Chapter 671 Brad had a soft smile on his face when he said that, and his eyes were gentle as he looked at Nadine.
Even though they had only been apart for half a day, it felt like a century had passed. He couldn't stop thinking about her, and he wished he could hold her close. She was occupying every corner of his mind.
If Nadine had asked him to get on his knees, he would've done it without a moment's hesitation. Sadly, she couldn't even be bothered to glance his way. It made him uneasy, and he had no choice but to shuffle over to Sean's side to get her attention.

How was she supposed to answer that? Nadine suspected Brad had deliberately put her in this situation.
"That's not a question you should be asking, Sean!" Most parents would avoid discussing sex with their children. They believed that talking about sex with a child so young would only lead them astray.
Therefore, she chose not to answer and softly chided him, hoping he wouldn't ask that question again.
Sean pouted, feeling wronged. "It's just a question, Mommy. Why'd you yell at me?" Nadine was aware that she shouldn't have snapped at him, but she couldn't let him continue on that topic. So, she was caught in a bind.
Right then, Brad chimed in, "Mommy's a girl, so she might feel shy about these things. Lettell you how babies are made instead. Daddy plants a seed in Mommy's belly, and when that seed grows, it turns into a baby. Once the baby is ready, it'll crawl out of Mommy's belly. That's how you cinto the world as well!" His explanation was simple enough for a child to follow, making the topic feel much more approachable. Nadine couldn't help but glance at Brad.
In truth, his face was still the sone she had once fallen for. Brad had sharp brows, bright eyes, and well- defined features. Plus, he carried himself with an air of elegance.
In the past, she thought she was drawn to his face because it looked so much like Jack's. But later, she realized that wasn't the case, as she could tell the two apart and had never confused them.

Brad noticed her looking at him and gently stroked Sean's head. His next words were directed at Nadine. "Mommy will have a hard tif she's pregnant. She doesn't want to have another baby, so let's not push her." He might not know the kind of pain that comes with childbirth, but he was aware that swomen hade died from it. Ever since his impression of Nadine changed he started to enjoy looking at things from her point of view. Sean, having heard that his mother would have a hard time, looked at Nadine's belly and nodded. "I don't want Mommy to be in pain. I don't want a little sister anymore." Brad smiled and praised the boy. "Good job, Sean! You're a very good boy." It was such a loving scene. If this had happened in the past, she would have been moved to tears. But now, she could only feel a deep sense of irony.
Her heart was already dead. No matter what he did, it would be an fruitless ss endeavor! Nadine turned her head away, refusing to look at him, and denying him a glance at her face.

His dark eyes locked onto hers as he quietly asked, "Can't you giveone more chance? In cour, even those change? found guilty are given a chance to plead their case. Can't I have that chance too?"
