Chapter 847
Brad heard the sound of tires rolling behind him. He, who was on the phone, immediately turned around and spotted Sebastian's flashy yellow Lamborghini.
As soon as he saw Nadine get out of the car, he hung up on Alex without saying goodbye. He then walked toward Nadine and Sean.
Sebastian had spent the entire afternoon with Nadine and Sean. They'd played to their hearts' content, then capped off the day with dinner at a nice restaurant. Nadine and Sean seemed happy, their faces lit with uncontainable smiles.
Unaware of Brad lurking in the shadows, Sebastian continued chatting with Nadine, laughter punctuating their conversation. He was telling her a riddle. "What has keys but can't open locks?"
Nadine pondered for a moment but couldn't come up with an answer. So, she gave up and asked, "Uh... a keyboard?"
Sebastian shook his head. "Nope! It's a piano, because it has keys, but it can't open locks!"
Nadine burst into laughter, her hearty laughter echoing through the quiet night. Brad could hear every note of it from where he stood.
He had never known that Nadine could laugh like that. In his memory, she was a quiet, timid woman who would stand before him, barely speaking above a whisper. Even when she did smile, it was always a tight-lipped smile. She'd never laughed out loud.
Her loud, carefree laughter made Brad's chest tighten. He took a deep breath and approached Nadine, who was lost in laughter. "Nadine!"
His blood boiled as he watched her laugh so freely with Sebastian. Who did Sebastian think he was? How dare he try to steal what was his?noveldrama
Nadine noticed a tall figure emerging from the shadows, and the smile on her face vanished in an instant. Looking coldly at the man walking toward her, she called out, "Brad? You seriously don't know when to give up, do you?"
She'd thought she'd made herself clear—there was no going back for them. Not in this lifetime. She would never make the same mistake again. So, what was he doing here?
Her attitude was far from friendly, and impatience was written all over her face. Nadine had thought Brad would have given up on her after being rejected, but no. She'd only just gotten out of the car, and there he was. Talk about bad luck!
Brad could hear the displeasure in
her voice, but he was unfazed. He
kept a faint smile on his face as he
walked up to her. He ignored her
barbs and turned his attention to
Sebastian. "You seem to have a lot
of free time, Mr. Caldwell. What's
going on? Did you decide to stop
handling your business in
Chillnada?"
All of a sudden, he couldn't help but
resent his grandfather. If Adam
hadn't brought Sebastian into the
picture, none of this would've
happened. It was painfully obvious
that Nadine was into Sebastian.
Adam would regret it one day if she
really ended up with him.
Sebastian didn't take Brad's snide remarks seriously. He stroked Sean's round little head and smiled. "There's always more business to be done and more money to be made, but nothing is more important than spending time with your family."
He then patted Sean's head. "What do you think, buddy? Don't you wish your mom and dad could be with you more?"
Sean, who had enjoyed his time with
Sebastian, didn't seem to mind the
gesture. He grinned at him. "You're
right, Mr. Caldwell! I'd really love for
both my mommy and daddy to
spend time with me. But Mommy
said Daddy's too busy, so it's fine as
long as she's with me."
