Chapter 555
After Nadine hit Brad with her bag, her anger subsided a little. Hearing
Sebastian's comforting words, she smiled and replied, "You're right. I won't punish myself for someone else's mistakes."
Still, hitting Brad on the head earlier felt satisfying.
Seeing that Nadine hadn't truly lost her temper, Sebastian smiled at her. He then looked at Brad, who was sitting in the car. "Brad, let's just say it was your treat today. The favor is mine to repay and has nothing to do with Nadine. Next time, I'll treat you."
As a man, Sebastian fully understood what was going through Brad's mind. Brad simply wanted to get closer to Nadine but didn't know how to. In the process, he messed things up in a spectacular manner.
It was somewhat laughable. Brad Hamilton, president of Hamilton Group, stumbled over something so trivial. But Sebastian wouldn't point this out to him, of course. After all, Sebastian had his own selfish desires.
Since Nadine was determined to divorce Brad, Sebastian felt it was his duty to support her decision. Only by supporting her could he let his admiration for her turn into genuine affection.
As such, Sebastian took all the responsibility upon himself. He ensured that Nadine wouldn't owe Brad anything, choosing instead to take on the burdensome task of repaying Brad. This way, even if Brad tried to find an excuse to have a meal with Nadine, it wouldn't work.
After taking on the debt himself, Sebastian didn't care what Brad thought and smiled at Nadine. The two of them left together.noveldrama
Though they didn't hold hands, nor did they walk shoulder-to-shoulder, they walked at the same pace. Seeing them walk side by side irritated Brad to no end.
Brad's head was stinging from the blow that Nadine delivered. And now, his lungs were aching from anger because of Sebastian. The frustration swelled in his chest, with nowhere to release it.
Brad could only watch helplessly as Nadine and Sebastian walked further away. Yet, he didn't have the courage to chase after them.
Brad couldn't help but feel immense regret; why didn't he try to hold onto Nadine sooner?
Nadine and Sebastian walked quickly, eventually disappearing from Brad's line of sight altogether After leaving the parking lot, Sebastian got straight to the point
and asked Nadine, "Nadine, do
you
really not care about Brad anymore?
"From the way he acted just now, it seems like he doesn't want to let you go and instead wants to mend things with you."
Men always had an implicit understanding of other men. Just from Brad's gaze, Sebastian could tell that he still had feelings for Nadine.
But Brad was too proud, unwilling to lower himself or risk his dignity. He had no idea how to yield or appease Nadine, which was why things had gotten to this point. If Brad had only sweetened his words a little and cared for Nadine a bit more, they wouldn't be in such a state.
Sebastian knew that Nadine must really dislike Brad at the moment. So, he deliberately pointed out Brad's intentions to test her reaction. Sebastian was particularly eager to know if Nadine would consider going back to Brad.
After hearing Sebastian's words, Nadine hunched over and burst into a fit of laughter.
When she finally finished laughing, she wiped her tears before speaking. "Mr. Caldwell, are you blind or crazy? Brad wants to mend things with me? How can you be so sure?
"A man as arrogant as he is would never lower his noble head. This joke you're telling isn't funny at all, you know."
Brad wanted to rekindle their relationship? What utter nonsense. It was more likely that he would go after Jean instead.
Sebastian didn't agree with Nadine. He shook his head and emphasized again. "Nadine, I'm not wrong about this. Ever since we left the hospital, he's been following us in his car. You didn't notice, but saw his car
behind us the whole time.
"I believe that deep down, he still cares about you. Otherwise, with his personality,
why would he secretly follow us?"
