Chapter 199
From the moment Nadine married Brad, she knew there would never be any heartwarming scenes between this father and son because Sean wasn’t Brad’s biological child.
How many men in this world would willingly raise someone else’s child? So she had no complaints, no matter how indifferent Brad was toward Sean.
It was precisely because of this that Sean had developed a deep affection and longing for Brad. Every time Nadine saw Sean’s hopeful eyes, she hoped Brad would indulge him, even if it was just for show.
But after Brad put on a facade, she felt it wasn’t right when she saw the sincere longing in Sean’s eyes.
When Jean returned to the country, Nadine’s dilemma only intensified. On the one hand, she hoped Brad would be a bit nicer to Sean and give Sean some fatherly love, even just a little bit.
On the other hand, she hoped Brad wouldn’t be too nice to Sean. That way, when they divorced, things would be simpler.
When she saw Brad playing with Sean, she couldn’t hold herself back anymore. It was as if her heart had been split in half. One half was immersed in icy seawater, while the other was in warm springs.
She didn’t know what to feel. She dared not approach Brad, afraid she wouldn’t be able to control her. feelings and fall for him again. Brad’s expression remained indifferent, showing neither particular joy nor displeasure.
He kept Sean in his arms while continuing to play with the blocks and showed no intention of letting go of Sean. Sean didn’t have the strength to break free, so he could only sit obediently in Brad’s arms.
He smiled at Nadine, who was approaching. “Mommy, you’re back! I missed you.”
As he spoke, he reached out to Nadine, hoping she would hug him. But Brad ruthlessly pulled him back.” Focus on what you’re doing, and don’t give up halfway.
Sean yielded to those words. He looked at Nadine with a look of grievance as he pointed to the pile of blocks in front of him, “Mommy, wait for me. I’ll come and play with you after I finish building this.”
Smiling, Nadine stroked his soft hair and kissed his cheek before saying affectionately, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.
Sean felt comforted and proud after her kiss. His happy smile expressed his contentment. “Mommy, I want to eat your cooking. Can you cook for me?”
How could Nadine refuse her precious son’s request? She smiled tenderly. “Of course, I’ll cook for you now.” With that, she turned and headed toward the kitchen.
Seeing that, the maid followed her in a hurry. “I’ll do it, Mrs. Hamilton. Or you can supervise in the kitchen, and I’ll do the cooking.”
Nadine was extremely surprised. “No need. I often cook these dishes, and since it’s for my son, I prefer to do it myself.”
