Nadine suddenly fell silent, and her expression turned cold. The warmth Brad felt vanished completely.
Just moments ago, he saw Nadine's concerned and worried face. It made him feel more content than sealing a multi-billion dollar deal.
He even felt an urge to embrace her and soften up to her.
Just as he was about to do so, Nadine's face fell.
It caught him off guard, and he quickly withdrew his outstretched hand.
His gaze, once filled with warmth, now turned distant and indifferent. It was as if nothing had happened.
Nadine said coldly, "Forget it. It's all in the past."
The once warm atmosphere between them turned tense.
Both their tones sounded sour.
They both then fell into a heavy silence.
Neither of them were willing to address each other.
Nadine felt an overwhelming sense of oppression. It felt like an invisible weight was pressing down on her chest, suffocating her.
Ignoring Brad, she stood up and went upstairs to comfort the stunned and frozen Sean.
Shaken by the earlier events, Sean turned pale.
Nadine was heartbroken for her son. She took him to his room and tried to soothe him with stories, hoping to lift his spirits and help him recover from the fright.
After watching Nadine and Sean enter the children's room, Brad pressed his aching temples and asked one of the bodyguards, "What is Gigi doing now?"
The bodyguard beside him quickly used the intercom to check on Gigi's situation.
