Chapter 174


    Noting the bewilderment in Aver’s eyes, Nadine u os so cold out here. Why should I go and tolerate his temperiet to stand spend te on my phone instead?


    She slouched back on the sofa and began scrolling of her phone intrety. She looked perectly unfazed.


    as if nothing had just happened.


    Avery was perplexed. Did Nadine turnover a new leat and get over Brad SOQUION?


    I so quiety?


    She didn’t think to be possible, but Nadine was locally lying next to her. With her headphones on she


    it’d


    Neet


    scrolled through her phoneughing out loud whenever she came across a fury video. She certainly


    seemed <b>unbothered</b>.


    It took Avery some time to finally get used to the sceof Nadine. Nhe


    could do whatever she wanted as long as she felt ha


    She was leved. Nadine


    Meanwhile, Brad reclined on the sole with his eyes closed re seemed to be aseen, but he was actually


    paving great attention to the sounds outside the private room<b>.</b>


    Although he was intoxicated and tett somewhat muddled he was still farky LOG


    He was well aware that Alex had posted him on social media. Nadine might not have seen his post, but


    Avery surely would’vee across it. Given how closethey were she’d definite tel Nacine about it


    So, all he had to do was lie here and wat gulety. Nadine loved him after all. Her heart would’ve ached at


    the sight of his current state


    As long as she came, he’d forgive her for running away from home and all her nonser


    It was nearly midnight, but the person Brad anticipated didn’t show up at all. He’d been waiting for more


    than two hours.


    Seeing that Nadine had yet to arrive after a long time, Alex suddenly lost his confidence. What was be going to do if she didn’t show up? Brad would strangle him to death once he regained consciousness


    Just as Alex was about to be consumed by anxiety, a knock came from the door.


    Brad’s eyes lit up despite his sluggishness, and so did Alex’s. Had been anticipating this moment, aher all. Alex quickly urged Brad to lie back down and covered him with his sut jacket


    “Stay still. Act upon my cues! If you refuse to listen to me, dont me me for not helping you when


    Nadine arrives


    Obediently, Brady back down on the sofa and closed his eyes


    Once Alex had everything arranged, he strode to the door and opened it. With a bright smile, he began Nadine, you’re finally-


    How he wished he could swallow his words in the next instant


    “Jean? Aren’t you supposed to be at the hospital? Why did youe despite the cold?” Alex’s gaze


    dimmed.


    Damn it! The person who should’ve turned up didn’t make it, but someone whose presence was


    unwee showed up instead.


    Nestled on the sofa, Brad had no idea who turned up at the door. He thought it was Nadine. Remainingpletely silent, he feigned sleep with his eyes still shut.


    Jean had a pink mink fur coat on. Underneath the coat, she wore a pair of fleece–lined ck jeans and a pair of two–inches heels. With minimal makeup on, she merely applied a subtleyer of pink <b>lip </b><b>gloss </b>to plump her lips.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    She shed a smile at Alex and pointed behind him, asking <b>gently</b>, “Is Brad… drunk?”
