451 Nicholas Helps Sophie Buy A House

Nicholas wanted to roll his eyes when he heard his mother. She was so good with words and could be manipulative for sure. He regretted that she did manipulate him many times when he was younger and didn't know better.

However, even though his mother was this way, he couldn't hate her. That's just who she was. Everything she did was according to what she thought was best for her son and their family.

Nicholas would never forget how much she worked so hard to protect him from his father who hated lycans. She always chose him over her husband. Even though it cost her their relationship which was not great, to begin with. She prioritized Nicholas above everything else.

After he became an adult, Nicholas started to see things more clearly and had a better understanding of his parents' relationship. Even though his mother never admitted it, Nicholas could see that his father didn't love her and by extension, didn't love him.
