Chapter 9

Sean harbored no fondness for Evelyn or Gigi. Witnessing their criticism of Nadine, he swiftly positioned

himself by Nadine’s side to defend her.

He saw himself as a little protector, just as Tyler had instructed–to stand before Nadine like a man, loving and shielding her. Now, faced with Nadine’s detractors, Sean boldly stepped forward.

Sean’s actions touched Nadine deeply. She gently stroked his soft hair, feeling warmth in her heart.

In the past, she would have remained silent for Brad’s sake, pretending not to hear the criticism and quietly leaving.

But Sean’s defense emboldened her. Since she had resolved to divorce Brad, there was no need to tolerate the Hamilton family’s arrogance any longer.

“Sean is right. Viral colds are unpredictable. You can’t see or touch viruses.” This marked Nadine’s first

retort.

Nadine’s rebuttal took Evelyn aback. She stared at Nadine, momentarily at a loss for words.

Gigi, accustomed to asserting herself, immediately rose to challenge Nadine, “Nadine, why didn’t you discipline your child? How can a child speak so rudely to his elders? Don’t you discipline him?”

Gigi had harbored disdain for Sean for some time. If it weren’t for Daniel and Adam’s affection for him,,/ how could Nadine reside here?

Moreover, Sean seemed to have stolen away their love for her, further fueling Gigi’s disdain,

Therefore, faced with Sean’s defense, she felt infuriated and entertained thoughts of beating him up.

Seeing Gigi target Sean, Nadine instinctively retorted, “fm your sister–in–law, and look at how you’re speaking to me. Children learn by example.

Nadine’s tone was gentle, her smile faint but present. Witnessing her smile, Gigi snapped, “Nadine, you’re… out of your mind!

“How dare you speak to me like this! Mom! Look at this shameless woman! She’s finally showing her true colors.”

Evelyn glanced at Gigi, then at Nadine. She said furiously, “What’s going on? Did you find a new patron now that your old lover’s back?”

Jean, seated on the sofa, reached out to restrain Gigi “Gigi, calm down. Mrs. Hamilton, don’t get upset either. It’s not worth it to be angry over someone like this.”
