Brad asked
Brad frowned after listening to her explanation. His short black hair fell over his forehead, partially blocking the light from the ceiling.
He stared at Zoey and asked in confusion, “Ms. Scott? Is that how you usually address her?”
Most of the time, he was busy at the office. Even when he came home, he would continue working in the study. Therefore, he barely noticed these small details.
But now, when he heard how Zoey addressed Nadine, a hint of dissatisfaction crept onto his furrowed brows.
Before Zoey could respond, Sean looked up at Brad with his innocent and sincere gaze. “Yes! That’s how they usually address Mommy. Is something wrong with that?”
He added, “Sometimes, I even find it nice when they address her like that.”
Zoey was unfazed by Sean’s interruption. She smiled lightly and said, “It’s just a form of address. Why are you so concerned about it, Mr. Hamilton?”
Brad snorted, and his expression suddenly became serious. “So, does Nadine prepare the dinner all by herself? Do you never cook?”
Zoey’s smile froze on her lips. Looking at Brad’s intimidatingly serious face, she instinctively took a step back. “What’s wrong, Mr. Hamilton? Did we do something wrong?”

Brad had never shown interest in household matters. Zoey couldn’t fathom why he would suddenly ask about it. Startled and sharpness in his gaze, she lowered her voice considerably.
Rumor had it that Brad hated Nadine, but the reality appeared to contradict the rumor.
Anger clouded Brad’s strikingly handsome face. Then, he became expressionless and looked at the bewildered maid.
He asked, “Ms. Scott? Who allowed you to address her like that?”
Strangely enough, he didn’t feel anything wrong when he treated Nadine rudely. But he became upset when he heard how Zoey addressed her, and it grated on his nerves.
As his face darkened, Zoey bowed her head even lower. “Mr. Hamilton, we’ve been addressing Ms. Scott like that. She didn’t have any issues with it. Everyone here addresses her that way.”
She still couldn’t figure out why Brad was upset.
Brad’s frown deepened. “She’s my wife. Don’t you know that?”
