Brad was out of his mind to let Sean have ice cream in the middle of winter. He clearly didn't realize that a young child would suffer from digestive issues with cold food.
Nadine felt a surge of intense anger toward Brad. Her eyes were red and teary as she glared at him, looking as if she wanted to tear him apart.
Compared to Nadine's frustration, Brad was remarkably calm. He briefly glanced at Nadine before turning his attention back to Sean and gently asked, "Is this what you wanted?"
Sean took a big lick of the ice cream and gave Nadine a sweet smile. "Mommy, I wanted it. It's not Daddy's fault. Please don't be mad. If you're angry, you'll get wrinkles, and wrinkles aren't pretty."
Nadine rolled her eyes and mentally cursed Brad. Yet, she couldn't let her anger show with Sean watching. She squeezed her palm to calm herself down.
It was unbelievable that Brad was playing the caring father now. He was infuriating.
Nadine was speechless with anger, and she glared at Brad with frustration. Seeing her like this made Sean nervous. He quickly took another lick of his ice cream. Then, he ran over to Nadine and reached out with his chubby little hand.
"Mommy, please don't be mad. I just wanted to try it. If you don't like me eating it, I won't do it again. It's really good. Please have a bite too, okay?"
He held the ice cream up to Nadine, looking at her with big, pleading eyes.
The moment Sean's soft little hand touched hers, Nadine's anger melted away. She couldn't stay mad at him.
