Chapter 488 Nadine wasn't an unreasonable person. Brad worked away from home and had to interact with all sorts of people, both men and women. She wouldn't mind if he accidentally brushed against a woman, as long as it wasn't intentional. However, when it came to Jean, he never bothered to keep his distance. If hugging, holding, and kissing were considered innocent to him, then what could possibly be inappropriate? Did he not know what it meant to be innocent?

Brad was stumped, standing rooted to the spot. His deep, brooding eyes locked onto her, but for a long while, he couldn't find his voice. "Nadine, why don't you think about your own actions before saying that? Why didn't you call yourself 'dirty' when Tyler kissed you? If I hadn't intervened, who knows what could've happened between you two?" Recently, Jean's actions had left him bitterly disappointed. But disappointment wasn't all he felt-there was disgust, too.

The more he compared her to Nadine, the more distant he became from Jean and the closer he wanted to be to Nadine. Initially, he wanted to get along with Nadine, but he didn't expect her to be so sharp-tongued. She had no intention of getting along with him at all. Plus, she kept pointing out his flaws and accusing him of being unfaithful. The anger he had been suppressing finally erupted, and he lashed out at Nadine. His sudden outburst made her fall silent.

The air around them grew deathly still. Nadine lifted her gaze and shot him a look before walking away without a word. It felt as if he was picking at something else entirely. She'd stopped expecting anything from him, and without expectations, there was no disappointment to be had. Nadine didn't spare him another glance as she walked away briskly, leaving him to watch her retreating form. It was useless to reason with someone like Brad.

She couldn't have a rational conversation with someone who didn't share her basic beliefs. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
