Adam wasn't in a rush to argue with Brad. He waited patiently until his grandson had finished speaking before responding, "Is it really that difficult to get a divorce? As long as Nad can provide proof that you two have been separated for three years, the court will surely grant the divorce."
Adam was right on the mark. According to the laws of Janctera City, if a couple had been living apart for three years or more and their relationship had deteriorated beyond repair, either party could file for divorce without the need for mutual consent.
This meant that as long as Nadine could provide sufficient evidence of their separation, their marriage would be nullified.
Brad had never paid attention to these things. After hearing that, he felt as though he had been drenched in ice water from head to toe. He looked as if Adam's question had knocked the wind out of him. He stood frozen in place for what felt like ages. His gaze was vacant as he stared at Adam, his eyes devoid of light.
Adam smirked inwardly as he observed his grandson's reaction. "Serves you right, you scumbag!" he mused. He had finally realized that Nadine could live just fine without him, huh?
Brad was Nadine's everything when she loved him, but now that she no longer felt the same way, he was nothing but dirt to her. He couldn't believe that Brad hadn't realized this until now. Did all those years of education go to waste?
Even though he was gloating on the inside, Adam didn't let it show. He picked up the handgrip again and resumed his workout. Watching Brad remain still and silent for such a long time filled him with an inexplicable sense of joy.
Worried that he hadn't stoked the flames enough, Adam added, "Initially, I wanted Nad and Sebastian to date before they got married. After all, infidelity has become a common reason for divorce in this day and age.
"But she's so stubborn. She wouldn't budge no matter what I said. She kept saying it was wrong and that she couldn't do such a thing. She insisted on being just friends with Sebastian and said she would wait until after the divorce to pursue anything romantic.
