Please Give Me Another Chance Mrs Hamilton

While others might be unaware of the complicated history between Brad and Nadine, Alex and Sammy knew it all too well.

Back in the day, Nadine had taken care of Brad, who was lying in the ICU, despite being heavily pregnant. Even though her legs were swollen in the later stages of her pregnancy, they didn't stop her from caring for him day and night.

After Brad was discharged from the ICU, he started snapping at Nadine over the smallest things. Yet, she never once fought back. Back then, both of them had tried to talk sense into Brad.

"You'll never find another woman like Nadine. Why are you pushing her away when she's been nothing but good to you? You can't keep treating her like that!"

With a bit of persuasion from Sammy and heavy-handed tactics from Alex, Brad reluctantly agreed to marry Nadine. Thus, they obtained their marriage certificate and officially became husband and wife.

However, despite sharing the same bed and living under the same roof, his attitude toward her was always cold and indifferent.

Nadine had finally come to her senses. She was no longer that lovestruck girl who was willing to give up everything for him, yet Brad was still strutting around like he was some big shot. Sure, he might be someone with status, but what good did that do in the face of reality?

The universe wouldn't bend for anyone. Even if he was filthy rich, he'd still need to live a normal life like everyone else. No one could get by without food, water, and the bare necessities.

Alex shook his head when he noticed his friend still acting high and mighty. "Listen, Brad. I'm only telling you this because we're friends; love is just a bonus in life, not a necessity. Once a woman realizes that love isn't the be-all and end- all, she becomes a warrior. She won't revolve around you or the house and kids anymore.

"Nadine's come to her senses now. Do you seriously think the way you treated her until now is still going to cut it? Get real, Brad! The way you used to treat her-no one would put up with that, not even an animal! Do yourself a favor and take a good, hard look at yourself."

Brad getting jealous at the sight of Nadine with another man was a good sign-it meant he still cared about her. As Brad's friend, Alex's job was to help Brad understand his true feelings.

Whether Brad wanted to divorce Nadine or get his act together and make things work with her was entirely up to him, and none of Alex's concern.

But if he still insisted on divorcing Nadine, Alex would feel sorry for his friend. After all, Brad would be losing a woman who loved him with all her heart.

Holding an ice pack wrapped in a towel to the swollen bump on his head, Brad let the cool sensation seep into his skin, easing the burning pain.

He glanced at Alex from the corner of his eye and casually crossed his leg before responding absentmindedly, "I haven't even said a word yet, and here you are acting like some relationship guru.

"If you're that great, why don't you patch things up with Avery? Mind your own

business for a change and leave me alone!

"I called you out for a drink, not to lecture me. So, stop yapping and startnoveldrama

drinking!" He lifted the glass in front of him and gave Alex a quick toast before downing it in one go.

The burning sensation of the strong liquor hit his throat, sending waves of searing pain straight to his

stomach. He couldn't help but cough

violently, and before he knew it, his eyes had turned red.
