Chapter 8 Haley's plan

So what was it now? Did Albert want to marry Shirley on purpose as a compensation for taking away her virginity?

Albert made the deal he wanted, and Shirley was grateful for him to help him out again and again. It was a good deal, wasn't it.

Shirley slowly raised her head and calmly looked into Albert's eyes. "Mr. Albert, I was too reckless before. Marriage shouldn't be so rash. There are many women who want to marry you. I won't waste your time. "

After saying that, Shirley ran away from the Civil Affairs Bureau as fast as she could. She didn't even dare to look at Albert's face.

In the next few days, Shirley was somewhat absent-minded.

Shirley thought angrily, 'I was molested by him first. Why should I feel guilty?'? At the thought of Albert's darkened face, Shirley couldn't help but shiver. He must be very angry that she left him on the spot?

Shirley didn't expect that the karma would come so soon.

Albert's car blocked her way home. Shirley turned around and left. A faint voice came from behind, "stop."

Albert didn't say anything harsh, but Shirley couldn't help but stop and turned around.

"You don't want to see me?" Albert looked down at Shirley.

"...... No. " Obviously, Shirley was not confident enough.

"No?" Albert leaned against the car door with his arms crossed, looking at her leisurely. "Why did you run so fast that day? Don't you want to explain for you break your promise?"

It would be better if Albert didn't mention it. Shirley glared at him and said, "Mr. Albert, you took advantage of me. I can't afford to offend you and I can hide from you."

It was just a one night stand. Shirley had to admit defeat. Anyway, Albert was handsome and in good shape, and she didn't suffer losses.

Albert suddenly leaned over and raised Shirley's chin. His breath seemed to be deliberately light, and his warm breath blew in her ear.

"You can't hide," Albert said with an ambiguous smile. "Don't you want to know what happened that night? I'll tell you if you marry me. "

Shirley was stunned.

Albert appreciated her expression with satisfaction. Then he turned his head slightly and touched her cheek intentionally or unintentionally. He whispered in her ear, "or...... I don't mind helping you recall what happened that night. "

Then Albert let go of Shirley before she could react. The frivolity in his tone disappeared. Albert looked at her with a faint smile and threw out a big bomb. "Do you remember? That's what you did to me that night. "

The chaotic memory seemed to be clearer, and several fragments flashed through Shirley's mind.

Shirley looked up at the 1.85 meter tall and handsome man in front of her with her misty eyes. She raised his chin and said, "young man, you are very handsome."

Albert: "...... You went to the wrong room. "

Shirley chose to ignore his words. She was drunk and her legs were weak, so she seized the opportunity to press on Albert. "Tell me, why are you in my room? Do you want to seduce me? "

Shirley blushed immediately.

It turned out that she was not taken advantage of, but slept with someone else!

Shirley had never drank too much before, and she had never known that her drunken behavior was so weird!

Albert watched the woman go from angry to flushed, he suddenly felt it very interesting.

"So, as my compensation, Miss Shirley, you should fulfill your promise and marry me." He put forward the proposal of "marriage" as if it was an ordinary business.

Shirley had no reason to refuse. In fact, it was a good choice to marry Albert.

No matter why he wanted a wife, but the reason was not because he liked her.

And Shirley had already given up on love, so she could totally cooperate with him to play the role of "Mrs. Shirley" well.

But......

Noticing her hesitation, Albert said, "we can take our time to get the marriage license. We have to get the consent of our parents first."

At Rui's home.

"What did you say? Shirley are going to marry into the Yuan family? " Haley raised her voice by eight degrees.

"Mom, I and Baldwin heard with our own ears that Albert said she was his fiancee," said Lana, gnashing her teeth in hatred when she recalled how timid her husband was in front of Shirley's so-called fiance. "I didn't expect her to be so capable that she could even hook up with the childe of the Yuan clan."

Haley didn't expect that either.

Haley knew and acquiesced that Lana seduced Baldwin and made him betray Shirley. After all, Baldwin's mother was the cousin of Howard's stepmother. Haley had a close relationship with the Yuan clan, and she had been complacent about it for a long time.

But now, Haley couldn't believe that Shirley, who she always disliked, had hooked up with Albert directly!

How could Haley reconcile herself.

Of course, Lana was unhappy. On the one hand, she didn't want to see Shirley marry a better man than her. On the other hand, she hated Baldwin for being submissive in front of Albert.

"Mom, if she really marries into the Yuan family, she will have to ride on us."

Haley snorted, "marry into the Yuan family? It depends on whether she has the ability to do that. "

Hearing Haley's words, Lana was delighted. "Mom, do you have any idea?"

Other people didn't know, but Lana knew how powerful her mother was. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone from mistress to a legal wife.

"Yes." Haley looked at Lana coldly.

Haley would never allow that bitch's daughter to live a better life than her own daughter.

Haley thought. 'At that time, I had the ability to let you run away from home and abandon your own daughter for so many years. Now I still have the ability to let your daughter follow your example.'

"Mom, what is it?" Excitement was written all over Lana's face.

"Lana, do you mean that Shirley and Albert went to the Civil Affairs Bureau last time?" Haley asked casually, with a gleam shining in her eyes.

Lana nodded and said, "it seems that Albert likes Shirley." Speaking of this, Lana's eyes flashed a trace of hatred.

Why did that bitch robbed of her fiance and have such a good man to marry her?

"Humph, he likes her?" Haley smiled scornfully, "men's love is the most unpredictable."

"A successful man like Albert has met a lot of women, much more beautiful than Shirley."

"Men are not affectionate. Even if they love each other, I have the ability to separate them."

Haley said coldly. A trace of regret flashed through her eyes when she looked at Lana.

If Lana could marry into the Xu family later, wouldn't she be able to hook up with Albert?

Although the condition of Baldwin was also good, and it had a little relationship with the Yuan family, it was far worse than Albert.

Haley shook her head. This was a real misstep.

"Mom, what do you mean?" After all, Lana was young, far less experienced and scheming than Haley. For a moment, she didn't understand what Haley meant.

"Lana, I won't let that bitch go above us."

Haley said fiercely. She had done so much just to trample on Shirley and her mother. How could she let that Shirley climb over her head so easily?

'Just wait and see. If I can let you run away from home, I will naturally destroy your daughter.' Haley thought.

"Well, mom, I'm relieved to hear that." Lana nodded obediently.

God knew how jealous Lana was of Shirley's good luck. Shirley's fiance was stolen by her, but Shirley met such an excellent man.

"Don't worry." Haley touched Lana's head with affection.

Haley only had one daughter, Lana. Of course, everything mattered to Lana.

"How are you and Baldwin doing these days?" Haley asked indifferently. Since she knew that Shirley had played up to Albert, Haley's attitude towards the Baldwin was totally different from before.

At the thought of the scene in the Civil Affairs Bureau and the way Baldwin looked at Shirley, Lana was furious.

Looking at her daughter's expression, Haley understood something.

Haley didn't know how to comfort her daughter. After all, she had tried her best to make a match between them.

Thinking of the unhappy life of her daughter, Haley hated Shirley more and more. She was more determined to destroy the marriage of Shirley and Albert.

"Albert, what are you doing?" Shirley rubbed her aching hand and said, "you are hurting me."

"Go home to meet your parents." Shirley stopped abruptly and she bumped into a strong back.

Without any accident, Shirley's nose was hurt!

Turning around, Albert looked at the little woman behind him. One of her hands was still grabbed by him, and the other hand was rubbing her nose that had just been hit.

Albert loosened his grip and saw three red marks on Shirley's arm.

A sense of guilt immediately emerged, and Albert's eyes dodged.

"I didn't mean it." It was the first time that Albert apologized to someone. A touch of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Albert waited for a long time, but he didn't hear what the little woman in front of him said. He narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly.

Albert stared at Shirley and found that she was rubbing her nose carefully. He guessed that it must hurt a lot.

Didn't she hear that? Albert asked with uncertainty.

When Albert thought that it was the first time he apologized to a woman, he was a little nervous. Finally, he found that Shirley didn't hear him at all.

"Does it still hurt?" Seeing that Shirley kept rubbing her nose, Albert couldn't help but ask.

"What do you think?" Shirley raised her head angrily. She was more than 1.6 meters tall, much shorter than Albert, who was nearly 1.9 meter tall.

So Shirley had to look up at Albert.

Albert didn't say anything. He just reached out his hand and two fingertips stopped on Shirley's small nose.

Albert gently rubbed it for two times. The delicate touch made Albert feel comfortable. Unconsciously, Albert rubbed it a few more times.

After a moment of astonishment, Shirley finally realized what had happened.

Caught off guard, Shirley took a few steps back and didn't stop until he was one meter away from Albert.

The sense of touch suddenly disappeared. Seeing that Shirley left, Albert felt a little pity.

"You...... What were you doing just now? " Blushing, Shirley said hastily.

Looking at the petite woman like Shirley, Albert was in a good mood.

"As you can see," There was an unusual meaning in these four short words.

Lowering her head, Shirley tried to hide her panic. They just had a one night stand.

Why did Shirley feel shy because of this action?

It suddenly occurred to Shirley that she had never had such a feeling when she was with Baldwin.

When Shirley was in a daze, Albert had already stood in front of her. He lowered his head and his masculine breath floated in Shirley's ear.

Feeling the itch in her ears, Shirley's mind came back to reality and found that Albert was only a few steps away from her.

Shirley's face turned redder and redder. Albert was amused by her delicate face.

His Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously. If it weren't for Albert's strong self-control, he would have kissed Shirley's lips.

The four eyes met. Shirley had never seen a pig run, but she had also eaten pork. So she naturally knew what Albert's present reaction meant.

Shirley took a few steps back and was pulled back by Albert before she could turn around.
