Chapter 4

The bright lights cast Tyler’s face in sharp relief. Even without lifting her gaze, Nadine could feel the intensity of his stare bearing down on her.

Her marriage had been doomed from the start. She wouldn’t be in this mess now if she hadn’t insisted on marrying Brad.

There was never any true connection between her and Brad, it was all her stubbornness driving them forward.

Now, Tyler’s question hit a raw nerve deep within her fragile heart. It unsettled her deeply.

Nadine didn’t know how to respond. She sighed softly and lowered her head in silence.

Tyler’s question was a soul-searching one for her. Initially, she believed that if she just treated Brad well enough, she could melt even the coldest heart.

Now, Nadine understood that Brad wasn’t simply cold-hearted. He was icy, unyielding, and only capable of inflicting pain on her. After years, she was now covered in wounds, both visible and invisible.

Nadine’s silence made Tyler’s heart ache even more. He looked at her delicate face and couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.

“Nadine, can’t you tell? Brad doesn’t love you at all!”

Despite spending the past five years studying abroad without contacting Nadine, he had always kept tabs on her life. He would often inquire about her recent status through mutual acquaintances.
