Chapter 125 I Won’t Let You Lose Today
Everyone looked at Braden in disbelief.
Almost everyone present knew about the entanglement shared by Braden, Karen, and Cherry.
Many of them were very surprised that Braden would attend the wedding in the first place. And now
they were even more shocked to see him here. They could only exclaim that Braden was tough
enough to deal with any situation.
Braden pursed his thin lips.
He didn’t speak or move at all. It seemed that he didn’t want to do it.
For a moment, the scene froze and was very awkward.
The time was running out, and Keith was a bit anxious. He sighed and said, “Braden, we understand
that it’s a bit too much to ask you to do this…
“But our hands are tied. Cherry said earlier that she felt guilty about you and wanted your blessing. I
guess she is now keeping the door shut because she wants to know your attitude. Can you do us a
favor?”
Karen frowned and said, “Keith, don’t put Braden in a quandary. Anyone else but him can do this.”
“But..”
Keith wanted to say something, and Braden beat him to it indifferently.
“There’s no quandary at all. If you really want me to do it, then I will.”
Braden frowned slightly. Under everyone’s gaze, he gently knocked on the door and said, “Cherry, just
open the door. I’ve already moved on, and I give my blessing to you and Karen sincerely.”
There was finally some movement in the originally silent room.
Cherry said in a soft and slightly guilty voice, “Braden, Karen and I owe you a lot. I have been waiting to
hear this from you for too long. Thank you. Thank you so much…”
Then the door opened slightly.
Seeing that, the men from the groom’s side rushed in at once.
At the same time, those from the bride’s side tried to resist.
The scene was both chaotic and festive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBraden stood at the edge of the crowd with his tall and straight body, silently looking at all the joy
without taking part in it with obvious sadness between his brows.
Shirley also stood at the very edge of the crowd for safety reasons.
She peeked at Braden, feeling distressed when seeing how melancholy he was.
She clicked her tongue silently and thought, how pitiful!
His first girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend, and now that they are getting married, they
are asking him, the one who got hurt the most, to comfort them. I feel sorry for Braden.
I’m sure Braden is very sad right now. Maybe… he never gets over Cherry.
It must break his heart to see the love of his life marrying his friend.
Karen finally saw Cherry, his bride. Everyone urged, “Kiss! Kiss!”
Shirley glanced at Braden secretly again, only to see him frowning deeper.
She figured that such a scene was simply torture for him.
Shirley silently walked to Braden, and then, for some reason, she held Braden’s hand on a whim.
His tall body trembled slightly. He turned to look at her, his expression full of confusion.
Shirley blinked at Braden and lowered her voice, saying, “No need to thank me. I won’t let you lose
today. I’ll return the favor to you. After all, you grabbed my desserts back then.”
Braden was at a loss.
He frowned even more.
He thought, what does she mean?
Noticing his confusion, Shirley tiptoed to whisper in his ear, “I know you still love Cherry, and it upsets
you a lot when watching her marry another man. You frown so deeply. I can’t believe that they want your
blessing. They went too far…”
Only then did Braden realize something, and he pulled a wry face.
He thought, where do you get the idea that I’m upset?
I may look a bit upset earlier, but it was not because of Cherry at all.
I was just regretful that I married you so hastily, and even the ceremony was so perfunctory. We had no
memorable process.
I was even planning for our wedding if one day you and I got back together.
Of course, Braden wouldn’t tell her the truth. He even started to tease her.
Braden pulled a long face. “You are right. I’m so sad. My heart hurts, and I’m so angry. Why are they
Le
bullying me like this? What should I do?”
Shirley felt distressed even more. She stroked his head like she was coaxing a child and said, “Don’t
be sad. Cheer up. If you ask me, I’d say that the best counterattack is to live a happier life than them
and have a relationship that is better than theirs.”
“But I don’t…”
Braden showed a sad expression. “I’m always so unlucky when it comes to relationships. Everyone
knows that you and I are divorced, and you are entangled with Ewan. I humiliate myself so much.
I’m just a joke today.”
“Don’t worry. I told you that I would not let you lose today. After all, you are my ex–husband. If you
don’t look good, I will be embarrassed as well…”
As they were whispering, Cherry was watching them intently.
Although Cherry was smiling and interacting with Karen and playing various games, and they
looked like a sweet couple, she was bitter.
Cherry thought, didn’t they say Braden and Shirley were divorced and they hated each other? Why are
they still so intimate? They are even holding hands at such a moment. I’m so frustrated.
“Braden, don’t just stand there. Karen and I want your blessing the most for our wedding.”
Cherry said to Braden, who was at the edge of the crowd, “It’s time to take photos. I hope the three
of us can have a photo together.”
People’s expressions were a bit meaningful.
They thought, Cherry is indeed something. She can easily make the scene very awkward.
Sure enough, she has been spoiled. She manages such a juggling act with both her ex–boyfriend and
her soon–to–be husband smoothly.
Braden raised his eyebrows and said without much emotion, “Sure.”
Meanwhile, Shirley raised her hand and said, “Can I be a part of it as well? After all, Braden and I are
close. How could such a picture representing happiness be without me?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCherry tightened her fingers, smiled politely, and said with a hint of sharpness, “Ms. Wilson, you have
already divorced Braden. It might not be very appropriate for you to take a photo together,
don’t you think?”
“So what if we are divorced? We are just getting along in a different way. Now we love each other more
than when we were married. Wherever he is, I must be present as well!”
After saying that, Shirley silently raised her chin at Braden.
What she was saying to him was, “See? I’m a great help and a great buddy, aren’t I?”
Cherry pulled an obviously long face. “Braden is special to us, and we have known him long before you,
so I hope the three of us can take a photo for me to remember…”
Braden said coldly, “No need.”
Cherry’s eyes turned red in an instant as she stared into Braden’s eyes. “Braden, you still hate Karen
and me. That’s why you deliberately said these words against your will. You didn’t let go at
all, right?”
Her words made the already awkward scene even more awkward.
Keith was so anxious that he leaned closer to Cherry and persuaded her in a low voice, “Cherry,
there are so many people present. Don’t be like this!”
As the groom, Karen was very calm. There was a meaningful smile on his handsome and refined face.
He said, “Why don’t we all take a photo together? It will be more memorable.”
Hearing Karen’s words, Cherry realized that she had lost control. She clenched her fingers silently and
did not dare to say anything more.
The photographer guided everyone to pose, reminding Karen and Cherry, “The bride and groom should
be more intimate with each other. Get closer! It will be better if you can make it look like are kissing. That
will be more meaningful!”
Unfortunately, Karen and Cherry seemed to have a grudge against each other, and their performance
was unsatisfying.
Suddenly, Braden cupped Shirley’s face and said, “Is it like this…”
Then he kissed her deeply.
