NovelEnglishChapter 507 Ever since Brad realized that Jean was using him, he hadn't gone to see her for four days. Even when she called, he wouldn't pick up. He often stared blankly at the flashing phone screen until it went dark.
The feeling of being used was terrible, especially when orchestrated by someone he had deeply trusted. It was as if a knife had been stabbed into his heart.
Brad was a man of his word, and the promises he made to Jean echoed in his ears. He had even considered transferring a large portion of his assets to her and sending her abroad. Then, she could live a stable and prosperous life.
And how had Jean treated him in return? She took Brad for a fool, deceiving him at every turn. She even went as far as to harm Adam.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this point, Brad no longer wanted to indulge Jean. He just wanted to treat her like an ordinary friend and nothing more.
As for the assets, that was out of the question now. The two of them had grown now distant, with no contact between them whatsoever.
Brad felt good about it. As for how Jean felt, he didn't care much. After all, she was the one who treated him like a fool.
Brad quietly closed the door to Sean's room and returned to Nadine's side. He found her sitting on the couch, leisurely sipping her coffee with a soft smile on her face.
Seeing this, it felt like a beam of light had broken through the darkness that had long shrouded his heart. At this moment, Brad had to admit-Nadine was beautiful. She wasn't the type of beauty that stunned you at first glance but one that required careful appreciation.
The more Brad looked, the more he saw her grace and elegance. Her every move -even the way she sipped her coffee-exuded the charm of a refined lady.
Watching her smile softly while looking at her phone, Brad suddenly realized that Nadine felt so unfamiliar to him. Despite being married for six years, he had never truly understood her. He didn't even remember her appearance clearly.
Brad didn't disturb Nadine, who was absorbed in her phone. He just quietly sat down on the couch opposite her. He didn't drink coffee or speak; he just watched her wordlessly with a soft gaze.
Inside, Brad felt a deep sense of peace. It was the feeling of finding home—a sense of belonging.
Meanwhile, Nadine was chatting with Avery on Instagram. Initially, Nadine had thought about scolding Brad upon entering Phoenix But later, she felt it would be too childish and completely unnecessary.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNadine no longer cared about Brad, so why would she care about what he did? Rushing into Phoenix Villa just to scold him would only make it seem like she still cared and couldn't let it go.
Someone once said that the act of truly letting go wasn't constantly emphasizing that you about violet go. It was feeling no joy, sadness, anger or resentment when you saw that person again. There would be no emotional change whatsoever, even as they sat inches before you. The harshest revenge on someone was to act as if nothing ever happened. As if you had never met or had a relationship with them in the first place.
Nadine deeply agreed with this sentiment. She had once offered her heart to Brad, but he hadn't treasured it. Now that the marriage was over, she had taken back her heart and would never offer it again.
When the relationship started, Nadine had the courage to give herself fully. Now that it had ended, she had the strength to quietly take it all back.
