Chapter 87

"Why?" I replied his question with another.

"..." He went silent and just stirred the eggs.

"Yeah, I went with him," I answered. If I wanted him and Uche to start talking again, maybe I have to do this.

"Yours," Nick gave me a plate of the eggs he just made. I took a fork and ate while standing with him in the kitchen. "Julie go eat somewhere else." He turned to me after a while.

"Why?" I asked with my mouth full.

"Why did you think I handed you your plate? So you could go eat in the dining. I don't wanna see you."

"Oh." I swallowed and made a sad face, but unfortunately, that didn't work on Nick as much as it worked on Uche.

"Nick, is breakfast ready?" My aunt came back. Nick didn't answer, instead, he took a plate for her and kept it on the dining table.

"Why are you standing and eating?" My aunt asked, concerned.

"Yeah, Julie. Why are you eating in the kitchen while standing?" Nick didn't miss the opportunity to ridicule me.
