Chapter 848
The first word Sean ever said was "Dada". Unfortunately, back then, Brad was too
busy with work to play with him. By the time he got home every day, he was too
exhausted to deal with anything else. All he wanted was some peace and quiet.
Hence, Brad barely spent any time with Sean until he was old enough to attend
kindergarten. Like most children, Sean longed for his father's love and attention.
There were times when he would beg Brad to spend time with him, but Brad, not
knowing how to handle a child, would usually run off and turn to Nadine for help.
Nadine assumed Brad didn't like Sean and stopped pushing. She took care of
everything related to Sean and never bothered Brad. Gradually, Sean got used to
having only his mom around and felt that he didn't really need his dad.
Hence, when the little one said those words, Brad's heart missed a beat. Nadine
had once told him, "Even though Sean isn't your biological son, I still hope you
could at least pretend to care for him. Don't be so cold to him. It'll hurt his
feelings."
Back then, he had answered, "A lie is still a lie, regardless if it's out of kindness or
malice. I absolutely hate lying!"
After that conversation, Nadine had left the room with tears in her eyes. From that
moment on, she never bothered him again about Sean.
Even though they lived under the same roof as a family of three, they lived
separate lives-like strangers sharing a house. It felt like they were divorced in
spirit, though not yet on paper.
There were moments when Brad
regretted how he'd treated Nadinenoveldrama
and Sean He regretted not being
kinder to Nadine and Sean when the
had the chance. But it was too late
now. The damage was done and he
couldn't turn back time.
Brad glanced at Nadine. Her expression was distant, her eyes cold, as if he was
nothing more than a stranger to her. Realizing she didn't like him, he turned to
Sean and called out, "Come here, Sean."
Sean glanced at Sebastian, then at Nadine, and asked, "Mommy, can I go over to
Daddy?" In truth, Sean didn't really like his dad, but the pleading look in Brad's
eyes was hard to ignore.
Nadine walked over and stroked her son's head. "It's up to you, Sean. If you want
to, go right ahead. If not, we can head back to our room and rest."
Sean had been running around all afternoon and was already tired. Nadine was
just as exhausted and wanted to get back to the hotel, take a hot shower, and get
some sleep.
Sean reached out, took his mom's hand, and suddenly felt a lot braver. He looked
at Brad and said, "I don't want to. Mommy and I are tired. I want to sleep."
He then led Nadine toward the hotel entrance. "Bye, Daddy," he called over his
shoulder, not bothering to see how Brad reacted. Hand in hand, the pair walked
off without a backward glance.
Sebastian didn't stop them. After
watching them enter the hotel
through the revolving doors, he
approached Brad with a smug smile.
"Mr. Hamilton, you had your chance
with Nadine, and you blew it Now
it's your turn to feel what she felt."
Sebastian had done his homework.
He was aware of most details
regarding Brad and Nadine's history.
He wasn't entirely sure why Brad
had agreed to the divorce, but he
was glad it happened. With Brad out
of the picture, others finally had a
chance to be with Nadine.
