Chapter 371 Braden’s Confession Doesn’t Work
Braden’s words alerted Shirley more.
Did he discover something?
However, since Braden didn’t make himself clear, she didn’t want to ask.
When Shirley saw that Braden was about to leave, her gaze fell on the box with the Seven-colored
Glazed Cup.
“Wait a minute.”
Braden stopped. His handsome face was filled with anticipation, but he still maintained his proud look.
He turned back. “What, have you changed your mind?”
Shirley rolled her eyes. This guy is narcissistic!
“You’re overthinking. I just want you to take this away. I don’t need it anymore.”
Shirley coldly pushed the box to Braden.
Braden’s eyes turned cold. He looked terrifying. “What do you mean that you don’t need it?”
“To be exact, I don’t want to owe you a favor. It seems to be quite valuable. If I accept it, things will be
even more complicated between us.”
Shirley crossed her arms, her expression cold to the extreme.
On one hand, she did owe Braden a favor.
More importantly, she knew that the Seven-colored Glazed Cup was very important to the Stewart family
or Braden. If she took it away, it would sadly bring trouble to the Stewart family or Braden.
However, Shirley didn’t want Braden to find out that she rejected Seven-colored Glazed Cup because of
her worry about him. Shirley would rather that Braden treated her as a cold and heartless woman.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs expected, her words were like a fire that burned away all of Braden’s rationality.
Braden grabbed Shirley’s wrist and pulled her into his arms. His deep eyes were like those of a beast as
he stared fiercely at Shirley. Braden acted as if he wanted to devour her.
“Shirley, am I so disgusting that you would rather suffer than have any relationship with me?”
Braden asked in a cold and dangerous voice.
Shirley wasn’t afraid. She remained calm and looked at Braden expressionlessly. Then she sneered. “I
don’t want to have anything to do with you. Isn’t it exactly what you want? What’s the point of going crazy
here?”
“Does Mr. Stewart still have feelings for me?”
Shirley wanted to dumbfound Braden.
After all, Braden was a proud and arrogant man. How could he be willing to be the vulnerable one in a
relationship?
Shirley thought that Braden would go crazy or use even more cruel words to refute her, but… Braden’s
reaction had caught her off guard.
“Yes, I still have any feelings for you. I just want to be entangled with you and never leave you. So what?”
“You…”
Shirley was shocked.
“Shirley, do you think I am just bored when I try to be with you time and time again?
“Do you think you are the only one who would put your arms on the window and peek at your beloved
man with binoculars? I did the same during the nights when you worked overtime all night, when you
sleepily yawned, when you lay on the deck chair and drank coffee, and when you danced to music… If
you turned back once, you would see how gentle my eyes were!
“I confess. I have been shutting myself up for more than four years. I swore to never fall in love with you.
again. But when you appeared, I failed instantly. You are amazing. You can easily control my emotions.
Have you ever thought about me?”
Braden’s tone was fierce, and his handsome face was extremely sullen. He said the humblest words with
the most arrogant attitude.
Shirley never expected that things would go this way.
Wasn’t Braden the proudest, most indifferent, and most heartless person? How could he have so many
thoughts?
“Braden, you… Are you kidding? Did you drink alcohol and talk nonsense?”
She had seen how bad this guy’s alcohol tolerance was. It was possible that Braden was drunk.
Anyway, Shirley didn’t believe that Braden would have such deep feelings for her. After all, they had such
an unpleasant time together before, and Shirley had seen Braden in his most cold and ruthless
appearance.
Shirley’s question was like a basin of cold water that instantly extinguished all of Braden’s enthusiasm. It
brought him back to his senses.
His gaze slowly turned from desirous to serious. Finally, Braden coldly released Shirley’s hand. “Shirley,
is your heart made of stone? You really are the coldest and most unromantic woman I’ve ever seen!”
“Stop kidding me. Are you describing yourself…?”
“It doesn’t matter!”
Braden coldly interrupted Shirley. He didn’t want to say more.
After all, Braden was the powerful president of the Stewart Group. He had always been the role who
rejected others. Never had he been rejected.
Braden showed such humbleness, but all he got was doubt and ridicule. He felt that his dignity was

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBraden would not let himself suffer this kind of humiliation again.
Seeing that Braden was about to leave, Shirley quickly grabbed his arm. “Take this away!”
Braden got rid of Shirley’s hand and said coldly, “Do whatever you want with it.”
Braden walked out of the office and found a bunch of employees outside.
They must have heard all of his conversation with Shirley.
Braden threatened with a cold face, “Whoever dares to spread the news of what happened inside will
face severe punishment!”
All the employees lowered their heads and trembled, not daring to say a word.
After Braden left, Renee timidly entered the office.
Shirley was sitting in front of the computer, immersed in her work, as if she was not affected at all.
For her, Braden’s drama was just an episode that wouldn’t affect her mood.
“Ms. Wilson, you… Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Shirley raised her head and said to Renee with a stern expression. “I finally know why you guys were so
weird. You prevented me from drinking coffee or working overtime because you thought I’m pregnant?”
“Isn’t that so? Are you not pregnant with Mr. Stewart’s child?”
Shirley slammed the document on the table. Her beautiful face became sullen and furious. “How can you
be so silly? An assistant like you is not suitable to work for me. Go to the HR. You are fired.”
Renee was a bit flustered, but she knew that it was only a matter of time. She had no complaints but
some regret.
“Ms. Wilson, I can accept being fired, but I hope that you can bravely face your true thoughts.
Sometimes, the more you resist, the more you hide your true self. If you don’t have any feelings for Mr.
Stewart, you don’t need to use such drastic words to express your attitude.”
Shirley didn’t know what to say.
She pursed her lips and fell silent.
Renee’s words terrified her. She really didn’t dare to face her true self…
