NovelEnglishNadine was perfectly composed. Not a hint of emotion stirred in her eyes, as if Brad was just a mere stranger to
her. She didn't seem to be fazed by him at all.
She soon handed the phone back to Tyler. Not looking upset at all, she said, "Tyler, | don't like seeing such things.
You don't need to make a point of tellinghow much Brad likes Jean. I'm more aware of that than you are."
She even sounded calm, as if she were discussing someone else's affairs.
Tyler took his phone back in surprise. Gazing at her serene face, he couldn't help but ask, "Nad, do you really not
care about Brad anymore?"
He knew that Nadine had signed the divorce papers and that Brad's true love was Jean. So, he found it odd that
Brad had been stalling his divorce.

What was he trying to do? Did he really want to have both his wife and mistress by his side?
Since he loved Jean, why didn't he carry on with the divorce proceedings when Nadine brought it up? It seemed
contradictory.
Nadine didn't immediately answer his question. Instead, she meticulously cleaned up the cake crumbs on the
table and swept them into the dustbin. She repeated this until the table was spotless.
Only then did she meet Tyler's gaze and say, "Tyler, my care can't change certain things and people. It's like
waiting for a ship at an airport-you know it'll never come, yet you still wait in vain.
"There was never any love between Brad and I. | was just holding on. But now, | can't do it anymore. When the
house has collapsed, what's the point of keeping the foundation?
"This isn't the perfect analogy, but it's exactly what our marriage was like. It was doomed from the start, and
there was no way it could last.
"So, please don't mention him toagain. | don't want to hear it."
Nadine loved Brad, but she couldn't stop herself from loving him at the moment. All she could do was distance
herself from him and avoid bringing him up. It was a temporary fix, but at least she found speace in it.
Tyler soon caught on to her. He smiled wryly and said, "Nad, since you insist on divorcing Brad, have you ever
thought about givinganother chance?
"Six years ago, my mom said certain things that humiliated you. | apologize on her behalf. | promise if you give
Before he could confess to Nadine six years ago, his mother had secretly met with her. She insulted Nadine,
forcing her to stay away from him.
Tyler had found out about this through Avery. He'd always felt that Nadine's elopement with Brad was related to
him, that she had been driven to marry quickly after being humiliated by his mother.
He believed that Nadine still had feelings for him.
"Tyler, this has nothing to do with you." Nadine rejected him curtly. "Mrs. Sullivan also wasn't too harsh when she
metback then. She didn't do anything wrong, so you don't have to apologize.
"Let's just put that behind us. My meeting with her was just a minor issue, and it didn't influence my decision to
marry Brad at all."
Despite recalling what Julia said to her six years ago, she felt unbothered.
