Alina and Howard were very curious about this question. Both of them stared at him intently, waiting for
his answer.
Braden’s expression was indifferent. He did not think too much and said in a neutral tone, “I think it is a
restructuring of assets and cooperation between the strong sides, which makes a perfect match.”
Shirley was slightly stunned. She obviously did not expect Braden to be so honest
Deep in her heart, she felt very sad.
One was a case of failure, and the other was a perfect match. It was a slap in her face!
Alina’s eyes lit up. She was so happy that she was about to faint.
She confirmed with Braden in disbelief, “Braden, is what you said true? Do you really think that we are a
good match?”
Braden did not look at Alina. Instead, he looked at Shirley as if he was provoking her. He sneered, “At
least, compared to my previous failed marriage, we’ve done a good job.”
“Great! Great!”
Alina jumped up and held Braden’s hand. She couldn’t wait to say, “In that case, what are we waiting for?
Let’s go to the Seatle Courthouse to register for our marriage today. We have been in a tacit
understanding for so many years. I will definitely be a good wife!”
“No!”
Shirley blurted out as if she had been possessed.
Everyone looked at her in disbelief, especially Braden.
His deep and cold eyes were filled with complex emotions.
He couldn’t figure it out. This heartless woman didn’t care about him. Why did she interfere with his
relationship?
Alina’s face was very gloomy. She stared at Shirley with hostility and said in a strange tone, “Ms. Wilson,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdon’t you think you’ve gone too far? We want to get married. What has it got to do with you? Do you
have a say?”
Howard patted Alina’s shoulder. He put on a straight face and said, “Alina, be nice to Shirley. If you really
want to marry into the Stewart family, the first thing you need to learn is to be nice to Shirley. If you bully
her, I’ll be mad.”
Alina realized that she was too excited. She immediately stuck out her tongue and said, “Mr. Stewart, I
am sorry. I am so angry. You said that Ms. Wilson and Braden had divorced. According to Braden, she
refused Braden. In this case, why did she say that? Isn’t she over-possessive?”
Howard was helpless in the face of Alina’s complaint. He turned to Shirley and asked kindly. “Shirley, tell
me, why did you object to Braden and Alina’s marriage?

“Could it be that you finally realized that you could not let go of Braden and decided to continue the
relationship with him?”
Shirley was awkward. She quickly explained, “Mr. Stewart, don’t misunderstand me. I don’t want to do
anything to your grandson. It’s just that… I think he shouldn’t get married so quickly. This is a disaster!”
“Oh, how do you explain this?”
“I’ve been through it before. This guy can be a boss, but he doesn’t qualify to be a husband. I’m afraid
that he will hurt Ms. Gilmore’s heart. Ms. Gilmore may turn the Gilmore family and the Stewart family
against each other. Then, the Stewart family will suffer a loss. I said that… for the sake of the Stewart
family!”
Shirley said exaggeratedly, almost crying.
In fact, she was considering Mr. Quintin’s words. If Braden and Alina got married, it would be a stable
family structure. One day, when he competed with her for custody, he would have an advantage over her
Therefore, Braden could get a marriage certificate, but she needed to beat him to the punch.
Alina snorted. “Ms. Wilson, thank you for that. Unfortunately, I am different from you. Braden and I grew
up together. We are good friends. When we are together, we will be in a very harmonious relationship. I
will be a good wife, and he will also be a good husband. We will never turn against each other…
“You may never know what a perfect couple means. But a terrible couple is truly a disaster!”
In the face of Alina’s provoking words, Shirley did not refute too much. Instead, she smiled helplessly.
“You are right. I was worried too much. I should not have broken up a loving couple… Sorry for disturbing
you.”
She did not want to stay any longer. If she continued to stay, she would only bring disgrace to herself.
Instead of stopping Braden and Alina from getting married, she might as well seize the time to get
married to Mr. Quintin.
Anyway, Braden could marry a woman casually Why couldn’t she?
After Shirley left, Alina was even happier and more excited.
“Ms. Wilson finally left. No one can stop us now!”
She looked up at Braden, hugged his arm, and said excitedly. “Let’s go, Braden. Let’s go get the
certificate.”
Braden pulled his arm away. His handsome face was cold and expressionless. “Alright, it’s a joke, and
don’t take it seriously.”
Alina’s expression suddenly changed.
She did not want to accept the cruel reality. She carefully asked him, “Braden, what do you mean? A…
joke?”
“The marriage thing was a joke. Don’t take it seriously.”
Braden’s tone was cold and clear.
“You just said that we were a perfect match.”
“It was also a joke. I thought you could understand me with our tacit understanding.”
“No, I don’t understand!”
Alina clenched her fists. She felt deeply insulted. “Don’t you know that you can’t joke about love or
marriage? When you said it, I would take it seriously. I…”
“You know that you can’t joke about love or marriage. That’s why I think that we can’t just marry because
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwe are a good choice for each other. It is not responsible, and it is also a blasphemy to marriage.”
Braden was very serious.
Although he was cold, he still treated marriage very seriously. He made such a joke to annoy Shirley.
“Hahaha, this is what you call a joke. If you think marrying me is blasphemy to marriage, then what about
you and Ms. Wilson? When you married Ms. Wilson, wasn’t it because of love? You didn’t know each
other before, and you set the wedding date within three days. I grew up with you, but you said it was
blasphemy?”
Alina asked excitedly.
She knew that at this time, she should control herself and continue to stay with him as his good friend.
Even if she couldn’t convince him, she could still stay by his side forever.
However, his words were really hurtful.
She was no worse than Shirley. Why wasn’t she worthy of his love?
“It is precisely because of the previous mistakes that we have to be even more cautious. Our parents are
crazy and try to make up the match. We can’t be crazy like them.”
Braden said mercilessly.
“Why do you have so many excuses? I think you just can’t let go of Shirley, so you stay single.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t feel the same way. You have been rejected by her, but you are still so
obsessed. I really look down. on you!”
Alina closed her eyes in humiliation.
After venting her anger, she picked up her bag and left without looking back.
She thought, Shirley, good for you. But I won’t admit defeat so easily. I’m not done with this!
Howard witnessed everything and said nothing.
He patted Braden on the shoulder and said, “Kid, it’s so awkward. I feel tired.”
Howard noticed the small tomatoes on the coffee table and ordered Braden, “Send these to a place.”
“It’s just a small matter. Can you just send a servant to do it?”
“That won’t do. It has to be you.”
