Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 449

The minute Nadine decided on a divorce, she made a personal vow. She would focus on her career, date more, and never remarry because a wise woman knew better than to fall in love. If she did find someone she liked, she'd date, but she'd never marry them.

Hence, when Brad said she'd have trouble finding someone new, she burst into laughter. Nadine laughed so hard, she doubled over, startling the birds in the trees, sending them scattering into the snowy sky.

Her ex-husband's arrogance was truly off the charts. Did he think he was the only man on earth?

Her words hit him like a brick. He stood rooted to the spot, staring at her with wide eyes and slightly parted lips, forgetting what he was about to say.

He suddenly realized that Nadine seemed to be glowing, almost as if she was surrounded by a halo, radiating brilliance. It was a side of her he had never seen before. At that moment, his long-dormant heart skipped a beat.

Brad couldn't quite name the feeling washing over him. He just stood there staring at Nadine, completely taken aback by what she had said.

After mulling it over for a while, he said arrogantly, "You sure talk a good game! Have you even checked if there's a market for you? Who would want secondhand goods like you?"

Nadine had changed, so much so that she felt like a stranger to him. Her eyes no longer held the affection she once had for him. Now, she was like a beacon, glowing in a way that made it hard to look her in the eye.

The words "diamond in the rough" popped into his mind. He recalled how, for years, Nadine had been so submissive, constantly trying to earn his favor. But now, she was defiant and independent. All of a sudden, he felt a creeping fear that he was about to lose her.

As Nadine became more assertive and dazzling, his fear of losing her tightened its grip on him, making it harder to ignore.
