Chapter 385 Nadine was about to say that she hadn't received any gift from Brad when she suddenly stopped herself. She swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Nadine remembered an incident when she visited her grandfather at the hospital ward back then. That day, Brad handed her a beautifully wrapped box and even apologized to her.
She opened that box at that time. However, the contents of the box looked identical to the jewelry set that Jean had publicly shown off online. Nadine had assumed that Brad, the jerk, had bought two of the sgift, one for Jean and one to placate her.
Nadine only remembered this incident after Cameron brought it up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt turned out that the jewelry set that Jean showed off online was picked out by Cameron. Suddenly, Nadine found Jean's manipulation skills to be quite impressive.
Brad was usually a man of few words. When they were together, she did most of the talking. She would be lucky if Brad responded even a little after listening for a few minutes.
So, when Jean flaunted the jewelry she received online, Brad likely wouldn't care. He certainly wouldn't have bothered to explain things to Nadine.
To that jerk, such trivial matters weren't worth his attention.
At that moment, Nadine understood that Jean was far from the naive, innocent woman she appeared to be. She was a master of manipulation.
No wonder she had health problems. It was exhausting to be scheming all the time.
Seeing that Nadine's expression had softened, Cameron quickly spoke up in Brad's defense, "Mrs. Hamilton, Mr. Hamilton is naturally a reserved person. He is distant from everyone. You surely know that it is just who he is.
"If you ask me, you shouldn't divorce him. Stick to him closely and drive those gold diggers outside crazy with jealousy!" Being an outsider gave him a clearer perspective than those who were directly involved. Cameron had worked alongside Brad for many years and knew his temperament well. If Brad didn't care about her, he wouldn't have dragged out the divorce for so long.
Men like Brad were generally proud and despised explaining themselves. They preferred to solve problems in the simplest and most direct ways. They never considered the need to communicate properly. Brad would lose his wife if he continued in such a manner.
Cameron didn't want Nadine to be replaced by someone else.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the current lady of the family, she was kind and gentle. Moreover, she was considerate of the employees and never burdened them unnecessarily. How great was that? If Jean were to be the new Mrs. Hamilton, they might all end up dying young from exhaustion. They would be worked to death without rest! Nadine turned to Cameron and gave him a meaningful look. "Save your breath. Getting a divorce is final! Don't think that I'll change my mind just because Brad gavea few trinkets!" Cameron wanted to persuade her further, but Nadine waved him off dismissively. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "If it were you, would you be able to withstand staying outside all night in the dead of winterby giving you a single matchstick for warmth?" Cameron's lips twitched, but he was at a loss for words.
Nadine checked Brad's breathing and made sure that he was breathing steadily.
Then, she spoke again, "The relationship between Brad and I is
like a cold winter night. A single matchstick isn't going to help much. The thick frost that eroded our relationship accumulated over time, and it's not something that happened overnight. So, don't bother trying to get us to reconcile."
In the end she put on a stern expression and said solemnly, "I'm warning you. We qax still be friends as long as you stop bringing Brad into the conversation. If you mention him again, we're done!" With that, Nadine tossed her hair and headed for the bedroom door. "I'm starving! Where's the food you prepared for me?" Cameron didn't dare delay any longer and had the bodyguards quickly bring in the meal they had prepared.
Nadine was dying of hunger. She abandoned her ladylike demeanon and devoured the food greedily. The four dishes and soup on the table were completely cleaned out by her. Nadine wiped her mouth, feeling dissatisfied. She reached for her phone instinctively and realized that she must have dropped it somewhere.
She turned to Cameron and pouted, "I'm still hungry." To Cameron, Nadine was like royalty.
