Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 4

The bright lights cast Tyler's face in sharp relief. Even without lifting her gaze, Nadine could feel the intensity of his stare bearing down on her.

Her marriage had been doomed from the start. She wouldn't be in this mess now if she hadn't insisted on marrying Brad.

There was never any true connection between her and Brad, it was all her stubbornness driving them forward.

Now, Tyler's question hit a raw nerve deep within her fragile heart. It unsettled her deeply.

Nadine didn't know how to respond. She sighed softly and lowered her head in silence.

Tyler's question was a soul-searching one for her. Initially, she believed that if she just treated Brad well enough, she could melt even the coldest heart.

Now, Nadine understood that Brad wasn't simply cold-hearted. He was icy, unyielding, and only capable of inflicting pain on her. After years, she was now covered in wounds, both visible and invisible.

Nadine's silence made Tyler's heart ache even more. He looked at her delicate face and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"Nadine, can't you tell? Brad doesn't love you at all!"

Despite spending the past five years studying abroad without contacting Nadine, he had always kept tabs on her life. He would often inquire about her recent status through mutual acquaintances.

Tyler knew some details about her married life.

"Nadine, why did you marry Brad? Because he didn't love you? Because he neglected you? Because he loved Jean?"

Nadine remained silent, biting her lip tightly, her face drained of color. She panicked and took a few steps back to avoid Tyler's piercing gaze. She lowered her head like a child caught misbehaving.

"I… My life is none of your business! It's none of your concern!"

Suddenly confronted with painful truths, years of suppression and frustration erupted within Nadine. The wounds that she had buried deep inside were suddenly exposed by Tyler, causing excruciating pain.

But Nadine remained stubborn, standing straight, refusing to let her tears fall.

Seeing her endure this pain, Tyler's heart ached even more.

He approached Nadine and softened his tone. "Nadine, I'm sure you know your worth. After enduring so much, haven't you ever considered divorce?

"Brad can't see your worth. He doesn't appreciate you. But don't you value yourself?"

Tyler's penetrating questions left Nadine at a loss for words. She clenched her jaw, holding back the tears. Her eyes reddened, with her damp lashes casting shadows beneath her eyes, accentuating her fragility.

It was gut-wrenching. Tyler felt a stab of pain in his heart as he extended his arms, wanting to offer her comfort with a hug. But… Nadine avoided him.

"Tyler, if there's nothing else, I'll bring Sean back now," she said hurriedly.

Tyler witnessed all her vulnerabilities and weaknesses, things she never intended for anyone to see. Her first instinct was to flee.

Seeing her startled, lips pale, Tyler couldn't bring himself to press further.
