NovelEnglishChapter 512 It didn't take long for him to notice something was amiss. Nadine hadn't moved an inch, silently expressing her reluctance.
He noticed the disdain in her eyes just then, and it instantly brought him back to six years ago, when she had just married him. He had looked at her the exact sway back then. All of a sudden, it felt as if countless needles were piercing his chest, driving into his heart all at once.

I hope you won't let it bother you." Nadine watched as he pulled away, nodded, and responded apathetically, "It's fine." Then, she walked past him without so much as a second glance.
An indescribable feeling welled up inside Brad as he glanced at her slender figure, and then his now-empty hand. Was it regret? Sorrow? He wasn't sure, but he found his past self utterly detestable. Why hadn't he treated Nadine better six years ago? Nadine couldn't care less about this scumbag who was attempting to weasel his way back into her good graces. She kept reminding herself that the reason he was acting so gentlemanly and considerate was simply because she had cto her senses and no longer wanted to wait on him hand and foot. He finally realized that he was losing her, and by extension, his easy life.
Hence, she was determined not to make the mistake of going back to him. "Don't ever fall for this man again, Nadine Scott. He's the reason behind all your unhappiness!" she reminded herself.
The weather in Janctera City took a turn for the worse after New Year's Day. As the days went by, the cold seeped into everyone's bones.
The weather was far from ideal that day. The sky was overcast, a bitter north wind was howling, and it seemed like it was going to rain. This kind of humid, chilly weather was the worst.
Jean loathed days like this. Despite the dehumidifier running in the hospital room, the air felt unbearably damp, the moisture clinging to her skin. Even three of the whirring machines couldn't alleviate the excessive humidity..
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile being fed peeled fruit by Lynn, Jean grew increasingly anxious. "Lynn, have you talked to Brad? Did he mention when he'll be coming over to see me?" It had been a whole week-seven long days since Brad last visited her. Every day felt like an eternity to Jean. She had even considered throwing caution to the wind and sneaking into Phoenix Villa to see him.
Yet, Evelyn told her that the password to Phoenix Villa had been changed, and even she had no idea what it was. Security had also been tightened, so no one could enter without Brad's direct approval through a call from the guards.
A few days ago, she could have easily used Brad's nto get into Phoenix Villa.
But now, even if she showed up at his door, she wouldn't be able to get in. So, why would she put herself through that kind of humiliation? After peeling the apple, Lynn tossed the skin into the trash and began slicing the fruit. "I've tried to call him, but he didn't pick up."
She continued, "I have a feeling he might've blocked my number. Ms. Sawyer, why don't you ask Madam Evelyn Ms Hamilton for help? They're Mr. Hamilton's family, after all. No matter what happens, blood is blood-he wouldn't do anything against them."
Her words gave Jean an idea. Evelyn might not be able to help her right now, but Gigi could. If Gigi brought her to Phoenix Villa, Brad wouldn't be able to stop them. With that thought in mind, she immediately grabbed her phone and called Gigi. "Gigi, it's me, Jean! How've you been? Everything alright?"
