Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 864

Nadine had seen the news online, though not in detail. She didn't go through every article. But the consensus was clear: everyone was blaming her for treating Brad as a substitute and playing both sides.

Truth be told, she hadn't treated Brad as a replacement. Maybe, in the very beginning, the thought had crossed her mind. But it didn't take long for her to let go of that idea because she could clearly distinguish Brad from Jack, despite their near-identical appearances.

Brad didn't smile often, nor did he talk much. Jack, on the other hand, had a radiant smile—full of energy and positivity. Sometimes, she didn't even need words to tell them apart. A single smile was enough to distinguish the two.

As for the whole "substitute" thing, she could only admit that it might have been true at first. Over time, however, that perception faded.

It was because of that same face that she fell in love with Brad. But in doing so, she also felt she'd lost the right to love Jack.

Even though Jack had passed and could never smile at her again, she couldn't forgive herself for falling in love with someone else after he passed. How could she? After all, they'd promised to only love one another—and she had broken that promise.

The passing scenery, as well as the faint sound of quiet breathing in the car, kept reminding her that they were on the way to Phoenix Villa. It was a place she had called home for more than six years. Nadine had once loved it there, believing it to be her safe haven, her refuge. That was until Jean returned.

Had she not seen how lovingly Brad treated Jean, Nadine would believe that his current kindness toward her was genuine. But after witnessing the way he treated Jean, she could no longer believe he was being sincere, no matter how nice he was toward her.
