NovelEnglishChapter 510 It was just as Avery said. Falling in love with men would only bring misfortune while pitying them would only cause suffering. The best course of action was to stay away from men altogether.
No matter what Brad said today, Nadine's attitude remained the same. She would treasure life and avoid men, if only for her own sake.
Noticing the small flicker of fire in Brad's eyes, Nadine was afraid of angering him. She didn't want to risk not being able to take Sean back, so she spoke up. "It is human nature to be inherently cold and indifferent.
"I am a cold-hearted person by nature, and I don't particularly care about what others think of me. There's no need for you to worry on my behalf, Mr. Hamilton. However, I should still thank you for your concern." In truth, Nadine was kind by nature. Even if a stranger showed consideration for her, she would thank them. Hence, it was even more appropriate to express gratitude toward Brad.

After speaking, Nadine checked the ton her phone. Sean had been upstairs for almost an hour now. The toys should have been packed away by now, so why hadn't he cdown yet? She started to feel a little anxious. After thanking Brad, Nadine stood up, preparing to go upstairs.
Seeing her stand, Brad also got up. His tall and slender figure seemed to hesitate before stepping in front of her. With a puzzled look in his eyes, he asked, "What's wrong?" In the past, if Nadine didn't listen to Brad, he would suppress her with force. But now, he didn't dare to use such tactics anymore. In fact, he looked like a little boy who had done something wrong.
Brad's head was bowed, occasionally sneaking glances at Nadine from the corner of his eyes.
Fearing that he might try to grab her, Nadine immediately bristled. She stepped back with a guarded look on her face. "What do you want?" On her way to Phoenix Villa earlier, Nadine had reminded herself not to enter the villa. She didn't want memories to resurface, nor did she want to see Brad again. Allowing it would only bring her pain.
However, Brad had acted like a gentleman against her expectations, showing no hostility. This made her unintentionally drop her guard.
But now, if he decided to do something to her, Nadine wouldn't be able to resist at all. Her heart was suddenly filled with alarm, and she regretted letting her guard down.
Seeing how wary she was of him, Brad's heart ached. He quickly stepped back and patiently explained, "Don't be afraid. I mean no harm. I just wanted to see if could do something for you. just want to help, that's all." Fearing that she might try to leave, Brad kept his composure and continued to coax her. He realized at that moment just how humble he had become. Yet, he was willing to stoop as such.
Brad wanted to humble himself further as long as it meant Nadine would stay.

Seeing that he truly meant no harm, Nadine relaxed a little. "It's I'm just going upstairs to see if Sean upstate's nothing.
has finished tidying up. If he hasn't, I'll help him." Usually, Sean would tidy up his toys by himself. He worked quickly and would usually finish within ten minutes. Why was it taking so long this time? Seeing her genuine concern for their child, Brad didn't want to delay any longer. "Let's go up and take a look together." With that said, he turned and headed toward the stairs.
Nadine, now certain that he had no malicious intent, followed behind. She kept three steps between them as she slowly ascended the steps.
The afternoon sunlight streamed through the glass entire house with bows, filling the natural light. That natural brightness seemed to fill Nadine's heart as well.
As Brad walked ahead, his ears were attentive, listening closely for then sound of footsteps behind him. Only when he was sure Nadine was following him did he feel at ease.
