Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 159

Brad was annoyed at being interrupted. Hence, his tone was far from friendly.

On the other end of the line, Jean was confused. She furrowed her eyebrows in concern, and tears formed in her eyes. "Brad, did I disturb you?"

As she spoke, she started coughing. Although she sounded worried, she felt deeply unsettled.

Earlier that afternoon, she had called Brad, hoping he would come over and spend the evening with her. He had readily agreed. But while she eagerly awaited his arrival after work, his assistant showed up instead. 

Brad had Cameron deliver her an expensive set of jewelry. Along with the gift came Brad's message telling her something urgent had come up, and Brad couldn't make it. He also asked her to contact Cameron if she needed anything.

“How could you ever be a disturbance to me?”

Contrarily, the more a woman disregarded and belittled men, the more they yearned for her..

She and Nadine were prime examples. In her opinion, a woman had to be hot and cold with a guy to make them cherish the woman more.

“Brad, am I being too much? Is Nadine stopping you from coming? If that’s the case, then just stay home.

“After all, who would want to be with someone who’s practically dying?” Tears flowed down her cheeks effortlessly. She didn’t even need to act,
