When She Unveils Identities

Chapter 572

Chapter 572 As If Never Owned

Bennett was very angry and ran to the river with his hands behind his back. Facing the rushing river, he pretended to be thinking deeply there.

Shirley followed him quietly. Seeing the back of the little guy, she put a wry face to some extent, and couldn’t help feeling that genetic influence is powerful.

Bennett, this melancholy and introverted boy was just like a miniature version of Braden. When he grew up, he would probably be even cooler than Braden.

The surrounding environment of Crimson Pawnshop which is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms was disorderly and chaotic. However, only this area was quiet and peaceful, like a paradise in tumultuous times.

No matter how bad and complicated the people outside are, they didn’t dare to pick on Bennett.

In this area, Bennett was the future successor of the Midnight ghost. Thus, let alone standing by the bridge to enjoy the scenery, it was safe for Bennett to walk sideways even with his eyes closed.

Standing behind Bennett, Shirley folded her arms, kept silent, and enjoyed the beautiful view with him.

’Humph!”

The longer Bennett looked at the scenery, the angrier he became. He picked up a few stones and threw them into the river, hitting some beautiful floats.

‘Wow, Bennett, you are so cool. When did you learn how to skip stones?’

Shirley couldn’t help but admire.

She had been studying this for a long time, but she had not got it. Thus, she admired people who can make beautiful splashes with stones.

Bennett looked back at Shirley, pouted, and said, ‘ Mummy, don’t you want to get rid of me and my sister? Go to take care of the bad uncle, and why are you coming back?”

‘Oh, my dear, are you still angry? I said that I didn’t mean to abandon you and your sister. Mommy has my reasons to do so.”

‘What’s the reason? Didn’t it mean that you changed your mind, betrayed Daddy, and then eloped with Daddy’s younger brother? It’s something reasonable!”

Shirley was speechless.

She was a little overwhelmed.

She hadn’t seen Bennett for half a year, but he had grown a great deal older, and she was dumbfounded by his sour words.

‘Who told you this? It’s complete nonsense. I didn’t do that.’

‘I checked it online by myself. Daddy was so sad because of your betrayal and he chose another woman. He is going to marry her, and my sister and I will lose our Daddy.”

When Bennett said this, his bright eyes dimmed in an instant. He held the stone in his small hand and said, ‘From now on, no one will teach me how to play with water.’

In the past, he never experienced fatherly love, so he felt that fatherly love was nothing special and that he didn’t need it.

However, since he had Braden as his father and they three spent several happy days on Sunflower Island, he found that he liked Braden very much and longed for his love.

He missed the feeling of being held on the shoulder by Braden, missed Braden teaching him to go fishing in the sea and taking him to play beach volleyball… There were many things that Mommy couldn’t replace the role of Daddy.

’So, is it because of this that you are angry with Mommy and ignore Mommy?”

Shirley asked Bennett softly and guiltily.

She didn’t feel good, and it was hard to imagine how disappointed Bennett was.

’I’m not mad at you.”

Bennett sighed for a long time, turned to Shirley, took her hand, and apologized obediently, “I’m sorry Mommy, I know you should not be blamed for this matter, you and Daddy have the right to choose to be with others. You all can pursue your happiness, but I’m just… just afraid that you and Daddy won’t want me and my sister anymore one day.”

*My boy, how is it possible? This will never happen!” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

‘How can’t it happen? Didn’t you and Daddy leave us? You disappeared without a word and Daddy…I went to find him that day, and he walked away with another woman as if he didn’t see me.”

’Did you go to find him?”

‘Yeah, I went to Daddy’s company to look for him while my uncle was busy with work, but Daddy didn’t seem to know me anymore.”

When Bennett said this, his expression was very calm.

Because the saddest moment had passed, and he was not sad now. What he felt now was only a little regretful.

’Bennett, my little Bennett, I’m sorry you are wronged!’

Shirley’s eyes were red, she hugged Bennett into her arms, choked up, and said, “It’s Mommy’s fault. Mommy took you and your sister too strong, too sensible and ignored your feelings. I apologize and promise that I will never leave you and your sister again!”

She was heartbroken when she thought of the scene of Bennett pitifully looking for Braden, but Braden turned a blind eye.

From Bennett’s point of view, if Mommy disappeared and Daddy ignored him, wouldn’t that mean that he was abandoned by his whole world?

‘But, what about Daddy’s younger brother? May said that you went for taking care of that person. You will leave one day, right?”

Bennett held Shirley’s hand and tentatively said.

’I’ll handle it well. No matter where I go in the future, Mommy will take you and your sister together. Mommy will never leave you.”

Shirley hugged Bennett tightly and promised with a choked voice.

‘ Mummy, I believe in you. You must love me and my sister the most, and you will not leave us. However, Daddy should have forgotten me and my sister.”

Bennett said with a sad voice, “If you can be with Daddy again, and if we can go back to live on the Sunflower island, that would be great!’

’If you forget him, just pretend… that you had never met him!”

Shirley closed her eyes, cried silently, and comforted Bennett as if comforting herself.

’Ok.”

Bennett nodded obediently.

He was finally relieved, and those words of Shirley gave him enough sense of security.

This sense of security could completely offset the regret of not having a father.

The two held hands and returned to the Crimson Pawnshop.

After a simple dinner, Shirley started to get busy.

Losing contact with her brother, Nancy was still in custody, and Antwan couldn’t be contacted…all kinds of things piled up, making her didn’t dare to stop for a moment.

Based on the difficulty of the matter, Shirley decided to go to the police station first.

Ms. Wilson, since you just came back, why not rest for a night before leaving?’

May looked at Shirley who was about to set off, and felt extremely distressed.

’I’m resting comfortably, while Nancy is suffering in the cold prison cell. Do you think I can rest?”

’This…you are right.’

May let out a long sigh and said, ’Ms. Parker broke up with her family to help you, and now you are the only one who can help her.’

‘Don’t worry, it’s a trivial matter. I own the most powerful lawyer team in the Seatie City.”

Shirley comforted May with a smile. Then, she set off towards the detention center where Nancy was imprisoned in the night.
