Brad remained silent, his dark eyes locked onto Nadine's face as he watched her closely. Zara might have been a bit of a chatterbox, but what she said revealed sof his hidden intentions. In a way, he did want to win Nadine over, but he hadn't figured out what to do with her once he did.
Zara kept giving Nadine playful winks and smiling teasingly. "Con, Nad. Are you going to accept Mr. Hamilton's feelings or not?" Nadine frowned. Her relationship with Brad was a tangled mess. Both of them were divorced, yet he was now saying he wanted to pursue her? Not long ago, the intehad reported extensively about her and Brad.

That was what scared her most. She knew Brad's temperament all too well. He wasn't the kind of person to let things slide. If you crossed him, he'd make sure you paid for it.
However, after learning about Jack's existence, all he asked was, "Did you seeas his replacement?" And that was it. He never brought it up again.

It's a simple question, isn't it?" Zara continued with Seraphina now on her side, "Exactly, Nad! When it comes to feelings, you either like someone or you don't. What's there to hesitate about? "In fact, if you're hesitating, it probably means you don't like him, right? If you did, you wouldn't hesitate at all. Mr. Hamilton is such a remarkable man!" Brad remained silent. His dark gaze remained locked on Nadine, waiting for her answer.
Zara's words struck a nerve with Nadine. Soon, she answered, "Sorry, but I'm not interested in getting into a relationship right now. I just want to focus on learning from Seraphina. Besides, I don't think I'm worthy of Mr. Hamilton."
She couldn't reject Brad outright, so she offered an excuse that didn't om quite make opportune was the perfect to to draw a line between them and have him stop bothering her. Ever since she divorced Brad, she hadn't given love a second thought—not with Tyler, not with Sebastian, not with anyone. She wasn't interested in stringing anyone along.
As a divorced woman with a child in her late 20s, Nadine figured she had no business involving herself with these wonderful young men. They deserved to be with younger more beautiful women. Of course, she had no intention of remarrying Brad either. They were divorced. Why would she go back to him?
