Chapter 340 All of this pointed to one undeniable truth-they could never go back.
Brad paused in his steps. An elusive emotion flickered in his eyes. He quickly resumed walking and forced a stiff smile as he said, "What are you talking about? I'm taking you for your tests." The caregiver, unfazed by the scene, calmly took out her phone. She carefully selected a few good angles, snapped sphotos, and then posted them online.
Soon, those images spread like wildfire across the internet. The intewas abuzz with discussions, with everyone commenting on how Brad was still hung up on the past and urging Nadine to let Brad and Jean have their happily ever after.

In Janctera City, there was a tradition of drinking tomato soup and eating fish tacos on this day. Since it was also Sean's birthday, Nadine decided to take the day off from both the hospital and the kindergarten to stay hwith Sean.
Avery also skipped work to help Nadine with Sean's discharge procedures and returned to Rose Garden.
The three of them went to the market to buy groceries, and once home, they got busy. Sean, with his arm in a cast, was unable to help, so he played in his room. Avery washed and chopped vegetables while Nadine prepared the fish.
Since Sean wasn't around, Avery finally asked, "Babe, are you and Brad going to get divorced or not? Is it even possible? From the looks of it, you might not get divorced easily." It had been nearly two months since Nadine proposed the divorce. If Brad were willing to end the marriage, he would have done so by now. Instead, he had kept Nadine waiting.
Avery didn't understand what Brad was thinking. If he didn't love Nadine why wouldn't he let her go? Did he really intend to keep her at hwhile having another relationship on the side? Wearing rubber gloves, Nadine held a piece of fish in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other. She skillfully scraped off the scales without looking up.
"It doesn't really matter. As long as Brad doesn't divorce me, he can't marry Jean. Every day I remain Mrs. Hamilton, Jean remains the mistress.
"It's up to him to choose. He can't have it both ways. Not only will I not agree, but Jean won't either." Her movements were swift as she finished scraping one side of the fish, flipped it over, and started on the other side. She spoke without missing a beat, and Avery couldn't help but watch with admiration.

Brad stood up for you then. "By the way, I also heard that the Sullivan family has been hitting rough patches lately. First, someone jumped from the 19th floor at the hospital, and then their ship was found with contraband.
"In all of Janctera City, no one else has the clout to pull off something like that except Brad." In matters of the heart, those involved were often confused, while outsiders saw things more clearly.
Nadine, being in the thick of it, couldn't always analyze the situation with a clear head. As her bestie, Avery felt the need to help her see things from a different perspective.
Nadine had finished scaling the fish and had moved on to filleting it. The fish seemed particularly cooperative under her skilled hands, with even the bones being easily cut through.
After slicing off the belly meat, she spoke up. "Don't make excuses for that scumbag; babe. If he cared even a little about me, he wouldn't be Brad."
