When She Unveils Identities By Zaylee CortéZ Chapter 164

Chapter 164 The Rules of the Robinson Family

Shirley had a feeling that the call was from Braden. Because the location showed Seatle City.

Shirley wanted to ignore it, but the phone kept ringing. Yasmin was also looking at her with a gentle

face, indicating that she should answer it.

To make herself less strange, Shirley could only pretend to be calm and press the “accept” button.

“You finally answered the phone!“,

Braden’s voice was as cold as the one in her nightmare. Shirley shuddered when she heard that. Then

she pretended to be dumb. “What? The insurance company? Sorry. I don’t need that. Bye!”

“Shirley, if you hang up, I’ll… You…” Beep! Beep! Beep!

Braden’s roaring was cut off in time.

“Alas. My number must have been sold. I always get calls from insurance and loan companies. It’s

so annoying.”

Shirley calmly explained to Yasmin and blocked the number.

Braden soon called with a new number. And every time Shirley blocked his number, he would call again

with a new one. At last, Shirley pretended that she needed to go to the bathroom and called

him back.

“Braden, are you crazy? Why do you keep calling me? We have gotten divorced. Don’t call me!”

Shirley lowered her voice and scolded Braden.

After a few seconds of silence, Braden said coldly, “I have no intention of disturbing you. I just want to

ask you if my mother has gone to see you. Is she well now?”

“Mrs. Stewart hasn’t gone home yet?”

Shirley was a little surprised.

She thought, Seatle City isn’t far away from Santho City. Tracy should have arrived in Seatle City. How

could she be missing?

Did something happen midway?

“According to you, my mother did go to Santho City to see you. Right?”

Shirley said, “That’s right. She was here, but last night I let her leave. It’s impossible that she hasn’t

gotten home yet!”

“Damn it!” Braden cursed in a low voice.

His tone was so cold and distant that Shirley felt a little scared. Braden warned, “I’m going to the

Robinson’s house right now. You’d better pray that she’s safe. Otherwise, I won’t let you go, and I won’t

let off anyone in the Robinson family!”

“What? You want to come to the Robinson’s house? Are you crazy? You…”

Shirley still wanted to say something, but Braden hung up the phone.

At the same time, Yasmin knocked on the bathroom door and asked with concern, “Shirley, are you

alright? Do you need help?”

Shirley put away her phone and walked out. “I’m fine. I just made a call to my housekeeper.”

Shirley was worried and thought, what if Braden really comes to the Robinson’s house? The two

families are bound to fight, and both sides will suffer. No one would benefit from it!

So, I can’t let Braden come here, or… I should prevent Braden from seeing the Robinson family.

Yasmin did not suspect anything. She pulled Shirley out and said warmly, “Today is your first day in

the Robinson’s house. Let’s go to the dining room now. Bruce, Chaz, and Danny have been waiting for

you to have breakfast!”

“Waiting for me?”

Shirley looked at the bright sun hanging high in the sky and felt awkward.

She slept until noon, and the Robinson family was waiting for her to eat breakfast. Shirley felt she

didn’t deserve the courtesy!

The dining room was traditionally decorated. On the square wood table were some regular dishes.

Bruce, Chaz, and Danny were waiting at the table.

The three men had serious faces and were sitting upright. It was obviously a military family!

“Hi. Shirley is up. We can eat now.”

Yasmin led Shirley to sit down.

“Good morning, Mr. Bruce, Mr. Chaz, Danny.”

Shirley greeted the three of them politely and gave them a perfect smile.

“Shirley, did you sleep well last night?”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Bruce looked at Shirley with a kind expression. The longer Bruce looked at her, the more satisfied

he became.

“Thank you

for

your concern, Mr. Bruce. I had a nice sleep.”

Shirley continued pretending to be well–behaved.

In this aspect, she was especially experienced. After all, that was how Shirley lived during the four

years in the Stewart’s house Harmlessness was her feature at that time.

“Did you really sleep well?

Danny held back his laughter and said in a serious tone, “You took a walk in the side courtyard at

midnight, didn’t you? You even had the energy to block a dog door. I thought you were unused to the

environment and couldn’t sleep!”

Shirley glared at Danny. She wanted to strangle him to death.

Shut up, Kaza! Don’t bring it up. If I didn’t agree to help you, I wouldn’t have needed to do that! You’re

ungrateful!

“A dog door?”

Bruce’s gentle gaze immediately turned cold.

His eyes were filled with the ruthlessness of a soldier and made Shirley afraid.

Shirley hurriedly explained, “I was unused to the bed and didn’t fall asleep last night at first. And the

moon was very beautiful, so I went out to take a look. I happened to see a hole. And I couldn’t help but

block it.”

Bruce nodded and didn’t ask further questions. “Today is your first day here, so you can sleep in.

can’t do that again in the future. The Robinson family has military–style regimentation. We eat and

sleep at fixed times every day. This will help to strengthen our willpower!”

But you

“Ah?”

“Shirley, you are the granddaughter of a soldier. These rules are necessary. I believe that Jason will

also want me to cultivate you into such a strong–willed person!”

“Um…”

Shirley swallowed. She really wanted to say “I don’t think it’s necessary!”

Jason had taught Shirley military tactics, boxing, gun assembly, bomb–making and disposal, and

training soldiers. But he never had such strict requirements in terms of her life. Jason allowed

Shirley to live a free life and had nearly spoiled her.

“OK. Grandpa, it’s our rules, not Shirley’s. We haven’t gotten married yet. Don’t scare her away!”

Danny finally got his conscience back and helped Shirley. “Don’t listen to my grandpa. You can stay up

and sleep in as much as you want. I want my wife to be happy and free. You don’t need to follow those

rules!”

Yasmin couldn’t agree more. “Right. Right. Right. Shirley and Danny can do whatever they want as

long as they will be happy. We should not interfere.”

Bruce still looked serious and wanted to retort. But at this time, a maid ran over and shouted, “Mr.

Bruce! Mr. Bruce! Tracy has escaped from the Penance House!”

“She escaped?”

Bruce slammed his fork on the table and asked, “What happened?”

“This morning, I went on duty. And I found that there was no one in the Penance House, and the lock

was intact. Tracy has disappeared into thin air!”

Bruce said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Don’t you want me to cut your tongue?” Chaz also

asked, “How can a person suddenly disappear? Someone must have released her!” The maid

suddenly understood and shouted, “It’s that new maid. It must be that new maid!”
