Chapter 281
The crystal chandelier cast a bright light on Nadine and Brad at the dining table.
From Nadine's perspective, she could see Brad's dark hair.
It was slightly wavy, and some loose strands of hair covered his eyebrows, softening his otherwise sharp figure.
His hair was smooth. It exuded a faint scent of shampoo, a fragrance Nadine was familiar with.
At that moment, Nadine was standing while Brad was sitting.
She could clearly see his chiseled face, the sharp lines of his jaw, which were as perfect as a statue, and his deep black eyes that glimmered with a cold light. He was staring fixedly at her.
His gaze made her feel uneasy.
After hearing Brad's words, the maids hurriedly cleared the table in fear of getting reprimanded.
In just seconds, the dining area was spotless. Nadine and Brad were left alone.
Nadine wanted to leave, but Brad trapped her legs again. Suppressing her frustration, she asked him to release her. "Brad, I've fed you as you wished already. What else do you want? You only took a knife for me. You're neither sick nor disabled. Why are you making things difficult for me? Besides, you didn't only save me, you also saved Gigi. It's a win-win situation. Why do you have to keep torturing me?"
If she was capable, she'd have given him a piece of her mind by now.
Brad had repeatedly hurt her and given her false hope.
The disappointments had left her heart battered and bruised. She had
experienced too much, and it was a disaster.
Nadine wasn't afraid of Brad getting angry at her, but she feared his kindness.
Sometimes, she was worried that she might be losing her sanity.
Despite her subdued tone, Brad didn't let up. Instead, he suddenly pulled her towards him.
Caught off guard, Nadine found herself in his embrace. Brad's strong arms secured her.
He then grabbed her waist and forcefully pulled her onto his lap.
"Why are you panicking? I'm not going to eat you."
He enjoyed seeing Nadine flustered. She looked like a little rabbit. Although she was startled, her eyes were tender and soft.noveldrama
Brad held Nadine close, inhaling the faint scent of her body wash. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, savoring the aroma.
Startled, Nadine let out a yelp.
When she realized she was sitting on Brad's tap, she jumped up. "Brad, what are you doing? Let go of me! There are so many maids in the
house, and you're being shameless. I still have some self-respect!"
She wondered what on earth was Brad up to now.
If it weren't for his injured hand, she would have bitten him again.
However, Brad showed no sign of releasing her. His hands were like iron clamps, holding her slim waist firmly.
No matter how hard Nadine struggled, she couldn't break free.
Brad chuckled softly at her mention of the maids. "Are you feeling shy? Look around. It's just the two of us here. The maids are gone. As for Sean, don't worry about him. He's got bodyguards with him, and he'll be so engrossed in playing that he won't have time to look for you."
Reflecting on how Evelyn and Gigi had treated Nadine, Brad suddenty realized he had never truly cared about Nadine's life or well-being. He had never paid attention to her feelings.
Now, he was suddenly eager to understand everything about her.
He wanted to know her thoughts and feelings.
