Chapter 777
A certain self-proclaimed relationship expert named Alex once told Brad, "If you're pursuing a woman who doesn't feel the same way about you and ignores you, it's time to change your approach.
"Instead of chasing her relentlessly, you should try to get under her skin and make her so furious that she cries and can't forget you. That's when you know you've succeeded."
Back then, Brad had scoffed at those ridiculous words and dismissed them. But now, he suddenly found them fitting, especially when it came to his situation with Nadine.
Nadine was the kind of woman who always followed her family's expectations to a fault. Aside from her stubbornness and rebellious spirit, she was practically perfect.
If he had to point out another flaw, it would probably be that she was emotionally distant from her family. But that wasn't her fault.
After all, with a mother like Jennifer, who treated her daughter so callously, it was no surprise that Nadine didn't see her as a mom. Had she not been Nadine's biological mother, he would have thrown that old hag into the sea, leaving her to drift for days on end.
Realizing he had successfully provoked her, he felt a surge of accomplishment. He taunted her, "Hit me if you're that upset!" With that, he quickened his pace and walked away.
Nadine glanced at the man's retreating figure, her hands balling into fists. "Don't stoop to a fool's level. Fools are foolish, after all," she muttered to herself.
Nadine was surprised by Brad's demeanor. Was this seriously the same cold and aloof Brad she knew? The drastic change in his behavior almost made her jaw drop, and she stood frozen in place for a long while before she finally regained her senses.noveldrama
This was too frightening! Did he have a split personality?
When she walked into the hospital room, she found Adam conversing with Sean while holding his hand. He noticed her and Brad entering one after the other and couldn't help but smite. "You're here, Nad, Brad! Come, sit down!"
His condition had stabilized, and although he was still in the ICU, the severity of his illness had decreased. Consequently, the nurses allowed the three of them to visit at the same time.
"Grandpa!" both of them called out simultaneously.
As soon as Nadine heard Brad's voice, she hurriedly silenced herself and pressed her lips together. He casually glanced her way and let out a soft snort.
Adam saw the subtle interaction between them. When he realized his useless grandson had finally wised up, he couldn't help but beam with joy. "I'm so happy you both came to see me. Promise me you'll come visit often from now on, okay?"
Brad readily agreed, "Sure thing! Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll be sure to bring Sean
and Nad to see you more often!"
Nadine glared at Brad, furious that he had made a promise on her behalf. Who did this arrogant man think he was? Why was he agreeing on her behalf? She could visit Adam on her own. She didn't need him to bring her here! sŵnovel
However, she didn't want to add to Adam's worries, so she chose not to argue
with Brad and simply smiled it off.
