Chapter 343 If this had been in the past, Sean would have eagerly run to Nadine and handed her the phone, letting her take the call. But today, he felt differently.
Nadine had been hugging Avery and crying quietly in the kitchen, thinking he didn't know. Now that he did know, he couldn't let her suffer anymore. His little lips were pouted, showing no intention of giving the phone to Nadine.
With his left arm injured, he held the smartwatch in his right hand and spoke with a haughty tone to Brad on the other end of the line.

However, Sean had no intention of listening to him. He huffed coldly and hung up the phone. Then he sat by the window and rested his chin on his hand as he gazed outside.
He really wanted Brad's approval, but if earning his approval meant making Nadine sad, he would rather not have it at all.
