was aloof and low–key, and he would never do something as dramatic as

kissing and showing affection in public.

“What?”

Shirley widened her eyes, her mind completely blank.

She instinctively wanted to push Braden away, but then she recalled that she had promised him that

she would not let him lose today.

If she resisted now, he would look like a joke.

Thus, she could only bite the bullet and accept his kiss.

aden’s kiss was very earnest and affectionate. He kissed her lips intently and made her heart in

turmoil.

Shirley felt as if she had been put into an oven. Her cheeks were red, and she began to respond to him

unconsciously….

“Yes! That’s perfect. You two look so sweet and affectionate. All the couples here should learn from

you.”

The photographer was excited and pressed the shutter frantically, greedily capturing such a precious

scene.

Everyone was watching Braden and Shirley, fascinated by them, and it looked like they were enjoying a

free, sweet drama that made them immersed.

Even an experienced man like Keith couldn’t help but applaud. He sighed, “Braden is so good at this.

What kind of woman can say no to his charm? It seems that he is so talented at attracting women. I

envy him.”

Karen was watching the whole time as well. He smiled with a complicated look and said with a little

envy, “So, this is what it looks like when two people are in love. I guess Braden suddenly realizes

something…”

Only Cherry had obvious sadness on her beautiful face.

Even though she clenched her fingers and used all her strength to control herself, she still failed and

shouted, “That’s enough!

Her voice was so abrupt that everyone’s attention was attracted.

The corners of Cherry’s mouth trembled, and she revealed an ugly smile. She said in a joking tone,

“Today is my wedding with Karen. I don’t think it’s proper for someone to steal the thunder. Karen

and I are so envious.”

Braden then let go of Shirley, and it seemed that he still wanted to kiss her more. He had a

half smile and said, “You are right. We should do such a kind of thing when we are alone… Now that

we’ve stolen the thunder, we might as well leave and wait for you at the wedding.”

After he finished speaking, he pulled Shirley, whose face was flushed red, and left the room under

everyone’s gaze.

The two walked out of the hotel lobby. The green grass before them, the tall coconut groves, and the

blue sea not far away, everything made them delighted.

Braden took a deep breath. The fresh sea breeze that entered his nostrils went straight to his lungs,

giving him an unprecedented feeling of relaxation.

“It’s still early for the wedding ceremony. Shall we go to the beach?”

He asked the woman beside him in a soft voice.

As if she had just woken up from a dream, Shirley quickly shook off Braden’s hand and teased, “How

about that, my dear ex–husband? I was a great cat’s paw, wasn’t I? I made you look good; don’t you

think?”

Braden’s handsome face turned a little cold, and obviously, he sounded unhappy. He said, “Who

says you’re a cat’s paw?”

“Weren’t I?”

Even though Shirley was utterly shy, she still pretended to be indifferent and said carefreely, “You This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

kissed me just to piss the love of your life off, didn’t you? Well, from an objective perspective, you

get 9.5 out of 10 from the kiss. The remaining point is deducted since I don’t want you to be too

proud.”

Braden snorted, “What a smartass. You know everything.”

“I sure do!”

Shirley raised her chin and said complacently, “I can tell that you are not over the love of your life,

and vice versa. But I’m guessing that she isn’t willing to give up on Karen either. She is the capable

one here. She plays with both you and Karen well. I must salute her.”

“Is that so?”

Braden had a complicated expression on his face. He curled his thin lips and asked, “Then what should

I do? Snatch the bride for my sake?”

Shirley’s expression froze slightly, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

She thought, judging from his words, my guess is true. He still loves Cherry.

I feel sorry for him and myself as well.

It seems that my four years of marriage with Braden is a complete mistake. He would never love me

even without Amelie standing in our way.

Cherry is the love of his life, and she means the world to him. Who am I anyway?

“If you really can’t let go, then tell Ms. Tierney everything. Anything is possible before the wedding…”

Shirley resisted the sadness deep down. She thought she hid her real emotions well and comforted him

while pretending, “Also, if you do love her, don’t try to piss her off in childish ways. You know what?

When you and I were kissing, I observed. Ms. Tierney seemed so upset. It looked like you were the

winner, but you weren’t.”

Braden nodded and said seriously, “You have a point, and I have learned a lot.”

Then he said, “Well, the sea is so beautiful. Now is the ebb time, and the beach is vast. There are a lot

of beautiful shape shells out there. Why don’t you go pick some up with me?”

“Me?”

“Only you know that I have not let her go, so I can only ask you to help me. I want to surprise her.”

Braden’s tone was high and mighty, and it didn’t sound like he was asking for a favor at all.

Shirley was so furious. She thought, thanks a lot! Do I owe you anything? Why should I help you

gather shells?

Yet she still agreed.

“I can help you, but it won’t be for free. I’ll charge you 1,600 dollars per minute, and if it takes up to an

hour, you may have a 20% discount. I’ll bill you by the hour, and you have to pay me and transfer the

money to me on time. Do you agree?”

Braden didn’t know whether to laugh or be angry after hearing her words.

He thought, since when did you become a money–grubber? Money is pretty much all you talk about.

How badly do you need money?

Fortunately, I have more money than I can spend.

If I can buy your obedience with money, I’ll be more than glad to do so.

“Deal.”

Braden said without hesitation.

The two reached an agreement and walked towards the sea opposite the hotel at once.

They were facing the bluest and purest part of the bay, and the water was as crystal clear as glass.

Facing the sea and blowing the sea breeze, there was nothing to worry about.

“Ah! Sea, how are you doing?”

Shirley opened her arms and shouted.

She liked the sea, to begin with. Enjoying the sea while making money put her in an even better

mood.

Although the sun was bright, it was cool and cozy with the sea breeze blowing, and it was not hot at all.

Shirley stepped on the waves along the beach. Feeling a little guilty about earning money in such a

way, she turned back to look at Braden and grinned. “Don’t worry, Boss. It is said that there is a kin of

shell in this sea called ‘Ocean Heart‘, and whoever obtains one gets to stay happy forever. I’ll get one

for you and Ms. Tierney even if it means I’ll have to dig through this beach today. I’m sure you’ll win her

back with ‘Ocean Heart‘.”

Braden raised an eyebrow. “Then you must find one for me. I want to start over with her.”
