In France, the Anderson family had put Nathaniel in one of the best schools; in which, he was looking at subjects that can be useful to him, when choosing a university career and they were also teaching him several languages.
At first, Nathan had a hard time adjusting to his new life, but little by little and with the help of his family and some members of the Cartwright family, he began to get used to it, although not completely.
While in the United States, Sookie had to overcome all kinds of obstacles in order to survive, in France, Nathan had a seemingly normal life without any setbacks.
Despite that, he couldn't help feeling sad and lonely, because he didn't have Sookie by his side and that made his life in France hell.
He did not want to go out with any woman and as much as everyone was insisting that he start dating women and fall in love, he kept his word and told his entire family and the Cartwrights that, without his girlfriend by his side, he was not interested in any woman.
"Son, you have to start dating other women. You will not expect to stay single your whole life," his mother told him, encouraging him to start dating other women.
"Really mommy you don't understand! I am a one-woman man. I don't have eyes for any other," Nathan told him, annoyed to see and hear that his family; especially, his mother, insisted on the same.
"My son, don't be rude to your mom. If he tells you that, it is because he wants the best for you, it is everything and the same, it happens to each one of us. We always want the best for you", her dad told her annoyed.
"My good? You didn't think of that when you dragged me out of Cape May and didn't let me say goodbye to my wife!
You only thought of yourselves and of saving yourself, but you never thought of me or my feelings; far from it, how in love I still am with her.
I fully understand the situation of the Cartwright family and I know that they are not to blame for this and I also know that they had no choice but to flee Cape May, but at least they had to let me say goodbye to my wife, like I would have liked to and they wouldn't let me, "Nathan replied, even more annoyed than his dad.
"Forgive us," said the Cartwright family, at the same time.
"It is not your fault that all this is happening. What bothers me is that they are forcing me to date women, when they won't let me say goodbye to the only woman I love with all my heart," Nathan said, trying to calm himself down.
"Son ..." Caroline Holden tried to say.
"Mom, I don't want to talk to you and I don't know how long it will take to trust you again.
I remember that the first person I told I was in love with was precisely you, and what was your reaction? His reaction was negative. She told me that she didn't suit me and that I should forget about her.
And, now it comes to me that I have to go out with other women. I can listen to anyone, except you and you, earned this, freehand.
I don't trust what you cook for me, what you tell me and what you are supposed to do for me," Nathan finished saying, as he went to his room.
"Son ..." Caroline Holden tried again.
"Love, leave it. After listening to him, I do not blame him at all, in his behavior towards you and I also reproach you the same and if I want my son to smile again and trust me more, the best thing is that we divorce, because our son He's above everyone, including you" Cody concluded.
"Love ..." Caroline Holden tried to say.
"Please take your things and go. When I leave my son's room, I don't want to see you here. I don't know what I feel about you anymore," Cody concluded, as he went to his son's room.
Caroline, sad, went to her room, packed her things and left. In Nathan's room, Cody had, for the first time, an adult conversation with his son.
"Son, I want you to listen to me until the end and please don't interrupt me at all. I have not trusted your mother for years and if I have endured her these years, it is because of you, because I wanted you to grow up with your parents, by your side.
The reason why I have been mistrusting your mother for a long time is because she had a lover and that lover was nobody but my cousin.
Your mom, had that adulterous relationship, without thinking about anyone else and without thinking about you, who are her son.
As in any case of adultery, always the husband is the last to find out about everything and that happened to me. I found out the truth from Jeremy Cartwright, who saw them in a restaurant, kissing passionately.
The first thing I did was to get my cousin out of the house, taking absolutely everything from him and from that moment on, I have not spoken to him again, because for me, he is dead.
When I wanted to do exactly the same with your mother, she told me that she is pregnant with him; I mean, Steve, he's your half brother.
After finding out the truth, I began to sleep with you, until the moment of fleeing Cape May and I neglected your mother completely, leaving her with that responsibility that she sought for herself.
I didn't know that you had told your mom about your love relationship with your baby and if I had known, I would not only have supported you unconditionally; rather, I would have told you to take her home, to meet my daughter-in-law.
Recently, I asked your mom to pack her things and leave the house, after seeing the terrible relationship you have with her and I don't blame you for that, "Cody ended up saying.
"Thank you Daddy for this vote of confidence and I adore and support him unconditionally in everything," Nathan said, hugging his dad tightly.
"And I also adore you, my prince and in love, you look too much like me, when we love, we love a single woman, with all our heart and giving absolutely everything in our relationships," said his father, who was also hugging her son.
By the time the two left Nathan's room, Caroline had already left the house, with her son Steve.
They all came to the conclusion that Caroline leaving the house with Steve was for the best and that, in the future, they might reconcile, but not for now.
After two years, Nathan and Sookie, along with their respective friends, graduated with honors and with excellent recommendations for top colleges.
