Brad had been lying in the hospital the past few days and during that time, he thought about a lot of things.
Even though thousands of proverbial miles stood between him and Nadine, he still wanted to give it his best shot to win her back. If he genuinely failed to win her back, at least he had tried, and he wouldn't have any regrets in the future.
Nadine glanced at him coldly before turning away, her back to him. "Even if a broken mirror is put back together, the cracks will remain. What's the point of holding on to a false sense of happiness?"
Avery had told her that Brad had locked Jean away. Yet, she had seen Jean come and go freely from the Hamilton manor and Brad's hospital room. If that wasn't favoritism, what was? Hence, she had to turn him down. Her wounded heart could withstand no more pain.
"Brad, I've never asked anything of you before. Can I ask you for just one thing now? Can you divorce me as soon as possible and give me the divorce certificate?" She had always demanded that he divorce her. But this time, she pleaded instead.
Brad inhaled sharply. Her words were like a bucket of ice water, drenching him from head to toe, leaving him chilled to the bone.
He had already imagined what their life would be like after reconciling and how he would win her back. He had built entire scenarios in his head, stories that would fill hundreds of pages.
Nadine smiled and helped her son tidy up the toys scattered on the floor. It didn't take long for them to put everything back in its place. Hand in hand, they prepared to head upstairs to the playroom on the third floor.
To get there, they had to pass Brad. As they approached, they heard him fuming at Jean, "How many times do I have to tell you to stop hovering around me? Whether I'm healthy or not is none of your business!
"The only reason you're even here today is because of my mother, so know your place! You're just a guest—don't overstep your boundaries. Got it?"
