Nadine hated the man who had assaulted her back then. She longed to drag him to court and see him behind bars where he would pay for what he did. But she despised Julia even more.
She would much rather stay in the dark about who her assaulter was than have to ask Julia for help. The mere thought of asking Julia for help felt more painful than death itself.

Back then, she had cursed him and loathed him with all her being. But what did any of it accomplish besides tearing herself apart? Eventually, Avery advised her to let it go, to stop dwelling on painful memories, and to look ahead. It was only then that she gradually learned to let the past rest.

Hence, she ignored him and turned her attention to Sean instead. "Have you had enough to eat, baby? Do you want anything else?" she asked gently.
She didn't want to argue in front of Sean. She only wanted this meal to be over and done with so they could part ways and move on.
