Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 614

The man was tall and imposing, like an indomitable pine tree braving the cold wind. He wore a dark overcoat that gave him an air of quiet sophistication and an undeniable sense of power.

The collar of his coat was slightly open, revealing the dark shirt and tie underneath, which showcased his refined taste and elevated status.

He stood out in the morning light, effortlessly drawing the attention of everyone around them. Several women admired him from a distance, but he didn't seem to notice. He courteously opened the car door, waiting for Nadine and Sean to approach. "Get in. I'll take Sean to school."

Unlike the obsessive and unwilling-to-let-go man from the night before, Brad was calm and composed—like a completely different person. It was as if he wasn't the least bit bothered by her rejection yesterday. If anything, he seemed more relaxed.

When he opened the door, his eyes were on Sean, not Nadine. His expression was impassive, almost as if he was saying, "I'm just here to drop the kid off, nothing more." He made no effort to speak to her, nor did he seem interested in exchanging pleasantries.

Sean stopped in his tracks and looked at Nadine, his voice soft as he asked, "Mommy, can I?" He might be young, but he was no fool. He knew his mom didn't like his dad. Even though he wanted to ride in his dad's car, he wanted to make sure it was alright with his mom.

Nadine checked her wristwatch, torn. At the rate she was moving, it would take her at least five minutes to walk out of the neighborhood and hail a cab.

Sean needed to be at school before 7:50 am, and it was already 7:31 am. By the time they reached the entrance of the neighborhood and booked a ride, she feared he would be late to school. But the thought of riding with Brad was far from appealing.

Nadine was thinking about how to politely turn him down when Brad walked over and scooped Sean up from the ground. His voice was firm as he said, "Stop hesitating. If we don't leave now, he's going to be late. Get in the car. I'll drive Sean to school and then drop you off."
