Chapter 288 Will I Get Married Again?
At 1 o&rsqu o;clock in the morning, when it was supposed to be quiet, the Sutor Wharf was at its busiest
and most prosperous time. Various people came out and gathered here.
Shirley came to the Sutor Wharf alone, holding a top-secret map of the Sutor Wharf that was bought at a
high price in the second-hand market, and headed to the location of the Crimson Pawnshop.
This Sutor Wharf was indeed worthy of its reputation. It was just an “ungoverned zone”, where people
could literally do anything that was even forbidden and illegal in normal society. It was really an amazing
but
dangerous place.
The area of the Sutor Wharf was actually not very big, divided into three areas, the upper area, the
middle
area, and the lower area.
The upper area was at the outermost edge, which was relatively normal. It was a trading center for
various
goods. If one carefully searched, he could find a lot of good things. It was also the safest area here.
There was a bit of danger in the middle area. There were all kinds of illegal casinos, illegal arenas, illegal
brothels, and the distribution of illegal goods. A group of people who were not afraid of death gathered
here.
They were all wild about taking shortcuts, and as long as they could get the money, they would do
anything. There were people who died here every day.
The lower area was really like the real hell on earth. It was very dangerous. Normal people would not
dare to go near it. Just as Ewan said, anyone who went there would probably die.
The Crimson Pawnshop was located in the lower area of the Sutor Wharf. It was an absolute lead
position. It was easy to imagine how powerful the owner of the pawnshop, Mr. Quintin, was. It was very
difficult to meet him!
If not for the fact that Shirley was in a hurry to get money, she would never want to have anything to do
with such a dangerous person.
However, she was not afraid.
After all, back then, she was also a famous big shot before. She had experienced many more bloody
scenes and had been to many places that were more dangerous than the Sutor Wharf. She could be
considered an experienced woman to deal with such a situation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was only because she had kids now that she would be more cautious most of the time. She was not
like how she was back then, who was just hot-blooded and did everything without caring about the
consequences. Thinking about it now, she felt scared!
It was still early. Shirley parked the car in a parking lot in the upper area and was ready to go to the
famous antique market first.
This antique market was located in the upper area of the Sutor Wharf, which was also the entrance of
the Sutor Wharf. Because of the special geographical location, many rare treasures from all over the
world were smuggled here to sell. Countiess people became rich here, and countless people ended their
lives here because of greed.
The antique market was brightly lit, and it was bustling with noise and excitement. The crowd was
bustling, and the market was packed solid with people.
“Come, take a look. This is the best Indian glass bottle. There is only one in the world. What you buy is
what
you earn…”
“Come and have a look. It is an authentic Heaven Pearl of the Western Region. It’s been blessed, only
for
fated people!”
Shirley walked among the crowd and looked at all kinds of treasures. She was dazzled and
overwhelmed.
Why didn’t she know before that there was such a good place in Seatle City? It was simply a treasured
place. She could buy anything she wanted.
Shirley came to a stall. The stall owner was a white-bearded old man with dark skin. He was leisurely
playing
an instrument.
This stall was very simple and low-key compared to other stalls. There was only a piece of rough cloth,
with some jades, ancient paintings, ceramics, and other things on it. It seemed that they were all dug out
from the
old graves.
The most special thing was that there was a bamboo tube next to these treasures, and there were
dozens of bamboo sticks in the bamboo tube.
For some reason, Shirley was interested and asked, “Sir, can you really tell my fortune with those
sticks?”
Kole did not even open his eyes and just single-mindedly played his instrument. The song he played
sounded a little familiar, and its name seemed to be called “Fate”.
Shirley saw that the old man was playing the instrument seriously, so she did not disturb him and
prepared
to leave.
At this time, Kole finally finished playing the instrument. He said slowly, “Miss, please wait. I have waited
for so many years and finally met a fated person like you.”
“A fated person? Me?”
Shirley became even more interested. She smiled and said, “Do you know me?”
“Kind of.”
“Then tell me, who am I?”
Shirley calmly waited for Kole’s answer, with a teasing smile.
She had heard before that some swindlers would use this kind of trick to deceive people to tell their
fortunes. In fact, it was just a trick.
Therefore, she did not believe that Kole could really guess her name.
“You are from the North City, and your grandmother is Jaida Hertford, right?”
Kole raised his eyebrows and said with a strange smile.
Shirley’s smiling face suddenly became serious, and she asked, “How did you know that?”
If he only knew her name, she could still think that he was an old man who liked to pay attention to
entertainment gossip. Her status as Mrs. Stewart from the Stewart family was also somewhat well-
known.
However, Kole actually knew that her grandmother was Jaida. This surprised her a lot.
Because the Wilson family had almost never announced to the public that the woman her grandfather
married back then was Jaida from the North City!
“It seems that I was right.”
Kole stroked his white beard and continued, “Do you believe in my skills now?”
“If you really did figure it out by yourself, then you are really a great fortune-teller!”
Shirley said with admiration.
“If you trust me, why don’t you pick a stick from the bamboo tube and ask about the thing you’re worried
about now.”
Kole looked at the bamboo tube and suggested it to Shirley.
“Alright, that’s exactly what I want.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShirley readily picked up the bamboo tube, shook it for a long time, and shook out a stick.
Kole took the stick, looked at it, and said, “It’s the fifty-ninth stick. It seems that you’ll have good luck
today Now tell me what you want to ask?”
1..”
Shirley bit her lips and hesitated for a moment. “I want to ask, will I get married again in the future?”
When she asked this question, she felt a little embarrassed.
After all, it was not in line with her personality.
But she really wanted to know if she would fall in love with another man in the future or start another
marriage.
It was impossible for her to never meet someone else for the rest of her life. Braden was already dead,
so there was no need for her to remain a widow until she died, right?
“Mountains and waters part you away from the right person. But across hills and rivers, you will meet him
again. It is indeed a good marriage that is one in a million!”
Kole said and revealed a meaningful smile.
Shirley was confused “What do you mean?”
“What I mean is that your marriage is long and unique. You don’t have to worry that you will be lonely for
the
rest of your life.”
Kole’s words amused Shirley. “In other words, I will meet the one who will spend the rest of my life with
me,
right?”
“You can also think of it that way.”
“Great!”
Shirley immediately felt a lot more at ease.
As a woman who lived in a modern society, Shirley didn’t have to remain a widow for Braden. She
couldn’t possibly only fall in love with him, Braden, for the rest of her life.
Even now, she still couldn’t forget him, but one day, a man would appear and make her fall in love with
him,
make her move on….
Shirley looked at her watch and was ready to do her own business. After paying the bill, she was about
to
leave.
Kole stopped her. “Miss, it’s destiny to meet you. I will give you something.”
