When She Unveils Identities

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?”

Cherry 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.
