Derek was staring wordlessly at Davide. He had so many thoughts going on in his head, however he could not bring himself to formulate an adequate reason for the question asked.
He casually bit into his chicken like he wasn't having a tsunami in his head.
"Because of protection, Davide. I can't love you like I lost my brother". He said.
Davide felt his heart warm up, he never thought that Derek possessed this fear in his heart, this worry for him. He thought at the very least, Derek just acknowledged him as his nephew and there was nothing more to it. But as it seemed, he was quite precious to the man.

However, Avery was standing in front of him. His gaze went past her and landed on Beatrice, "is this some kind of a joke?" Beatrice saw the look on his face. If she wasn't a repentant, she definitely would've attacked him, probably saying something in the lines of: "can you not see she just arrived?"

He wanted to understand that she was having a hard time, from what Beatrice had told him, he could estimate that she lost the baby either last night or this morning. However, he couldn't place where his fault was. He wasn't the one who had downed drugs they shouldn't be taking, he was the one that fell from the staircase. He had lived with her accusations, calling him a gigolo, a cheat, etc. But he would not stand and let her accuse him of killing their child. It was unfair to him.
