Chapter 21
Nadine pressed her lips into a line and quickly retracted her hand. “Tyler, let’s talk about something else.
At that moment, she realized that Tyler might have feelings for her. However, he hadn’t said it outright, so she wasn’t sure if her guess was correct.
She decided to change the subject.
Feeling the warmth leave his hand, Tyler looked visibly disappointed.
Seeing Nadine’s startled expression, he realized he had been too impulsive and quickly adopted a more
casual demeanor.
“Nadine, I’m currently looking for an assistant. You studied this field before, so why not come and help. me out? Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you’re paid well.”
Nadine had studied surgery at medical school. If it hadn’t been for her unexpected pregnancy, she
wouldn’t have stopped going to school.
Now, with Tyler mentioning that, she felt like she had been hit by a lucky break.
“Do you think I can do it?” She lacked confidence after being out of touch with society for over five years.
Tyler smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry. I’ll be around. You’ll do great.”
Nadine beamed with joy.
Moving out of Hamilton Estate and finding a job to support herself and Sean were her two main goals. and now they were both within reach.
She raised her cup while smiling from ear to ear. “Thank you, Tyler. Let’s toast, even if it’s just with coffee.”
Tyler’s smile broadened, and he clinked his cup with hers.
At that moment, Nadine noticed the couple at the table across from them. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
The woman was petite and elegant, wearing a long, khaki trench coat. Her chestnut curls fell quietly behind her, making her look like an exquisite doll from a shop window.
Standing beside her, Brad helped her remove her coat and placed it carefully beside her. His expression was gentle throughout the process.
Nadine watched this scene in disbelief.
After all, Brad was a formidable presence in Janctera City. People always catered to him. It had never been the other way around.
Even Adam and Daniel didn’t receive such considerate treatment from him. Yet here he was, humble and
without his usual arrogance, all for Jean.
After helping Jean with her coat, Brad took off his own and accepted the menu from the waiter. He then handed it to Jean with a tender expression. “You choose.”
Jean, who had light makeup on, smiled sweetly at him. “You choose. You know what I like.”
Brad gently caressed her hair. As he sat beside her, he took the menu to order. He sought Jear’s approval
for each dish.
Their gazes at each other were filled with affection.
Nadine sat frozen, watching this scene.
She had never seen Brad, who usually never lifted a finger for anything, treat anyone with such care. In front of her, he had always been domineering and authoritarian, driven solely by his whims.
As Nadine stared at the couple in a daze, Brad noticed her gaze and looked in her direction.
