Chapter 187
The night wind was biting, painfully stinging any exposed skin. Nadine was trapped in Brad’s embrace, unable to move. She had no choice but to speak softly to him.
However, Brad was like an impenetrable fortress. He held her tightly as if he were afraid she would escape. His grip was so strong that it hurt.
*Brad, can you please let go of me? You’re hurting me How much had he drunk to get himself into this
state?
Brad seemed to understand her words. He loosened his grip enough to stop hurting her, but he still didn’t let go. He held her possessively. It clearly showed his need for control
“I won’t let go. If I do, you’ll run away.” His voice was low and grumbling, sounding like that of a petulant child,
Exasperated, Nadine didn’t know what to do. She stood still and allowed him to hold her.
She glanced over at a nearby car. When she noticed that Avery and Alex seemed to be talking calmly without causing a scene, she felt relieved.
The people who had earlier taken money to call Nadine’s name hadn’t gone far. Sensing a bigger spectacle unfolding, they lingered and watched in the shadows.
One of them commented, “That man looks like Brad Hamilton, the richest man in Janctera City.”
“Now that you mention it, I think so, too.”
“It’s not just that he looks like Brad. He must be Brad!”
“No way! Why would he come all the way here for his wife? I thought they didn’t get along.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. If they weren’t getting along, he wouldn’t be here for her.”
“If it’s not Brad, let’s just watch the show for a bit and maybe record a video to post online.”
The night wind was bitterly cold. After standing outside for a while, Nadine felt that the chill was too much for her. She quietly pleaded with the drunkard behind her, “Brad, please, let me go first.”
Yet, Brad didn’t move at all. He still held her tightly and showed no intention of compromising. He just kept muttering her name.
“Nadine, you’re a bad woman.”
Perhaps it was the cold wind or the warmth of his embrace, or maybe because Brad was drunk and not in his right mind, Nadine thought she heard a hint of affection in his murmuring.
No way. Brad’s gentleness was reserved only for Jean. She must be overthinking.
After taking a deep breath to calm her emotions, she placed her hands on the ones around her waist. She gently soothed him.

“Brad, I’m wearing slippers and a nightgown. It’s too cold out here. I want to go bar inside. Can you let Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
me go, please?”
I
Although she couldn’t see Brad’s face, she could smell the heavy scent of alcohol. She knew she couldn’t
reason with a drunkard, so she had to find another way
Brad was clingy, like gum stuck to her shoe. He exhausted all her bad temper. At Nadine’s soft coaxing,
the man behind her finally moved.
He released her slightly, then turned her around to face him before wrapping her in his arms again. He
undid his coat buttons and enclosed Nadine tightly within his coat.
Because of the alcohol, his eyes were a bit hazy. His narrowed, beautiful eyes gave him an almost bewitching look.
“Now, you won’t be cold.”
As her body was pressed against his chest, their hearts were close together. She could clearly hear his breathing and the rhythm of his heartbeat.
