Chapter 158
Nadine never imagined that Brad would spend her birthday with her. Although she only had a cake and pepperoni pizza this year, having Brad and Sean by her side made it special.
Nadine was someone who was easily satisfied. Even though Brad didn’t say much or shower her with any sweet talk today, she still felt happy.
Happiness was that simple for her.
Soon, night arrived. Sean had already gone to bed.
Nadine turned off the light in his room, leaving just a nightlight on. She tiptoed out of Sean’s room and returned to her bedroom.
Upon entering, she was surprised to see Brad sitting by the bed. He had already changed into his robe and was lying on his side. His robe was opened due to his position, revealing his well–defined and tanned abs.
Nadine could see the distinct muscle lines from her angle. He exuded a strong masculine charm that made her heart flutter.
His short black hair was still damp, giving him a mix of ruggedness and post–shower softness. The scent of his ocean–scented body wash mingled in the air. The intoxicating smell seeped into every corner of the
room.
Seeing her standing there, stunned, the man opened his half–lidded eyes. He then beckoned her over. Come here.”
Honestly, this was the first time Nadine had seen him fresh out of the shower. Despite being married for so many years, she usually showered before Brad. She had always been the one who waited for him to finish his routine.
Perhaps because it was her birthday, Brad seemed unusually gentle compared to his normal self.
The moment he called out to her, Nadine felt her soul being captured by this man. Drawn by his gentle yet refined gaze, she obediently moved towards him like a puppet without a soul.
Before she could reach him, he had already extended his hand. He then pulled her onto the bed in a swift motion, leaving her no time to react. Just as Nadine was about to look up, his kiss descended on her.
In an instant, his familiar and intoxicating scent filled her nose. After six years of marriage, she knew every move he made and exactly what would happen next.
Technically, as a couple about to divorce, she had every right to reject Brad’s advances.
Yet, his kiss seemed to penetrate her soul, silencing all her protests. The room was filled only with the sounds of their mingling breaths and the soft noises of their kiss.
Soon, Nadine’s clothes lay scattered across the carpet. Tightly entwined on the bed, the two seemed to be seeking to merge into one another completely.

The sudden sound of a phone ringing interrupted the passion in the room. The two instantly froze.
They both knew who that ringtone belonged to–it was hone other than Jean.
As the phone rang, Brad frowned. He was obviously irritated. He reached across Nadine for the phone on
the bedside table.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he answered, “Jeanie.”
Nadine rolled away and escaped his grasp without even casting him a glance.
She fled to the bathroom and locked the door behind her. Then, she turned the shower on, letting the hot
water cascade over her body.
Nadine slapped her face repeatedly and berated herself in a low voice, “Nadine, why are you so pathetic?”
“All Brad did was spend a birthday with you, and you’ve fallen for him again? Remember, you’re getting divorced! Don’t let yourself be fooled by him again!”
