Chapter 450 Not Afraid To Lose Anything
“Well, how should I put it? Honestly, I don’t know why it became like this…”
Shirley held onto Nancy’s arm and let out a long sigh. She told the truth. “I had made up my mind to stay away from him forever. However, things change. He is tricky and bold. I planned to pretend to accept him and hoped that he could get tired of me.
However, as time passed by, he seemed to be … not bad.”
“Not bad?”
Nancy poked Shirley’s forehead with her index finger and said emotionally, “You must
have forgotten how badly he hurt you four years ago and how you have been
struggling through the past four years with the two kids.
Have you forgotten it all?
Moreover, he is quite emotional and indifferent. Now he is obedient to you. However,
he might turn against you and hurt you someday. He might also take Ally and Ben
away from you. Have you thought about it?”
“Yes…”
Shirley’s delicate face was slightly dim, but soon her eyes were filled with confidence.
“People in true love shouldn’t be afraid of losing anything. I accepted his passion
when he loved me, and I also prepared myself well for how coldly he would treat me.
To me, he is the icing on the cake. What’s important is the cake itself. Icing is
dispensable.”
Nancy helplessly rolled her eyes. “That makes sense. I got it!”
Anyway, she knew she couldn’t change Shirley’s mind. Both Shirley’s IQ and EQ were
high. She convinced Nancy quickly.
“However, have you ever thought about my brother’s feelings? If he knows that the
goddess he has protected for four years is back with that demon, he will go crazy!”
Nancy paused for a moment. She didn’t want to talk about Ewan now. It was moral
blackmail. But as long as Shirley and Braden got back together, they had to talk about
Ewan.
At least, Shirley had to.
Shirley’s mood was like a roller coaster, falling from the highest point to the bottom.
Even if Nancy didn’t mention this, Ewan was like a sting for her in her heart. As long
as she thought about him, she would be in pain.
The sense of guilt was like a deep pool that wrapped around her eyes, ears, nose,
and mouth, making her unable to breathe…
“Nancy, I’ve let your brother down…”
The rims of her eyes turned red, and her voice choked up. “I’m honest. And I never
owe anyone. Only Ewan, I don’t know how to make up for him. What I owe him
couldn’t be repaid even in my next life. But I don’t know what to do. Tell me, what
should I do?”
Shirley had choked with sobs. She squatted down powerlessly and covered her face
with her palms in shame. Tears seeped through her fingers. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Don’t cry. Don’t cry, Shirley!”
Like Ewan, Nancy was afraid of nothing but Shirley shedding tears.
She also squatted down and hugged Shirley’s shoulder. She tried to comfort Shirley
and said, “Hey, it’s okay. My brother is tough. If he knows that you are back with the
jerk Braden, he will be sad for a night at most.
The next day, he will come around only with the premise that you are happy. Your
happiness is all he wants.”
Nancy didn’t say this just to alleviate Shirley’s psychological burden. These were what
Ewan told Nancy before he left.
Evan had asked Nancy to take good care of Shirley. No matter what choice Shirley
made, as long as she was happy, he would unconditionally support her.
It seemed that Evan had already known that Shirley and Braden would be back
together.
Tsk tsk. I feel sorry for Ewan, but I could do nothing, Nancy thought.
Shirley trembled slightly and sobbed silently for a while. Then, she raised her head
and held Nancy’s hand tightly. “Nancy, tell me where Ewan is. I want to see him. I
have a lot to say to him.”
“He is traveling around the world. I don’t know where he is.”
Nancy smiled awkwardly, “I parted with him half a month ago in New Zealand. He
went to the east. It was said that there was a lighthouse that could welcome the first
ray of sunlight in the world. I went west and went to Kapalai Island…”
That was where Nancy met Keith, the womanizer.
Speaking of which, it seemed that Nancy, Ewan, and Keith had agreed on traveling
after breaking up.
Maybe, in essence, they were the same kind of people. They seemed to be free.
However, they were cowards. They could only forget everything by escaping.
In comparison, Shirley and Braden were quite brave, open, and poised. That was why
they could be back together.
“In fact, sometimes, I wonder if I made the right choice. If I stayed on Sunflower Island
and did not return to Seatie City, if I were willing to give up revenging for the Wilson
family and live freely, perhaps I would have married Ewan…”
Shirley fell into self-doubt again. Looking up at the sky full of stars, she felt that
everything was like an illusion. It was just unreal.
“To help me develop Korita Group, Ewan did not hesitate to cut ties with the Parker
family and caused a lot of trouble for himself. However, I… Love does strange things
to me. I look down on myself. I have no face to see him!”
As Shirley spoke out her thoughts, she did not realize that Braden had come back and
stood behind her. His handsome face… His expression was not that good.
“Eh, Shirley, let it go. Don’t think too much about it…”
Nancy touched Shirley with her shoulder and motioned for her to stop talking.
Although she did not support Shirley and Braden getting back together, now that it had
happened, she hoped that they would be fine and not get into conflicts because of
some baseless things.
What do you mean by letting it go? It has never been over!”
She said with a stubborn expression, “I know Braden and I won’t have a good future.
The reason why I went back to him is possibly not because of love, but because I’m
unreconciled. I wanna win once.”
Shirley was unreconciled that Braden had failed her and that she had to leave
awkwardly. Therefore, she wanted to taste the feeling of possessing.
“Let’s wait a bit longer. Perhaps when I’m tired of him, everything will be over…”
“Is that so?”
Braden’s voice fell from above, carrying a cold and sharp pressure like an icicle.
