Chapter 469

Brad always thought of Nadine as someone with a mild temperament. She was soft in every way, from her body to her personality. Plus, she was easily swayed.

Even when she was upset, he never had to work too hard to make things right again. All he had to do was speak to her softly, and she'd smile once more.
