"Ah, n-no, that is not it." Nix shook his head at her, still unsure of how to explain the situation to her, and Everly stared at him, not being able to grasp what the problem was.
It is not that he won't take her to meet her parents, but the thing is that if he does, things will get even more complicated.
Why? Because he honestly has no intention of letting Valerio know about it.
If he takes Everly to meet her parents, she will be forced to keep yet another secret.
Things could get even worse if Valerio finds out too.
He can't let anything like that happen. which means he won't let Everly meet her parents just yet.
At least, he needs their relationship to get a bit stronger so that things won't escalate to a very bad point where things would come crashing down.
He analyzed his thoughts and lifted his head to look at her.
