Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 337

Deep down, Jean was truly terrified. She was afraid that Brad might actually stop caring about her. In Janctera City, she had nothing left except Brad.

Last night, she desperately wanted him to be with her, so she called him. But for some reason, he didn't pick up.

This made her incredibly anxious. She couldn't help but wonder if Brad had fallen for Nadine and if that was why he didn't answer her calls.

Brad, who hadn't slept all night, had been working overtime at the office. Now, dark circles shadowed his eyes.

Rubbing his tired temples, he tried to comfort Jean, whose voice on the other end of the phone sounded deeply unsettled.

"There was an issue with a project at work at night, so I had to stay late. I didn't have my phone with me.

"By the time I saw your call, it was already the middle of the night. I figured you were asleep and didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't return your call."

In truth, he did have time after leaving the hospital last night, but his mind had been in turmoil. He just didn't want to see Jean. Even he wasn't sure why he told such a harmless little lie to Jean.

Once, he had loved her deeply. Yet, now, he found himself suddenly reluctant to face her.

Nadine's bloodshot eyes, the deep-seated hatred within, and the forceful slap she gave him still lingered in his mind. Even now, while speaking to Jean, he couldn't shake the image of Nadine's pained expression.

He must have really pushed her to the edge. Nadine, who was usually so gentle, looked like a firecracker ready to explode as she yelled at him with reddened eyes. Had he really gone too far last night?

She hadn't been wrong. Brad had indeed developed feelings for Nadine over time.

The man who once swore undying love to her was no longer the pure-hearted young man he used to be. His promises remained, but his heart had changed.

If she hadn't been tempted by Adam's offer of 200 million dollars six years ago and had chosen to stay by Brad's side during his darkest hour, would Nadine have ever had the chance to swoop in?

Realizing that Brad was slipping away from her, like sand slipping through her fingers, Jean began to panic. Really panic.

Her tears fell uncontrollably, like a string of pearls breaking and scattering everywhere.
