Chapter 23
Meanwhile, Jean also noticed Nadine and Brad’s occasional glances in her direction. She tactfully asked him, “Brad, isn’t that Mrs. Hamilton over there? Should we go say hello?”
Nobody knew that Brad hated the words “Mrs. Hamilton“, When Nadine married him in that despicable way, she had hit a nerve.
Jean had lost the Hamiltons‘ favor when Adam forced Brad to marry Nadine, so whenever she talked about Nadine in front of Brad, she’d refer to her as “Mrs. Hamilton“.
Sure enough, Brad’s already grim face darkened further, and his tone became icy. “Don’t bother.”
Thinking about Nadine’s serious expression when she brought up the divorce, he felt inexplicably irritated.
Why did she bring up divorce the moment Tyler returned to the country? Did she intend to cheat on him because she couldn’t stand his indifference?
Brad couldn’t let Nadine do that.
Noticing his displeasure, Jean cautiously moved away from him. “Brad, no matter what, Nadine has done you a favor. You can’t treat her like this. If Mr. Hamilton Senior knew, he would scold you again.”
Brad’s expression grew even more unpleasant, and he rudely interrupted her, “Just stop! Do you want to
eat or not? If not, we can go somewhere else. Damn it!”
When he said “damn it“, he deliberately raised his voice enough for Nadine to hear. He even sent a
provocative look in her direction. His eyes were filled with a fierce killing intent.
Jean enjoyed seeing Nadine in pain. How could she bear to leave?
“Brad, this place is nice. Why go somewhere else? I like the lamb ribs here, and you promised to eat with me. You can’t break your promise.”
Brad shrugged indifferently. “As you wish.”
When Nadine noticed Brad tenderly serving Jean, she felt a lump in her throat. Yet she didn’t want Brad to see her weakness. She tried hard to ignore the couple and appeared indifferent.
What else could she do? She couldn’t rush to Brad and cry to him, saying, “Brad, I can’t live without you. Please come back to me ”
Even if she could do such a thing, it would only bring her Brad’s humiliation.
The woman he truly loved was Jean. How could there be room in his heart for anyone else? To Brad, Nadine was just an annoying object that he could discard at any time. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Nadine ate this meal heartily.
Ignoring the couple across from them, she tried to please herself with delicious food. After eating her fill, she found that her mood, had improved significantly.
As Avery had said, in this world, you should never disappoint those who love you and good food.
Nadine no longer looked at the couple at the other table. Instead, she focused on her meal to shift her attention. She then chatted with Tyler about work while taking notes seriously.
“Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.”
When Nadine finished in the restroom and walked out, she saw a tall figure leaning against the entrance of the restroom, blocking her way out.
The man was tall. His entire body blocked the entrance of the women’s restroom, making it impossible
for her to leave.
She had no choice but to politely request, “Excuse me, sir, could you please move aside? Thank you.” Her tone was distant and cold, as if the man in front of her was a stranger.
Brad was annoyed by her distant tone. Frowning, he looked at her face and said coldly, “Sir? You don’t recognize me anymore?”
