Chapter 453


    Chapter 453 His Dark Side


    The atmosphere instantly became tense again. Everyone looked at Braden, waiting


    for his answer.


    Braden slowly sipped his wine and said meaningfully, “I was fearless in the past. What


    I fear the most now is that my wife will leave me.”


    “You’re simply a helpless romantic. Braden, can you be a real man?”


    Keith waved his hand and felt that this answer was already within his expectations.


    There was nothing new about it.


    Nancy couldn’t help but retort, “Can you not show off your affection without warning?


    We don’t have to eat roastedmb legs anymore. We have already been full because


    of your overflowing love.”


    Shirley was very calm. Her beautiful lips curled up into a shallow smile. She looked


    gentle and calm, but there was an indescribable coldness in her eyes.


    Shirley crossed her legs and wrapped herself in a nket. She asked Braden, “Can I


    ask you a question?”


    Braden shrugged, his expression calm. “Sure.”


    “You’ve been emphasizing that you’re afraid that I will leave you one day. Does that


    mean that deep down, you don’t have much confidence in our rtionship? In other


    words … there are hidden dangers between us, but I don’t know about them?”


    Shirley hit the nail on the head as she asked sharply.


    “That’s right.”


    Braden did not deny it. Instead, he said meaningfully, ‘I’m not a wless man. I also


    have many dark sides. If one day you discover my dark side, perhaps you won’t


    forgive me anymore!”


    Braden revealed a helpless and bitter smile after he said that.


    As a mortal, he couldn’t control fate at all.


    If Shirley discovered his dark side and couldn’t ept it one day, he really wouldn’t be


    able to do anything about it when she insisted on leaving him.


    “Dark side?”


    Shirley raised an eyebrow but didn’t pursue the matter. She just sighed and said, “It


    seems that I really don’t understand you well enough.”


    The originally lively bonfire party fell into a long silence. Braden and Shirley were


    thinking about something. They were both deep in thought.


    Keith couldn’t take it anymore. He pped his hands and said, “Isn’t this a weing


    party? Why are you being so serious? Everyone, let’s cheer up!”


    “Yes, let’s cheer up!”


    Nancy also stood up and livened up the atmosphere.


    Because from her past experience, when Braden and Shirley were both silent,


    something big was going to happen. She was afraid!


    Therefore, after Keith and Nancy chimed in with each other to try their best to liven up


    the atmosphere, they both drank until they were dead drunk and began to behave


    strangely.


    Nancy shouted that she liked the moon in the sky. Keith did not hesitate and ran into


    the sea, saying that he wanted to pick the moon above the sea and give it to her.


    In the end, Keith took off the ring of a can and knelt on one knee to propose to Nancy.


    “Nancy, marry me. Anyway, neither of us believes in love. If we are together, maybe


    we are each other’s true love!”


    Nancy blushed. She bit the back of her hand and cried. “I was so touched. Thest


    man who proposed to me was a big liar who was almost killed by me. If you dare to lie


    to me, I will kill you.”


    “No problem. As long as you are happy, my head is yours.”


    Keith lowered his head and showed his long neck.


    “Idiot, how can I bear to cut you? You are so handsome. If you dare to lie to me, I will


    send you to be a male prostitute and make a lot of money, hahaha…”


    Nancyughed as she took over the can handed by Keith and put it on her ring finger.


    “Good, I have a wife. I, Keith, finally have a wife!”


    Keith jumped up and directly carried Nancy on his shoulder. Then, he staggered


    toward the vi.


    Braden and Shirley were shocked. They looked at each other for a long time before


    recovering.


    Shirley said, “Your friend is crazy.”


    Braden said, “Your friend seems too.”


    Shirley asked, “Are they going to sleep together?”


    Braden said, “I think so.”


    Shirley asked, “Should we stop it?”


    Braden said, “They are both adults. It happens naturally. Let it be!”


    Thus, Keith and Nancy spent a wonderful night together.


    After sending the two children to bed, Shirley sat on the beach with Braden drinking


    wine by the bonfire.


    The waves rose and fell. They drank one ss after another. They were a little tipsy.


    However, Braden, who seldom drank, was drunker.


    “There are only you and me now. Can you tell me your dark side now?”


    Shirley’s hair was messed up by the sea breeze. She seemed to have sobered up a


    lot. Finally, she couldn’t help but ask Braden the question she had been curious about


    the whole night.


    “I won’t!”


    Braden drank some wine and looked like a child. His eyes slid out of focus. “If I tell


    you, you will be angry and then leave me. If possible, I will hide it forever till the world


    ends.”


    “Let me guess…”


    Shirley closed her eyes and thought for a while. Then she hit the nail on the head and


    said, ’If I’m not wrong, this dark side must be rted to Mr.

    Quintin, right?”


    Braden was dumbfounded, and his eyes grew colder. “Tell me, what do you know?”


    Mr. Quintin had always been a thorn in Braden’s heart, a thorn that could sever his


    rtionship with Shirley at anytime.


    Braden had thought of confessing to Shirley several times, but he had never had the


    courage.


    The longer Braden dyed, the less courage he had, and he decided to hide it from


    Shirley forever!


    “I have been asking you today, why do you know Sunflower Ind? Why can yound


    on Sunflower Ind? And why are you so familiar with the terrain of Sunflower Ind?


    But you have been avoiding my questions, which proves that you have something


    hidden in your heart…”


    Since she drank a lot, Shirley lost control of her emotions and asked the man


    excitedly.


    She really didn’t hope that what she guessed was the truth. It had something to do


    with her bottom line and she couldn’t forgive it.


    “Continue.”


    Braden was much calmer.


    He would face it sooner orter. Perhaps it was a good thing to face it earlier.


    “Do you know the origin of Sunflower Ind?”


    Shirley’s eyes were red as if she was facing a criminal. She said word by word,


    “Sunflower Ind was a private ind I bought for myself before my marriage. I spent


    a lot of time, money, and energy making it a paradise for me and my children. I lived


    there without worries for four years. Later… I sold this ind to Mr. Quintin.


    “In other words, other than the few people I trusted and Mr. Quintin, no one knew


    about this ind, let alone control it…”


    “So, what do you want to say?”


    Braden knew that he would not be able to avoid this cmity today.
