Chapter 175 What If I Am the Man?
“Really?”
Braden looked at Keith with his cold and dark eyes lit up by hope suddenly.
“My men told me that they saw Shirley in the antique market at Sutor Wharf. This is the picture they
sent.”
Keith quickly turned on his phone and showed a photo to Braden.
The picture showed only the side of a woman’s face. It was perfect from the bridge of her nose to the
jawline, which was identical to that of Shirley.
What was more, she was wearing the same white gauze dress that Shirley had worn before.
A single blurry photo with a woman’s side profile was enough to ignite all of Braden’s enthusiasm and
hope.
Without the slightest hesitation, he stood up straight and said coldly, “Let’s go take a look.”
Braden and Keith took a car to Sutor Wharf, while Karen stayed at the Stewart’s house in case of any
unexpected situations.
Braden had been clutching a notebook tightly all the way. Seeing that, Keith was a bit curious. “Braden,
is this notebook of yours some kind of confidential document? Why have you been holding. on to it?”
“No.”
Braden’s voice was cold. He looked out the window and didn’t want to explain too much.
Unfortunately, Keith wouldn’t leave him alone. He continued, “If not, then what is it? Why are you so
nervous? Can I take a look?”
He tried to grab it but then gave up, intimidated by Braden’s cold gaze
“It looks like something belonging to a girl. It has a lock, yet you broke it…”
Keith went on and on, analyzing. Then he suddenly realized something. “I got it. It’s a diary, right?
Is it Shirley’s?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Gosh! Braden, I can’t believe you read Shirley’s diary behind her back. How lame is that? Do you have
any idea that violating others‘ privacy is against the law? You always strike me as a
straightforward and upright person. I never thought you were capable of such sleazy things. Sure
enough, you loved her so much you lost your mind.”
“Shut up!”
Braden frowned unhappily, having the urge to sew Keith’s mouth shut.
Keith continued, “Stop doing such a lame thing alone. What do you say I join you? I want to be in
cahoots with you. In such a way, after we find Shirley, I can cover for you.”
“It’s not a diary.”
Braden said coldly, “Countless people have read it already, and I don’t need you to cover for me. ”
“If it’s not a confidential document or a diary, then what could it be?”
Keith couldn’t be more curious. He begged Braden ceaselessly, “Braden, please, let me take a look. If
others can see it, why can’t I? Good stuff should be shared with good friends, right? Let me take a
look!”
“Do you really want to take a look?” Braden turned to Keith.
“Yes!”
“Then promise me one thing”
“What is it?”
“Read it first.”
Braden said as he handed the notebook to Keith.
Keith grabbed it and quickly flipped through it.
‘Damn! What a scumbag! The male lead is so hateful! Is he nuts or what? He should drop dead!”
“Hey! How adorable! They have a baby.”
“They kiss! They kiss! Finally!”
Keith looked intently at the , deeply immersed in the story.
He was sometimes happy, sad, angry, and childish.
His mood changed dramatically, and he behaved just the same as when Braden was reading.
“Has it finished already?”
Keith flipped through the notebook several times. Then he snapped and roared, “There’s going to be an
erotic plot soon, and that’s it? No more? Who wrote it? I’ll kill the writer!”
Braden unconsciously moved to the side, afraid of being implicated and injured.
Keith read the contents of the notebook many times before realizing something and asking, “Braden, it’s
not you and Shirley, is it?”
“What do you think?” Braden rolled his eyes at Keith coldly.
“Well. Did Shirley write it? Is the content in the true?”
“Half of it is true.”
Braden said calmly.
The specific events in the weren’t real, but the state of marriage described as well as the way the
male lead and the female lead interacted were almost the same as him and Shirley.
Keith revealed a stunning expression. He held the notebook as if he was holding a rare treasure and said
carefully, “Who knows? Shirley is such an outstanding writer She is good at beating people up, and her
writing is so moving. I’m so touched.”
Braden raised his eyebrows as if he was the one getting praised. He said somewhat smugly, “I told you
already. She was a straight–A student who was good at pretty much all sorts of things.”
“Impressive! So impressive!”
Keith sighed with emotion, “Braden, you shouldn’t have divorced her I feel sorry for you. Letting her go is
like letting a fat lamb back in the pack. You are giving a chance to those men who are lurking in the dark,
craving for her.”
Braden sneered, “That depends. Do you think this fat lamb is easy to tame?”
“From what you’re saying, as long as a man can tame her, you’re willing to give her up?”

“Then what if I am the man?”
Keith smiled, half–joking and half–probing.
“Are you serious?”
Braden’s eyes turned cold. He looked at Keith sharply and asked, “How come I don’t know that she
is your type?
“Why can’t she be my type?”
Keith said emotionally, “She is always my type. I have a thing for brave, free straight A students. After
Shirley divorced you, I realized that she was my type. Besides she saved my life. After thinking about it, I
figured that I could only repay her with myself.”
Braden remained silent and pursed his thin lips.
His already cold and handsome face was now extremely terrifying.
“Braden, say something. Yes or no? If I have your permission, I’ll put it into action. If you still have
feelings for her and want to rekindle the love between you two, then I’ll stop and get rid of any feelings I
shouldn’t have ”
Keith looked very serious, and he had no intention of joking at all.
He knew that Shirley used to be Braden’s wife Yet in his opinion, it was OK for him to woo Shirley,
provided that Braden had already let go.
Braden pulled a long face, and it looked like he was about to kill Keith at any moment. Yet he still
maintained a cold look and snorted, “Do as you pleased. You have my blessing if you are capable
enough to make her yours.”
“Your words. Don’t you forget about that! Let me record what you’ve said.”
Keith quickly took out his phone and urged Braden to repeat himself.
Braden slapped Keith’s phone away and said coldly, “Are you done? Is it supposed to be funny?”
Keith stopped teasing and said word by word with a look more serious than ever, “I said, I am
serious.”
Keith and Braden had been friends for years, and they never had a fallout. What was more, Keith had
always worshipped Braden as his idol.
Yet this time, neither of them backed down. The air was filled with tension…..
