Chapter 19
Nadine suddenly realized that she didn’t even have a single practical skill. Everything she had learned in school had been completely forgotten.
The supermarket was bustling with people. To Nadine, it felt unfamiliar and noisy–perhaps even a bit intimidating.

is my godson. How can I let him suffer? As long as I’m here, you and your son will have food on the table. Don’t worry.”
Nadine was amused by her words. Her discomfort quickly vanished.
The two of them pushed the shopping cart while selecting items from the shelves.
Just then, a familiar voice called out, “Nadine!”
Following the voice, Nadine spotted Tyler across the aisle.
He stood there with his dark eyes sparkling with joy. As he looked at Nadine, he smiled.
“What a coincidence!” Avery, seeing Tyler, greeted him enthusiastically. “Hi, Tyler! It’s been so long.”
Avery knew quite a bit about Tyler and Nadine’s history.
Considering Nadine was about to divorce Brad, she thought it would be a good idea to set the two up.

Tyler quickly pushed his cart over. “Are you two shopping? It sure is my lucky day today to run into you
two. Since fate has brought us together, how about joining me for a meal?”
As he said this, he took an extra glance at Nadine. She seemed to have lost weight over the past few days and looked weary, as if she wasn’t doing well.
Recalling Brad’s warnings, Nadine didn’t want to interact much with Tyler.

After placing his groceries in the trunk, Tyler opened the car door. “Hop in, ladies.”
After some discussion, they chose a nearby upscale hotel for lunch
Once seated, Tyler handed the menu to Nadine. “Ladies first.”
Sensing Nadine’s reluctance, Avery pinched her waist and grabbed the menu. “I’ll order.”
After ordering, Avery excused herself to the restroom. In fact, she wanted to give the two some alone
time.
Nadine kept her head down without speaking.
Tyler had to break the silence. “Nadine, how is Sean doing? Has he recovered from his cold?”
Nadine glanced at him gratefully. “He’s fully recovered. Thank you for your concern.”
Just then, two people sat down at a table across from her. They were none other than Brad and Jean.
