Nick's eyes widened in surprise, his hand freezing mid-stir as he mixed the hot chocolate. The spoon clinked against the mug, the sound echoing in the silent kitchen. He couldn't process what he'd just heard. Amelia's words replayed in his mind, leaving him stunned and unsure of what to say next.
"You don't think I'm a hypocrite?" he asked, bewildered. He'd always bragged about keeping Amelia as his sis, so he figured she'd be mad.
"I already told you, I want to keep this marriage going 'cause I don't plan on finding another guy in the future, right?" Amelia reminded him of their conversation from a few months back. "And you've let go of Olivia, haven't you?"
Nick nodded slowly, unsure of what to say. He swallowed hard, wetting his lips with his tongue. "Alright then. Guess I overreacted thinking you'd be mad at me." He managed a small smile.
