“Is Mommy back?‘ Ignoring Sean’s question, Brad pulled him into his arms and began teaching him how to build with blocks.
He had studied architecture before and had obtained his qualification in the field, so building v was a piece of cake for him.
with blocks
Under his guidance, the castle Sean built was even more exquisite and sturdy than before. It was no longer prone to collapse with a slight push. When Sean accidentally gave the newly built castle a hard shove, it didn’t fall down.
He was instantly surprised. His eyes widened. “Wow, it didn’t even fall like this! Daddy, you’re amazing!”
A faint smile appeared on Brad’s serious face when he noticed Sean’s admiring gaze. Encouraged by Sean’s praise, Brad became livelier. “Do you want to build an even sturdier one?”
Sean’s eyes lit up immediately. He clapped his hands and shouted, “Yes! Let’s build an even sturdier one. One that can’t be crushed!”
Brad’s expression softened as he moved a little forward with Sean in his lap, but his eyes kept darting toward the door. Just as he wondered, the door opened, and Nadine entered with a chill in the air,
She wore a black knee–length down coat. With her hair tied up in a bun, it revealed her smooth and full forehead. Because of the cold weather, her cheeks were pale, giving her a delicate and fragile appearance.
The maid saw Nadine enter and immediately approached respectfully. “You can take off your coat, Mrs. Hamilton. The house has floor heating. It’s very warm Would you mind handing me your bag? I’ll hang it up for you.”
Nadine was shocked by the maid’s respectful attitude. She even gave her a puzzled look.
Thinking Nadine had a problem with her, the maid bent lower and didn’t dare to speak anymore. She took Nadine’s coat and bag and went to hang them up as if fleeing the scene.
Nadine didn’t know what had happened but couldn’t help but look toward Brad, who was sitting on the floor playing with Sean.
Brad had already noticed Nadine but showed no intention of speaking to her. He was still pretending to be serious about teaching Sean how to build with blocks. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Sean was overjoyed to see Nadine back. He even jumped out of Brad’s arms to go to her. However, as soon as he stood up, Brad pulled him back, causing him to plop back onto the foam cushion.
Although it didn’t hurt, he was very unhappy with Brad’s behavior. “What are you doing, Daddy? Didn’t you see Mommy is back? I want to hug her.”
Brad restrained Sean in his arms and asked him seriously, “What did I just teach you? You need to be serious when you’re doing something and not be distracted. Have you forgotten so soon?”
Sean frowned. “That was just now, not now! Mommy is back now, and I want to go to her! I don’t want to play anymore!”
Even if Brad built the blocks well, Sean didn’t want to play anymore. It had been almost a whole day without seeing Nadine, and Sean missed her. Brad grabbed Sean’s clothes again and pulled him back.
“Sit still. You can only play with Mommy after you finish building this.”
“Why? Who
Sean became even angrier. He shouted, “Why? Why can’t I stop playing? I want to play with Mommy! You’re just jealous that I can play with her, so you don’t want to let me find her!”
To be honest, when Nadine first saw Brad hugging Sean and playing with blocks, she was completely stunned.
This loving scene had appeared countless times in her fantasies but had never come true. Seeing it now, she even doubted her own eyes. She thought she must have been mistaken.
Now, when she saw Brad really playing with Sean, the softest part of her heart seemed to be stung hard. She felt like her heart was numb and sore.
