Chapter 533

Nadine figured that as long as Jean put in enough effort, Brad would be more than willing to divorce her. Yet, for some reason, it seemed like Jean wasn't trying hard enough because Brad still hadn't signed the divorce agreement. Nadine had completely lost the desire to continue this marriage and simply wanted to be free as soon as possible. However, judging from Brad's current attitude, he was nowhere close to granting her wish. It puzzled her—why didn't Brad want a divorce? Why hadn't he gone running back to Jean? Could it be that his adoration for his first love had dwindled? Earlier, while sitting in the car, she noticed Brad frowning from time to time and zoning out at red lights. It seemed like something was weighing heavily on his mind. And the only person who could trouble someone as steadfast as Brad was undoubtedly Jean. So, she concluded that Brad had been dumped. He must have fought with Jean, so he was in a bad mood now. Since he had driven her and Sean home, she decided to give him some advice. "Ms. Sawyer's such a wonderful person. You shouldn't be mad at her. You should take a good look at yourself and see if you've done something wrong. Apologize to her and get her a few gifts to cheer her up." After all, if he didn't mend things with Jean, she wouldn't be able to get a divorce. As long as those two got back together, she'd definitely get her divorce certificate. As such, it was only right for her to show some interest in Brad's relationship with his precious Jean. Brad sat in the driver's seat and was genuinely thrilled when he saw Nadine walking over to him. His heart raced as well. For a moment, he felt as if a light had suddenly shone down on him. His beautiful almond-shaped eyes were locked onto Nadine, brimming with anticipation. He had this feeling that she had something important to say to him, and it was meant just for his ears. But as soon as he heard what came out of Nadine's mouth, his expression darkened in an instant, and his gaze turned steely. "What are you on about?" He'd been over the moon when he noticed her walking toward him after already being dropped off. He thought she was finally going to smile and have a proper conversation with him. Little did he know that she was just trying to teach him how to win Jean back. Were it not for his newfound patience, he would have given this woman a good beating right then and there. "Nadine Scott, before our divorce is finalized, you are still my wife! Don't you dare forget that!" Brad had been eagerly waiting for her to approach him, hoping she'd turn around and say something comforting. But this is what he got instead. How could he not be furious? His piercing gaze swept over her face, and with a dismissive huff, he turned the car around and stepped on the gas. He sped away, leaving only a thick cloud of exhaust in his wake. Nadine hastily took a few steps back, wrinkling her nose in disdain as she waved the smoke away. Scowling at the car that was now out of sight, she muttered under her breath, "I'm doing this for your own good, Brad. Don't be so ungrateful! Hurry up and get the divorce over with!" It had been almost three months since she proposed the divorce, and Brad still hadn't signed the agreement. Her patience was running thin. At this rate, she had no idea when this marriage would finally come to an end. She was already in emotional turmoil. Sean stood beside her and observed her disappointed expression. His long lashes fluttered, yet he chose to remain silent. He didn't understand the issues between his parents, and he didn't want to get involved.
