Chapter 85 - Brie (1/2)

”Mommy!”

A voice of a young girl was heard inside the restaurant. Nina was surprised to see her daughter running towards her.

”Brie! What are you doing here?” Nina asked while glancing at James.

”I want to surprise you.” The little girl answered.

Nina's heart was pounding. She glanced at Andrew then at her friends. She took a deep breath before introducing the girl to them.

”This is Brie. My daughter.” She said.

Andrew gritted his teeth. He couldn't believe that Nina would have a kid from her betrayal. His heart was being torn into pieces as he stared at the girl who looked exactly like her mother.

He remembered the time when Nina was pregnant with their child. He was so happy. But the baby died as soon as it was born. He was devastated.

Thinking about what had happened, Andrew was thinking that Nina didn't take care of herself when she was pregnant with their child since she was already working with Paolo Santelmo back then.

”Say hi to them, Brie.” Nina said.

The girl shyly turned to them and smiled.

”M-My name is Brie. Nice to meet you.” The little girl greeted them.

Andrew couldn't say a word anymore. His heart was being crushed by Nina over and over again. He already had enough. She looked happy and content with her life now so he should also start forgetting about her.

Dinner ended, and Andrew didn't even understand what they had discussed. He would just nod every time Luke would ask him something. He would sometimes glance at Nina, who was busy giving food to her daughter.

He stood up and went to the restroom to calm himself. When he got out, he bumped into someone and saw Nina.

Her eyes widened. She thought Andrew already left the restaurant. She didn't expect that he was still here.

”I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't-”

”Shut up! I don't want to hear anything from you! You disgust me!” He yelled.

”A-Andrew, l-let me explain.” She stammered.

Andrew smirked then grabbed her shoulder, pushing her against the wall.

”Explain? Do you really think I need your explanation? You're four years too late! So did you use your body to get that guy like you? I can see that you are happy with him.” He said with gritted teeth.

”Andrew, it's not what you think. Please listen.” She begged.

”Stop. Please stop, Nina. You can't just leave like that then come back like nothing happened. You hurt me and our friends. I am honestly thankful that my mom was alive because of you, but you can't change the fact that you betrayed all of us.”

Then Andrew turned around and left.

After dinner, they said goodbye to her friends and went home. Luke said that they will contact them once they talk to the others.

On the way home, James looked at her and sighed. Brie fell asleep on Nina's lap while Nina was just staring outside.

”So? What did he tell you?” He asked.

Nina turned her gaze to James and smiled.

”Nothing. He's mad at me of course.” She simply answered, but then she remembered what James told her friends.
