BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 869
Chapter 869
The evening breeze gently lifted the hem of Daniel's coat. There was an
indescribable tenderness on his face. Nadine noticed a glint of joy in his eyes
and
chose to listen quietly as he continued.
Even though he was well into his 50s and had streaks of white in his hair, he still
carried an elegance few could hope to match. His gaze softened as he thought of
his late wife.
"But do you know what real courage is like, Nad? It's not about holding grudges
or
being unforgiving. It's about looking past each other's flaws and still choosing to
love.
"Love isn't about finding someone perfect or breaking up when things get hard, and it's definitely not about switching partners when you get bored. Love is about being brave and kind, staying loyal well after the excitement fades.
"When you've lived a little longer, you'll realize that changing yourself is easier
than changing someone else. You have to let people be themselves and give yourself the freedom to be yourself.
"The flaws you see in Brad might not exist in someone else, but that other person will have flaws that Brad doesn't have. If you can accept Brad's imperfections, stay with him.
"Changing partners will not make things better. You'll still have to spend time and
energy getting to know someone new, and that's only going to raise the cost of starting over."
Having been through it himself, Daniel could offer her hard-won lessons from his own experiences.
When Brad's mother passed, Daniel was devastated for a long time. When Adam arranged for him to marry Evelyn, he'd thought maybe she could fill the void and give him a sense of home again.
However, life didn't work like that. Replacing one person wouldn't fix everything.
Daniel still couldn't forget his first wife or let go of the past. There was a time when
he had tried to force himself to accept Evelyn, but it never worked.
Nadine stood there quietly, letting the night wind carry Daniel's words to her. She
listened intently, absorbing every word he shared.
After hearing him out, she sighed
and said, "I get what you're saying,
Daniel. And I know that the issues in
my marriage with Brad aren't entirely
his fault. But love has to go both
ways. Brad doesn't love me. So, no
matter how true your advice rings, it
doesn't apply here.
"I know you mean well, and I'm
grateful for your concern. But I just
don't have the courage to love
anymore. Maybe I've been hurt too
deeply to muster that courage.
Thank you, Daniel, for sharing all this
with me, but I need to pick Sean up
now. You should also go to the
hospital."
Knowing Brad was being taken to the hospital, she figured Daniel was probably
in
a rush himself. He wouldn't be waiting around for her if he didn't have something
important to tell her.

then forget it. But I do have one request. Please, check on Brad when you have
time. He has feelings for you, I'm sure of it.

David? If you didn't matter, why would he rush to Pittsbrew with Sean overnight?
He's just too stubborn and proud to admit it."
Not wanting to annoy Nadine, Daniel decided to stop there. He climbed into his
car and drove off toward the hospital.
Nadine stood rooted to the spot,
waving at the car with a heavy heart
as it drove off. Daniel's last words
had struck a nerve. She couldn't
deny that she probably held a
special place in Brad's heart,
especially since he shielded her
from that knife.
But there was a huge difference between having someone in your heart and truly

two of them would never have parted
ways.
