Chapter 169 The Person Chosen Is the Most Pathetic
Braden stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Shirley’s cheek, but in the end, he held back.
Braden used to be quiet and hardly spoke nonsense, but this time, he was chattering. “I mean it. Think
about it. I’ll ask you for an answer tomorrow morning
Shirley’s fingers clenched slightly. For the first time, she didn’t argue with Braden but nodded. “Alright!”
No matter how close she was to Braden, as long as Braden wanted to start over with her, she would
consider it for the sake of the two babies in her belly.
After Braden left, Shirley stood in front of the huge floor–to–ceiling window, silently looking at the city
under her feet. She was seriously thinking about the plan for the future.
Would she make good achievements to make her family great again with the two kids according to the
original plan?
Or, would she return to the past days, hide under the protection of the Stewart family, and be a
housewife who cared about nothing but her husband and children?
It seemed that there would be flaws in both choices.
No matter how she chose, she would regret it.
Just as Shirley was hesitating, her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. The call was not from Seatle
City nor Santho City, but North City.
The moment she picked up the call, she heard a woman’s voice Shirley’s heart sank. She just wanted to
swear
After speaking a few words while enduring her disgust, Shirley suppressed her anger and said coldly,
“Okay, give me a minute. I’ll be right there.”
Shirley rushed to the Lakedrift Manor where she agreed to meet Amelie without stopping.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis manor was located in North City and was one of the few places in sightseeing investments of the
Stewart Group.
Because of the environment and its high–end quality, the manor was never open for business and only a
few people with privileges could go there.
As soon as one entered the manor, he would see the mist linger, the shade of the trees, and breathe
fresh air. It was just like a fairyland.
Looking from afar, a white European style building that was as grand as a castle was built halfway up the
mountain. It showed the impressive fortune of the Stewart Group
Shirley got out of the car, and what she saw was a huge rose garden with roses blooming. They were
reflected in her eyes and almost dyed the sky red.
Amelie was in a white dress while sitting on the recliner in the rose garden. She was leisurely trimming
roses and humming songs. She looked so happy!
Shirley instantly became angry and snorted coldly, “It seems that the embarrassment couldn’t stop you
from having a good life!”
Amelie looked back at Shirley, and she looked like she was a winner. She said proudly, “Of course Living
in such a place will make me forget the greatest troubles.”
“Living? You’re hiding here!”
Shirley hit the nail on the head and said, “You’re like a rat that’s been hiding away just to survive!”
Amelie was not angry. She cut a rose that was in full bloom and sniffed it. She said with a charming
expression, “I understand that you said this because you couldn’t enjoy such a life. You are jealous. of
me After all, you are Braden’s wife, but you will never get his love!”
“Really? How much does he love you?”
Shirley crossed her arms and watched Amelie’s acting like an audience.
“Can’t you see that although Braden asked me to move out of the Stewart’s house, he gave me such a
magnificent castle? Although he removed the roses I planted there, he gave me bigger and more
expensive ones here”
Amelie stared at the roses in her hand and asked Shirley proudly, “The rose seedlings here were
transported from Bulgaria by air Each of them is worth tens of thousands of dollars. This rose garden has
hundreds of acres in the area and countless roses are planted here. It represents uncountable money
and Braden’s love for me!”
Shirley looked at the rose garden and found it shocking. She said flatly, “All I want to say is that the
Stewart family is rich.”
She couldn’t deny her jealousy.
Other than jealousy, the stronger emotion was disappointment.
Thinking back, she had been married to Braden for so many years, but he had never done anything for
her. He would never be so generous and romantic
Why could Amelie get his favor?
She would accept it if she lost to someone other than Amelie However, Braden chose Amelie, a goody
two shoes who had no merits. Shirley couldn’t figure it out and couldn’t let go!
“The Stewart family is rich, but Braden is not a fool. Not everyone can make him spend so much
money. It must be because I am so special that he took care of me. On the other hand, you.
Amelie looked at Shirley from head to toe and shook her head. “I feel sorry for you. You have been
married to him for four years, but you never got his love even for a single day. You are a disgrace to
us women!”
“Enough, Amelie. Did you call me here just to show off?”
Shirley sneered, “How much do you think Braden loves you? If he does, how could he let you disappear?
In fact, he only cared about the baby in your belly. After the baby is born, you’ll be worthless to him and
you’ll end up being abandoned!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No, Braden promised that he would take care of me and the child for the rest of his life. He let stay me
here for now because he was in trouble. When everything is over, he will take me back, publicize my
identity, and marry me!”
“Hahaha, you are really naïve!”
Shirley approached Amelie step by step and patted her cheek. She hated her for being shameful and felt
sad at the same time. “Do you know that the Stewart family will not accept a vicious or valueless
woman? You are now a nobody and are just a poor wretch who committed suicide in the hospital. Once
your baby is born, the Stewart family will abandon you like wiping the mud off their shoes. Even Tracy,
who has been supporting you, now pesters me every day. She wants me to marry her son. Stop your
daydream!”
Her words were sharp and unpleasant, but it was the truth.
Tracy’s sudden friendliness and Braden’s sudden proposal were based on the fact that Shirley was more
useful than Amelie, so they chose the best option.
The person chosen was the most pathetic.
At least, at this moment, she sympathized with Amelie. She hoped that Amelie would wake up soon.
Unfortunately, Amelie was not as open–minded as Shirley thought and went crazy.
“That’s impossible. I am pregnant with the Stewart family’s child. Tracy likes me and Braden loves me.
Sooner or later, I will marry into the Stewart family. You are jealous of me and distort the facts
to anger me…”
She grabbed Shirley’s arm as if she was possessed, screaming. “You are lying to me, aren’t you? Tracy
hates you so much. Why would she let you marry Braden again? You must be lying to me. You
must make it clear!”
“Go away!” Shirley lost her patience and pushed Amelie.
Amelie was pushed to the ground.
“Ah, it hurts. My belly.
Blood flowed out from between Amelie’s legs and dyed the soil red…
