NovelFinishChapter 518 All Nadine could think about was how Brad had done this for Jean. Back then, he did far more than just place food on her plate—he practically treated Jean like a princess. So, this was nothing special.
Nadine accepted the gesture and ate in silence, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. In the end, she was stuffed, her lips a vibrant red, reminiscent of ripe cherries. Brad, on the other hand, had hardly touched his food, having been too busy tending to her throughout dinner.

It wasn't spicy enough for Nadine." The housekeeper nodded and responded respectfully, "Understood." "Don't bother. There won't be a next time," Nadine interjected, ruining the moment.
Then, she pushed her chair back and looked at Brad. "Dinner was delicious. Thank you, but I don't think this will happen again. It's getting late. I shouldn't impose on you any longer, Mr. Hamilton. I'll be on my way now." With that, she made her way upstairs.
Brad, who had been in a good mood just moments before, felt as though he'd been doused in ice-cold water. His heart sank as he realized even if he treated Nadine well, she wouldn't appreciate it.
Nadine wasn't as tic as Brad. Once she got to the second floor and noticed that Sean was still sound asleep, she draped a coat over him, scooped him up, and prepared to leave without a moment's hesitation.
As soon as she turned around, she found Brad standing at the doorway, his hand on the knob. When he noticed she was determined to leave, he hurriedly said, "It's freezing outside! Are you really going to take Sean out in this weather? What if he catches a cold?" His words hit her like a ton of bricks. He had a point. Bringing Sean out in this biting cold to hail a cab could very well make him sick. She couldn't jeopardize her son's health over a petty grudge with Brad.
At a loss for words and unsure of ve what to do next, Nadine stood frozen in place, chewing on her lower lip. Brad could tell her resolve was beginning to waver. He hesitated for a moment before suggesting, "Please, just hearout, okay?" Nadine remained silent, her almond-shaped eyes locked on his, waiting for him to continue. Realizing that she was open to hearing him out, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Brad noticed her face flush with anger as if she were about to explode, and hastily added, "Hold up, I didn't mean it like that! What I meant was, you two can stay here tonight, and I'll sleep at Clover Villa or in the guest room.
"I know you don't want to be around me, and I don't want to be a bother as well. I've already made plans to go out with sfriends. When you go to bed later, you can just lock the door. You won't even know I'm around!" Afraid of upsetting Nadine, the usually quiet Brad rambled on.
Still, Nadine managed to piece together what he meant. She had to admit that his suggestion wasn't bad it was actually a pretty good idea.

two should get srest-I'll go!" The m second the words left his mouth, he practically flew out of the room, afraid she'd think better of it.
