Chapter 476

Nathalie was in a bit of a fog for a while.

"What did you just say? Nathan has a kid?" she asked, caught between laughter and disbelief, thinking it had to be some kind of mix-up. "How old is the child?"

Lizzy replied, "About two or three."

Nathalie quickly did the math in her head and shook her head in disbelief. "That can't be right. Nathan's only twenty now. Three or four years ago, he was still underage. With his by-the-book personality, he'd never do something so outlandish." People do tend to cling to their first impressions, and Lizzy stuck to her guns. "But he told us himself, this little girl is his daughter."

Lizzy's firm stance made Nathalie hesitate.

"Seriously?"

Lizzy nodded. "Sis, I'm not pulling your leg. What he did was definitely not classy, but haven't you always said he's been good to you? Maybe cut him some slack this one time?" Nathalie's face clouded over.

Lizzy tried to soothe her, "Come on, think about it. He was just a kid himself back then. Consider it a youthful mistake and let it slide this once."

Nathalie wobbled to her feet, still struggling to wrap her head around it. "I can't believe he'd do something so ridiculous."

"If the kid's got a mom, and he was involved enough to have a child, he should step up. How can he just walk away? That's heartless."

Nathan, taking Dominick's advice, decided to lay it all out for Nathalie before introducing her to Minnie.
