Chapter 41
During this time, Nadine remained silent as if she were deaf no matter what Brad said or how he mocked
her.
This made Brad very uncomfortable.
20 minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Colton Hotel.
Immediately, a doorman approached and opened the car door.
As soon as Nadine stepped out of the car, she heard Brad’s phone ringing.
It rang only twice before he answered the call.
“Yeah. It’s me.
“How are you feeling now?”
The person on the other end of the phone spoke in such a gentle tone. It was easy to tell who was on the
other end of the line.
It was Jean!
Besides her, who else could make the usually icy Brad so gentle?
Indeed, the call was from Jean. She was here to demand answers.
However….
She didn’t dare to make it too obvious.
Instead, she asked Brad indirectly, “Brad, why didn’t you come to see me with the doctor? Did Mr. Hamilton Senior say something again?”
She knew about Adam’s illness and how serious it was.
Brad was filial and wanted to spend more time with Adam.
She had just called Brad, saying she felt tightness in her chest, which made him leave Adam’s side.
Since he wasn’t with Adam and no one was stopping him, why didn’t he come to the ward with the doctor?
Was he being held back by someone?
Brad’s tone became even gentler. “Something came up suddenly. Sorry that I can’t accompany you.”
At this moment, he felt guilty toward Jean.
“I had Cameron pick out a necklace for you as my apology.”
When Jean heard him say “Something came up suddenly,” her face immediately turned cold.
But when she heard about the necklace, she smiled again. “Oh. I have so many necklaces. Why do you
still need to give me one?
y with you
“Don’t you have something to do? You go ahead and take care of it. Don’t worry. I won’t be angry I’ll wait for you to come back to the hospital.
“After you’re done with your business, make sure to come and visit me early.”
Brad grabbed his phone tightly and a smile appeared on his usually serious face. “Okay.
“Be good. Wait for me.”
His gentle tone and affectionate gaze clearly resembled that of a loving husband speaking to his wife.
This scene made Nadine’s heart ache.
She felt like a joke.
After getting out of the car, she immediately picked up Sean and walked across the street without looking back.
He called Jean right in front of her and was still lying to Jean!
Did all men like the thrill of cheating?
The moment when Nadine saw Brad lying to Jean, she felt nauseous.
She felt like she was going to throw up last night’s dinner.
Nadine walked away resolutely with Sean in her arms without even looking back. It was as if she wanted. to draw a clear line with Brad
Just then, Sean became unhappy and struggled desperately in her arms. “Mommy, I want Daddy! I want Daddy!
“I want to go back! I want to have dinner with Daddy!”
Sean’s reaction angered Nadine and made her feel even more disheartened..
She had carried Sean in her womb for ten months and nurtured him painstakingly for more than five years, yet he preferred Brad!
Sean wasn’t close to her at all.
How much of a failure was she?
Her marriage was unhappy. She was unable to fight off the mistress, and now she couldn’t even keep her son. What did she have left?
“Sean, listen to me. You don’t have a father. Brad is not your father! Do you understand?”
Nadine was blinded by anger. She only wanted Sean to behave and stop seeking Brad. She didn’t consider the consequences of her words at all.
Sean struggled even more vigorously in her arms. “No!”
“I have a Daddy! I want Daddy! I don’t want you!”
