Chapter 890
Nadine could tell that Brad was fuming, and she knew better than to confront him head-on.
Plastering a bright smile on her face, she responded, "Oh, so I'm the first woman who's ever rejected you? Well, I'm truly honored! Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Mr. Hamilton. Alas, once there's a first, there will be a second and a third."
She was in Brad's car, and she knew she was no match for him in terms of strength. All she could do was tread lightly and avoid provoking him too much.
Nadine was smiling so brightly. Even though his anger still simmered beneath the surface, her radiant smile managed to dampen the flames-if only slightly.
"Fine, I don't want to beat around the bush. Let me get straight to the point. Ever since we divorced, life hasn't felt right. Is there any chance we could go back to how things were?"
Nadine gaped at him, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief. When had Brad ever said something so cheesy? It couldn't be true! Either he had an ulterior motive, or he was up to no good.
Her clear, almond-shaped eyes stared into his for what felt like an eternity, unsure of what to say or how to respond. Noticing her silence, he repeated himself. "I meant every word. Can't we... go back to the way things used to be?"
Ever since their separation, he had done a lot of thinking. What
unsettled him the most was
Nadine's absence and how
everything remained as it usenet

Nadine was so stunned that she didn't know how to react. She only snapped out of it when the car rolled over a speed bump. Her body tensed up as she looked at Brad warily
at is it you're really after, Brad? Drop the act. Spare me your sob story about missing me.Þknow what you want-revenge!
"I admit that I once saw you as a replacement for Jack because you look so much alike. For a while, I even thought you were him. But eventually, I could easily tell the two of you apart, and I never confused you two again. You're you, and Jack's Jack.
"It's fine if you want to get back at me. You can do whatever you want, but please don't use matters of the heart to exact revenge!"

felt like a knife to her heart. It wasn't
just Brad who was shaken by it; even Nadine the one who allegedly
benefited from the marriage was disturbed by it. She could only imagine how that made Brad feel.
If Brad wanted to get back at her, she'd accept it. But she didn't want him to use her emotions against her. Her heart was already broken beyond repair, and she couldn't endure another blow.
Brad froze, surprised that she had figured out his intentions. For a moment, he felt flustered. He instructed his driver in the front seat, "Stop the car!"
Once the car came to a stop, he yanked Nadine out of the backseat and strode forward without saying a word. He didn't stop until they reached a large oak tree.
