Chapter 414 There Were Cracks Anyway
"Alright, let's have a drink. It's been a long time since I drink heartily with someone!"
Shirley felt that she and Ida were quite fated. The two of them hit it off and went to a bar street at Sutor
Wharf. They randomly chose a small bar and ordered two beers. Then, they began to drink.
The lights in the bar were charming. On the stage, there was a man with long hair playing the guitar
and singing a folk song with a beautiful melody. The entire atmosphere was very different from the area
of Sutor Wharf where regulations didn't reach. It made people comfortable.
"Ida, how long have you known Mr. Quintin? You seem to have feelings for him."
Shirley drank half a bottle of beer quietly. The tingling feeling made her particularly awake and even a
little excited. So she started to be interested in the gossip.
"There isn't such a woman who doesn't have feelings for Mr. Quintin. It's just that I am self-aware. It is
my great fortune to be his assistant. I must have done a lot of great things in my last life!
Ida also relaxed a lot. She also drank half a bottle happily, without concealing her admiration for Mr.
Quintin.
"Great. I like to make friends with people like you. You are honest. From now on, we are good friends."
Shirley touched Ida's beer bottle, unable to hide the good impression of Ida in her expression.
In fact, she did not have many friends other than Nancy.
Ida and she were both single mothers. After chatting, they found that many of their ideas were very
similar. Some sadness and helplessness of taking care of a child alone were very resonating.
"In other words, you had already decided to marry Mr. Quintin. But in the end, the person you married
was the one who hurt you the most?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnder the dim light, Shirley clinked bottles with Ida one after another. Shirley told Ida most of the things
about her, Mr. Quintin, and Braden.
They both found it hard to understand.
"'Mr. Quintin isn't the kind of person who goes back on his word, nor is he the kind of despicable
person. I guess... it must be your scum ex-husband who used some underhanded means to interfere.
He forced Mr. Quintin to give up!"
Ida was filled with indignation.
"I think so too, so I shouted like a madman, hoping that Mr. Quintin could give me an answer. I really
can't help but think about that when he suddenly disappears like this."
Shirley closed her eyes and said painfully.
"In fact, I think that since things have come to this, you might as well treat Mr. Quintin as a non-existent
person. He will guide you and your ex-husband to get back together. Then you can live peacefully with
your ex-husband now. After all, your ex-husband is the biological father of the child. No matter how
good an outsider is, they cannot be better than the biological father. Don't be too stubborn for the sake
of the child."
Ida stood from an outsider's point of view and sincerely advised Shirley.
"Everyone thinks that for the sake of the child, I should get back together with that guy. In fact, I have
thought about it myself. For the sake of the child, I should get back together with that guy. But that
means I will be entangled with him for the rest of my life. Think about it... To play the so- called 'sweet
couple' with someone who has hurt you and run the so-called 'happy family'. Don't you feel disgusted?"
"I can understand because my man is also a scum. In order to be with the mistress, he abandoned me
and my son. My son was seriously ill, but he did not care about it. He was busy being happy with the
mistress and busy celebrating the birthday of his new son..."
Ida recalled her painful past. She gritted her teeth tightly and said with hatred in her eyes, "Sometimes I
really can't understand why bad people are so carefree and leave good people trapped in the mire. But
if you tell me that he turned back and wanted to marry me again, I would only spit on his face and let
him scram as far away as possible!"
"Right, you can understand that feeling. No matter how we get back together, there will always be
cracks..."
Shirley's beautiful eyes became misty. She raised her head, trying not to have her tears fall.
After so many years, if she still cried for that guy, it would be too shameful!
"To tell you the truth, I have been emotionally exhausted for a long time. I don't want to get married, I
don't want to fall in love, I don't want to have any emotional links with any man, and I firmly believe that
my life will always be far from marriage until I met Mr. Quintin. I felt for the first time that maybe
marriage can also be beautiful..."
Shirley recalled the short interaction between her and Mr. Quintin.
Although it was more like a farce led by the children in the beginning, and she had never been in love.
However, every minute she spent with him, she felt extremely happy and peaceful. This was something
that other men could not give her.
Therefore, she really did not want to make a mistake again!
"Yes, Mr. Quintin is a very charismatic man. Although his reputation was not good in the past, I always
felt that his bad deeds must have difficulties.
Four years ago, he lost to Mr. Braden, and was disfigured by Mr. Braden. I feel even more that he is a
victim. This kind of man with great love in his heart is indeed more suitable for marriage than Mr.
Braden."
Ida knew Mr. Quintin earlier than Shirley. She told Shirley many things about Mr. Quintin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Everyone says that 'Crimson Pawnshop' is a big demon cave. Everything can be recorded there, even
human lives. There is no moral bottom line to speak of, and Mr. Quintin is the infamous 'Midnight
Ghost'. His hands are stained with blood for the sake of benefits. However, ever since I entered the
'Crimson Pawnshop', I have never seen Mr. Quintin do anything bad. Instead, he helped many people
who are in deep trouble like me...
"I remember that one night, there was a baby crying in the yard. We were all very afraid and thought
that it was the legendary 'Midnight Ghost' eating children. But the fact was... Do you know what he was
doing?"
"What?"
"He was helping a female cat give birth. Can you imagine such a scene? He was such a tall and
straight man, squatting in the dark yard, cheering for the cat. He was scratched by the cat, causing him
to cry out in pain. In the end, the version that was spread was that he was too excited about eating
children, so he cried out... This outrageous thing was laughed at by us for an entire year!
"It is hard to imagine the scene he helped the cat give birth!"
Shirley couldn't help but laugh.
The more the two drank, the more they enjoyed themselves. In the end, Shirley got drunk. But because
of her complicated past experiences, Ida was sober and could still drink.
"Ms. Wilson, you are drunk. Let's go back!"
She was worried that Shirley would not be able to walk, so Ida advised Shirley not to drink anymore.
"Why should we go back? Let's drink until dawn... Please get us two more beers!"
Shirley staggered as she pressed Ida to let her sit down. She couldn't even say it clearly, "Come,
continue to tell me about Mr. Quintin. I found that guy a comedian. It's too funny!"
"This..."
Ida was in a dilemma when she found that Shirley had a phone call.
