Chapter 32
It was winter, and the outdoor temperature was very low.
As Nadine stepped outside, she saw Brad standing by the window in his black coat, smoking.
The smoke curled around him, only to be dispersed cleanly by the wind.
Staring at Brad’s tall, lean figure, Nadine felt a bit dazed. She used to love watching him like this.
He was good–looking with a hint of roguishness, and his elegance was mixed with a touch of laziness When those beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed, they carried an air of arrogance. It was as if the whole world was nothing more than a speck of dust to him.
However, those soulful eyes would make everyone feel like he was gazing at them with deep affection..
Noticing Brad’s gaze turning toward her, Nadine quickly looked away and fixed her eyes in the distance.
Since she had already decided to leave him, there was no point in wavering now.
Avoiding Brad’s seemingly affectionate gaze, she slowly walked to his side.
As she felt the biting cold wind, she pulled her coat tighter around herself and shoved her hands into hèr ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
pockets.
Brad, eager to know what had happened that day, cut straight to the point. “What really happened?”
If Sean hadn’t mentioned it, he wouldn’t have known anything about it.)
To Nadine, it might have been a trivial matter. But to him, it was a direct challenge to the Hamiltons.
Even though he didn’t particularly care for Nadine, she still bore the title of Mrs. Hamilton.
The fact that someone knew she was his wife and dared to attack her so close to the Hamilton Estate was audacious beyond measure. Moreover, he sensed something unusual in the incident.
Nadine pressed her lips together while recalling the event. She didn’t believe Brad cared about her, so she said indifferently, “It was nothing. You don’t have to worry about it, Mr. Hamilton. It’s all in the past. Neither Sean nor I were seriously harmed. There’s no need to pursue it.”
Recalling that day’s events still sent chills down her spine.
She couldn’t imagine what might have happened if it weren’t for that ‘tree if she hadn’t dodged in time,
and if there weren’t stones nearby.
It was a harrowing experience she never wanted to relive.
At the tim
time, Brad hadn’t asked about it at all. Now that it was long past, there was even less reason to
bring it up.
Her indifferent attitude made Brad frown.
Something so serious had happened, and she hadn’t called the police or informed the family. What was
she thinking?
“Nadine, I’m giving you a chance. Think carefully before you answer me.”
He had never paid much attention to Nadine or Sean. He always felt that providing them with a home and food was enough.
But now, seeing her nonchalant demeanor stirred something strange inside him.
Over five years ago, when he first met her, she had leaped into the sea without hesitation.
Five years later, when faced with a rear–fatal car accident, she seemed completely indifferent, as if she had long since accepted the prospect of death.
This greatly displeased Brad.
“If I had known you had such a death wish, I wouldn’t have saved you back then.”
