Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 781

Perhaps she was shaken—or the memories of the past overwhelmed her—but Nadine suddenly felt drained, as if every ounce of energy had left her. She couldn't bring herself to listen to Brad's explanation anymore.

Reflecting on the painful memories of their failed marriage, Nadine felt her heart twist with agony. She wanted nothing more than to leave this place—to get as far away from Brad as possible and to retreat home, where she could curl up like a snail in its shell and avoid everyone and everything. Especially Brad.

Brad wanted to explain himself further, but when he noticed her worn-out expression, he swallowed the words that had been on the tip of his tongue. It was clear that she didn't want to talk anymore, so he didn't push it.

Brad opened the car door and gently shielded her head with one hand as she got in. Once she was seated, he walked around to the other side, opened the door, and climbed in.

As soon as she was inside the car, Nadine closed her eyes, her face etched with fatigue. She felt completely drained and just wanted some peace and quiet.

Sean looked at his mother's weary face and immediately turned to his father, pointing at Nadine and silently asking, "Did you make Mommy upset?"

Brad smiled wryly and shook his head, unsure of how to respond. He could tell that no matter how hard he tried to explain himself, Nadine still believed he was defending Jean. He wished he could reach into her heart, erase Jean's name, and replace it with his own.

Sean could tell from Brad's demeanor that he had upset Nadine again. However, he chose not to say anything and sidled up to Nadine, wrapping his arms around hers and nestling against her.

Sebastian, knowing Nadine was feeling down, brought Nadine and Sean fishing over the weekend, claiming it would uplift their spirits and teach them patience. After accompanying Nadine to visit Adam, he drove the two of them to the lakeside.

"Trust me, Nad. Don't think about anything else. Just clear your mind and soak in the sunshine. I promise you'll feel refreshed after fishing! And if that doesn't work, I'll make it my mission to cheer you up and make you laugh. Deal?"

Ever since he learned about Brad and Nadine's divorce, Sebastian had been showing up in front of her almost every day, showering her with attention. He was single, and she was divorced; they were both available.

Even if they got together, no one could say anything about it. And if anyone had an issue with it, Sebastian would personally deal with them.
