When she unveils identities

Chapter 451

Chapter 451 Be Careful When It Thunders

Shirley turned around and looked at Braden. His eyes went cold again.

The air seemed to condense right now. They were on a warm island, yet it was so

bone-piercing chilling.

Neither Shirley nor Braden spoke, however, the tension between them was so

obvious.

”Damn!”

Nancy covered her face with her palms. She knew it! She was done for!

In her mind, the strange atmosphere was no different from that of a horror movie.

Between the two, she was at a loss. She wished she could just jump into the sea.

“Well, Mr. Stewart, don’t get us wrong. Shirley and I talk without boundaries.

Sometimes we say things we don’t mean it. We joke a lot. And… And…”

Under his strong pressure, Nancy gave in and tried her best to find excuses for

Shirley.

Although Nancy didn’t approve of Shirley and Braden getting back together, she didn’t

want things between Shirley and Braden to go south because of her meaningless

conversation with Shirley.

“Who says we don’t mean it? When I say something, I mean it.”

Shirley looked at Braden expressionlessly. She wasn’t nervous at all because of his

coldness. She said calmly, “Everyone wants love to last forever, but love is nothing but

the result of surging hormones. In the end, only dullness remains. Everyone will get

tired and bored. It is better to accept the law of human nature honestly than to make

false promises…’

“You’re so rational. People who don’t know might think I’m dating a robot.” Braden

smiled coldly. His smile was like a knife, terrifying others.

He used to be a calm, rational, and emotionally stable man, who was known for never

showing his emotions.

Yet now, he had lost control of his emotions.

And Shirley was the reason. In fact, she didn’t even need to do anything. The

appearance of her sanity alone was enough to make him lose it!

Shirley continued to say expressionlessly, “Don’t flatter me. I can never be compared

to a robot. A robot can stay sincere, but I can’t promise that.”

“So, you were ready to leave me long ago?”

Braden clenched his fists and asked, almost gritting his teeth.

“I won’t go that far. Maybe I should put it this way… Let nature take its course. If we

can get along, then we’ll stay together. Otherwise, we should go on our separate

roads. Aren’t you the same?”

“No.”

Braden’s eyes were as deep as a black hole that could suck anything in. He stared at

her without blinking. “From the moment I chose to start over with you, I never wanted

to be apart from you.’

Let alone Shirley, even Nancy, who was an onlooker, was a bit touched by his

confession.

As the former biggest fan of “Summery Memories’, Nancy felt the strong urge to want

the two to get together. However, she still tried to suppress her impulse with reason.

Nancy thought, wake up, Nancy! Things between them are way too complicated now.

You can’t be obsessed with letting them stay together!

Nancy looked at Shirley and thought that the latter would be as moved as her.

After all, no woman in this world could resist the sweet nothings said by the man she

loved.

Unexpectedly, Shirley looked puzzled, and she reminded Braden kindly, “Be careful

when it thunders.”

Braden was speechless.

And so was Nancy. Both of them knew the saying, “A liar is easily struck by lightning.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Shirley didn’t want to embarrass Braden after all, so she softened up and coaxed him

as if he were her rebellious son, ‘Sometimes being too confident might lead to bad

results. I just don’t want us to regret what we said, and I’m looking out for the long

haul.”

“Are you suggesting that there is a long haul between us?”

“Of course!”

Shirley held his handsome and cold face and teased, “Otherwise, why would I waste

my time with you now? Look at you. You are so stingy, and your face is so tight that

you are no longer handsome. Come on. Smile for me. I love your smile the most. I will

always be swept off my feet every time you smile…”

“Stop being so glib. I’m warning you, if you dare to leave me, I will break your legs!”

Braden’s tone was still cool and arrogant. However, he was in a much better mood

now and couldn’t help but smile.

“Alright, alright. Go and prepare dinner. Nancy is starving!”

“OK. Keith is roasting the lamb. It should be ready by now. Let’s go over there.”

After Braden finished speaking, he kissed Shirley possessively and went to prepare

dinner for them happily.

Nancy watched the whole thing, and her eyes were wide open. After a long time, she

still failed to come back to her senses.

“This… Is that it?”

She swallowed and asked Shirley sincerely, “Shirley, what exactly did you do? How

did you manage to make him so obedient? He is Mr. Stewart! The legendary

domineering iceberg! I was ready to face his terrifying anger, and he calmed down just

like that? And he went to prepare us dinner? Isn’t he a great husband or what?”

“I don’t know, actually…”

Shirley shrugged and let out a long sigh, saying, “Fate takes turns. He becomes the

old me.”

The location of the banquet was on the beach on the west side of Sunflower Island.

The beach was flat and open, and the sand was fine and soft. Also, because it was in

an elevated position, it was almost immune to high tide. All things considered, it had

always been the best party spot on the island.

There was a bonfire and a barbecue on the beach. The great ram leg was cooked,

and it was sizzling and fragrant.

“Sunflower Island is as relaxed as always. It is completely my dream island!”

Nancy faced the sea, opened her arms, and hugged the wind and waves, her body

and mind completely relaxed.

Bennett and Alisha were having fun with Keith. When they saw Nancy, they

immediately abandoned Keith and ran toward her.

“Auntie Nancy, you’re here too. Great! Ben and I miss you so much!”

Alisha smiled sweetly and threw herself into Nancy’s arms. Then she enthusiastically gave Nancy a big

kiss.

“Long time no see, Ally. How come you have become much cuter? Let me kiss you!”

Nancy held Alisha’s face and kissed Alisha ceaselessly as if Alisha’s face were jelly.

When Nancy wanted to kiss Bennett, he crossed his arms like an adult. He turned his head far away

and said seriously, “I am a boy, and you are a woman. You can’t kiss me just like that. If you kiss me,

we have to get married.”

He came to such a conclusion after seeing Braden and Shirley kiss under numerous situations

countless times.

“Well…”

Nancy didn’t know how to refute Bennett for a moment.

“Dinner is ready. Come here!”

Keith tapped his champagne glass and greeted the crowd as if he were the owner of the island. He

looked at ease.

People gather around the bonfire. The long table was set with all kinds of delicacies and desserts, as

well as flowers and ribbons, which was very romantic.

“Ally, Ben, Auntie Nancy has a show to perform. Shall we enjoy her show before we eat?”

Keith smiled. Through the swaying candlelight, he looked at Nancy, who was sitting opposite him.
