Please Give Me Another Chance Mrs Hamilton

After saying that, Nadine chose to remain silent. She knew that Jean was Brad's Achilles' heel.

Anyone who mentioned her was bound to get burned. Sensing that the man across from her was about to lose his temper, she wisely clamped her mouth shut, pretending nothing had happened as she focused on her food.

Brad, however, casually responded, "I don't love her!"

Her eyes shot upward. It was as if she had just heard something incredibly shocking. Disbelief clouded her gaze.

Brad, as if anticipating her reaction, looked straight into her amber eyes and added, "Believe it or not, I've kept her locked away since she drugged me." It was his father's decision, but it was his, too.

Regarding the incident where Nadine and Sean were almost run over by a car, Jessie had turned herself in, accepting full responsibility and even providing evidence. Consequently, Jean was completely off the hook.

If she was guilty of anything, it was only of drugging Brad and using illegal substances. Even if convicted, she would probably only serve a couple of weeks in jail.

That would be far too kind to her. Hence, Brad and Daniel agreed that keeping Jean confined in their house's basement, where she was fed just enough to survive, was far more punishing than sending her to prison.

"Besides, she's now officially my older sister. Siblings can't get married," he continued, knowing Nadine had always been sensitive about Jean. He wanted to put her mind at ease, or at least try.

When Nadine got up to pay at the register, she was told, "The gentleman at your table has already taken care of it."

Brad strolled over with Sean and

Nadine reluctantly muttered, "Thank you."

He graciously accepted her gratitude. "No worries. You can treat me to a meal next time."

She was at a loss for words. Great, now she had to share another meal with him. That calculating man sure knew how to play his cards.

Her reaction was just what he had expected Brad didn't seem bothered at all as he held Sean's hand and said, "Sean wants to go to the hospital to visit his Grandpa Adam. Come on, let's go together

Sean looked up at Nadine. "That's right, Mommy. We haven't seen Grandpa Adam

in forever! I miss him!"

Nadine pursed her lips and shot Brad a sharp look. She couldn't shake the feeling that he was doing this on purpose.
