Chapter 160
Hearing the woman’s soft sobbing on the other end of the line, Brad took a deep breath. “Jean, don’t cry. I’ll come over right away.”
After that, he went to the walk–in closet, quickly got dressed, and headed to the bathroom to let Nadine know he was leaving.
However, the bathroom door was closed and hadn’t opened since. The sound of running water was the only thing that filled the air.
He tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge. So, he called out, “I have to go out for a bit.”
There was no response. Under the shower, Nadine heard his words and knew who he was going to see.
Though she wanted to stop him, she remained silent. She didn’t have the right to stop him. After all, she was no longer his wife.
Brad had never cared about her feelings. He wouldn’t care even if she was still her wife. The knocking soon stopped while the sound of rushing water continued.
As everything quieted down, Nadine’s heart sank. She calmly dried her hair and went to the dining room. Seeing the half–eaten cake, she let out a cold laugh and tossed it into the trash without hesitation.
A sense of vindictive satisfaction rose within her, lifting her spirits a bit.
She approached the night–duty maid and said, “You can all take the night off. We don’t need you here. Starting tomorrow, you don’t have to come.”
She had overheard Brad scolding the maids on her behalf while she was in the kitchen earlier. Although she didn’t come out at the time, the gesture had warmed her heart.
Knowing that he cared enough to stand up for her had made her incredibly happy. Now, she realized she was too easily moved..
