"What?" Linda's expression instantly turned ugly, unable to believe it. "Impossible. The timing matches, and I have memories of it. How could it not be Mr. York? You must have made a mistake.""It's just so coincidental!" the person on the phone said. "When I heard they were looking for someone, I thought you must have hit the jackpot. But it turns out we were all mistaken. The room number was wrong, and the person that night wasn't Mr. York. He was a man in his forties or fifties."Now Linda's face went pale, and she glanced at her belly, becoming agitated. "How could I possibly be pregnant with a child from a man in his forties or fifties?"This was a huge letdown.She had been living in a bubble of happiness.If she hadn't been given such high expectations, she wouldn't have held onto hope.When she found out the man from that night was Nash, she thought it was the smartest thing she had ever done in her life.To hook such a rich and handsome man so quickly.But reality told
Nash's words also caught Quincy off guard.Quincy thought to himself, "No, it couldn't be. Linda was pregnant, and she was the woman from that night. The child must be his.""Let's go," Nash suddenly said."Okay," Quincy started the car.Nash frowned. "I meant get out of the car!""Mr. York, don't you have a meeting to attend? They're all waiting, and there's too many people here!" Quincy observed the crowded area, knowing it would be congested.It wasn't unusual for Nina to be here, but for him to come without security clearing the area, given his typical lifestyle habits, he wouldn't fancy going this route.Nash stared at Quincy calmly and said, "Don't you enjoy places like this?""Huh?" Quincy was taken aback. Since when did he like coming to places like this? But seeing Nash's sharp gaze, he could only nod. "Yes, yes, I enjoy coming here.""Alright, let's get out!" Nash turned his gaze outside.He got out of the car first, watching the bustling crowd, unable to fathom why
Fortunately, the boss was prepared and had already hidden before Nash’s second shot."Quincy, did I hit it?" Nash asked absentmindedly."...," Quincy looked at the pale-faced boss, "You almost did!"As Scott was being hugged by Nina, he witnessed her happiness for the first time and paused for a moment. Then, he smiled as he gently said, "No need to rush now, right?""Not anymore, I'm very happy," Nina smiled.The boss also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Young man, you're very skilled. Not many people can hit the one at the back!"He quickly handed giant brown bear soft toy over to Nina.Nina hugged it, feeling a sense of relief as if something that belonged to her had finally arrived."There are still so many hoops left, what should we do?" Scott said."We'll toss them all. We will take whichever one we hook," replied Nina."Alright." Scott agreed, still skilled in the game. Each toss was precise, catching only trivial prizes that served no real purpose ex
Quincy, however, was sweating profusely. This was his livelihood. How could he not follow Nash along? Seeing Nash's displeased expression, he added, "Mr. York, don't be upset. Nina still wants to play. How about we join them?"Nash replied sourly, "Who wants to be with her?"Not wanting to push it further, Nina turned to Scott and said, "There are many more fun things up ahead. Let's go check them out.""Okay," Scott glanced at Nash again. "Mr. York, I’ll go ahead first."The two continued walking ahead.Watching their backs, Nash's expression darkened. "Quincy, do you want to go with them?""Of course, of course!" Quincy immediately called out. "Nina, I'd like to join you."With that, Nash followed suit.Trailing behind them, his gaze naturally fell on the brown bear soft toy that Nina clung to tightly. "Just a small toy makes her so happy," he thought. Her excitement just now seemed as if she had found the world's greatest treasure. Yet, it was just a cheap toy!He cou
"Is this big enough?" Nash asked. "Isn't it better looking than the one you have?"Nina looked at the bear, even taller than him, realizing she couldn't carry it without dragging it on the ground. She quickly shook her head, "I don't want it, it's too big, and I don't like it."Nash's expression darkened instantly. "Isn't this better than the one you have? Take it!" He tossed it over with one hand.Nina looked at the bear she was holding, then another one was thrown at her. She was already carrying too much, and she felt like she was suffocating."Nash, stop it!" Nina didn't want them to fall on the ground. She struggled to get her head out and spoke.Nash remained silent, his expression cold. He couldn't understand. Wasn't she supposed to like big soft toys? This one was even bigger than the one she had, why wasn't she excited? Why couldn't she be happy?Where did he go wrong?Nina realized her words might have hurt his pride too much, so she softened her tone, "It's too heavy,
She cleaned the wound with disinfectant before bandaging it. Soon after, Quincy parked the car by the side of the road.Nina assisted Nash into the car, glancing briefly at Scott. In that momentary look, Nash sensed her genuine concern for Scott.Scott broke the silence, speaking gently, "You should head back first. Mr. York is injured and requires someone to look after him." He was offering Nina an out, understanding her responsibilities. After all, Mr. York was her employer, and she needed to think about the bigger picture.Nina waved to Scott, saying, "Then I'll head back first. Thanks for taking me out today.""You're welcome," Scott replied as the car door closed.Initially, Quincy had thought to get in the car, but remembering something, he walked over to Scott with a smile. "Mr. Lucas, thank you for your assistance." Quincy politely took the pink bear soft toy from Scott. After all, it was Mr. York who had won it back for Nina. It wouldn't be right for someone else to tak
Nash returned from outside, his expression indifferent, as he listened to others report on work."Mr. York, everything is arranged for one o'clock in the afternoon," someone reported promptly.Nash glanced towards Nina, who was busy nearby, and coldly called out, "Nina."Nina hurried over, "Mr. York.""If you're free this afternoon, come along," Nash stated bluntly.Everyone present was surprised by his decision. This kind of task was tough and tiresome, and no woman would willingly go. It was usually assigned to men. Nina was the only woman present. With the blazing sun outside, and considering Nina's attire - a dress and heels - it wasn't convenient for her to squat down or walk. It wasn't suitable for her to go.But no one dared to disobey Nash's orders. Nina had to comply with the arrangement. She replied, "Alright, Mr. York.""Okay," Nash responded nonchalantly before heading towards the office direction."I'll accompany you, Nina," Taylor offered to share the burden wit
Upon seeing him remain silent, Hunter stood up and approached him, remarking, "Your wife was chosen by your grandfather, and she's not bad at all. She's obedient and sensible, and she doesn't mind your extramarital affairs. What is there to be unhappy about?"Nash remained silent for a moment before responding, "Indeed, having an obedient and sensible wife is a good choice.""Well, well, I see your attention is on her now. You're not developing feelings for her, are you?" Hunter sensed that something was off about Nash. Even if he mistreated her, he shouldn't be unhappy himself.However, as they watched her from upstairs, she seemed to get along well with her male colleagues. Hunter smiled and commented, "It seems like your wife is quite popular. She gets along with everyone. Didn't you mention the possibility of divorcing her in the future? After the divorce, she'll probably have many suitors!"Hunter's statement caused Nash's brows to furrow even deeper. It was true that Nina had
