Chapter 711 There wasn't much information about Jack in the folder-only three pages. Most of it consisted of pictures of him and Nadine. The two of them were full of life and energy.
Their clothes were nothing special, but their smiles were bright-the kind that could light up a room. It was the kind of love where just being together felt enough.
Then, there was himself and Nadine. Even after being married for six years, they did not have a single photo together. Brad recalled the day his father suggested they take wedding photos. Nadine had been so considerate, claiming it wasn't necessary and that she didn't want to.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut was she truly being considerate, or was it simply because she didn't care? If it had been Jack standing beside her in those photos, would she still have been so "thoughtful" and said "no"? Brad was staring at the photos, feeling frustrated, when Cameron called to tell him that Nadine had been taken to the police station. Gripping his phone tightly with his uninjured hand, his knuckles turned white.
He was upset with Nadine for saying she loved him with words that held no weight. Hence, when he heard that she had been taken to the police station, he didn't want to get involved.
Besides being harsh with him, what else could this cold-hearted woman do? Others had no trouble sending her to the police station, but she didn't even think to call him for help. Instead, she remained remarkably calm. It was evident that he held no place in her heart.
This realization drove Brad mad. Initially, he was about to rush to the station to bail her out. But then he thought of Nadine's cold indifference toward him, and his anger flared, almost consuming him. Why should he go to her rescue? All she ever did was upset him and make him angry.
He swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue and told Cameron, "Leave her be. I'm sure she can manage just fine!" Since she was scapable, he wouldn't waste his breath trying to help. He wasn't going to put himself out there for someone so frigid.
Meanwhile, Nadine was escorted into a quiet little room at the police station. Noticing she had a child with her, the female officer felt a pang of sympathy and made sure to bring them both food and hot water.
She also hinted to Nadine that the other party was wealthy and influential, someone they couldn't afford to cross. She advised Nadine to apologize, offer scompensation, and be more conciliatory, assuring her that they could mediate the situation and let it go.
However, Nadine was as stubborn as they came, refusing to bend. She saw no reason to apologize because neither she nor Sean had done anything wrong.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy should they bow down just because the other party had status and power? She would only yield to the truth and would never bend to those in power.
The officer tried reasoning with her several times, but Nadine refused each time. Eventually, she ended up being locked up untilate at night, There was a single bed in the room, and Sean was exhausted. Nadine took off his jacket, tucking him in while she sat beside him, keeping watch.
In truth, she didn't think she was at fault. On the way to the police station, m she'd asked Sean why he'd hit the other boy, and he had explained that the other boy had started it, calling Nadine names such as a "gold digger" and worse.
Sean and his classmate were only six years old. How would the kid have known those words if he hadn't heard se words, if them from the adults? Since neither she nor Sean had done anything wrong, she was determined not to back down or apologize.
