Chapter 101: Insecurities
Andrew rested his head at the backrest of the car seat. They were on their way to the restaurant to meet Luke and the others. He tried to calm himself and didn’t want to get mad at Nina.
Nina was anxious because Andrew was quiet from the moment they left the mall. He’s not saying anything and would not talk to her.
They decided not to bring Brie and dropped her at home. Andrew had a headache, so he asked his driver to take them to the restaurant.
Nina took a deep breath and bit her lips, mustering her courage to talk to Andrew.
"Andrew, can we talk?"
Andrew didn’t answer.
"I didn’t tell you because they worked for James. What would other people say if I asked you to take them in? I don’t want us to talk about James anymore. I don’t want you to see him in me, in Brie, or to the people who used to work for him. I don’t want any memory of him. I want him completely out of my life, our lives. I caused you a lot of pain when I decided to marry him, and I don’t want to hurt you anymore." She said in a gentle voice.
Andrew sighed and finally looked at Nina.
"James was your husband and Brie’s father for four years. We can’t change that. There will be times that we have to talk about him. I would understand if you and Brie would mention his name from time to time." He said.
"A-Andrew, I promise I won’t mention his name in front of you. I-I"
