Chapter 167
Brad was an impatient man who never waited for anyone. Wherever he went, it was always others waiting. for him. Even when he had dates with Jean, she always waited and accommodated his schedule.
Thinking Nadine might come to the company to find him, he eagerly waited for her in the office for over
two hours. He never expected that not only did she not show up, but she also deliberately kept her distance from him.
The moment he finally saw Nadine, his pent–up anger burst forth. Without even greeting Adam, he rushed to Nadine and grabbed her delicate wrist like a pair of pliers. He then dragged her away without a word.
Meanwhile, Cameron silently prayed for Nadine’s well–being in his heart as he walked towards Adam. “Mr. Hamilton Senior.”
Adam glanced at him, then at Nadine being dragged away by Brad. He asked, “What’s going on?”
Cameron recounted the incident in the office exactly as it had happened. “Mr. Hamilton Senior, this is all just a misunderstanding on Mr. Hamilton’s part. At times like this, you should help Mrs. Hamilton.”
Cameron actually quite liked Nadine because she never put on airs with him and always treated him with respect. She never regarded him as Brad’s lackey.
On the other hand, Jean always treated him as if he were Brad’s lackey. She made him run errands and do odd jobs. Yet, he had no choice but to comply for the sake of keeping his job and the high salary Brad offered him.
It was because he saw the kindness in Nadine that he especially hoped Brad and Nadine would stay together and not get divorced. This sometimes led him to unconsciously favor Nadine in his actions.
After listening to Cameron’s words, Adam smiled and stroked his white beard, saying, “I didn’t expect you to have such good taste. You know that Nadine is a nice girl.
“Alright, just for that, I’ll have your back from now on! You don’t want to get involved in their disputes, right? Now I’m giving you a chance.
“Take Sean out to play, but don’t go too far. Come back in a while, and I guarantee the brat won’t scold you.”
Cameron wanted to eavesdrop, but he was afraid Brad might lash out at him: Hence, he kept himself away, not daring to watch the show.
Although he was interested, he controlled himself. Now, with Adam’s assurance, he quickly made up his mind.
He strode over to Sean and said, “Mr. Sean, how about I bring you out to play? A pretty lady is playing on the slide over there. Shall we go look for her?”
Sean turned his face away, crossed his arms, and huffed like an adult. “I don’t want to leave! I want to stay and protect Mommy!”
He saw Brad angrily dragging Nadine away just now. Who knew if Brad would bully his mother? Sear’s stubbornness left Cameron at a loss.
Gritting his teeth, he carried Sean behind a thick tree trunk and stole a glance at Nadine and Brad. “Mr. Sean, please don’t make a sound. Let’s just watch quietly.”
Sean arrogantly turned his face away and ignored him. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Brad dragged Nadine for quite a distance. No matter how she struggled or slapped Brad’s hand, it was futile. Eventually, Brad stopped, and they both halted.
Staring at her wrist, which was now red from being squeezed, Nadine glared indignantly at the man, who was a full head taller than herself.
She loudly questioned him, “Brad Hamilton, what’s gotten into you again? If there’s something wrong with your brain, go to a psychiatric hospital or go find Jean. Why bother coming to piss me off? You’re so annoying!”
These past few days, she had pondered about many things. She knew Brad would never fall in love with her, so she kept telling herself not to let Brad affect her emotions anymore.
She knew she would only truly move on when she felt nothing meeting Brad. She told herself not to get all
agitated. Clearly, her efforts over the past few days had failed.
When Brad grabbed her wrist and dragged her away just now, she experienced a change in emotions. This shouldn’t be happening!
