Chapter 569 Brad's heart sank when he realized how indifferent Nadine was. He had always thought that no matter what happened, Nadine would be right there, waiting for him.
After all, hadn't she always claimed she loved him? Wasn't love supposed to last a lifetime? It had only been six years, so how could she have stopped loving him already? As he gazed into her clear eyes, he realized that there was no longer any affection there-only distant indifference. It dawned on him that Alex was right. While he prided himself on being someone Nadine would stay devoted to, she had already begun to pull away and stopped loving him.

After hearing her dismissive response, he felt a bitter taste in his throat. He couldn't accept it. This wasn't the outche wanted. Brad parted his thin lips and tried to plead his case, unwilling to give up just yet.
"Can't we just sit down and have a heart-to-heart like friends? Nadine, we're still married. We're a couple, aren't we?" He thought she'd cave if he tugged at her heartstrings. But her lips curled into a sardonic smile, and her eyes shone with derision.
"Mr. Hamilton, if I remember correctly, you were the one who wanted a divorce in the first three years of our marriage, and you even went abroad to see Ms. Sawyer. Since you're so in love with her, why don't you just agree to the divorce? "Honestly, you're a bit of a walking contradiction. You're tangled up with Ms. Sawyer, yet you refuse to divorce me. What, are you hoping to have two wives? Just so you know, men are only allowed to have one in our country. If you insist on having two wives, you'd be breaking the law and might just end up in jail." Despite her biting words, Nadine felt no satisfaction. She simply thought it was pointless to keep dragging things out. Divorce should be a clean cut, like severing a tangled knot. The longer they dragged it out, the more tiresit became.
Brad was on the verge of losing his temper at her assertiveness. However, when he noticed the ridicule in her gaze, he forced himself to suppress his anger.
He then continued patiently, "Nadine, to be frank, I don't want a divorce, and I won't agree to one! If you insist on going through with it, I'll take full custody of Sean." After realizing how Jean dared to harm Nadine and Sean so ruthlessly, he could no longer accept having someone so cruel as his first love. He didn't even want to see her again, and he found himself appreciating Nadine more and more.

Ever since she left Phoenix Villa three months ago, his life had been a mess. Not only could he not get used to her absence, but he also felt a dull ache in his heart that kept him awake at night.
Nadine found it amusing that this scumbag was using Sean to threaten her again.
In the past, she would have been terrified of Brad using Sean against her. But now, she had steeled herself to the point where it no longer mattered anymore.
"I don't mind. You can take custody of Sean-as long as you don't mind others laughing at you for being ra cuckold with a cheating wife. I can't compete with you on this front, so if you want his custody, it's yours. All I ask is the right to visit my son whenever I want." Nadine had discussed this issue with Avery. What would she do if Brad forcefully took Sean away?
Brad was wealthy and influential. He could achieve anything he set his if om mind to. Therefore, Kereally wanted to take custody of Sean, Nadine knew she wouldn't stand a chance against him.
The best solution was to let Brad have custody while she secured the right to visit her son whenever she wished.
