Chapter 615 Nadine's mood soured as soon as she saw Brad. Fortunately, he was perceptive enough to keep his distance. He had barely said a word to her and whispered to Sean throughout the ride.
After arriving at the entrance to the kindergarten, Nadine chatted with the adorable little Keira. It was impossible not to like such a cute, chubby bundle of joy. No one could keep a straight face in front of her, and it was nearly impossible not to smile.
But as soon as Keira said goodbye and skipped off, the smile on Nadine's face disappeared in an instant. Her face turned cold as she looked at the man standing in her way apathetically. "Mr. Hamilton, how many times must I remind you to stay out of my way?" Brad had a nasty habit of getting in her way, and it really ticked her off. If he weren't so much stronger than her, she would have already given him a piece of her mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was obvious that Nadine had had enough. Her distaste was written all over her face.
In the past, the proud and arrogant Brad would have thrown a fit right there, showing no consideration for Nadine. But even though she clearly wanted nothing to do with him, the usually high-and-mighty Brad didn't lose his temper.
Instead, he suppressed his anger and said gently, "I'm heading to the hospital to visit my grandfather. Since we're heading to the sdestination, letgive you a ride. You won't be able to hail a cab at this hour." Morning rush hour was in full swing. Nadine noticed none of the passing taxis had their "available" signs turned on, and she grew increasingly frustrated. She couldn't even book a ride through the ride-hailing app.
Realizing that she was running out of tand would be late if she waited any longer, she gritted her teeth and decided to get in Brad's car. Before climbing in, she said through gritted teeth, "Remember, you're the one who offered to givea ride, so don't expect any favors from me!" They were on the brink of divorce. Nadine certainly didn't want to be indebted to Brad.
Brad, clearly pleased, flashed a doting smile and said, "Of course, whatever you say." He radiated warmth with every fiber of his being, and the way he gazed at her was so tender that it was almost suffocating.
Ignoring him, she curled up in the back seat and immediately immersed herself in her work, acting as if he wasn't even there.
Brad, on the other hand, wasn't upset. He sat quietly, occasionally sneaking glances at her out of the corner of his eye. Whenever he. noticed her brows knit together, he'd breathe as lightly as he could hoping to blend into the background.
The car pulled up at the entrance of Harborview Hospital 20 minutes later.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNadine, not wanting her coworkers to see her getting out of Brad's car, insisted on being dropped off at a side entrance.
Brad had no choice but to agree. He watched as Nadine got out of the car and rushed into the hospital without a backward glance. He only told the driver to drive off after she was completely out of sight.
Even though their interaction was far from ideal, he saw this as the best arrangement he could manage with Nadine. They didn't argue or engage in sharp exchanges. They simply sat in silence, breathing the sair. For him, this was an incredibly rare moment of peace. Contént At the very least, Nadine wasn't pushing him away like she did before.
Even though he still hadn't figured out a way for them to coexist comfortably, he e was confident that they with time, they would eventually get there.Brad thought to ask Adam for sadvice when he visited him in the hospital later.
