Chapter 574 Brad was nothing like his usual self that day. Usually, he carried himself with an air of superiority, as if he looked down on everyone around him. But now, that arrogance was gone, replaced by a certain warmth that made him feel more like a friend. He was respectful toward women, and his gaze was sincere, making it impossible to dislike him.
After successfully adding Nadine on Facebook, Brad put his phone away, feeling utterly pleased with himself. When he had been drinking with Alex, his friend had told him not to rush into anything and not to push Nadine into forgetting about the divorce right away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlex wanted Brad to treat her like a person he had just befriended. He had to take it slow, get closer to her, work his way into her heart, and show her how much he truly cared about her. He had to use his sincerity to win her over. No tricks allowed.
Alex emphasized that feelings couldn't be faked. If he genuinely liked her, he shouldn't be arrogant. He needed to let go of his pride and shower her with the love she deserved. Above all, he needed to be shameless about his ways.
For instance, he wanted her to add him on Facebook, but she didn't want to, so he had to keep pestering her. He also had to make himself look as pitiful as possible. Regardless, he couldn't give her attitude or force her into adding him. Women responded better to gentleness than force, after all.
Even though he had achieved his goal of adding Nadine as a friend on Facebook that day, he was still greedy for more. He wanted to spend a bit more twith her-even if they didn't talk. Even sitting with her in silence would be enough for him.
However, it was obvious she wasn't keen on spending any more taround him. Hence, before she could speak up, he offered, "It's getting late. Why don't you lettake you and Sean home?" One should never be too greedy. Brad knew better than to push his luck.
Nadine didn't want to be in the scar as Brad and was about to turn him down, but he was a step ahead, grabbing her and Sean's coats. He handed hers to her before saying, "Here, put it on. I'll go help Sean with his." Before she could respond, he stuffed the coat into her hands and walked over to Sean. Frozen in place, Nadine watched as the tall figure walked toward Sean, a knot of irritation tightening in her chest.

But now that she was so close to not caring about him anymore, he had the audacity to show up in front of her to get her attention. What the hell was wrong with him? "This won't do. I'll have to set things straight with him on the ride back," she thought.
In no tat all, Brad was back with Sean, who had his coat on. He smiled at her and said, "Let's go. I'll take you both home." When he smiled, it felt as if spring had suddenly arrived, with blossoms bursting forth everywhere. Nadine froze, and before she could utter a word, Brad took her hand and led her out of the restaurant.
As soon as the tstepped outside, a biting northern wind howled past, grazing her delicate skin and sending a sharp sting through her, causing her to gasp softly. He instantly walked over, pulling her into his embrace, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did you twist your ankle?"
His broad shoulders and warm embrace were comforting, like gentle spring breeze. However, she felt as though she was facing a formidable opponent. She immediately broke free from his hold and backed away.
"I'm fine. The wind was just too strong, and something got in my m eyes." Nadine lowered her eyes, e avoiding his concerned gaze, feeling as flustered as a child. Then, ske hurried into the car without a backward glance.
Neither of them said another word er word until they arrived at Rose Garden.
