Brad had thoroughly investigated Nadine's purpose in coming to Pittsbrew as well as her schedule. He knew her itinerary like the back of his hand.
The seminar was organized by Sebastian-a man Brad despised. Regardless, Brad still ensured Nadine could participate smoothly without interference.
He was fully aware that the seminar would conclude at noon, so he timed his arrival perfectly.
Brad heard the professors' enthusiastic chatter about Sebastian and Nadine being a couple. His deep-seated jealousy finally boiled over. He couldn't hold it in and shouted his grievances.

With his left hand, he held onto a handslittle boy dressed in a matching suit. Sean's bright eyes and fair skin made him look like a miniature version of Brad. The crowd, still in shock from Brad's outburst, began to notice the resemblance between Sean and Nadine. After scrutinizing Sean for a moment, they realized he indeed bore a striking resemblance to her.
The professors then realized they had misunderstood the nature of the relationship. They exchanged awkward glances, unsure of what to say.
"What? Nadine is so young, and she already has a child?" "Exactly! Look at the boy—he's almost identical to Nadine. He must be her son indeed." "Wow. Nadine must have had a child really early." "But wait... If Nadine already has a child, what's going on between her and Mr.
Caldwell?" The discussion quickly shifted focus to Nadine.
"Who knows? But the man with the child doesn't look like a good person. Maybe he treated Nadine poorly, and she doesn't like him." "Yeah, he looks so angry. He might even be abusive. We should warn Nadine to stay away from him." Eventually, one of the professors asked her, "Nadine, who is this man? He seems so intimidating." Another said, "That's right, Nadine. He looks like trouble. You should keep your distance from him." Listening to their comments, Nadine suppressed a smile and calmly explained, "Professors, please don't misunderstand. I have no relationship with this man. The child, however, is my son, Sean." Since her divorce from Brad, Nadine no longer had any ties to him.
Sean was a different matter altogether, though. He was the treasure she had risked her life to bring into the world, and she was proud to introduce him to everyone.
"Oh, the child really does look like you. Look at that face and those expressions. He's unmistakably yours." "He's got fair skin and big, bright eyes. He certainly is your child. So adorable!" Someone then asked tentatively, "But who's the father? Could it be Mr. Caldwell over here?" Nadine had already clarified that she and Brad were unrelated and that Sean was her biological son. Now, curiosity about Sean's father began to stir among the professors.
Nadine simply smiled without responding.
Seeing Nadine from afar, Sean wriggled free from Brad's hand and dashed toward her. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and looked up with a sweet smile. "Mommy, is your meeting over? Can we go hnow?" Sean had spent the entire morning with Brad playing to his heart's content. He had even bought gifts for his best friend, Keira. Now all he wanted was to return to Janetera City and deliver those gifts.

When Sean heard that the meeting was over, he couldn't contain his couldn't e excitement. His first question to her was when they could leave.
Initially, Nadine had planned to stay another day to organize her notes before heading back. However, seeing Sean so eager to leave, she changed her mind.
"When does my baby want to leave?" she asked gently.
"Now," Sean blurted out without hesitation.
