Chapter 22
Their eyes met.
In that instant, sparks seemed to fly as their gazes met, creating an awkward atmosphere.
The air became thin, almost stagnant, and carried a suffocating sense of pressure. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Nadine hadn’t expected the world to be so small that she would run into Brad while out for a meal.
The man who hadn’t come home last night now sat impeccably dressed beside Jean, exuding a noble presence as he glared at Nadine. His eyes were deep and inscrutable.
He had changed his clothes. They weren’t the same ones he had on when he left. Since he hadn’t come
home to change, it meant he had found another home.
A home outside their home.
Given that he already had another home, why did he refuse to sign the divorce agreement? Or had he not
seen it?
She remembered placing the signed divorce agreement on Brad’s desk, but something felt off.
Logically, Brad, who often used his study, couldn’t have missed the papers on his desk. Unless something had happened that kept him out of the study or someone had taken the signed divorce agreement.
Brad’s gaze, cold enough to chill, landed on Nadine, who was chatting happily with Tyler.
He stared at Nadine intently. His gaze was sharp and meaningful.
In his memory, Nadine was gentle and meek. She didn’t have any social life and rarely left the house except to pick up their child.
But now, she was out and about for Tyler and even smiled at him so genuinely. It was a sight Brad had
never witnessed before
For a moment, he wanted to tear that happy smile off Nadine’s face.
Nadine’s smile froze when she met Brad’s gaze and saw the hint of warning in his eyes. She quickly looked away and refused to meet his eyes again.
At that moment, Avery returned from the restroom and noticed the shameless couple sitting opposite them. She gently tugged Nadine’s sleeve.
“Babe, your husband is looking at you with such affection.” She made exaggerated winks and smiled mischievously as she said that.
The clear–headed Nadine muttered softly, “Brad has romantic eyes. He looks affectionate even when he looks at a dog.”
Brad was looking at her affectionately? No way. Hatred was more like it.
Avery covered her mouth and chuckled before whispering in Nadine’s ear, “Babe, you should show your
magnanimity as his legal wife and send Jean a card or something. Thank her for taking care of your husband for you.
Nadine would love to do that, but she didn’t dare. It wasn’t just fear of Brad, but she also knew how ruthless he could be.
Right now, all she wanted was to peacefully finalize the divorce, find a job, and live a good life with Sean.
As for other things, like teaching Jean a lesson or sending her a card, those were out of the question.
To Nadine, nothing was more important than Sean.
Maintaining a peaceful coexistence with Brad was the best way she
id respect their marriage.
Tyler followed Nadine’s gaze and naturally saw Jean and Brad. He couldn’t help but ask, “Nadine, Brad is openly cheating on you. Do you still want to hold on to this marriage?”
The blunt question left Nadine speechless.
She pressed her lips tightly together and was unable to say a word for a long time. She couldn’t find an answer to Tyler’s question.
