Chapter 849
Brad noticed Sebastian's cocky smile and had the urge to rip it off his face. But he
wasn't the kind of man who let his emotions get the better of him, and he certainly
wouldn't stoop to fighting Sebastian in front of a hotel.
He shot him a cold glance and spat through gritted teeth, "Where were you when
Nadine loved me? I bet you haven't even held her hand yet, have you?"
It was obvious Sebastian had feelings for Nadine. But he was too much of a
coward to confess. What a pathetic excuse for a man.
But then again, it was probably a good thing that Sebastian was too afraid to
confess. If he had, and Nadine agreed to be with him, that would be a real
disaster for Brad.
The smile on Sebastian's face froze. Brad's words cut deep, straight to the core.
He liked Nadine, but his feelings came with a constant fear. Fear that if he
confessed and was rejected, he'd lose even the tenuous friendship they shared.
Then, he'd lose the chance to be close to her altogether.
The more he cared, the more cautious he became. He was terrified that one
wrong move would upset her, and he'd lose the chance to be near her. Brad's jab
hit its mark, leaving a sharp ache in Sebastian's chest.
"Like you said, Mr. Hamilton, Nad was once your wife, and you lived together for
six years. But you still ended up divorced, didn't you? Does she still have feelings
for you? If she doesn't, then the rest of us have a chance.
"Everyone has a chance to go after Nadine, except for you." He beamed at Brad.
"Mr. Hamilton, right now, you're the person Nadine hates the most. I suggest you
show some kindness and stop provoking her." With that, he waved his hand in
dismissal. Ignoring Brad's expression, he turned and walked into the hotel.
The night wind rustled the trees, their shadows swaying under the dim streetlights.
The pale yellow light illuminated Brad's face.
Sebastian was right. Everyone had a chance to pursue Nadine, except for him.
Those words were cruel, yet they were true.
If it weren't for Sean, Nadine wouldn't even look at him. Standing under the
shifting shadows of the trees, his handsome face was etched with confusion and
regret.
...
It was well past midnight, and Sean had already fallen asleep. He was exhausted
from playing all day, his faint snores filling the room.
Nadine was still awake, organizing the day's notes. The sound of her son's gentle
snores and the night breeze outside filled her with a sense of tranquility.
Earlier, when they were out with
Sean, Sebastian had said something
that lingered in her mind. "Love is a
luxury. If you've ever experienced it,
you're already ahead of most people
in life. Many never even get a taste
of it.
"Whether it lasts depends on whether the other person loves you. And even if they
do, life's messy, day-to-day struggles can bring out the worst in both of you."
Nadine had to admit that Sebastian
had a point. Life was hard. Everyone
was busy with their own lives, and
love had become a luxury. Even if
one gave it their all, they didn't
always get the same in return.
For some people, simply
encountering love was already a
blessing in itself. When she loved
Brad, she gave it her all. She had no
regrets because she'd done right by
him. And that, more than anything,noveldrama
gave her peace of mind.
