Now, she's back to putting Nick first and has lost all of the admirable qualities she had.But Adalind’s behavior puts her in a positive light with Nick and his friends. And everyone acting as though the kidnapping never happened is absurd, especially Adalind.

As a lawyer, it’s reasonable to believe Adalind would have had a financial portfolio and not been immediately destitute after leaving the law firm. Considering her history with Nick, it isn’t believable that she didn’t worry Nick would take Kelly from her and wasn’t anxious to get back to work and earn a much needed income.

Prior to her arrival at the mansion, their conversations had been brief and to the point. Based on their history, I imagine Renard assumed sex was on the table. He probably assumed Nick and Adalind were having sex, but he was surprised to realize Adalind might actually have feelings for Nick. And based on his experience with Adalind, his assumption and surprise is understandable. I’m not agreeing with him, but he had no way of knowing Adalind had changed. Nick was having sex with Adalind and didn’t trust her or care about her other than as the mother of his son, so Renard’s opinion of her wasn’t much different than Nick’s.(01-26-2017, 05:55 PM)irukandji Wrote:IMO reason Sean treats Adalind like dirt is he sees her as a whore. Adalind did not have sex with Nick right away and Nick was kind to her.(01-26-2017, 05:19 PM)MarylikesGrimm Wrote: Sean should not expect sex from Adalind.....What difference would sex with Renard make to Adalind? She was no lily white maiden who had pledged herself to Nick. She's used sex in the past as a tool to get what she wanted. What would have been the harm in having sex with him? She's technically his wife via the ring anyway.
IMO Sean was rude to Adalind right away asking her about her feeling for Nick. Adalind is the mother of two children she should be respected. She should have her own bedroom if she wants. It is not like Sean will change Kelly's diapers like Nick and Adalind likes to sleep with her kids but not with Sean.

But we discussed this topic before, and the show didn't provide Nick inheriting anything from his parents' deaths or Marie's. The money was just there in Nick's case and absent in Adalind's.

I haven't so this is just my opinion so do waste your two cents.Nick and Adalind lived together because of Kelly. And one of them fell in love.
