Chapter 426 It’s a Good Day “Quiet…”
Braden cleared his throat and said, his voice neither loud nor low, “I have some good news to announce to you all.”
Everyone looked at him in unison, and they looked a little impatient.
Howard was the unhappiest one. Every time he saw Braden, he always looked disappointed. “Humph! What good news can you possibly have? I’m afraid it will ruin the mood.”
Tracy also waved her hand with disdain. “Braden, Howard doesn’t like you, and also,
Ally and Ben don’t like you. Most importantly, Shirley doesn’t like you, either… If you ask me, I suggest you go to your room and stop affecting us.”
Kenny frowned and urged, “What’s the matter? Tell us quickly. I’ve still got to peel walnuts for Ally and Ben.”
At the same time, he peeled off the walnuts and fed them to Bennett and Alisha respectively. In his deep voice, he said, “Ally, Ben, eat more walnuts, and you’ll become smarter. Don’t be like your daddy who does things without thinking.”
Braden was speechless.
He thought, ever since Ally and Ben are here, I’ve become a nobody in the family.
What am I to them? A tool to pass on the Stewart family’s genes?
“You may want to sit down for this. I’m afraid that the news I am about to announce will drive you crazy.”
Braden was determined to regain his position in the Stewart family. He curved his good-looking lips into a confident smile, keeping everyone in suspense.
After staring at him coldly for a few seconds, everyone rolled their eyes and continued to chat and laugh, ignoring him.
“Shirley and I remarried.”
Braden raised his chin and said in a voice that wasn’t exactly loud.
Yet his words were enough to turn the Stewart’s mansion upside down.
“What… do you mean?”
Howard clutched his walking stick and looked at Braden excitedly. “Was I hearing things? Did you just say that you remarried Shirley?”
Tracy was shocked and held her breath. “Howard, you didn’t hear it wrong. This brat did say that he remarried Shirley!”
“The spoken word flies. You always lie to me. I don’t buy it!”
Howard refused to believe that Braden, who reacted so slowly when it came to relationships, could make Shirley forgive him so quickly.
“If you don’t believe it, feel free to ask another person who gets involved.”
Braden looked at Shirley, smiling wickedly.
“Ah?”
Shirley was also stunned.
It was her plan with Braden to put on a show in front of Howard to make Howard happy.
Yet to her surprise, Braden started acting out of the blue, which caught her off guard.
He didn’t need preparation or foreplay at all.
Now that things had come to this, Shirley had no other choice. She faked a smile and said to everyone, “He … is right. We remarried.”
The huge living room suddenly became quiet, and it was like a laboratory. Only the sounds of breathing could be heard.
After a long time, Howard’s dignified and cold expression finally eased a little. First, he smiled. And then he grinned. “Great! Awesome! This is a great day for our family! Two pieces of great news in one day! I can finally feel eased!”
With his sharp eyes, he could tell that the marriage certificates were authentic.
And he knew Shirley. In his eyes, she wouldn’t go this far just to make him happy.
So, there was only one possibility. Shirley thought it through and decided to forgive Braden.
“I’m glad that you two finally think things through. From now on, live a peaceful life together with the kids. Stop holding a grudge against each other. If any one of you dares to do something that will let the other one down, I will be the first one to say no…”
Howard held Shirley in one hand and Braden in the other. Then he put their hands together and said earnestly, “Now, I want you to promise me that you will never be apart again. If you do, I, your witness, will die miserably.”
His words frightened everyone.
“Dad, what are you talking about? It’s a good day, isn’t it? Don’t say that.”
Kenny said helplessly.
Howard ignored him and waited for Braden and Shirley to promise him. “If you two really love each other, then you shouldn’t be afraid to make this promise, right?”
“I’m not afraid at all.”
Braden’s gaze was cold and determined as he stared at Shirley, who was in front of him. He said word by word, “I, Braden, am Shirley’s legal husband. I promise to be responsible for her for the rest of my life and never part from her again.”
“Well said. You are sincere enough.”
Howard was very satisfied since Braden finally came through. Then he looked at Shirley with great anticipation. “It’s your turn, Shirley.”
