Chapter 42: What Does It Mean to Be His Woman?

When Shirley heard a loud sound from the back, she turned back to take a look.

The tower of wine placed on the rectangular table was tilting forward. The wine on top fell sporadically

and when they smashed to the ground, the attention of the crowd was drawn.

There was suddenly a panic in the scene.

“Oh my goodness, the tower of wine has collapsed, run.”

“Let’s go.” Before Shirley could react, Bryan wrapped his arm around her waist and quickly retreated.

She only could follow his footsteps and walk forward. Her hands were pressed against his chest and

she could only let him lead the way.

‘Clink, clink, clink’. Not long after, there were loud sounds behind.

Some were screaming.

Some were shrieking.

Some were bawling.

“Sabina!” At this time, Olivia’s scream sounded behind her.

She turned her head and saw that one of Sabina’s legs was trapped under the long square table. The

wine glasses of the tower of wine entirely fell on her body. The wine had soaked and stained her white

gown.

She covered her face with both hands and shrieked, “My face!”

Only then did Shirley see that the part where Sabina was covering with her hands was bleeding.

The blood slowly overflowed from the fingertips, flowed along her wrists and dripped on the white

dress.

Seeing this scene, Shirley’s lips slightly curled into a cold smile.

What was this called?

Retribution!

“Paisley, do you have a grudge against Sabina?” Bryan’s face sounded next to her.

Shirley frowned. When she turned her head, she met his sharp eyes.

His eyes were full of scrutiny and questioning, which made Shirley felt uneasy. Her hands that were

against his chest pushed violently and she retreated from his arms, saying, “Perhaps it can be said that

way. Mr. Moore, we shouldn’t be able to meet Mr. Stewart since there’s such a mess tonight. If you still

want to continue with the reception, you can do so after the mess of the scene is dealt with. I’m tired, I’ll

go home to rest first.”

She patted her dress that was stained by the wine. She took a sip of wine, turned around, and walked

to the door.

When Bryan saw her attitude like this, a fire was inexplicably formed in his mind all of a sudden.

He had behaved so obviously tonight, could not she still understand his thought. There were so many

women who put in much effort to get a glance from him but she was surprisingly not moved at all.

What did it mean to be his woman?

She would have glory, wealth, fame and status.

Was this woman’s brain made of elm?

The more Bryan thought about it, the angrier he became. When he saw Shirley almost walking out of

the door of the ball, he quickly followed, pulled her hand, and said, “Paisley, stop.”

“What are you doing!” Shirley impatiently shook off Bryan’s hand. When facing this man, even if she

really had a good temper, she also could not bear anymore, “Mr. Moore, you have money so you can

be wilful but I cannot as I have to raise two children. If you plan to stay overnight tonight, then please

do me a favour, let me go home to accompany my children. I haven’t accompanied them properly for

half a month.”

When she thought of the eyes of the two little kids, she was heartbroken and crestfallen.

When Bryan heard her words, the anger that entirely clogged his mind instantly disappeared.

The angry look on his face also gradually eased, “I won’t play until late night, I’ll accompany you to go

back to Spennor Residence.”

“Wait!” Shirley abruptly raised her hands and put them against his chest, “You accompany back to

where?”

“Spennor Residence. Don’t you want to accompany your children, from now on…I’ll go to sleep at

Spennor Residence. After I fall asleep, you can accompany your children then you won’t have to go

back and forth.”

Did he ask her if she was willing to let him come to sleep at Spennor Residence?

When did she allow him to go to Spennor Residence?

Even if he recognized her, she did not intend to let him recognize the identity of the two children.

In such a situation, if Sabina knew that she and Bryan had two children, wouldn’t the two children be in

danger!

“No need, I mean if you want to play until late at night, I’ll go back to Spennor Residence. If you don’t

play until late at night, then I’ll accompany you back to Splendour Manor,” Shirley still spoke to him

calmly and peacefully in the end.

Fearing that if she had any abnormal emotion, he would notice something was wrong.

After all, the person who could recognize that she was the person six years ago by just relying on

incense and a mask was having a high IQ.

Then, she added, “Moreover, it’s also late now, the children must have fallen asleep. If I go back now,

I’ll disturb them, especially Emma, who can only sleep until dawn. If she wakes up in the middle, it

won’t be easy to coax her.”

Bryan glanced back at Shirley. Facing her calm attitude, the grumpy factor inside him slowly

decomposed. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Then I’ll pick them up and take them to school tomorrow.”

Wh…what…

“No need!” She subconsciously refused and her eyebrows vaguely twitched several times. Sensing that

something was wrong, she turned her head, stared at him, and said, “Even if I’m the person you’re

looking for, after all, the two children are not yours. I don’t approve of you approaching them, I don’t

hope that…they take others as their daddy.”

Bryan’s eyebrows wrinkled. His emotion that had originally calmed down was once again provoked by

Shirley’s words, “Paisley, you…”

At this time, the phone rang!

Shirley hurriedly opened her bag, took off the mask on her face and took out the phone in her bag to

pick up the call.

When she heard what the person on the phone said, Shirley’s face slowly changed.

“Alright, I’ll come right now.” Shirley hung up the phone and said with an anxious face, “Mr. Moore, I

really have to request a leave from you tonight.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I can handle it on my own.” She shoved the mask into his hand and after zipping her bag, she

turned around and left quickly.

But, as her dress was slightly narrow and the footstep she took was too big, she accidentally stumbled

and her body subconsciously leaned forward.

Bryan took a big step and held her body around his waist. He yelled in a low tone, “Be careful.”

Her hands were wrapping his arms. Her eyes slightly reddened and she said, “Thanks, I’m fine.”

After saying that, she was about to push his hand away but Bryan clasped her wrist tightly and said

domineeringly, “What has happened exactly, where do you want to go, let me send you there. This area

is remote so it’s difficult to take a cab.”

Shirley’s mind was in a dilemma. Finally, she said a few words, “People's Hospital.”

…

The nanny called her, saying that not long after she left, Emma started to have diarrhoea and later

vomited. Jacob had a high fever too.

The two children were sick simultaneously. This made Shirley felt anxious and she almost cried.

She was really unwilling to see two children falling sick. Whenever she saw them lying in bed with no

energy and no appetite, she really wished that she could represent them to suffer from the sickness.

When she arrived at the hospital, Emma was bawling, refusing the nurse to give her an injection and

also refusing to take medicine.

Shirley walked into the ward quickly and when she saw two nurses pressing her hands and feet, she

called out with heartbrokenness, “Emma!”

“Mommy, mommy…” Emma turned her head and looked at her with a tear-filled face.

Shirley strode over and carried the child from the bed. She gently patted her back and coaxed her,

“Emma, be obedient, Mommy is back, be obedient…”
