NovelStartChapter 669 Evelyn had put a lot of effort into that night's family dinner. Not only did she urge Daniel to attend, but she had gone out of her way to seek Adam out. After all, it wouldn't feel right to have a family gathering without everyone present.
Evelyn had also arranged a seat for Jean and reminded her to keep her mouth shut, behave, and seize the opportunity to make a good impression on Adam. That way, once Nadine and Brad divorced, Adam might consider Jean as his potential granddaughter-in-law.
Even though Daniel had given her a hard twhen she asked him, Evelyn still managed to persuade him with a smile. When Gigi learned that Jean was coming, a smile crept onto her face. She snorted and held her head high as she walked past Nadine. She then rolled her eyes at her before going outside to welcJean.

Brad, however, noticed the way Gigi was treating Nadine and snapped at her, "What do you think you're doing, Gigi Hamilton? Is that any way to treat your sister-in-law?" He was walking on eggshells around Nadine, but that didn't mean he would stand for anyone treating her poorly. Gigi was about to snap back, but after catching a warning look from her mother and remembering the trouble she had recently gotten into, she grudgingly backed down.
She reluctantly glanced at Nadine and muttered, "Sorry, I was acting out of line earlier." Brad's gaze focused on Nadine. "If her apology doesn't seem sincere to you, I can make her apologize again." His gaze was soft and full of affection as he looked at her. Even Adam couldn't help but glance at Brad a couple more times, giving him a look of approval.
Nadine couldn't care less about Gigi and didn't want to waste her energy on the young lady. "It's alright," she responded apathetically. Gigi had always treated her like this. If she wanted revenge, she could exact it herself. She didn't need Brad's help, nor did she want to owe him anything.
The incident ended without much fuss.
Nadine felt very uncomfortable as Brad's gaze was constantly on her. So, she decided to get up and takez Sean to the second floor to play, hoping to escape his unnerving attention. However, as soon as she rose from her seat to leave, Brad followed her like a shadow.
Nadine was about to tell him off when he noticed her gaze and stopped dead in his tracks, pointing toward the second floor.
"I'm just going to get something." His right arm was injured, in a cast and sling, so he had to use his uninjured left hand to gesture.
Nadine looked at his injured arm and decided not to say a word. She held Sean's hand and stepped aside to give him space. Brad, worried about annoying Nadine, didn't make a sound as he walked past her and slowly went up the stairs.

Travis immediately handed him a glass of water and reminded, "Mr. Hamilton Sentor, you've already taken your medication three times today. You really shouldn't take anymore." Adam rolled his eyes at him. "Mind your own business!" Travis was about to say something else when Daniel walked over, prompting him to step back in silence.
Adam glanced at his son and then at Evelyn, who was busy directing the housekeeper's in preparation for the family dinner. His expression hardened as he said, "These den?
