Chapter 717


    When | arrived at the meeting spot, Shirley hadn''t reached yet. | proceeded to look for a seat by the windows and ordered a


    coffee for myself. My mind wandered while | sat and waited for Shirley.


    | didn''t like coffee. It was so bitter that | couldn''t swallow it, so | asked for more sugar.


    Shirley was obviously sent here by her driver when she arrived. Her winter clothes were thick and heavy, but her pregnant


    stomach looked biggerpared to thest time we met.


    She held her waist as she sat down beside me. Then, she ordered a ss of hot milk while folding her cor which she had


    pulled up due to the cold.


    Her hands were red from being out in the cold. After the waiter served the mug of hot milk, she quickly held onto it to warm up


    her hands.


    | looked at her quietly as | waited until her hands were warmed up enough to speak.


    Soon, she raised her head to look around.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She raised her eyebrows and said monotonously, "I can tell that Hendrix has protected you very well." | looked downwards as a


    response. The press was still very persistent and the bodyguards Hendrix arranged for me were still secretly tailing me.


    For her to notice all this wasn''t easy at all.


    "| know about the money," she said, her gaze falling on me, "When | saw him four years ago, he was on Taylor Street in Mesville.


    | liked to eat there, so | was in the area a lot. It was raining in Mesville that day, and I found him sitting in a daze at the central


    square. He didn''t seem to care that he looked like a mess. Perhaps because he was good-looking, | went to him with my


    umbre.”


    The person she was talking about was Irvin.


    | didn''t say anything. Instead, | listened quietly and waited for her to continue.


    “We Mesville girls are probably different from the girls in your country. I''ve been educated since | was a child to have a


    gentleman''s etiquette. Simply shading him under an umbre was nothing, but he was very good- looking. Goodlooking people


    will inevitably attract the attention of others. After | pestered him and finally slept with him, | started wanting more. After that, |


    couldn''t help buttch onto him for good."


    | looked up at her and nodded. It was no big deal.


    She continued, "He wanted to develop


    Mesville and | happened to have the


    resources, So we got engaged in


    Mesville. When we met you,


    just gotte gngagodl en''t


    undlerst nd why he didn''t want me to


    get close to him after that. | might


    not even be pregnant at all if it


    weren''t for the ident. | only


    understood long after that that you


    mean a lotto him." Please read the

    She caressed her stomach. It was


    still snowing very heavily outside.

    As | looked at her, | felt that she was still as adorable as ever. She was theplete opposite of Andrea. She knew of the history


    between Irvin and |. However, instead of pestering and insulting me, she looked into Irvin''s past and tried to understand it.


    She loved Irvin, so she ced herself in his shoes and felt sorry for him.


    "Shirley, | can''t choose how | feel.


    Yes, | do owe Irvin and | am trying my


    best to make it up to him. However,

    She was slightly surprised by my words, but she nodded and said, "Yes, which is why | wanted to talk to you. I love him, but you


    are the one he truly loved. | don''t mean to me you. After all, it is also my fault that he hasn''t fallen in love with me after so


    many years. | just came to thank you."
