Shirley gently touched her belly, and as the wait dragged on, her eyes grew dimmer.It had already been two hours, and Keith hadn't come yet.It was already 11:30 pm... he probably won't come anymore, right?Looking at Tina, who was getting sleepy but still forcing herself to accompany her, Shirley felt a bit guilty.Keith, where did you go tonight?You asked me to wait here for so long, but didn't give me any information.I'm sorry, but I can't wait any longer.I'm sorry, but I can't have dinner with you...Shirley let out a sigh, realizing that she shouldn't have held onto any hope.Why couldn't she learn her lesson?He had so many people around him to keep him company, he didn't need her by his side.Shirley, snap out of it.Shirley said to Tina, "Let's go back, I'm feeling tired."Tina's gaze fell on Shirley's face. Despite Shirley's attempt to stay composed, Tina could see the pain in her eyes, which made her heart ache."Okay, let's go back," Tina replied softly, helping Shirley
Shirley placed a hand over her chest, feeling suffocated and stifled.Yes, it was all her own fantasy.Why was she so foolish?She knew his heart wasn't with her, yet she still threw herself in headfirst?She knew that feelings could not be forced, so why did she hope he might come to love her?She knew very well that he only treated her well because of the child, so why did she imagine he might fall in love with her too?Heh... Shirley, you're so foolish!Was it because of the incident with Rose that made her arrogant?Did she think that Keith punished Rose so severely for her sake?Did she believe she held more importance in Keith's heart than Rose did?Heh, she was wrong.It was the child in her belly that held more importance than Rose.That's why Keith could easily sacrifice Rose.Likewise, he doesn't love you!! He would sacrifice you just the same for Lillian!Heh... so this is the truth, the reality of the situation!Shirley, wake up.Shirley gently closed her eyes.Two tears r
The three of them quickly arrived at the restaurant. Because there were a lot of people, they opted for a buffet-style breakfast.They each picked their favorite food and found a quiet place to eat. After the meal, they would take a group ride to the church for the ceremony.Shirley actually had no appetite today, but for the sake of the baby, she knew she had to eat something, even if she didn't feel like it.As soon as Tina entered the restaurant, she was pulled away by Stanford.Rupert didn't have much time to eat either and was called away.Shirley didn't mind being alone.She had just sat down with her plate of food when she saw someone suddenly sit in front of her.As she looked up, she saw Lillian looking apologetic."Miss Lillian, is there something you need?" Shirley asked, narrowing her eyes."I'm here to apologize to you, Shirley!" Lillian started.Apologize? What is there to apologize for?Shirley smiled indifferently."I'm serious, Shirley. I'm sorry!" Lillian suddenly sa
Shirley walked alone to a small bridge not far away, leaning on the railing, overlooking the flowing water below.Her cool face, in the sunlight, carried a sense of inexplicable detachment.Not far away, a group of people were instantly drawn to Shirley, all their eyes focused on her!"Susan! My Susan!" a middle-aged couple couldn't help but shout in astonishment.The people around were also stunned!They rubbed their eyes, no mistake, they really didn't see it wrong!Susan Moore was on the bridge!Her cool face, flowing long hair, and elegant long dress - these have always been Susan Moore's signature!But didn't Susan pass away two years ago?How could she be here?What is going on?Wait a minute!Could she be the legendary girl who looks like Susan?This is not just a resemblance!This is an exact copy!From her features, body, and temperament, it's absolutely identical!She is Susan!Shirley had no idea that she was being watched by a group of people as she leaned gently against t
Rupert finally let go of Shirley's hand and reassured Mr. Moore, saying, "Mr. Moore, you see, Miss Shirley's husband has arrived!"Mr. Moore and Mrs. Moore turned around at the same time and saw Keith standing in front of them.Without even glancing at anyone else, Keith's gaze fell on the spot where Shirley had been touched just now.His gaze was so scorching, as if he wanted to burn away every trace of contact Shirley had with Rupert!"You are..." The Moore family member hadn't finished speaking when Keith took a step forward and grabbed Shirley's hand, pulling her around to leave!Mr. Moore suddenly stood up as Shirley was about to be taken away, blocking Keith and Shirley's path.Having recovered from the surprise of seeing his daughter again, Mr. Moore directly intercepted Keith and said, "Sir, where are you taking my daughter?"Seeing the confrontation between the two men after a mere glance, Shirley realized that Mr. Moore was at a disadvantage.Shirley couldn't bear it and imm
On the other side, the Moore family had no idea that if it wasn't for Shirley intervening, the Moore family would probably have gone bankrupt within a day.Now, Rupert has thoroughly explained Shirley's situation.The Moore family found out that Shirley really wasn't Susan, and disappointment filled their eyes.Of course, there were also looks of relief.If Shirley had truly been Susan, it would have blocked many people's financial paths...Mr. Moore, despite a disappointed expression on his face, saw clearly that the moment Keith confronted the Moore family, it was Shirley speaking up on their behalf!Regardless of whether Shirley had any connection to the Moore family, he had accepted her as his daughter!"Rupert, since Shirley is the wife of the Nelson Family Group's president, and you have a partnership with the Nelson Family Group, she will continue to stay in City F, right?" Mr. Moore looked hopefully at Rupert.Rupert's eyes flickered as he replied, "Mr. Moore, I understand you
"Sister Shirley, what else do you want to know? How about you ask, and I answer?" Claire countered.Shirley chuckled, saying, "Well, there's nothing I really want to know. You came to find me to persuade me to visit the Moore family, right?"Seeing Shirley cut straight to her intentions, Claire's face reddened slightly."That's really not necessary. I accept your apology from earlier," Shirley continued, "Visiting the Moore family isn't necessary."Claire became anxious, "Sister Shirley, do you think inviting you isn't classy enough? If that's the case, I can ask Mr. Rupert to invite you!"Upon hearing this, Shirley stopped in her tracks, raising an eyebrow, "Miss Claire, what does mean by that?"Claire looked at Shirley with a distressed expression, saying, "Sister Shirley, please don't be angry. I just wanted to ask you to pity the parents who lost their daughter, considering Dad and Mom are getting old. Sister Shirley, you are now also a mother, so please agree?"Shirley continued
"It's really good," Keith, who was usually so picky, approvingly commented on the pastry, showing that it was indeed delicious.Shirley lowered her gaze and asked, "Do you two need anything?"Her voice was calm and emotionless.Keith noticed Shirley's indifference and raised his narrow eyes slightly, saying, "Shirley, I'm here to formally introduce you two!"Keith felt that he and Lillian had already clarified everything. Lillian was his friend from his childhood. Naturally, he had to properly introduce her to his wife.But to Shirley, those words sounded like something else entirely.What? Did this mean that once your old lover returned, she, the interloper, would have to step aside?Shirley didn't say anything, but Lillian, being overly familiar, grabbed Shirley's arm and said, "Shirley, you're not mad at me, are you? Don't overthink it. Although Keith and I used to be involved, that's all in the past. Keith and I are just good friends now. Last night, Keith ignored you because he w
