Chapter 347 A Fiery Temper
“This…”
The woman hesitated to speak as if she had something difficult to say.
“If you have any difficulties, just say it directly. I will bear the consequences for you. If you insist on
protecting the evildoers, then I won’t help you!”
Shirley looked a little angry, and she only felt that the poor people must have something hateful.
It was because of their cowardice that the evildoers were so rampant. Anyway, being evil didn’t need any
price.
“No, you misunderstood me. I don’t want to cover up the evildoers. I just…”
The woman took a deep breath and mustered up her courage. “In order not to let you misunderstand Mr.
Quintin, let me tell you the truth. I am a single mother, and I have to take care of my child alone. My life is
very hard. I once couldn’t even afford to eat, so I had to go to the nightclub to work. That place is full of
good and bad people. I unwittingly got involved in that!
“Once, I was fooled by a guest. It was Mr. Quintin and Irving who saved me. They offered me a job and
let me live a normal life. However, I was already addicted to it. Other than raising my son, I sometimes
went to buy that, so I often couldn’t make ends meet. Later on, I became muddle-headed. I stole
treasures from Crimson
Pawnshop and sold them. Coincidentally, you saw it again…”
“I know this. Weren’t you punished by Crimson Pawnshop later? They imprisoned you because of this?”
When Shirley heard the woman’s words, she was extremely shocked.
This was really a pitiful woman. It was already very difficult for her to bring a child alone, but she became
an addict. Wasn’t that a destructive hit to her?
“No!”
The woman denied it. “Mr. Quintin is soft-hearted. He said that if I were punished, my son would be
motherless. He let me go. As for the imprisonment… I asked for it myself.”
“You asked for it yourself?”
“Yes!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe woman nodded heavily. Her eyes were red, and she said in pain, “I want to quit it. I can only lock
myself up. I have been restraining myself for so many days. I can quit it if I work a little harder.
“During this period, Mr. Quintin has sent someone to take care of my child. I really felt thankful for him.
Mr Quintin is the best person I have ever seen. He is not like what the rumors go, so I won’t low anyone
to slander him!”
After she finished speaking, she knelt directly in front of Mr Quintin and said in a firm voice, “Mr. Quintin, I
cannot repay your kindness if it is possible, I am willing to protect you with my life!
Mr. Quintin was like a high and mighty king. He looked at the woman kneeling in front of him
expressionlessly and said coldly and indifferently, “I don’t need you to protect me. You just need to
protect yourself and your child.”
“Thank you, Mr. Quintin. Don’t worry. I won’t let you down. If I fail this time, I won’t let myself out!”
After bowing three times to Shirley, Ida went straight back to the small dark room and closed the door
tightly.
Shirley stood where she was, looking at the tightly closed door.
She had never thought that things would turn out this way.
Irving sighed, a little angry and a little disappointed as he looked at her, showing his dissatisfaction. “Ms.
Wilson, I always thought that you have already treated me and Mr. Quintin as friends. After all, Mr.
Quintin is really good to your two children and is very concerned about you. These days, he has been in
the kitchen improving his cooking skills. He wants to make delicious food for you and the children….
“In the end, not only are you not grateful, you even think so badly of him. Can there be a bit of trust
between people?”
Shirley knew that she was in the wrong and lowered her head awkwardly. “I’m sorry. After all, your
reputation is really not good.”
“You would rather listen to rumors outside than believe what you really saw. Do you think that when Mr.
Quintin got along with you, he made you think that he was a bad person? Then tell me, how did he harm
you?
Don’t you think that you…”
“Irving, shut up!”
Mr. Quintin coldly interrupted Irving’s grumbling.
He put his hands in his pockets and said coldly. “I’m not a good person, to begin with. There’s no need to
flatter me so much. It’s just that… I don’t have any bad intentions toward Bennett and Alisha. I just want
the two children to be happy.”
Mr. Quintin’s words moved Shirley a little.
In this world, other than May, Ewan, and Nancy, who else could really be good to Bennett and Alisha?
His love moved her.
‘Mommy, look. I didn’t lie to you. Quintin is really a good man. Don’t be on guard against him. Try to get
along with him. Let himn protect you and take care of you.”
Bennett’s warm little hands pulled Shirley and Mr. Quintin’s hands.
“Mommy, Quintin has been busy all night. Do you know what he has been busy with?”
Alisha asked Shirley softly
The woman’s eyes were slightly red, and she said with a choked voice, “What has he been busy with?”
“You’ll know when you come with us!”
Alisha was very mysterious. She pulled Shirley to the viewing platform on the second floor of Crimson
Pawnshop.
This viewing platform was built next to the sea on which three countries bordered, and the scenery was
very beautiful.
They went up to the viewing platform in turn. The rooftop was dark, and only the stars could be seen
clearly. They were shining in the vast night sky, very beautiful.
“Ally, why did you bring me here?”
Shirley looked at the stars in the sky and was very puzzled.
Alisha smiled mysteriously. “Mommy, do you know what day it is today?”
“What day? Weekend?”
Shirley was confused.
Too many things had happened recently, and she did not pay much attention to the date.
“Today is August 9th, your birthday!”
Alisha smiled sweetly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Today is August 9th?”
Only then did Shirley come to a realization.
So today was really her birthday.
“Mommy, look behind you!”
Shirley followed Alisha’s finger and turned around. She saw that Irving was wheeling a three-layered
cake walking towards her step by step.
The shape of the cake was very beautiful. It was the shape of a little lion, and there were fireworks rods
flashing. It was beautiful and romantic.
Mr. Quintin, who was next to her, said in a neutral tone, “I heard from the children that today is your
birthday, so I called them over and made this cake for you. A Leo born in August is indeed hot-tempered
if I had appeared a little later, I would have been sent to the police station by you.”
Shirley scratched her hair and felt embarrassed. I’m sorry. I really didn’t expect you to be so considerate
“As expected”
Mr Quintin said half jokingly, half-seriously, “A Leo is famous for its stubbornness”
Words failed Shirley
Who could tell her why Midnight Chost was talking about constellations with her in all seriousness
Sure enough, one should not judge a book by its cover.
At the same time, gorgeous fireworks began to bloom in the night sky, and the image of a lion statue
appeared in all directions.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful. The fireworks are specially made for Mommy by Quintin. It’s too romantic!”
Alisha looked up at the fireworks in the night sky and shouted in a childish voice.
Bennett, like an adult, gave Mr. Quintin a thumbs up.
It seemed that Quintin was very considerate. Bennett said that Shirley enjoyed being romantic, so he set
off the fireworks. His extraordinary comprehension ability was enough to get the children’s like.
“So beautiful!”
Shirley’s bright eyes were filled with light. Looking at the cluster of fireworks, she was completely
immersed in this romantic atmosphere.
She did not notice that Mr. Quintin was slowly approaching her and whispered in her ear, “Are you ready
to accept my punishment?”
