Shirley's beautiful face was as cold as ice. She said without any emotion, "What does his life have to do with me? During my most difficult days, when did he care about how I felt? When did he care about how I was doing?"
"Well..."
Keith felt guilty and lowered his head.
In those few years, Braden had gone too far. He cheated on Shirley and forced her to leave. He was frigid, but he was in deep love with a goody-two-shoes like Amelie.
No matter how much love and affection Shirley had for him, it was already washed away by time.
If Keith persuaded Shirley to give Braden a chance, wouldn't he make things worse?
"So, I will tell you again. Braden and I have nothing to do with each other, and we'll never get back together. Please tell your friends and ask them not to joke around. If this happens again, I will turn hostile, and I won't care who you guys are."
Shirley's expression was serious as she emphasized this to Keith.
