Chapter 482
Nadine wasn't paying attention to what was going on around her. All her attention was on Brad's cut as she carefully dabbed at it with an iodine swab.noveldrama
"I'm going to disinfect your wound now. It might sting a little. Try to bear with it," she said softly, as if she were treating any other patient.
Yet, he interpreted her words differently. He felt as if he were over the moon. Nadine still cared about him! Why would she be so gentle if she didn't?
Honestly, a small cut like this was nothing to him. He was doing her a favor by allowing her to tend to it. If it weren't for the fact that he was trying to get closer to her, he wouldn't have bothered at all.
Even though she was being as gentle as possible, he made a point of sucking in a sharp breath through his teeth. After all, the squeaky wheel got the grease.
If he didn't make it seem like it hurt, Nadine might actually believe it didn't. So, the moment the iodine touched his wound, he let out a long, drawn-out hiss.
Noticing his discomfort, she lightened her touch even more and even blew gently on the wound. "It'll be over in just a second." Once she was done disinfecting it, she applied a bandage over the cut. The whole process took less than 30 seconds.
Brad had already mapped out their entire future together in his head. He even pictured them in their twilight years, strolling hand in hand along the shore, their conversation filled with laughter and warmth.
Unlike Brad, Nadine didn't have nearly as many thoughts swirling in her mind. After patching him up, she walked over to the balcony and called out, "Let's get going, Sean, Grandpa."
She had planned the barbecue at the suburban villa to make Adam and Sean happy: Even though Brad suddenly appeared, it didn't affect her ip the slightest. As far as she was concerned, she and Brad W stiff a couple headed for divorce, with no emotional ties between them.
Adam turned around when he heard Nadine's voice, a smile spreading across his face. "You're done?"
Nadine nodded. "Yup. Let's get going! We need to hit the supermarket for groceries, prep the marinade, and get the grill going. If we don't leave now, we won't be eating before 2:00 pm."
Sean had listed off a whole bunch of foods he wanted to eat. Nadine did the math and realized it would take them over an hour just to buy the groceries. Plus, she needed time to marinate the chicken wings, pork belly, and beef.
Adam could tell from her expression that she was still intent on divorcing Brad. He shot daggers at his grandson, who was standing nearby. Brad looked at him quizzically, wondering what he had done wrong this time.
"Whatever you say, goes, Nad! Let's head out then. Sean, come with me, I'll take you to the car. Off we go!" Adam and Sean were the first to leave the ward Nadine and Travis followed behind. After receiving a withering glare from Adam, Brad scratched his nose and ambled after them.
Since there were quite a few of them, the driver had brought a seven-seater van. Adam sat in the front row with Sean, while Travis took a seat in the back. Nadine slid into the second row, and just as she was about to give the go-ahead, Brad slipped into the van
