NovelEnglishChapter 565 Nadine had always been a gentle woman who greeted everyone with a warm smile. But all that went out the window when it cto Brad. As soon as she saw him, her demeanor would shift in an instant, and she'd put up her guard as if she was ready to stab the man she found utterly repulsive.
Hence, the sight of Brad, the ever-busy man, coming to pick Sean up made her blood boil. For heaven's sake, the two of them were on the brink of a divorce. Why couldn't he just sign the damn papers, run off to his first love, and leave her in peace? Why did he have to keep pestering her? Why did he have to keep showing up right under her nose all the damn time? "He's so fucking annoying!" she cursed inwardly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNadine didn't want to talk to Brad, so she vented her frustration on Sean. Did he forget who gave birth to him? How dare he be this close to that bastard? Sean noticed the displeasure in his mother's eyes and immediately put on a pitiful expression, looking up at her with sad eyes. "Mommy, I really want to eat it... just this once. Please, can we go? It's been forever since I last had it!" Ever since she moved out of Phoenix Villa, Nadine had to balance work, school, and raising Sean. It drained most of her energy, and she rarely had tto take him out to eat.
As she met her child's pitiful gaze, she realized it really had been a long tsince she last took him out, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. Sean had put up with so much over the past few months without a word of complaint or a hint of resentment.
All he wanted was to eat something he liked, so she really shouldn't be so harsh with him. Hence, after noticing the pitiful look on her son's face, all of her rage turned into guilt. Nadine wanted nothing more than to scoop him up and rush to their favorite restaurant right away.
But then she remembered that scumbag was still here. She wanted to take her son out, but she didn't want to get tangled up with Brad. All of a sudden, she found herself torn and at a loss for words.
She began to form her next words in her mind. She wanted to say, "I want to take you, but we can't go with your daddy." But before she could get those words out, Brad spoke up, "Hop in. We can take him out together. It's just a meal, after all. I haven't signed the divorce agreement yet, so we're still technically married and share custody of him. It's perfectly normal for us to take our son out for dinner." In the past, he would have spoken in a commanding tone, leaving no room for Nadine to refuse. But there was none of that this time. His voice was calm and gentle, almost as if he was seeking her opinion and trying to put her at ease.
Nadine froze as she stared at Brad. Was she hearing things? Was it just her imagination, or had he really changed? Why did he sound like he was speaking to her with respect? It was almost as if they were on equal footing.

Assuming she was still being difficult and didn't want to go with them, he added, "How about I drop you and Sean off at the restaurant? The two of you can go in and eat while wait outside in the can I won't bother you. How does that sound?" Was this really the sBrad that she knew? A flicker of disbelief crossed her face as her round

to obey him. While she was hesitating, Brad opened the door, got out of the car and gestured for her to E get in. "Sean wants to go. Let's get along for our child's sake, okay?"
