When She Unveils Identities

When She Unveils Identities By Zaylee CortéZ Chapter 26



Chapter 26 Shirley Was a Genius!
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
Liam immediately sent over Shirley’s personal file.
After reading it, Braden was shocked.
He and Shirley
had been married for four years. It was not until they were about to divorce that he realized that his wife was a famous top stude
nt in Seatle University!
She skipped two levels in high school and entered the ace major, electronic communication
and technology of Seatle University with no test, specializing in electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic waves.
She began to assist teachers in teaching experiments in her sophomore year. As long as there was a class where she appeared,
the room was full.
In the second year of graduate school, she went to the
best university in Loria as an exchange student, and she created many legends there.
All the changes happened in the year of her third year of graduate school.
The Wilson family went bankrupt all of a sudden. Her father and mother jumped off a building
and died under great pressure. The Wilson family, which used to
be one of the eight great families, was defeated overnight by countless enemies.
Next, Shirley’s grandfather asked for help before he died.
Under the pressure and temptation of Shirley’s grandfather, Braden had no choice but to rush back from abroad and hold the we
dding with Shirley in a hurry.
Because he was dissatisfied with this contractual marriage, Braden was also annoyed with Shirley.
He remembered meeting Shirley for the first time on a wet, rainy day.

She was dressed in plain white with a small white flower beside her ear. She was thin and small, with a sad face, and said nothin
g.
Braden didn’t like this dull and gloomy woman. He had a bad first impression of her.
Therefore, in the past four years, he had no interest in his legal wife, and naturally, he would not take the initiative to get to
know her. He just treated her as a tool when he needed her in public.
Other than that, they had no connection.
It had to be said that in the past four years, as his wife, Shirley was very responsible.
She was obedient, dignified, and filial to her parents–in–
law. Even though she had suffered from emotional abuse for four years, she didn’t cheat on him.
If it hadn’t been for Amelie, Braden even thought he would have stayed married...
Shirley woke up from the sun and stretched herself.
It was the best night’s sleep she’d had in four years.
Looking around, she didn’t find Braden in the room.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
“Wow, that guy finally left!”
As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she saw Braden sitting on the sofa. Shirley was shocked.
This man haunted her all the time!
“Why are you still at my home? Isn’t the CEO of Stewart Group supposed to be busy?”
Shirley stared at the man, with a look of disgust on her face.
Braden put down the newspaper and looked at the woman calmly.
“You’re awake. Come and have breakfast.”

It was not until then that Shirley realized that the dining table was filled with breakfast of all kinds.
She had mixed feelings.
Had it been before, she might have fainted with happiness.
But now, it was too late.
She just thought it was ridiculous.
“Braden, you really don’t have to do that.”
Shirley looked at the man indifferently and said, “First, we have a contractual marriage. Second, we
are about to divorce. Third, Amelie may need this breakfast more than me.”
“All in all, as my ex–husband–to–be, I hope you can keep a distance from me. Don’t make me
misunderstand.”
Her words were straightforward and even hurtful.
Braden had always been arrogant, but now he was not angry at all.
He stood up from the sofa and approached Shirley step by step.
The two looked into each other’s eyes in the quiet air.
He was much taller than Shirley, and he looked oppressive and strong.
“So, what did you misunderstand?”
He asked her coldly.
Shirley was speechless.
Shirley pursed her lips uneasily and didn’t answer.
She thought to herself, “Why are you pretending to be innocent? How can you not know?”

Braden
stared at the woman with deep eyes and said bluntly, “No matter what you misunderstand, I hope you don’t overthink about it. Ev
erything I did was out of gratitude for you risking your life to
save me.”
“Nothing else.”
Hearing that, Shirley smiled with self–mockery.
She knew that it was she who thought too much and was too sentimental.
In the past four years, this man had never had a special feeling for her.
How could he suddenly change now?
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Shirley felt much more relaxed at once. She smiled and teased, “Wonderful. After we get the divorce certificate, we will never hav
e any connection for the rest of our lives.”
Braden didn’t know what to say.
Pursing his lips, Braden didn’t respond.
Wasn’t this also his idea? Why was he not happy at all?
Shirley rolled up the sleeves of her robe, pointed at the bruise on her arm, and said to Braden, “Look, my wound is scabbed. I ca
n take care of myself, so you can leave now.”
He looked at the wound on Shirley’s arm which was as long as his index finger and said in a low voice, “Where’s the potion? Let
me apply it for you.”
“No. I can do it myself.”
Ignoring Shirley’s refusal, Braden dug out the potion and a cotton swab.
The wound was deeper and longer than he had imagined. No one could imagine how painful she was

at that time!
“Ouch, it hurts!”
Shirley gritted her teeth in pain as the potion was applied.
“Relax...”
Braden gently blew on her wound and said coldly, “Since you’re afraid of pain, don’t try to be a hero.”
“Hey, you bastard, I got injured to save you. How could you say that?”
Shirley was so angry that she wanted to beat him. How could there be such an ungrateful guy!
“Don’t do such a stupid thing again. I’m not worth your risk.”
Braden looked at Shirley’s wound and said in a low voice.
He was born strong and didn’t like to owe anyone anything...
When the potion was half applied, Braden’s phone rang.
Shirley looked at the caller ID and found it was Amelie.
She reminded Braden, “Your phone is ringing. Don’t you want to answer it?”
Braden hesitated for a moment, put down the cotton swab and answered the phone.
“Braden, where are you? Can you come to the hospital today and sign a card as my child’s father?”
Amelie’s voice was soft, but Shirley could hear everything.
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Braden replied without hesitation.
It was clear that he really cared about Amelie, and about his child with her.
And think of the two little ones in her belly, who might never get a chance to be loved by their daddy.

Shirley’s heart ached.
Looking at Shirley’s half–finished wound, Braden hesitated.
“It doesn’t matter. You can go now. She is waiting for you. I can finish the rest by myself.”
“Are you sure you can do it?”
“It’s just a bruise. Why can’t I?”
Shirley raised her eyebrows and said with a little sarcasm, “If she finds that you are still entangled with your ex–wife–to–
be, things will be much worse.”
Her words made Braden a little worried.
i
The only child of his brother must be perfect.
“Call me if you need anything.”
Then he grabbed his coat and phone and left in a hurry.
The house was cold again.
Shirley sat there for a long time before she smiled with self–mockery.
Shirley thought, “This is called favoritism. Shirley, you’ve lost everything!”
Well, that man finally disappeared. She could finally freely read parenting books at home and do
yoga.
When Shirley was enjoying her moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Could it be Braden?
With some expectation, Shirley opened the door, only to see an unexpected person.
