Chapter 40 Possessiveness Was Not Love

Shirley left the bar and waited for the car

The night breeze was slightly cool, brushing against her cheeks. She felt comfy.

She was dressed in a white dress, with waterfall–like hair fluttering slightly in the wind. She was

attractive

Many men stopped their cars, honked or whistled at her, and tried to take her for a ride But they were all scared away by her fierce eyes.

Another car came. The window slowly rolled down. It was Braden.

Her eyes were cold as if she didn’t know him at all.

“Need a ride?”

He invited.

“No! We don’t go to the same place.”

She refused.

He was speechless.

They lived in the same house!

She didn’t even try to hide her hatred.

Braden didn’t understand.

She must be pretending

Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably happy.

Even though she embarrassed him in public just now, he didn’t think it was a big deal.

He tilted his head slightly and invited again, “Get in the car. Let’s talk about Blosso Law Office”

“Unnecessary.”

Shirley pursed his lips, “I think I can handle it. At least better than you.

Braden’s voice got cold, “Do you think everything will be fine if you can handle Jim? The real problem is not him.“

Shirley knew he was referring to Eliza, who hadn’t met her yet.

She was the real backbone of the Blosso Law Office.

If she couldn’t handle Eliza, she couldn’t really have Blosso

Braden’s cold eyes were as sharp as a falcon. He stared at her face

He saw her doubts and retreated, so he generously gave her a chance to choose again.

*The divorce agreement hasn’t taken effect yet. If you regret it, get in the car and talk to me about property division again. As long as it’s not too much, I will agree. You don’t have to use your uncle

as a cover anymore

Braden thought he was a generous ex husband

Shirley raised her thin eyebrows lightly and curled her lips into a chuckle, “Thank you. But please rest assured, from the moment I agreed to divorce you, every decision I made and every word I said, was sincere. I will never regret it.

Her broken heart would not be healed as he said some nice words

Braden narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering if she really meant it

A silver supercar drove over from behind.

“My car is here

She walked away and said, “By the way, please don’t be late for the divorce next week.”

Inside the silver sports car, Ewan was driving cautiously. He didn’t want to have any accident to hurt Shirley and her babies.

“You go to a bar when you are pregnant. Cool!”

“I only had juice

Shirley propped her head and looked out the window absent–mindedly

Ewan noticed it

He joked, “You guys haven’t officially received a divorce certificate yet. Why don’t you tell him about your pregnancy*

“I could see that he still cares about you. He has possessiveness”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so angry to see her getting into his car

As long as a man was still possessive of a woman, their story would not be over

“Besides, you risked your life to save him.

Ewan added

“Stop!”

Shirley interrupted him, “Why should I let him choose? What good will it do for me to go back?”

“I’m tired of being a housewife. I’m not a masochist!”

Besides, possessiveness was not love

“That’s right!

Ewan was instantly relieved, “I’m glad you have finally recovered from loving him!”

“However, children always need a father I can play a role here”

His eyes were sparkling, cynical, yet affectionate. He was charming

Shirley glanced at him, “Are you sure?”

Ewan was threatened, “Okay, Okay. I’m the uncle!”

He was a master of romantic affairs. But he had nothing to do with her

However, he knew he was special to her

They shared a secret. Even Braden didn’t know it

“Let’s not talk about those messes. How are the things Lasked you to do?”

Shirley asked.

“I’ve already made an appointment for you. At ten o’clock tomorrow morning at Cloud Valley.”

Shirley nodded, “Okay, I will go alone tomorrow.

“That can’t be done. You are pregnant, and I have to accompany you. Besides, that person is not easy to deal with. He is Braden’s friend. What if he makes it difficult for you?”

Ever since Ewan knew that Shirley was pregnant with twins, he wished he could be by her side 24/7

But Shirley was firm, “I can handle this.”

“That’s true.”

Ewan suddenly figured it out.

Shirley was a leopard with sharp claws. She didn’t need anyone’s protection.

‘Be cautious tomorrow. I’ll wait for your triumphant return.”

Due to the traffic yem when Shirley arned there it was exactly one past ten, just one minute inte

As the same time man surrounded by a large group of flattering people was walking out of Cloud

Vallery

He was Jack Burman, the chairman of the Burman Group with whom Shirley had made an

expointment

Burman Group had powerful strength and a strong background. As one of the largest investment compenses in Searle City, it had been a loyal partner of Stewart Group for many years.

Since the client data leakage crisis of Stewart Group had caused a lot of losses to Burman Group, the lætter had terminated their cooperation contract and was now looking for a new partne

Shirley walked up quickly and stood right in front of that group of tail and burly men. She said a perfect smile on her pretty face, neither humble nor pushy, Mr Burman, I am Shirley Wilson, and I have heard a lot about you. Shall we have a minute?

Although she looked slender and delicate, she presented a powerful aura. For a girl speaking with such a strong tone, almost everyone couldn’t bring themselves to decline her

But Jack Burman was not everyone.

After Burman Group terminated its contract with Stewart Group, he had been like a piece of walking cake that everyone wanted to have a bite of. So for the countless people who came up to him wanting to “chat” with him, like Shirley, he didn’t want to pay any attention to them at all.

“Shirley Wilson, I know you, the daughter of the failed Wilson family and dignified daughter in–law of the Stewart family

Jack checked her out from head to toe with a complicated look and sneered, “Braden really

panicked. Any port in a storm, huh? In order to make me change my mind, he even sacrifices his wife I guess no one is crueler than him.”

Shirley thought that Jack must have misunderstood, so she explained calmly. “It has nothing to do

with Braden nor the Stewart Group. I came here just for myself and Korita Group ‘

“So, you are the mysterious person for whom Ewan keeps pestering me all the time?”

Jack slightly raised his eyebrows, showing a little more interest in her

He vaguely remembered meeting her at a family party two years ago.

At that time, she had just been an eye candy standing next to Braden, silent, dignified, and not appreciated by Braden. She hadn’t left many impressions on him.
