Chapter 104
There was a huge park in the residential area, with fitness equipment next to the park. Happily, Sean hopped onto a stationary bicycle and started pedaling.
Standing by his side, Nadine and Avery started chatting.
“Babe, divorcing Brad would be the right decision. I’ll find you a new man immediately! There are so many out there! Any one of them would be better than Brad!”
Smiling bitterly, Nadine shook her head. “How could it be easy to do that? There are indeed a lot of men. But there is barely anyone who would make my heart flutter, love me, cherish me, and understand me.
“If I don’t meet someone whom I really want, I’m better off being single. Don’t worry about me.
Pursing her lips, Avery pinched Nadine’s cheek. “You’re just 25 years old! Why do you sound like you’re 80? In my opinion, you’re in your prime now. A young divorcee is super attractive to many people.
“Besides, you’re a pretty woman! Listen to me and forget about Brad. Look for someone better than him! They would certainly cherish you more than he could!
That piece of trash, just let him be with his mistress forever! A scumbag and a homewrecker would be a match made in heaven!”
She had always disapproved of Nadine’s marriage with Brad for a long time.
There was not any official announcement or wedding ceremony for it. He just had Nadine move into the
Hamilton Estate secretly.
How could that be considered as a marriage? Those who did not know what happened would have thought that Nadine was kidnapped and sold to the Hamilton family!
Pouting, Nadine pointed at Sean, who was playing at the side. “Keep your voice down! He likes Brad a lot. He’d get angry if he finds out that you’re badmouthing Brad.”
Avery glanced at Sean before pursing her lips. “He’s so ungrateful. Doesn’t he know who gave birth to him? How could he take the douchebag’s side?”
As the two chatted, Avery’s phone rang. It was from an unfamiliar number.
Looking at the number, she picked it up in front of Nadine. “Hello, who is this?”
Soon, a man’s cold and deep voice could be heard. “I’m looking for Nadine!”
The two exchanged a look, recognizing who that was. It was Brad!
Avery’s eyes widened. Lowering her voice, she asked Nadine, “How did that scumbag find out what my number is? Did you tell him?”
Nadine shook her head. “No, it was not me! But it would be a piece of cake for him to look for your number, given his power and influence in Janctera City
After thinking carefully about it, Avery thought that she had a point. She asked Nadine, “Do you want to take the call, then?”
Nadine did not want to, so she shook her head profusely.
Picking up the phone again, Avery placed it by her ear before saying. “You’ve got the wrong number. This is not Nadine’s number.”
“Avery Swift, I know it’s you! Nadine is right beside you. Pass her the phone!”
Brad’s tone was domineering.
“Ms. Swift, you better do as I say if you don’t want Alex to meet you right now. If Nadine does not want to take the call, think of some way to make her do so!”
After leaving the hospital, Brad headed right to where Sean was, but everyone had already left.
Nadine’s phone was unreachable. It was clear that she had blocked him.
Both Nadine and Sean were not at home. Since it was late already, Nadine would certainly not go to the Scott residence either, not wanting to worry her family.
She just got fired by the hospital today. It would be impossible for her to head back to work.
After thinking about it, Brad felt that she would probably visit Avery. He told Cameron to find Avery’s number before calling her up right away.
Avery didn’t want to cave in or pass the phone to Nadine, but the mention of Alex gave her no choice but to do what Brad said.
With a difficult look, she passed her phone to Nadine.
