Chapter 18

Nadine was just as baffled as Avery was over Brad’s refusal to sign the divorce papers.

She shook her head as disappointment flickered past her face. “I don’t know, either. I mean, you’d think he’d want to sign those papers immediately after I’ve so generously given up my place for Jean.

“Maybe it’s his pride that kept him from signing those papers. I probably bruised his ego when I suggested that we divorce.

“He might not be so reluctant if he’d been the one to bring up the matter first.”

As Nadine recalled the way Brad had reacted when she told him they should get a divorce, her conjectures about his pride getting in the way made a lot of sense.

She said firmly, “That must be it. A successful man like him would never let me make decisions like that. He’d rather be the one initiating divorce than have it handed to him.

“Looking back, I should have talked to him about it and made him think it was his idea to get a divorce.”

Nadine took her clothes out of the suitcase and began to hang them up in the closet.

Avery walked over to her and helped her with the unpacking, but she did not agree with Nadine’s guess. “I don’t think it’s as simple as his pride getting in his way, babe.

“Think about it: if he’d wanted to divorce you, he could have given you those papers to sign the moment Jean came back into the picture. He wouldn’t have waited and allowed you to embarrass him like that.”
