Chapter 44
Brad wasn’t someone with a good temper.
He already had a lot of opinions about Nadine, and seeing her letting Sean run a red light and cross the road alone only intensified his disapproval.
Now, he felt even more irritated after seeing her not even eating the table full of food.
His words became sarcastic.
“Maybe you should call your lover to come over if you don’t have an appetite!”
As he spoke, he slammed the fork heavily on the table, and his face was full of gloom.
Brad couldn’t understand how Nadine, who had once been willing to marry him, suddenly asked for a divorce after Tyler returned.
Was it because she loved Tyler too much?
Or was she tired of this marriage?
He considered himself quite a qualified husband.
He didn’t gamble or drink, and even if he drank for business, he never got drunk. He went to work on time.
came home on time, didn’t keep mistresses or play with female celebrities, and maintained a harmonious
sex life. 1
What did Nadine have to complain about?
What qualifications did she have to ask for a divorce?
Over the years, he had given her and Sean a home, sheltered them from wind and rain, and never uttered
a word of complaint. What else could she be dissatisfied with?
Nadine could see that Brad’s patience was wearing thin
He would lose his temper at the slightest provocation.
So, she got up and walked to where Sean was still drawing before asking him patiently to come and eat.
Although Sean had been angry with her just now, he quickly calmed down. Seeing Nadine come over to talk to him, he didn’t hold a grudge against her.
Instead of giving Nadine the cold shoulder, he followed her to the dining table, put on his napkin, picked up his fork, and ate obediently.
At over five years old, Sean was already very skilled in using a fork.
He held the fork with an air of proficiency with his fair little hand.
He could even pick up peanuts by himself.
With Sean joining in, the atmosphere at the dinner table improved a lot. It was no longer as suffocating as
Chi
it was just now.
However…
Nadine still had a cold expression on her face. She didn’t spare Brad a glance, nor did she say a word to
him.
When had Brad, who was used to being in control, ever been ignored by a woman like this?
He lifted his foot and stepped on Nadine’s foot.
A tablecloth covered the table, hanging so low it nearly touched the floor. No one would have noticed what was happening underneath the table unless the tablecloth was lifted.
When Nadine realized that someone was stepping on her foot, her first reaction was to pull her foot back.
However, she failed.
She tried again, but still couldn’t succeed.
Not only that, but she was even stepped on more heavily by Brad, and she could feel the pain.
She quickly realized that Brad did it on purpose!
At this moment, Brad still had a look of Innocence on his face as he smiled at her.
Nadine smiled back. She lifted her other foot, seized the opportunity, and stomped heavily on his foot
that was pressing on hers when he wasn’t paying attention.
She didn’t hold back at all.
The air was soon filled with Brad’s sharp intake of breath.
“Hiss…”
Brad sat up straight. His eyes were filled with sharp intensity as he looked at Nadine, who was smiling.
Having succeeded with her strike, Nadine quickly withdrew her legs and put them under the chair before
looking at Brad triumphantly.
She thought, “Scumbag!
“Let’s see how arrogant you can be now!”
When Sean heard Brad’s sharp intake of breath, he asked anxiously, “Daddy, what’s wrong?”
Brad then raised his hand and pinched Sean’s face.
