Chapter 236 I Am Tired
Shirley did n’t want to waste time on Antwan. She turned around, got into the car, and drove away from
the
cemetery
From beginning to end, Shirley didn’t even glance at the so-called Braden’s tombstone.
It was because she didn’t believe that Braden was dead
In the darkness of night, Shirley returned to Nancy’s apartment in the city center as fast as she could.
She had been through too much today and was exhausted. She was very sleepy and didn’t want to do
anything but have a good sleep.
When Shirley opened the door, she saw Nancy as well as Ewan.
Because Shirley quarreled with Ewan earlier in the Stewart Group, the atmosphere was a bit awkward
when
they looked at each other.
“Shirley, you are finally back. If you hadn’t come back, Ewan would have called the police.”
Nancy heaved a long sigh of relief. She intimately held Shirley’s arm and asked, “Are you hungry? If you
are, I’ll
go make some supper for you.”
Shirley shook her head, and the look in her eyes was a little tired. “I’m not hungry. I’m just a little sleepy. I
want to sleep.”
After she finished speaking, she walked past Ewan and headed toward her room.
“Have a sleep?”
Nancy looked at Shirley’s back and felt that something was wrong.
She thought, could it be that there is news from Ben?
Otherwise, Shirley wouldn’t be in the mood to sleep at this time, and she will certainly do everything
possible
to find Ben!
“Shirley, have you been bullied by Antwan? I feel something is wrong with you.”
Nancy asked worriedly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe knew that Shirley and Ewan had broken up, and she also knew that it was because of Antwan. She
thought, it is a little unfair to Ewan.
After all, Ewan has paid a lot for his relationship with Shirley over the years.
If Ewan is defeated by Braden, that will be acceptable. But if Shirley gives up on him and is with a
bastard like Antwan, not to mention him, even an outsider like me will not be able to stand it.
Nancy originally planned to criticize Shirley moderately to clear Shirley’s head, but when she saw Shirley
like this, she was softhearted and couldn’t say anything harsh!
“If he bullies you, just tell us. Ewan and I will not let him go!”
Nancy held onto Shirley’s shoulder, and a look of indignation showed on her face.
Shirley looked up and revealed a slightly bitter smile. “Do you think he is capable of bullying me?”
“Oh, I overlooked it. You’re good at fighting. A scum like Antwan is no match for you!”
However, after Nancy finished speaking, her expression became even more confused. She continued to
ask, “Then what happened to you? Is there any bad news from Ben?”
“It has nothing to do with Ben. I am just tired. I want to forget everything temporarily and have a good
sleep.”
Shirley’s voice became weaker and weaker. She even felt tired while breathing, as if she was carrying a
heavy
mountain. She was not as spirited and energetic as before.
“Don’t worry. I’m fine. I just need to sleep.”
Shirley forced a smile at Nancy. She then unscrewed the door handle of the bedroom and walked in
lightly
like a ghost.
“She can’t be fine!”
Nancy was very anxious. She said to Ewan, who kept silent all the time, “Ewan, do something about it.
Shirley
must have suffered a blow. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be as upset as she is now. Although you have
broken up,
you can’t be so indifferent to her. You stayed here all night just to wait for her to come back and have a
good talk with her, didn’t you? Why did you not say anything?”
Nancy had a short temper. She directly pushed Ewan into Shirley’s room. Then she closed the door with
a
bang and locked it from the outside.
Ewan instantly got anxious and wanted to open the door, but he could not pull it at all. He shouted
angrily,
“Nancy, what the hell are you doing? Open the door!”
“Anyway, you must make Shirley happy tonight, or you won’t get out.”
After Nancy finished speaking, she was worried that the door would be kicked open by Ewan and pinned
a
steel bar to the door as a latch.
She thought, I have no choice but to do so. Ewan is too gentle. As his sister, I must help him, or his wait
tonight would have been in vain!
As a result, Shirley and Ewan looked at each other in Shirley’s bedroom.
“I’m very sorry. You know that Nancy has always been impulsive.”
Ewan put his hands in his pockets and deliberately pretended to be very casual. He looked as if he
hadn’t quarreled with Shirley in the Stewart Group.
Shirley smiled, and her smile was a little tired and helpless. “I’m the one who should say sorry. Antwan is
a lunatic. I thought I could get some useful information from him, but I found that he was full of nonsense.
He wasted my time, and he affected the relationship between you and me. I am indeed an idiot!”
Shirley sat in front of the dressing table and lowered her head powerlessly. She buried her beautiful,
delicate face deep into her palms as if she were an ostrich unwilling to face the world. Immediately after
that, her shoulders began to tremble slightly.
When Ewan saw this, he frowned tightly and felt sad for Shirley. He said softly. “It looks like you have
heard that news. If you want to cry, just cry out loud. No need to pretend you don’t care about it. There’s
no shame
in it.”
From the moment Antwan appeared, Ewan knew that the news of Braden’s death could not be hidden no
matter what
The reason why he had such a strong reaction in the Stewart Group today was that he was afraid that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShirley
would not be able to withstand it if she knew the news.
But unfortunately, he didn’t succeed in stopping this…
“Haw-haw, is there anything I should know? I don’t understand what you’re saying.
Shirley was playing dumb, but Ewan was clear that she was faking it and felt sadder for her.
He walked behind Shirley and gently patted her shoulder as if he was transmitting power to her. “Just cry
out
loud. After all, you once loved him deeply. It is normal for you to feel sad and shed tears for him.
“But you can’t stay sad. You must pull yourself together and live your life. Ben and Ally are still waiting to
reunite with you. You need to recover from this blow…”
“Nonsense!”
Shirley suddenly raised her head and stared at Ewan with red eyes. She looked very angry. “Antwan lied
to me,
and so did you. Both of you think I’m easy to fool, don’t you? Braden is a hard nut to crack. How could he
have
died so easily? This lie is too ridiculous!”
“I know you don’t want to face it. You can think he’s still alive. In that case, you will feel better. Then let
me tell you, he is still alive. Don’t cry for him anymore.”
Ewan could tell that Braden’s death had a great impact on Shirley.
He thought, if it weren’t for Braden’s death, Shirley wouldn’t have been so cowardly as to not even have
the courage to face the truth.
Since she’s not willing to accept it, I’ll lie to her for the rest of her life. Anyway, that’s what I planned to do
at first.
“It’s none of my business whether he is dead or alive. I won’t shed a single tear for him. Even if he died
to save me, I would only think he was so unlucky…”
Shirley took a deep breath, staggered to the side of the bed, and directly fell on the bed. She turned her
back to Ewan and said, “I’m tired and going to sleep. If you have something to say, just do it tomorrow.”
Shirley was crying, and because she didn’t want to make a sound, she was trembling. Looking at her
slightly skinny back and the way she looked, Ewan was heartbroken…
He thought to himself, Braden, are you dead or alive? If you are alive, just show up. Are you a man for
letting a woman be sad for you?
