When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 390

Chapter 390 A Fatal Secret

On the way back to the apartment, Shirley called Mr. Quintin before the two children left school.

“What’s the matter?”

Mr. Quintin was very surprised to receive Shirley’s phone call.

“There is indeed a special situation. Where are you now?”

“Me?”

Mr. Quintin paused for a moment and replied, “I am currently at Crimson Pawnshop. I need to deal with some special matters.”

“I see. When will you be free? Can you come to the apartment?”

Shirley sounded a little anxious as if she had something important to discuss with Mr. Quintin.

“Then wait a moment. I’ll be right there.”

Mr. Quintin heard the worry in Shirley’s tone and said in a deep voice.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

When Shirley returned to the apartment, she began to organize her and the children’s daily necessities.

About an hour later, Mr. Quintin arrived as promised.

“You’re finally here.”

When she saw Mr. Quintin, she felt a sense of security for some reason.

Although Mr. Quintin had not spent a lot of time with her and the children, every time he accompanied her

and the children, they felt the warmth of home. She had regarded this man, whose reputation was bad, as her

family.

No matter how strong a woman was, she still needed a man to support her and warm her.

Mr. Quintin coldly looked at the room. When he saw the luggage she had packed, he slightly raised his thick

eyebrows. “Are you moving?”

“No. I’m just leaving for a week…”

“Where are we going?”

“…”

Shirley scratched her hair and was a little embarrassed. She did not know how to explain her situation to Mr.

Quintin.

Although she and Mr. Quintiri had agreed from the beginning that they were just putting on a show, after getting along with each other for a while, they had feelings for each other.

If she told him where she went, he would be angry, right?

“Let me guess…”

Mr. Quintin pursed his thin lips and slowly said, “You have reconciled with your ex-husband, so you will move with the children to live with him and you will be a happy family again. As for me, I’m just a poor backup. I

can only go back to where I came from, right?”

“Don’t say so. I’m going to live with Braden, but it is only a week, and it is only because of special circumstances. The children and I are not going to be a happy family with him. I can’t reconcile with him!”

Shirley said coldly and silently clenched her hands.

Once she hurt his feelings, it would be impossible for him to recover. She understood it very well.

“As for you, you are not a backup.”

She raised her eyes and met Mr. Quintin’s eyes.

They looked at each other and could clearly feel that they were no longer just putting on a show. It was just

that they didn’t mention it.

Most of the time, it was like the most fatal secret.

The scene of her first seeing Braden appeared in her mind. She couldn’t forget about the only sweetness in their relationship, and she couldn’t help but smile.

“You don’t know that at that time, I couldn’t live without love. When I saw him, I was thinking about having children with him, living together with him and our children, having dinner, watching TV, and traveling

together.

“In our marriage, I had been working hard for these things. However, I couldn’t make these things real before i divorced him. Instead, I found this feeling in you.”

Mr. Quintin was silent.

He listened to Shirley’s words. She sounded both sad and sweet. Mr. Quintin did not respond for a long time.

Shirley also realized that she was overthinking. She coughed lightly and explained, “Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have feelings for him now. I only have feelings for you, so I want to…”

“Make things real with me?”

Mr. Quintin asked, hitting the nail on the head.

Shirley clenched her fists even tighter and nodded hard, “At least, I’m working on it.”

Four years had passed. She was about thirty years old, but she spent most of her life with a man who was not worth it. It was time for her to start a new journey.

Perhaps it would be very difficult, but she finally had the impulse to open her heart and try to take a step

forward.

“I understand.”

Mr. Quintin held Shirley’s face gently and looked at her carefully. His eyes were gentle but complicated.

Her face was perfect and delicate. She looked vulnerable, but her thin lips looked stubborn. Her eyes were very beautiful and bright. Mr. Quintin could tell from her eyes that it wasn’t easy to win her heart. Because of this, he couldn’t stop thinking about her.

Braden was really the biggest fool in the world. He actually gave her a chance to run away. She was such an

amazing woman.

It is my honor to be able to get married to you. We were acting in the beginning, and things were getting real. However, to not make you regret it, you can make a decision after a week.”

Mr. Quintin gently stroked her cool cheek as if he regarded her as a treasure. He was so gentle and patient.
