Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 511

Brad deliberately slowed down, mirroring Nadine's pace to prolong each second they had together. He even found himself praying silently, hoping that Sean wasn't ready to leave just yet.

The anger he had just suppressed had long since dissipated into thin air. At that moment, all he wanted was to be just a little closer to her.

Nadine was completely oblivious to the shift in his demeanor. As far as she was concerned, he was nothing but a closed chapter in her life.

She had once loved him with everything she had, pouring all her heart and soul into their relationship. But when her feelings weren't reciprocated, she closed her heart off to him and never looked back.

She had the courage to love deeply and the strength to let go. When she witnessed him lose his mind over Jean, she vowed to stay far away from pointless drama and people who only brought her down.

A mature woman had to part ways with three things—clothes that had gone out of style, friends who schemed behind your back, and men who didn't return the love they were given.

After her heart grew cold from all the love she'd offered, she completely removed Brad from it. Even if he were to bare himself completely before her now, she wouldn't feel a thing.

The heart-wrenching pain she experienced had left its mark. Now, surrounded by familiar surroundings and a familiar man, she felt nothing at all. Her heart was as calm as a still pond.

Brad led the way with deliberate care, occasionally glancing back to remind Nadine, "Watch your step." At some point, he had grown uncharacteristically nervous around her—constantly afraid she might get upset and leave, or worse, pull away without a word.
