NovelUSAChapter 849 Brad noticed Sebastian's cocky smile and had the urge to rip it off his face. But he wasn't the kind of man who let his emotions get the better of him, and he certainly wouldn't stoop to fighting Sebastian in front of a hotel.
He shot him a cold glance and spat through gritted teeth, "Where were you when Nadine loved me? I bet you haven't even held her hand yet, have you?" It was obvious Sebastian had feelings for Nadine. But he was too much of a coward to confess. What a pathetic excuse for a man.
But then again, it was probably a good thing that Sebastian was too afraid to confess. If he had, and Nadine agreed to be with him, that would be a real disaster for Brad.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe smile on Sebastian's face froze. Brad's words cut deep, straight to the core. He liked Nadine, but his feelings cwith a constant fear. Fear that if he confessed and was rejected, he'd lose even the tenuous friendship they shared. Then, he'd lose the chance to be close to her altogether.
The more he cared, the more cautious he became. He was terrified that one wrong move would upset her, and he'd lose the chance to be near her. Brad's jab hit its mark, leaving a sharp ache in Sebastian's chest.
"Like you said, Mr. Hamilton, Nad was once your wife, and you lived together for six years. But you still ended up divorced, didn't you? Does she still have feelings for you? If she doesn't, then the rest of us have a chance.
"Everyone has a chance to go after Nadine, except for you." He beamed at Brad. "Mr. Hamilton, right now, you're the person Nadine hates the most. I suggest you show skindness and stop provoking her." With that, he waved his hand in dismissal. Ignoring Brad's expression, he turned and walked into the hotel.
The night wind rustled the trees, their shadows swaying under the dim streetlights. The pale yellow light illuminated Brad's face.
Sebastian was right. Everyone had a chance to pursue Nadine, except for him. Those words were cruel, yet they were true.
If it weren't for Sean, Nadine wouldn't even look at him. Standing under the shifting shadows of the trees, his handsface was etched with confusion and regret.
It was well past midnight, and Sean had already fallen asleep. He was exhausted from playing all day, his faint snores filling the room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNadine was still awake, organizing the day's notes. The sound of her son's gentle snores and the night breeze outside filled her with a sense of tranquility.
Earlier, when they were out with Sean, Sebastian had said something that lingered in her mind. "Love is a luxury. If you've ever experienced it, you're already ahead of most people in life. Many never even get a taste of it.
"Whether it lasts depends on whether the other person loves you And even if they
do, life's messy, day-to-day struggles can bring out the worst in both of out the worst your Nadine had to admit that Sebastian had a point. Life was hard. Everyone was busy with their own lives, and love had beca luxury. Even if one gave it their all, they didn't always get the sin return. For speople, simply encountering love was already a blessing in itself. When she loved
Brad, she gave it her all. She had no regrets because she'd done right by him. And that, more than anything, gave her peace of mind.
