Chapter 3
Brett was about to leave his house and attend his master's class when he noticed his mom sitting at their bar counter. She was drinking whiskey. He looks at his wrist watch and saw that it was just 8 in the morning.
He walked towards her as he kissed her cheek and warmly greeted her.

“𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐦.”
Natasha Thorpe - Brett's Mom
“𝐎𝐡, 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐧.”
Brett Thorpe
“𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝟖 𝐚𝐦?”
Natasha nodded as she grabs the glass with the hard liquor and drank it.
Brett could not help it but heave out a heavy sigh.
Natasha seems to notice her son’s foul mood as she tried to say something,
Natasha Thorpe - Brett's Mom
“𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭. 𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈’𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬.”
Brett just shook his head and went straight to the door.
Before he could run towards his car, his mother stops his tracks.
Natasha Thorpe - Brett's Mom
“𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠?”
His mother follow him unknowingly.
Brett Thorpe
“𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐦 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐚𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬’ 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬.”
Natasha's face crinkled. She looks at him suspiciously.
Natasha Thorpe - Brett's Mom
“𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥… 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞, 𝐉𝐉?”
Brett Thorpe
“𝐍𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐦, 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐉𝐉.”
Shiela breathes out a sigh of relief.
Natasha Thorpe - Brett's Mom
“𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧. 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫. 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐰𝐡**𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝. 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐲, 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲. 𝐇𝐚! 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲.”
Brett doesn’t want to hear any more of his mother's drama so he boarded his car and drive directly to his university. He will just visit Louis after his class.
While driving, Brett remembers what his mother told him. She said, JJ is not the real daughter of Shiela and Joaquin Dean.
JJ’s real mother, Sandra died early because of colon cancer. As her real mother is a close friend of the Dean’s, she was adopted by them.
He might not know what is the real story behind his mother’s animosity towards JJ’s real mother but based on the rumors he heard, Sandra used to be his dad’s ex-girlfriend.
The two were rumored to be in an intimate relationship way back when and his mother doesn’t view that favorably.
