Classic Novel
Chapter 197
Sean had been playing alone for most of the day. When he suddenly saw Brad sitting beside him, he frowned unhappily.
This morning, he had barely woken up when Brad whisked him away to this place before he could even go to the bathroom. He had to hold it the whole way and nearly wet his pants.
After Brad brought him home, he didn’t even play with him. Instead, he handed him over to the maids as soon as they arrived. Brad went to the study on his own and didn’t bother to accompany him.
What was the point of bringing him home if he wasn’t going to spend time with him? Was it fun like that? Did Brad not know that kids have feelings, too?
Before, Nadine always told Sean, “Sean, you have to be a good boy. Don’t make Daddy angry. He’s very busy with work and doesn’t have time to play with you. Don’t be mad at him, okay?”
At that time, he really liked Brad and hoped Brad would play with him. But whenever he saw Brad’s stern face, no matter how much he longed for fatherly love, he chose to stay away from him.
Recently, Nadine and Brad had been having a fierce argument about divorce. Although Nadine always said that it was adults‘ business and he should interfere, Sean couldn’t shake the feeling that Nadine wasn’t happy.
He didn’t want Nadine to be unhappy, so even though he longed for fatherly love, he learned to let go. He wanted Nadine to always be by his side and didn’t want her to be sad.
It was
the same Brad he liked who made Nadine so sad, so he quietly told himself, “I don’t need Daddy. I just need Mommy.
The living room had underfloor heating, so the place was very warm and cozy. Despite it being winter, the house felt as warm as spring. Sean only needed to wear a thin set of pajamas.
After being forcibly brought home by Brad, he changed into his pajamas by himself and sat on the floor, playing with building blocks. By now, he had built a castle and was working on another smaller one.
But when he saw Brad coming over, he immediately became unhappy.
He cast a sideways glance at Brad sitting beside him and muttered softly. “Daddy, you’re a grown–up. You probably don’t like kids‘ toys. You shouldn’t sit here…”
Sean felt like Brad was bothering him. Ever since he learned that Nadine wanted to divorce Brad, he no longer harbored any fantasies about him. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
As long as Nadine was happy, he’d do just fine without Brad. He didn’t mind being a kid without a father.
Ignoring Sean’s refusal, Brad plopped down beside him and casually knocked down the castle Sean had built.
“You didn’t build it well. I’ll help you rebuild it.” His tone was full of command, leaving no room for argument.

Brad completely ignored Sean’s displeased gaze and pulled Sean into his arms.
It was supposed to be a loving scene, but Sean rolled his eyes and broke free from his embrace. “This is not fun! I don’t want to play anymore!”
He stood up to go upstairs, but Brad didn’t give him a chance to leave. With his long arm, he pulled Sean back and forcibly made him sit in his lap before holding him tightly.
“Kids need to behave. No one likes naughty kids. Don’t you want Mommy anymore?”
Taken aback by his question, Sean stared at him wide–eyed. Though he was refusing Brad verbally, he
didn’t move an inch.
