Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 5

It was autumn, and Brad was clad in a long navy windbreaker. With a white shirt and black trousers, he stood there like a refined figure, his eyes fixated unwaveringly on Nadine's face.

His thin lips were pressed into a tight line, and his jaw clenched. At that moment, Brad gave Nadine a murderous look as he watched them together. His presence exuded an air of superiority that commanded dominance.

The overwhelming pressure hit Nadine like a tidal wave, and she felt an unprecedented sense of danger. Facing Brad's cold eyes, Nadine struggled to catch her breath.

Brad was usually composed and often wearing a poker face that revealed little emotion. But... just a moment ago, Nadine clearly caught a glimpse of the ferocious intent in his eyes.

Even without a word, Brad could make one surrender.

After completing the payment, Tyler noticed Nadine's stiffness, and only then did he notice Brad standing not far away.

He had short hair, sharp eyebrows, deep eyes, and a penetrating gaze. Brad exuded a heavy aura of hostility, with an exceptional temperament that marked him as anything but ordinary.

Tyler recognized the long windbreaker Brad wore, the latest edition from Armani. Whoever could afford such clothing was definitely not an ordinary person. Tyler couldn't help but give him another glance.

Soon, Tyler guessed his identity. He was the wealthiest man in Janctera City—Brad, Nadine's husband!

Different from his media persona, in reality, Brad's eyes were sharp and piercing. There was a sharpness in his gaze that ordinary people dared not meet.

After locking eyes with Brad, Tyler didn't retreat but instead stepped closer to Nadine.

He mocked Brad, saying, "It's impressive how Mrs. Hamilton can't even pay a thousand dollars for medical expenses."

Knowing Nadine was not living happily in her marriage, he wished he could tear apart Brad's enchanting face.

Nadine was such a great person! Why couldn't he cherish her properly? Even if he didn't love her, he shouldn't hurt her!

But what had Brad done? In his eyes, Tyler only saw disgust and indifference, nothing more.

Watching this scene unfold before her eyes, Nadine wished there was a hole she could hide in. She knew Tyler was speaking up for her, but... some things were never fair. Like love.

In a relationship, the one who fell in love first was destined to be at a disadvantage.

Nadine didn't want Tyler to offend Brad because of her and reached out to tug at his sleeve. This action, in Brad's eyes, instantly triggered his ferocity.

"Mrs. Hamilton, care to introduce your lover?" Brad asked.

Seeing Nadine so concerned about Tyler who was beside her, Brad couldn't help but feel the urge to crush her hand. How dare she touch another man's clothes!

Despite Brad's anger, Tyler embraced Nadine, trying to shield her from Brad. He said, "Nadine, divorce that scumbag! I'll take care of you!"

Just as Tyler held Nadine tightly, Brad approached. Tyler felt a numbness in his shoulder, his arm sore and tingling. He had no choice but to release Nadine who was in his arms.

Given her freedom, Nadine immediately distanced herself from Tyler without hesitation. Her heart was racing wildly. She never wanted to encounter such a battlefield again in her life.

Gasping for breath, she looked at Tyler holding Sean and pleaded, "Tyler, can you please go back first?"

Sean was around, and she didn't want him to witness the argument between them. Everyone would suffer if Brad was angered!

Sean felt afraid watching the scene from within Tyler's embrace. He reached out to Nadine, saying, "Mommy, hold me!"

She kept explaining, "Brad, listen to me, I just happened to bump into Tyler! Really! It was just a coincidence!"

But in his rage, Brad couldn't seem to listen to her reason. He disregarded her feelings and roughly clutched her wrist, dragging her away forcefully.

Tyler wanted to catch up, but Brad's bodyguard, Jonah Howard, stopped them. He wanted to force his way through, but Jonah moved his hand, and Tyler's arm couldn't move at all.

Jonah casually said, "Mr. Hamilton won't hurt her. You just wait here, sir."

Tyler dared not speak, his eyes wide with anxiety as he glanced toward the entrance of the emergency exit.

Brad's actions were anything but gentle. He was rough to vent his frustration. Nadine was pulled by him, her wrist tightly gripped, leaving it red and sore.

"Brad, I'll repeat myself, I just happened to bump into Tyler, nothing more," she insisted.

"And yet, you and Ms. Sawyer seem to be quite close. Why? You can be with another woman but I can't?" she added, her words further enraging Brad.

Brad furiously pulled Nadine into her arms. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free from his grasp.

Until… Brad stopped in his tracks.

In the narrow and dimly lit emergency exit passage, the only source of light was the sign for the Safety Exit, emitting a faint green glow.

Before Nadine could even adjust to the dim environment, Brad pressed her against the wall.
