Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 448

"Your heart? Your time? Your money? Or your effort?"

Initially, Nadine hadn't meant to say this much, but in the heat of the moment, she couldn't help but blurt it all out. In the past, she was too scared to voice her thoughts because she was afraid of losing Brad. But now, she had nothing left to lose or to fear.

Her words were like a piercing arrow, striking deep into his heart. For a moment, Brad felt as if his heart had been impaled. Besides the pain, he felt hollow, as if a worm was devouring his heart from the inside out.

Brad bit his lip, his mind racing as he tried to formulate a response—but no words came. He stood rooted to the spot, staring into Nadine's eyes, speechless.

All the little things he once considered insignificant had now piled up into a mountain, crushing his chest and tugging at his nerves, making it hard to even breathe. His beautiful eyes gradually reddened with strain.

A bitter laugh escaped Nadine's lips as she registered his lack of response. "If you feel even the slightest bit sorry for me, then please just sign the divorce agreement. That would be the best way you can make it up to me."

Nadine was genuinely exhausted, both physically and mentally. If there were a scale for exhaustion, she would be at the extreme end of it.

Brad could feel his cold worsening. His nasal congestion made it hard for him to breathe. Even though she never explicitly called him out, her words were a reminder of all the ways he had failed her.

"So what if I'm a divorced woman? I'm financially independent, have a wonderful child, and am single and free. I can have any man I want. Getting divorced is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'd have to be out of my mind if I ever wanted to get married again.

"Isn't dating more exciting? I can be with someone I like—someone young, handsome, and good to me. I'll date to my heart's content and enjoy the feeling of being treated like a queen. What could be better than that?

"Why do I need to settle down again? If I'm having fun with a younger guy, I'll keep going. If not, I'll walk away without a second thought. That's the beauty of being single.

"As for marriage? Please, I'd have to be out of my mind to jump back into that grave!"
