“How could you?” Noah demands, his voice raw. “You knew I was regretting how I treated her. You knew I wanted a chance and you took her from me.”
A humorless laugh leaves me, and I shake my head. “Are you serious right now? I didn’t even know who she was… And I met her when you were still treating her like shit.”
Gunner looks between us, completely lost. “What the hell is going on?” he asks.
Noah lets out a harsh breath. “He’s dating Sierra.”
Gunner freezes. “…What?”
He looks at me, then at Noah, then back at me.
“How the hell is that even possible?”
I shrug, running a hand through my hair. “She came to my clinic for a prenatal checkup… I asked her out and she said yes.”
Gunner blinks. “And you had no idea who she was?”
“Yes,” I snap.
“Bullshit,” Noah cuts in immediately. “We’ve talked about her so many times. There’s no way you didn’t know who she was.”
“Did either of you ever show me her picture?” I shoot back. “Did you ever say her full name?”
They both shut their mouths, looking at each other.
I let out a sharp breath. “That’s what I thought.”
Gunner rubs the back of his neck.
“You only ever referred to her as Si." I add, “And Noah never ever spoke her name.”
Noah clenches his jaw. “What about tabloids?” he argues. “She’s been in them before.”
Gunner snorts. “Adrian doesn’t read gossip.”
I nod my head. “So how exactly was I supposed to know that ‘Si’ and Sierra were the same person?”
No one answers.
Gunner then looks at me again. “Did she ever mention Noah? Or Lilly? Or the Wood family? Or me?”
I shake my head. “At first, she was guarded but then she started opening up slowly and even then, she never mentioned Noah. Just said her baby daddy hurt her and she didn’t like talking about him… she did mention Lilly but never her last name, so I didn’t think anything of it because there are a million Lillys out there.”
Gunner nods slowly. “That actually makes sense… Sierra’s always been like that. She doesn’t like people knowing about her connection to the Wood family because people try to get close to her for the wrong reasons.”
