Please Give Me Another Chance Mrs Hamilton

"Mommy will cooperate, okay?" Nadine kept reassuring herself that it was only going to be for half a day—that it'd be over soon. She could just treat Brad like he was invisible.

Brad's reaction was calm, his face expressionless. It was as if he had expected this outcome all along.

For the rest of the competitions, Nadine followed his every instruction to the tee, like a robot. She didn't have any opinions or say a single word, simply obeying completely.

As for Sean, he was more energetic than ever because Keira, the girl he liked, was cheering him on. Throughout the games, they exchanged countless smiles, both beaming with joy.

Keira participated in two competitions herself but didn't rank highly. She only received two small souvenirs for participating.

When Sean gave her the magic wand he had worked so hard to win, her eyes sparkled. She hugged him and planted a kiss on his cheek. "You're amazing, Sean. I really like you. I'll treasure this gift you worked so hard to get."

Sean was smiling from ear to ear, receiving praise from the girl he liked. He then bravely gave Keira a kiss on the cheek in return.

Keira's parents knew that they were close friends and often played together. They just laughed at the kids' affectionate gestures. After all, children didn't understand romance. Their friendship was pure and free of any calculation or ulterior motives.

Keira's mother, Callista Davis, recognized Nadine but was meeting Brad for the first time. Admiring the tall and handsome man, she remarked, "Nadine, your husband looks dashing. He looks even better in person than on TV.

"He's tall, elegant, and graceful. I could use every compliment I can think of for him, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration." Since spotting Brad, Callista couldn't take her eyes off him.

Nadine didn't expect Callista to praise Brad so openly, especially with her husband, Bryan Cooper, present. Worried he might feel

Realizing her slip, Callista quickly wrapped her arm around Bryan's. "Yes, yes. You're right. My husband is the most handsome."noveldrama

Hearing this, Keira excitedly ran between her parents, taking each one's hand, and looked at Nadine with a grin. "Ms. Scott, my dad is the handsomest, and my mom is the prettiest."

Though Keira had received the gift from Sean, she still couldn't stop praising her parents. This sparked a bit of competitiveness in Sean as well.

He then ran to Nadine, grabbed her hand, then reached for Brad's. He placed their hands together and held them with his own, saying to Keira's family "To me, my family is the best looking. My dad is the most handsome man in the universe, my mom is the prettiest in the galaxy, and I'm the most handsome kid ever. No arguments allowed."

Nadine, Brad, Callista, and Bryan exchanged smiles, laughing at the children's innocent words.

Throughout it all, Brad kept holding onto Nadine's hand, never letting go. She could feel the warmth of his palm on the back of her hand. His hand was only 98 degrees, but it felt as if her skin was burning,

Nadine tried to pull her hand away several times, but Brad stopped her each time.
