Chapter 53
On one side was the impoverished Nadine, and on the other side was the wealthy Brad. How would Sean choose? Would he resent her for divorcing Brad after enduring hardships?
Sean was still young, but he could clearly see the disappointment and sadness in Nadine’s eyes.
He hugged Nadine’s neck and planted a kiss on her fair face before saying, “Mommy, don’t be sad. I will be there with you wherever you are. We will rely on each other.”
This innocent sentence almost made Nadine burst into tears. She held Sean tightly, wiped away her tears secretly, and tried to make herself smile. “Thank you, baby!
“In the future, it will be just you and me! You are my everything, and I will be your everything. Let’s live
a
happily together, okay?”
Sean heard Nadine choking up and patted her back sensibly. “Okay! As long as you and I are together, nothing else matters!”
Sean’s maturity made Nadine’s previously suppressed tears flow once again. She quickly wiped them. away while carrying him on her back and trying to appear happy.
“Sean, go pack your things. Take your favorite toys with you, but leave the rest, okay?”
Sean readily agreed. “Okay.”
“Nadine! You’re divorcing Brad, aren’t you?
Why are you back here?”
Gigi barged into the Phoenix Villa with an air of disdain. She complained loudly as soon as she entered.
Nadine and Sean were packing their luggage, and upon hearing Gigi’s voice, they glanced at each other with varying degrees of disgust.
As the youngest in the family and a daughter, Gigi had been spoiled beyond belief and took pleasure in bullying Nadine every day.
When Sean was at home, he would call Daniel over, Gigi was afraid of Daniel, so she would restrain herself a bit. She was arrogant today because Adam had been hospitalized and Daniel had gone to see Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
him.
With her hands on her hips, she walked into Nadine and Brad’s room and immediately started spewing
insults.
“Tsk tsk. Packing up, huh? What have you packed? Didn’t you say you were divorcing Brad? Why come back if you’re getting divorced? If you’re reluctant, just admit it. Why scare others with divorce threats?
“To tell you the truth, Brad isn’t soft–hearted. He has a bad temper. He only shows a little bit of tenderness in front of Jeanie, but don’t count on it with anyone else. He won’t give anyone else the time of day.
“Nadine, what are you doing packing your luggage while Brad isn’t home? Are you trying to steal from us?
Seeing Gigi bullying Nadine, Sean felt sorry for Nadine He stepped forward, clenched his fists in front of
chest
“Aunt Gigi, don’t bully my mommy! She’s your elder. You should respect her!”
Gigi didn’t even care about Sean. She grabbed him by the collar and this little
him. “Where i
bastard come from? When did you get the right to speak here?”
Seeing Sean struggling in mid–air, Gigi warned him by pointing at his nose. “Don’t act like an adult in front of me. Do you believe I’ll throw you on the ground right now?”
Every time she targeted Nadine, Sean would call for Daniel. When Daniel came, she would be the one being scolded. In Gigi’s mind, she had long despised Nadine and Sean.
This time, with Adam hospitalized and none of the adults who protected that bitch Nadine home, Gigi
deliberately came over to humiliate Nadine and Sean.
Seeing Sean being lifted by Gigi and struggling in mid air, Nadine felt both angry and heartbroken. Sean
was her life! No mother could watch her child being bullied.
She rushed to Gigi without hesitation and snatched Sean from Gigi. Then, she slapped Gigi across the
face.
The sound of Nadine’s palm making contact with Gigi’s face was crisp and clear, and several maids who had come with Gigi heard it clearly.
They looked at the weak and vulnerable Nadine before exchanging glances. When Gigi realized that Nadine had slapped her, she went crazy.
“How dare you hit me! You bitch!” She jumped up and rushed toward Nadine. “Go to hell!”
