Nadine was perfectly composed. Not a hint of emotion stirred in her eyes, as if Brad was just a mere stranger to her. She didn't seem to be fazed by him at all.
She soon handed the phone back to Tyler. Not looking upset at all, she said, "Tyler, I don't like seeing such things. You don't need to make a point of telling me how much Brad likes Jean. I'm more aware of that than you are."
She even sounded calm, as if she were discussing someone else's affairs.
Tyler took his phone back in surprise. Gazing at her serene face, he couldn't help but ask, "Nad, do you really not care about Brad anymore?"
He knew that Nadine had signed the divorce papers and that Brad's true love was Jean. So, he found it odd that Brad had been stalling his divorce.
What was he trying to do? Did he really want to have both his wife and mistress by his side?
Since he loved Jean, why didn't he carry on with the divorce proceedings when Nadine brought it up? It seemed contradictory.
Nadine didn't immediately answer his question. Instead, she meticulously cleaned up the cake crumbs on the table and swept them into the dustbin. She repeated this until the table was spotless.
Only then did she meet Tyler's gaze and say, "Tyler, my care can't change certain things and people. It's like waiting for a ship at an airport—you know it'll never come, yet you still wait in vain.
"There was never any love between Brad and I. I was just holding on. But now, I can't do it anymore. When the house has collapsed, what's the point of keeping the foundation?
