Chapter 128 I Lose
“No.”
Braden answered simply, his tone cold and distant.
“That’s impossible!”
Cherry immediately broke down, tears rolling down her cheek like beads.
She
put her arms around Braden’s neck tightly and pressed her face against his just like before,
trying to rekindle his tenderness.
“You don’t want to hurt Karen, so you have been suppressing your love for me. You love me the
same way I love you. You never get over me. Right?”
“It has nothing to do with Karen.”
Braden’s eyes became colder. He coldly pulled Cherry’s hands away from his neck and said, “Even if
you and Karen weren’t together, you and I would still be impossible. I hope you can be rational.”
“Why?”
Cherry looked at Braden painfully. She could not accept the fact that he did not love her anymore.
She cried and said, “You used to love me so much. I still remember how you confessed your love to
me under the cherry blossom tree and kissed me. I know that your feelings were real. For me, you
were even willing to give up the inheritance of the Stewart family and go abroad to study with me. How
on earth can you let go of such deep affection?”
“I admit that I used to be very infatuated with you, and the love I had for you was real. But that’s all in the
past, and both you and I should cherish what we have now.”
Braden said meaningfully.
He had indeed deeply loved Cherry in the past. Even in the few years when he married Shirley, he
had mistakenly thought that he still loved Cherry.
Later, he divorced Shirley and regained his freedom. Only then did he suddenly realize that the one
he could not let go of was not Cherry. What he could not let go of was his sincerity when facing
Cherry and his pure love for her.
Cherry sneered, “Cherish what we have now? Who is that?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith tears on her cheeks, Cherry smiled self–mockingly, “Perhaps you don’t know how hypocritical Karen
is. In fact, he doesn’t love me at all. He chooses me simply because I am suitable to be his wife given my
background. His family is in politics, so he needs an educated woman from a scholarly family… Believe it
or not, he will be relieved if I run away from the wedding today.”
Braden frowned.
He had never realized that there was something wrong with Karen and Cherry. He thought they had
always been a loving couple these years.
“Karen is a rational man. Compared with saying it out loud, he is more used to conveying his love
via action. He may not say a lot, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about you…”
Braden didn’t want Cherry to be upset a lot. He gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, “Don’t
think too much. Karen loves you very much.”
“Stop trying to comfort me. You have no idea…”
Cherry took a deep breath and said with a bitter expression, “So, you refused to start over with me,
because you had already found the right one, am I right?”
Braden pursed his thin lips.
He did not say a word.
He thought, have I found the right one I want to cherish?
I’m not sure.
The one that instinctively emerges in my mind is Shirley.
But things between us have already come to an end…
“I see. I lost.”
Cherry revealed a relieved smile, reluctantly looking at Braden. She said, “Ms. Wilson is very
outstanding, and I can tell that she loves you a lot. I give you my blessing, and I am sincerely convinced
of losing to her.
“Alright then. I’m fine now. You may go out. If you and I stay here any longer, we’ll never be able to
explain ourselves.”
“Are you sure you’re OK?”
“Yes.”
“Then the wedding…”
“The wedding will proceed.”
Cherry shrugged and smiled, “I’m not a kid anymore. I have vented, and now my life goes on. Karen may
not love me, but he is good to me. I am already luckier than many girls. I will cherish the life I
have.”
“I’m glad to hear that.”
Braden nodded, opened the door, and walked out with Cherry.
Coincidentally, they bumped into Shirley, who was holding a cupcake.
“Well…”
Braden and Shirley looked at each other.
Braden and Cherry were the sneaky ones, yet Shirley was embarrassed.
“Well… Am I intruding?”
Shirley asked very humbly.
Braden didn’t say anything.
He simply looked down at her with a condescending attitude and aloof eyes.
Shirley asked cheekily, “Did it work? Did ‘Ocean Heart‘ work? Are you plotting to run away?”
Braden’s expression was even colder. He turned to Cherry and said something to her. Then he bypassed
Shirley and left.
During the whole time, he acted as if he didn’t know Shirley at all. He was extremely arrogant.
“What a stingy man! I did nothing but rip you off a bit! Stop putting on airs!”
Shirley looked at his indifferent back and couldn’t help but curse.
She was so sleepy, so she wanted to find a place to take a nap. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Braden
and Cherry, who were secretly together.
She pretended that she didn’t care and constantly urged Braden to get Cherry back. However, seeing
that he did do so, she was still upset.
Shirley was about to go somewhere else to sleep, yet Cherry stopped her.
“Ms. Wilson, can I talk to you?”
“I don’t think you and I have a lot to talk about.”
Shirley refused Cherry.
Shirley thought, Cherry is the love of Braden’s life. What can she possibly say to me? I’m just Braden’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmex–wife. Is she trying to be condescending here? Well, I’m not giving her a chance!
“Don’t worry, Ms. Wilson. I won’t keep you long. After I talk to you, I can let go. I hope you can allow that
to happen. Do me a favor, will you?”
“Well.
Cherry sounded sincere. Therefore, Shirley could not bear to refuse her. Shirley said, “Then go ahead.
I’m listening”
“Nothing important, really. It’s just that… I have just found out that you mean so much to Braden. I hope
you can take good care of him…”
Cherry said with a sad expression, “Nothing will ever happen between him and me from now on, but I
hope he can be happy. He is a very emotional man. Once he falls for someone, he will love her
forever. Back then…”
Cherry went on for more than ten minutes about how Braden had loved her and had given up everything
for her while Shirley listened.
“If you ever have sex with Braden, you will know that there’s a scar on his waist. He got it when he was
protecting me back then. Because of his kindness, I will never forget him for the rest of my life.
I…‘
“Alright, that’s enough. I’m a bit sleepy…”
Shirley interrupted Cherry’s nagging and smiled, “If you have such a strong desire to tell your stories, you
might as well put them into a book. You can probably earn quite a lot from it.”
“Ms. Wilson, are you jealous?”
Cherry smiled.
That was what she wanted to see.
“This is the necklace symbolizing the token of affection between Braden and me, and I have been
wearing it all the time. It’s yours now. You may take it or toss it away. It’s up to you. It means that
Braden and I are now over forever.”
Cherry said and insisted on stuffing the necklace into Shirley’s arms.
Of course, Shirley didn’t want it. The two pushed back and forth like they were wrestling, and Cherry
even fell to the ground. The scene was very intense.
And someone with bad intentions happened to take a photo of them…
