Please Give Me Another Chance Mrs Hamilton

Chapter 13

Brad had always been stoic, and he hardly ever showed emotion. However, when he saw Jean leave the dining room in tears, the look he gave Nadine was nothing short of mutinous

“Are you happy now, Nadine?” he hissed.

He stormed out of the dining room before Nadine could respond, cutting past her like a shadow.

Bitter disappointment filled Nadine as she watched him leave in a hurry.

At last, she had come to terms with the brutal reality, which was that Brad loved Jean as much as he hated Nadine.

Thus came the straw that broke the camel’s back–and broke her heart in the process too.

She wasn’t sure if heartbreak had anything to do with the hollow sensation in her, but she felt such a sharp ache in her chest that she couldn’t breathe.

Evelyn was lashing out at Nadine after the latter had gotten Gigi punished and made Brad stalk off in anger. She wanted nothing more than to rip Nadine to shreds.

She then slowly looked up at Evelyn. “I’m not the one who’s grunting at the dinner table.”

Despite Nadine’s ever–pleasing disposition and kindness in the past, Gigi and Evelyn had never accepted her as part of the family.

It was time Nadine finally stood up to them. There was no hope for turning things around at this point,

anyway.

Evelyn’s nostrils flared when she heard Nadine’s insult. She reached for the plate next to her and tried to hurl it at Nadine, but Daniel stopped her.

He pinned the plate down and snapped, “Will you look at the state of yourself? Is this how behave as an elder? Come with me!”
