Chapter 127 Divorce My Ass
After all, Shirley was on Braden’s payroll temporarily. Therefore, she started to do her job and pick up
shells.
Braden, on the other hand, put his hands in his pockets and followed Shirley, keeping a proper distance
from her. He looked like a father silently protecting his child, who was enjoying herself.
The sea breeze was blowing gently. On the broad golden beach, shallow and deep footprints of the two
were left, and their shadows overlapped. The scene was beautiful and romantic, and time. passed
quietly.
“Gosh! I found one!”
Shirley shouted excitedly after digging behind a reef for a while.
Braden raised his eyebrows slightly and thought, such things do exist for real?
He was a very materialistic, rational man who didn’t believe in any sort of legend.
Yet Shirley looked so excited. For the first time in his life, he didn’t burst her bubble. Instead, he walked
forward cooperatively, pretending to be interested. “What does it look like? Let me see.”
“Look! This is ‘Ocean Heart‘. Doesn’t it look like a heart? And it’s pink no less!”
Shirley washed the heart–shaped shell in the water, held it carefully between her fingers, and presented
it to Braden with a big smile.
Under the sunlight, the pink heart shell emitted a dreamy light. There seemed to be pink bubbles in
the air.
Braden coughed a few times.
He wanted to tell her that when he had been on vacation in Tahiti, shells of this kind were everywhere on
the beach, and they weren’t rare at all.
Yet, at last, he didn’t say those things out loud. He held it in and said indifferently, “Yeah. I guess
it’s alright.”
He didn’t get it. He thought, I’ve always been dictatorial. Why am I suddenly empathetic?
Perhaps it’s because it is rare to see her so timid and cute instead of so harsh and aggressive. I don’t

Unfortunately, in the next second, Shirley became the mood killer and took out her phone to
calculate the time.
“It took me a total of 97 minutes to pick up the shells. We agreed that you ought to pay me 1,600 dollars
per minute. So, you should transfer 155,200 dollars to me. After the discount, the money
you owe me is 124,160 dollars. Tell you what? Let’s skip the small changes. You just need to transfer
124 thousand dollars to me.”
After calculating, Shirley lifted her chin and looked at Braden with a proud expression. “How about that?
The money is worth it, right? I’m sure that no woman can say no to you once you kneel at the wedding
with ‘Ocean Heart‘ in your hand.”
Braden was speechless.
He thought, shit! I was too careless.
She is a woman full of wits, and she tricks people easily. She is the opposite of cute!
Braden’s handsome face was utterly cold. He was about to turn around and leave when Shirley suddenly
grabbed his hand.
“Wait a second. Take ‘Ocean Heart‘ with you.”
As Shirley spoke, she pulled his fingers open and put the pink shell in his palm hard. She said seriously,
“It’s the most useful tool to get the love of your life back, and you paid a lot to get it. I promise it will bring
you good luck.”
Braden still didn’t say anything.
He highly suspected that she was being sarcastic. He felt the urge to hit someone!
The wedding venue was bustling.
The guests were basically all present. They were all dressed in fine clothes and chatting around the
church.
Karen and the others had already picked Cherry up, and now they were waiting for the time to be up
for the ceremony.
Braden and Shirley returned to the wedding venue.
They showed up together. Seeing that, many people started to whisper.
“I thought Braden and Shirley were divorced. How come they show up together? And they look so
intimate.”
Hester Worley, a famous actress, crossed her arms and stared at Braden and Shirley as they were
slowly walking toward the church. Her eyes were full of jealousy.
Before she became a star, she had already had her eyes on Braden and was determined to be his
wife.
Yet he got married before she became famous.
Finally, he got divorced, which was her dream coming true. Yet now, when seeing him appearing
together with Shirley, she thought, divorce my ass! They don’t look like they’re divorced at all.
“Who knows? Braden doesn’t like her anyway. I guess it is she who is clinging onto him shamelessly.”
Jane looked at Shirley with eyes full of disdain. She then patted Hester on the shoulder and said,
“Hester, you are too reserved. You never make a move, even though it has been so many years. They
are now divorced. Right? Go get him! Countless women are eyeing Braden now. He is the Prince
Charming for them. How can you still be so calm?”
Hester looked anxious. “It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just that my career is thriving, and a new movie of
mine is about to go public soon. If there are rumors about me, things will get tricky.”
“Braden is single now. If you make him yours, people will praise you and envy you. How can that be
rumors?”
Jane couldn’t help but sigh. Then she continued, “Well, no matter what, you must watch out for Shirley.
Don’t be tricked by her appearance. She might look aloof and indifferent, but she is quite something. In
the past, Amelie was pregnant, yet Shirley still managed to take her out. I don’t dare to provoke Shirley
now. I always keep my distance from her.”
Ever since Amelie lost her place, Jane had always wanted to find someone on her side to be Braden’s
future wife. Hester was undoubtedly her first choice.
Hester’s cold and elegant face was filled with pride and confidence. She said arrogantly, “Those tricks of
hers are all child’s play in showbiz. I rose from the bottom, and I’ve experienced all sorts of things. I won’t
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlose to her.”
After that, Hester revealed a meaningful smile.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Shirley and Braden parted ways, and then she went straight to the
lawn where desserts were served.
She was starving since she had been picking up shells. Therefore, she was determined to treat
herself.
Shirley walked away hastily. Looking at her back, Braden was unhappy, but he didn’t stop her. He
went straight to the back of the church to meet Karen and the others.
In the distance, a white figure appeared in front of Braden. It was Cherry in her wedding dress.
Braden frowned slightly, his expression cold. “Why are you here?”
Cherry’s eyes were filled with sorrow as if she was about to cry the next second.
“Braden, can I have a second? I have something to tell you.”
“Alright. We can talk here.”
Braden remained his cool and kept his distance from her.
“There are some things I have to say to you alone. Please. Otherwise, I don’t think I can do this
today…”
Braden didn’t say anything at once.
He looked a bit hesitant.
He thought, today is Karen’s wedding, and all kinds of celebrities are here. If anything happens, the Whelan family will be embarrassed.
“Stop hesitating. Just say yes for Karen’s sake. Do me a favor. I’ll let go after I get these things off my
chest.”
Cherry bit her lip and pulled Braden towards the VIP lounge not far away.
For the sake of the big picture, Braden could only reluctantly agree.
Cherry closed the door of the lounge and threw herself into Braden’s arms. It looked like she had been
suppressing herself for a long time, and she cried so hard.
“Braden, I regret it. I made a mistake. I don’t love Karen at all. I love you!
“Ever since we broke up, I’ve dreamed of getting back together with you, but I didn’t expect you to get
married so soon. I’m so glad that you’re divorced now…”
Cherry stared at Braden with misty eyes, looking utterly pitiful. She asked cautiously, “If I tell your that I
want to start over with you, will you take me away from the wedding?“
