Brad had never taken care of Sean for even a day. It was ironic that a man with no parenting experience was attempting to teach Nadine how to raise her son.

Brad looked at Sean, who was devouring his dessert, and dismissed Nadine's concerns. "He seems fine to me."

All of a sudden, she felt like she had had enough. Nothing she said would get through to Brad anyway. No matter what she said, he'd just insist she was wrong. So, she chose to remain silent.
