Chapter 367
When Nadine first met Brad, it was precisely at the time when Jack, her crush, passed away.
Back then, she thought Brad's face bore a striking resemblance to Jack's. So she agreed to marry him without hesitation.
It wasn't for any other reason, just because of his looks.
Later, when Brad fell gravely ill and refused to fulfill the marriage contract, she sought help from Adam to ensure her marriage to Brad.
From that day on, she knew that this marriage was nothing but an illusion. One day, things would return to how it used to be.
Nadine was aware that eventually, this marriage would end in failure.
Throughout the past six years, she had tried to love Brad while preparing for the possibility of losing him at any moment.
Having those six years with Jack was her stroke of luck.
Hence, when she saw Jean clinging to Brad's neck, she resolved to fall out of love with him.
Her love for Brad was genuine, but she also treated him as a substitute for Jack.
The jealousy she felt seeing him being so tender and loving towards Jean was real too.
Yet now, all of this had become irrelevant.
What she wanted now was to distance herself from him.
Brad could see the cold void in Nadine's eyes and how much she wanted to end the marriage.
But he had never imagined that Nadine would propose a divorce in such a public setting.
It seemed to him that Nadine was simply throwing a tantrum.
He thought she was simply jealous of his affection for Jean and wanted to get back at him for it.
Snorting, he glared at her coldly and
greeted his teeth in warning. "Nadine, don't push your luck! I'm sure you don't want to ruin Sean's birthday. You always claim to Jove Sean so much, and now you're making him face his parents' divorce on his sixth birthday?"
His voice wasn't loud but clear enough for Nadine to sense his disdain and impatience.
Brad was filled with a strong sense of contempt.
"We'll talk about the divorce when we get home!"noveldrama
As soon as he heard the word "divorce" from Nadine, he felt like cutting off her tongue.
He couldn't believe Nadine actually said that on such an important occasion.
Although he seemed to be threatening her at the beginning, he eventually began pleading with her.
At least for now, he had no intention of getting a divorce.
Besides, they had previously agreed to delay any discussion of divorce until after Adam's illness was resolved.
Nadine's attempt to escalate the situation out of jealousy and malice was beyond contempt.
If not for the fact that she was a woman, Brad might have struck her. Hearing his parents' heated discussion about divorce, Sean turned to Nadine with pleading eyes. "Mummy, can we wait until after this meal before talking about divorce?"
He understood what divorce meant and knew it would make him a child without a father.
Hence, he cherished this day even more.
He still had both his parents today and wished for things to remain this way. He
didn't want to face the reality of not having a father after this day.
Sean stared at Nadine with tearful eyes. Seeing this, Adam seized the
opportunity to persuade Nadine "Nadine, there's no rush for the "Nadine, divorce. How about we discuss it
tomorrow instead?"
Daniel also felt that today was
meant to be a joyous occasion, and bringing up a divorce seemed inappropriate. He joined in to
mediate. "Nadine, Grandpa an
are right. Let's talk about it tomorrow instead, okay?"
What do you think?
