Sean wasn't in Brad's arms anymore. Instead, he walked beside Brad with his arms crossed, occasionally glancing at the lipstick on his father's lips with a look of disdain.
But Brad didn't care. In fact, he was in a great mood. He believed Nadine was smiling because of his efforts, and that was enough to make him feel proud of himself.
As for the judgmental stares? They were none of his concern.
After hearing Sebastian's remarks, he felt no shame and actually took pride in his actions. "I'm just making my wife and son smile—what's it to you?"
As soon as his words fell, Sebastian's expression twisted in even greater disdain. "Brad, let's get one thing straight. Nadine is your ex-wife, not your wife! And that child isn't yours either!"
Back when Nadine was with him, he'd been too blind to cherish her; he'd never even called her his wife. Now that she wanted nothing to do with him, he had the nerve to show up in front of her to get her attention—what a disgrace!
Brad pressed the vehicle's central lock and smiled at Sebastian, who was walking toward them. "Sorry, but it's a family outing. I'm afraid there's no room for guests." With that, he revved the engine and took off, leaving Sebastian in a cloud of dust.
By the time Sebastian reached the spot where the car had been, it had already driven off, its wheels churning up dust that coated him in grime. He kicked at a stone beneath his foot and growled, "Just you wait, Brad Hamilton! I refuse to believe that Nadine could ever love you again!"
