Chapter 99
“But darling, why aren’t you here with me?”
In the ringtone, the voice of the female singer was filled with resentment and depression as it rang out in the spacious bedroom. It instantly interrupted their intimate moment.
The two, who were holding each other tightly a moment ago, quickly parted.
Nadine hurriedly grabbed her clothes and darted into the bathroom. With a hand over her pounding heart, she reassured herself repeatedly, “Thank god Jean called. If not, you would’ve slept with Brad again.
“How could you be so useless? He’s just a man! Nadine Scott, wake up!” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Brad’s phone had a simple ringtone. It was just the mechanical sound of a phone ringing. However, he had set this special ringtone just for Jean.
This W
also the moment when Nadine realized how powerful a first love could be. His first love would
always be Jean, but his wife could be anyone.
With his desire left unfulfilled, Brad answered the phone with a frown. He sounded very unhappy.
Anything?”
His dry voice was filled with frustration, It was as if someone owed him money.
Jean could hear the impatience in his voice. Pitifully, she said, “Brad, I’m having a fever again, Can you
come over?”
Brad’s rationality was clouded by lust a moment ago, but hearing Jean’s voice immediately woke him up. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his dissatisfaction.
He asked her softly, “How did you suddenly get a fever again? Did you take any medicine? Did you call the doctor over? What did the doctor tell you?
“Since the doctor said it’s fine, it means that it’s not a big issue. Don’t scare yourself for nothing.”
After Nadine got changed, she walked out of the bathroom. She saw Brad standing in the walk–in closet topless. Holding his phone in one hand, he was looking for his clothes with another.
His tone was calm and his attitude was gentle. There was tenderness in his eyes which he probably did not know himself. Without having to guess, she knew who the caller was.
As expected, she then heard Brad say, “Since it’s not a huge problem, I won’t go there then. I’ll visit your
tomorrow.
“You’re not happy?
“Why do you need me to come over? I’m not a doctor.
“Alright. Wait for me then.”
After hanging up, Brad started to put on his clothes. When Nadine walked over, she blocked the entrance.
of the closet with a calm gaze.
She only spoke after Brad was done changing. “Tell me Sean’s whereabouts.”
Brad did not want to tell her that. He furrowed his eyebrows. “I’ll tell you when you need to know! I want to
head out now. Get away.”
Nadine did not listen to him. Locking themselves in the closet, she blocked the handle. She fixed her eyes on Brad. “Tell me where Sean is and I’ll let you go. If not, don’t even think about meeting the woman you
like!”
She knew that would certainly agitate Brad. But apart from this, she had no other choices anymore.
When Brad saw the determination and silence in Nadine’s eyes, he frowned harder. “Nadine, do you know where the body of the person who threatened me last time was?”
Nadine had really gone too far this time!
“Don’t try to test my patience!”
Nadine accepted his challenge. She raised her head high as she walked over to him. Stretching her pale
arms out, she hooked them around his neck.
She smiled at him and said, “I’m not trying to test your patience. I just want to continue what we were doing earlier.”
