Another woman, amused and exasperated, laughed until tears welled up in her eyes. "Sweetheart, why can't it bewatching the dog lying on the ground eating poop? How hungry would I have to be to eat dog poop?" The teacher suppressed her laughter and tried to keep her composure as she asked everyone, "Kids, is it really necessary for your moms to eat dog poop today? Why would your moms do that?" This time, even the kids from other classes erupted in laughter. Brad, who was usually stern, glanced at Nadine, who was laughing so hard she was in tears, and a hint of affection flashed in his eyes.
How long had it been since he'd seen Nadine laugh? Not since she'd brought up the divorce, at least.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen they had just gotten married, he believed Nadine to be a manipulative woman who went out of her way to please Adam just to marry him and lacked other noteworthy qualities. Later on, he realized that she wasn't skilled at sucking up to Adam-his grandfather simply liked her.
After spending so much tin the ICU, drifting in and out of consciousness, the nthat cout of his grandfather's lips was Nadine. When he loved someone, everything she did seemed right. When he didn't, even the way she breathed felt wrong.
Looking at Nadine's radiant smile, he began to reflect on his past actions. Was simply not drinking, not seeking out other women, not cheating, and working hard for money really enough to make him a good husband? Just then, one of the children answered correctly. The teacher pulled out the prepared prize and announced, "Congratulations! The prize is a voucher for a buffet at the Majestic Horizons Hotel, which allows a family of three to enjoy a meal for free!" The parents murmured in amazement.
"Isn't the Majestic Horizons Hotel part of the Hamilton Group? Did they sponsor today's event?" "Of course! That voucher alone is worth over five thousand dollars! The Hamiltons sure are generous!" "You probably haven't heard, but Hamilton Group has already acquired this kindergarten, so it now belongs to the Hamilton family. It'd be wise to stay on their goodside from now on." "Seriously? Wasn't their stock plummeting before?" "That's old news! The Hamilton Group has made a strong comeback. They not only stabilized their stock price but also made a huge profit!" "I heard they built a library worth ten million dollars for a medical school just a couple of days ago!" "That's the Hamiltons for you!" The child who answered correctly gleefully accepted the prize before running into his father's arms in delight, Nadine was completely focused on her son, and she didn't catch what they were saying She wasn't interested in the prize. All she cared about was Sean.
Sean sat between his parents, crestfallen for not being called on despite knowing the answer. His head hung low, unable to hide his disappointment.

Nadine's heart ached for him. She wrapped him in a comforting m embrace and kissed his cheek. "Baby, are you upset because you didn't get the special prize?"
Sean pouted in disappointment.
"Mommy, I knew the answer, but the teacher didn'tcall on me. I could've won the prize!"
Nadine gently pulled him into her arms, stroking his round little cheeks "Baby, are you disappointed because you didn't get the prize, or about not being able to go to the Majestic Horizons Hotel?" The hotel's ice cream was especially delicious, and Sean could never resist ice cream. He had often pestered her to buy it for him. The little guy batted his eyelashes.
"Mommy, I knew the answer. I wanted to go to Majestic Horizons, but the teacher didn't call on me!"
