NovelFinishChapter 573 Nadine didn't think it was necessary to add Brad back as a friend. They had been married for six years, during which they were friends on Facebook, yet their conversations were entirely one-sided. She had done all the talking while he never replied.
Six years, and not once did Brad reply. So what good would it do to add him back now? Whenever she looked at their chat history, she felt like staring at her own pathetic self. Nadine had cast her pride aside for a man who couldn't even be bothered to respond to her messages.

There was no reason to add him back as a friend. It would only remind her of how small she had once felt. She had put the past behind her and was working hard to forget the person who had hurt her the most. She believed that twould eventually heal the wounds in her heart.
Brad could see the resolve in her eyes, and it was clear she wanted nothing to do with him anymore. It felt as though an invisible hand was squeezing his heart, making it hard for him to breathe. He felt like he was suffocating.
He was aware that she hated him, but he didn't realize she hated him to this extent. Biting the inside of his cheek, he tried his best to suppress his anger and maintain his gentle demeanor.
"I know you're busy with work and your schedule is unpredictable, so it's hard for you to pick Sean up on time. Since that's the case, I'd like to pick him up in your stead.
"If we add each other on Facebook, I'd be able to let you know ahead of twhen I'm going to pick him up. Then, you wouldn't have to make an unnecessary trip. I could've just messaged you today that I was picking Sean up, and we could have met somewhere else instead. Wouldn't that have been better? "Also, the teacher has made it clear that both parents need to be present for the family activity this weekend. We need to communicate more, don't you think?"

Speaking of which, she really did owe him one this time. No matter how much she disliked him, she knew it was only right to thank the person who cto her aid.

However, he declined. "It's alright. If you really feel bad about el bad about it, why don't you treatto a meal next time?"
