When She Unveils Identities By Zaylee CortéZ Chapter 390

Chapter 390 A Fatal Secret

On the way back to the apartment, Shirley called Mr. Quintin before the two children left school.

“What’s the matter?”

Mr. Quintin was very surprised to receive Shirley’s phone call.

“There is indeed a special situation. Where are you now?”

“Me?”

Mr. Quintin paused for a moment and replied, “I am currently at Crimson Pawnshop. I need to deal with

some special matters.”

“I see. When will you be free? Can you come to the apartment?”

Shirley sounded a little anxious as if she had something important to discuss with Mr. Quintin.

“Then wait a moment. I’ll be right there.”

Mr. Quintin heard the worry in Shirley’s tone and said in a deep voice.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

When Shirley returned to the apartment, she began to organize her and the children’s daily necessities.

About an hour later, Mr. Quintin arrived as promised.

“You’re finally here.”

When she saw Mr. Quintin, she felt a sense of security for some reason.

Although Mr. Quintin had not spent a lot of time with her and the children, every time he accompanied

her

and the children, they felt the warmth of home. She had regarded this man, whose reputation was bad,

as her

family.

No matter how strong a woman was, she still needed a man to support her and warm her.

Mr. Quintin coldly looked at the room. When he saw the luggage she had packed, he slightly raised his

thick

eyebrows. “Are you moving?”

“No. I’m just leaving for a week…”

“Where are we going?”

“…”

Shirley scratched her hair and was a little embarrassed. She did not know how to explain her situation

to Mr.

Quintin.

Although she and Mr. Quintiri had agreed from the beginning that they were just putting on a show,

after getting along with each other for a while, they had feelings for each other.

If she told him where she went, he would be angry, right?

“Let me guess…”

Mr. Quintin pursed his thin lips and slowly said, “You have reconciled with your ex-husband, so you will

move with the children to live with him and you will be a happy family again. As for me, I’m just a poor

backup. I

can only go back to where I came from, right?”

“Don’t say so. I’m going to live with Braden, but it is only a week, and it is only because of special

circumstances. The children and I are not going to be a happy family with him. I can’t reconcile with

him!”

Shirley said coldly and silently clenched her hands.

Once she hurt his feelings, it would be impossible for him to recover. She understood it very well.

“As for you, you are not a backup.”

She raised her eyes and met Mr. Quintin’s eyes.

They looked at each other and could clearly feel that they were no longer just putting on a show. It was

just

that they didn’t mention it.

Most of the time, it was like the most fatal secret.

“Braden already knows about the two children. According to his style, he won’t let it go. He told me that

I must marry him or return the children to him…”

Shirley confessed to Mr. Quintin about the things between her and Braden.

She felt that no matter what the relationship between her and Mr. Quintin was, Mr. Quintin had the right

to

know this

“I guessed it.”

Mr. Quintin was not surprised. He smiled lightly. “So, what is your choice?”

“I won’t marry him, and I won’t give him the children either.”

With a determined expression, she took a deep breath and stared at the man in front of her. She

mustered her courage and said, “So, my choice is to marry you!”

Mr. Quintin was still indifferent. He said, “This is your choice because you want to protect the custody of

the

two children, right?”

Shirley was silent for a while, shook her head, and said seriously, “I think I want to marry you not only

because of the children.”

“That’s strange…”

Mr. Quintin smiled with interest. He moved closer to her and reached out to stroke her cheek. “Could it

be that

you are falling for me?”

“I don’t know.”

Shirley did not refuse Mr. Quintin’s touch. She bit her lips. She was struggling in her heart. She could

not tell how she felt about Mr. Quintin…

“I think I don’t love you. I’m not falling for you either. It’s just that I feel that being with you makes me

feel at peace and feel the warmth of home. This is the feeling of home in my imagination.”

“What about Braden? Haven’t you experienced this feeling with him?”

“To be honest, when I first met him, I also had this feeling. He was cold, and I could feel the cold aura

from ten feet away, but for some reason, he could give me a sense of stability and reliability. It’s very

strange.”

For some reason, Shirley was lost in her deep memories.

The scene of her first seeing Braden appeared in her mind. She couldn’t forget about the only

sweetness in their relationship, and she couldn’t help but smile.

“You don’t know that at that time, I couldn’t live without love. When I saw him, I was thinking about

having children with him, living together with him and our children, having dinner, watching TV, and

traveling

together.

“In our marriage, I had been working hard for these things. However, I couldn’t make these things real

before i divorced him. Instead, I found this feeling in you.”

Mr. Quintin was silent.

He listened to Shirley’s words. She sounded both sad and sweet. Mr. Quintin did not respond for a long

time.

Shirley also realized that she was overthinking. She coughed lightly and explained, “Don’t get me

wrong. I don’t have feelings for him now. I only have feelings for you, so I want to…”

“Make things real with me?”

Mr. Quintin asked, hitting the nail on the head.

Shirley clenched her fists even tighter and nodded hard, “At least, I’m working on it.”

Four years had passed. She was about thirty years old, but she spent most of her life with a man who

was not worth it. It was time for her to start a new journey.

Perhaps it would be very difficult, but she finally had the impulse to open her heart and try to take a

step

forward.

Mr. Quintin held Shirley’s face gently and looked at her carefully. His eyes were gentle but complicated.

Her face was perfect and delicate. She looked vulnerable, but her thin lips looked stubborn. Her eyes

were very beautiful and bright. Mr. Quintin could tell from her eyes that it wasn’t easy to win her heart.

Because of this, he couldn’t stop thinking about her.

Braden was really the biggest fool in the world. He actually gave her a chance to run away. She was

such an

amazing woman.

It is my honor to be able to get married to you. We were acting in the beginning, and things were

getting real. However, to not make you regret it, you can make a decision after a week.”

Mr. Quintin gently stroked her cool cheek as if he regarded her as a treasure. He was so gentle and

patient.
