Nadine couldn't understand Brad. She thought she was doing him and Jean a favor by divorcing him, allowing him to be with the woman he loved. So, how did she end up being the bad guy here?
That jerk couldn't possibly be attempting to have it both ways, could he? Realizing that he was attempting to have his cake and eat it too, she instinctively took a step back. Her body tensed up, and she adopted a defensive stance. Her gaze turned cold as well.
Brad had never been one to back down, not even when he was having a heart attack. Hence, when he made such a huge compromise yet she still wasn't satisfied, it made him see her in a whole new light.
"Nadine Scott, you can't have it all! Some things just aren't meant to be yours, no matter how hard you try! Stay out of my business with Jeanie and focus on yourself!" There was a hint of disdain in his eyes when he said that.
He raised his voice and declared, "I won't agree to the divorce!" This was the first time he had clearly expressed his stance. He'd been against the divorce from the moment Nadine first brought it up, and he was even more adamant this time.
After hearing his response, Nadine rolled her eyes. Brad wasn't just a scumbag, he was a jerk without any limits! He was utterly unbelievable.
"So you won't agree to a divorce, huh? Fine, let me ask you this: are you willing to cut all ties with Jean and come back home to me, no matter what happens to her?"
Maybe this marriage wasn't doomed after all if he could sever all ties with Jean.
Nadine's condition took Brad by surprise. He stood rooted to the spot, his dark gaze raking over her from head to toe, as if he was attempting to read her mind.
