Chapter 670
Daniel seemed helpless as he shook his head. "Jean's been on her best behavior recently, hasn't stirred up any trouble, and has been taking good care of Brad.
"Plus, it's the New Year. Her parents aren't around, and the poor girl's all alone. Evelyn pitied her, and honestly, it's just one meal. I'll let her do what she wants."
He continued, "I've already told her that Jean has to leave after dinner. No exceptions. And if it comes down to it, she can sit with the other family members instead of us."
As soon as his words fell, distant relatives began to pour into the residence.
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Grandpa!"
With so many people around, Adam felt it wasn't the right time to speak up. Plus,
it was just one meal. There was no way Jean could cause any serious trouble.
A lot of people came to wish Adam a happy new year, and as more guests arrived, the house became even livelier. When Gigi brought Jean in, someone spotted them right away and rushed over to get Jean's attention. "It's been a while, Ms. Sawyer! You look prettier than ever!"
Jean beamed at the compliment. "You look lovely as well today."
These people were enjoying the spectacle, convinced that Nadine was bound to be ditched by Brad. They believed that Jean would soon become the lady of the Hamilton family and that it was best to suck чето
to her now to get in her good graces.
The second floor was much quieter compared to the bustling atmosphere on the first floor. Nadine was playing with Sean in his room while Brad stood at the door, quietly watching them.noveldrama
He envied Sean. Sean had Nadine's undivided attention, a stark contrast to his own situation. He had broken her heart and couldn't find a way to win her back. His regret was eating him alive. Unfortunately, there was no cure for regret.
Sean was at that age where he loved to chat. He had heard from Keira that her mother was having a baby and might give her a little brothe So, he was especially keen on having a little sister. "Mommy, can you give me a little sister?" he asked.
Nadine had no idea where this was coming from and looked at him, puzzled. "Why do you want a little sister?"
Sean rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment before responding, "Why can't I ask for a little sister? A bunch of my classmates' moms are having babies. Why can't you have one, too?"
Nadine was at a loss for words. After giving it some thought, she explained, "Baby, I only have enough love for you, so just one of you is plenty if I had another, it would take away some of the love I have for you. You wouldn't want that, would you?"
Brad was still watching her intently from behind, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She couldn't come up with a better answer for Sean, so that was all she could muster.
Sean, however, didn't seem to buy it. "Keira said every mommy loves their kids unconditionally. How could you not love me, Mommy? Besides, if I had a little sister, you'd have one more person to love you! Wouldn't that be a good thing?"
Nadine was stumped. Noticing her struggle, Brad walked over and patted the little guy's shoulder. "It's not that simple, buddy. Your Mommy can't have another baby on her own."
