Chapter 217

Author: Faith Shaw
"I have some matters to deal with at the company. Once you've sorted out your uncle's affairs, it's best not to delay work," his words left no room for debate.

She had another identity, that of Nash's secretary. Despite being separated from life, work had to be done well.

For Nina, her time at work would not last much longer. Today seemed to be her last day. Yet, she still had to fulfill her month's work as no one would be exempt from financial penalties.

If she did not show up for work, her pay would still be deducted. A few days spent in her hometown had already consumed her vacation days.

When she eventually resigned from the York Corporation, it would mark a new beginning. She needed to plan her future path carefully.

After much hesitation, Nina finally agreed. "Alright, Mr. York."

Satisfied with her answer, Nash shifted his gaze forward and Nina followed behind him.

As usual, they maintained their professional relationship, leaving behind their roles as husband and w

    Nash furrowed his brows, then asked coldly, "Was not it said that the standoff lasted for over ten minutes? No one actually showed up for that long? And in the end, it was that woman who fell off accidentally.""In the room, there were only Miranda and Linda. I thought chatting was not a big deal and did not think much about it. As for the bodyguards who were supposed to protect Miranda, it just happened that she sent them away that day." The assistant recalled everything from that day, her voice trembling slightly, afraid of being blamed by Nash.As Miranda's assistant, she had not played much of a role at a critical moment."Who called the police?" Nash asked again. "The police arrived so quickly."Based on the speed of the police response at that time, it could not be that they knew someone was targeting Miranda before calling the police. It must have been before.The assistant hesitated and did not speak. She did not know who called the police, but the police had already arriv

    He said it without any hint of coldness or indifference, "Nina's thorough questioning is also for Miranda's own good. This matter revolves around her, which is far from simple. With the uproar on the internet, there will be many doubters, far more than those questioned by Miranda. We need to find a way to silence them!"Miranda was a public figure. When a public figure was abducted and harmed, it was not just a simple case of an ordinary person being injured. Even if it were an ordinary person, it would still make headlines. But with Miranda as the main character, the situation will escalate into a major public opinion issue. Miranda knew the matter would escalate and she would surely make the headlines. But if she did not handle it this way, that woman would give birth to Nash's child! She would not allow any other woman to have Nash's child. Besides her, no one was worthy! If Linda had just lost the child, that would have been fine. She knew Nash would not like her, at most, she

    At least from his perspective, Nash and Miranda appeared innocent. They always maintained a proper distance. Despite the rampant rumors suggesting they were romantically involved, he did not think so. There might be aspects he was not aware of, but it definitely was not love.Nina chuckled, "Quincy, why are you suddenly talking to me about this? Don't you already know? That day you were there too. Nash and I are destined to divorce sooner or later."Explaining to her was pointless now. Nash started the entertainment company for Miranda, surpassing everyone else in this regard. Quincy knew this, but he still felt their marriage was not as superficial as it seemed. "I'll ask a personal question if you don't mind. Do you want to divorce Mr. York?"At this question, Nina hesitated a bit. In the past, she definitely did not want to divorce. She had been dedicated to Nash for so many years, wishing their marriage could be happy. But reality did not allow it. She could not evade reality an

    Her decision surprised Quincy a bit. Since she started working at York Corporation, he had watched her grow step by step. After working together for so many years, her sudden departure felt a bit bittersweet. But ultimately, it was Nina's personal choice.Quincy asked, "Are you really sure about this decision?"Nina smiled calmly, her emotions in check. She did not mention any elaborate plans for careful consideration. Sometimes, certain things needed to be let go of. It was a process of detachment and it was her rational choice. After all, one must love themselves first."I've made up my mind," she said.She glanced up at the sky where a few birds were circling, longing for freedom."I can't stay at York Corporation forever. I need to go out and explore more."Quincy respected Nina's decision. "Well, I hope you find happiness in the future."Nina looked at Quincy and smiled. "I will."At that moment, Nash emerged from the hospital room, unaware of their conversation. However,

    It was like he was nitpicking at her, but it was not too serious. Maybe she was just overthinking it. She followed and got into the car.As the car started, Nash held a tablet in his hand, and the atmosphere remained silent just like before. Nina also sensed it. Since she returned from her hometown, their relationship had become distant and indifferent. Nash seemed to be deliberately keeping his distance from her. Perhaps it was because of Miranda.Nash looked at the tablet, his face expressionless, his slender fingers scrolling across the screen. Then, in a subdued tone, he said, "It's getting late. I'll take you home." It was already evening when they returned from the hospital. Nina did not want to trouble Nash. By then, if he could not explain himself clearly to Miranda, she would still bear the blame. It was important for her to be cautious and avoid suspicion."No need. My car is still parked at the police station. Just drop me there, and I'll drive home myself," she refused

    "Mr. York, did you forget? Today is the day you and Nina are getting divorced. You should go to the district court to handle the formalities," Quincy reminded once again.Upon hearing this, Nash remained silent!His gaze shifted to the calendar. As soon as today arrived, it marked the completion of their three-year term, as well as the day they agreed to divorce. How time flew by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had been married to Nina for three years. However, Quincy was the one who understood the situation the best.Nash fidgeted with his tie in irritation, then looked at Quincy with an even colder tone, "Did Nina mention this to you?"Quincy sensed his unfriendly tone, making him uncomfortable, but he could only reply, "...Yes.""Are you close to Nina? That she'd tell you about this first?" Nash asked again.Quincy felt a knot in his throat, "We're just colleagues. We exchange a few words casually during work, nothing more."He could not shake off the feeling that Nash

    Nina pursed her lips. "Don't you know I've resigned?""Mr. York hasn't agreed to your resignation yet. There's no one to take over your position. You still need to come to work," Quincy said amiably. "Nina, you can leave the district court and come to the office now."Nina was utterly speechless. The marriage was not dissolved and she still had to work. This was something she had not considered thoroughly. If someone were to take over her job before she resigned from the company, there would not be any complaints. Nina asked again, "If there's someone new to take over my job, can I resign smoothly?""In theory, yes.""Alright, I'll have HR select someone new."With that, Nina hung up the phone. Quincy breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed a daunting task. Nash listened attentively, knowing Nina did not have an obsession with divorce and she would not resign from the company. He could finally relax, waiting for Nina to return.Nina drove away from the district court.

    Nina's gaze remained on the documents as she calmly said, "I'm still in my position, and Mr. York also needs a new secretary. Naturally, I'll do my duty and choose a good one for you."Despite her words, Nash felt a slight annoyance. Was she trying to escape from him?"I wonder when Mr. York will have time?" Nina reiterated, "We agreed to get divorced when the three-year term expired. Mr. York would not go back on his word, would he?"Nash pursed his lips, remaining silent. Nina looked up at him again and said, "I hope Mr. York keeps his promise, for both your sake and mine...""Quincy, leave!" Suddenly, Nash's voice was sharp.This command startled Nina. Watching Quincy leave, she felt a sense of suffocation in the now-empty space with only her and Nash. Looking into his eyes, she sensed something was wrong.She could not figure out what she said wrong. Was not divorce better for them? He got the shares, she gained freedom, each getting what they wanted. What made him unhappy?

    But instead of feeling touched, Vera’s first reaction was nausea. A wave of discomfort surged up from her stomach, and Vera’s face paled. She bolted for the bathroom. Caleb followed quickly. “Are you feeling sick?” “I don’t think so. I’ve been eating normally—nothing too heavy or weird lately.” Vera clutched her stomach, just as confused as he was. Then, a possibility flashed through her mind. Caleb clearly had the same thought. Without a word, he turned and walked into their bedroom, returning moments later with a pregnancy test. Vera looked at him, stunned. “When did you buy that?” He responded matter-of-factly, “Better safe than sorry.” Vera was momentarily speechless. Five minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. It was positive. They had only been married for three months. How did this happen so fast?Caleb, on the other hand, remained composed—at le

    Of course, Vera wasn’t about to dump all her responsibilities on her assistant. That would be exploitation. She called her assistant into her office. “You’re twenty-five this year, right?” Her assistant blinked, confused. Wasn’t her age common knowledge? Why was Vera suddenly bringing it up? A thought struck her. Was this an arranged marriage situation? Her face immediately filled with silent refusal. “Miss Vera, I’m still young. I’m not thinking about marriage anytime soon.” Vera tapped her pen against the desk. “I’m not telling you to get married.” “Oh.” “I just want to offload some of the smaller daily tasks to you. You don’t have to run every minor document by me.”Her assistant instantly understood. A raise. After confirming she was on board, Vera gave her a salary bump and had her hire a few more assistants to distribute the workload. “If I don’t have time to handle everything, you guys will take care of it. If something’s too complicated, jus

    Vera could sense danger the moment the conversation turned in this direction. Her father had never questioned her about married life, and she was lucky enough to avoid nosy relatives. But just because she hadn’t experienced it firsthand didn’t mean she hadn’t seen it happen to others. Without hesitation, she abandoned the half-folded pastry in her hands. “I... uh, need to use the restroom.” Before she could escape, Mrs. Smith caught her wrist. “You and Caleb aren’t getting any younger,” she said matter-of-factly. “You should start thinking about kids—make sure you’re putting in the effort, hmm?” Vera left the kitchen visibly drained. Mrs. Smith was a wonderful mother-in-law, the kind who treated Vera like her own daughter. Despite knowing Vera came from a well-off family, she had still gifted them a house as a wedding present. Of course, Caleb already owned a place, but his mother had insisted. “That’s your house. This is the home I’m giving you as a weddi

    That undeniable possessiveness flickered in Caleb’s gaze—subtle yet impossible to ignore. It was the kind of look a powerful man might give his beloved in an old Hollywood film. And right now, the photographer felt like the unlucky bystander who had accidentally stumbled upon an intimate scene. His voice wavered slightly, caught up in his own imagination. “Mr. Smith, lift your eyes toward the camera.” Caleb’s sharp gaze flickered over, intense and commanding. The photographer instinctively pressed the shutter. They continued with several more poses, reviewing the shots as they went. Vera loved them all, but her favorite was still the vintage-inspired one. “How long until we get the final prints?” she asked. “Two to three days at most,” the photographer replied. “I’ll have them shipped directly to you.” Then, after a slight pause, he hesitated before making a request. “I actually have a personal favor to ask—would you both be open to letting us displa

    Vera was tempted. They had already taken plenty of wedding photos—several sets at the island, more at the wedding itself. But this wasn’t just any photo studio. It was privately booked and known for being one of the most prestigious studios in the city. Appointments here were nearly impossible to get. The fact that Caleb had managed to secure a session meant he had gone to great lengths to make it happen. If they were just going to take ordinary wedding pictures, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Still, she wasn’t sure what kind of shoot she wanted. The photographer, understanding her hesitation, pulled out a sample album. “You can take a look at our past work. These are some of the styles we’ve done.” Flipping through the pages, Vera saw an array of stunning concepts—each picture more breathtaking than the last. Then, one particular set caught her eye. A Golden Age Hollywood theme.It was classic, nostalgic, and beautifully atmospheric. “Ca

    After the wedding, Vera considered taking some time off for a honeymoon. But the thought quickly faded when she realized Caleb had been practically living at the hospital. With a sigh, she dismissed the idea. She was used to it, but to say she wasn’t disappointed would be a lie. Her assistant picked up on it. “Mrs. Smith, don’t you want to go on a honeymoon?” she asked one day. “One of my friends just got married, and she’s been obsessively researching destinations. “She even said a marriage without a honeymoon is already half a failure.” Vera froze mid-page, suddenly losing interest in the documents she had been reviewing. Her assistant hesitated, then offered a suggestion. “Why don’t you go visit Dr. Smith at work?“You seem… distracted. Maybe seeing him will help.” Vera snapped out of her daze, suddenly aware of how preoccupied she had been lately. It was embarrassing to admit, but she had been zoning out far too often—especially after coming hom

    Whenever they did this in the past, Caleb always maintained some restraint. But tonight—he didn’t hold back at all. He took her from the bedroom to the bathroom, then back to the bed, his searing kisses trailing every inch of her skin. The next morning, even as she woke up, Vera could still feel the lingering traces of last night’s intoxicating pleasure. As expected, she ended up taking the day off. It wasn’t until two days later that she finally returned to work. *Everyone at the company had already prepared for this. The moment Vera walked into the office, she was greeted with knowing smiles and teasing remarks. “Congratulations, Mrs. Smith!” “Newlywed bliss, huh?” “Three whole days off? Someone had a good time.” It didn’t take a genius to figure out what she had been up to. Obviously, her married life was going exceptionally well—so well that she had completely abandoned work for it. Under the weight of their mischievous stares, Vera barely k

    Yelena still hadn’t accepted Hunter, but he wasn’t giving up either and was relentlessly closing in on her. Knowing Yelena’s soft heart, Vera figured it was only a matter of time before she gave in. She let out a sigh. Her friend’s love life wasn’t something she could interfere with. Besides, Caleb had already given her a little inside scoop. “She came to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago,” he had mentioned casually. “Hunter was the one who brought her.” Vera had clicked her tongue at the news. Yelena always seemed quiet and reserved, but apparently, she was full of surprises.*Time flew by in the blink of an eye.By mid-month, Caleb had rented out an entire vineyard and spent several days transforming it into the perfect wedding venue.When the day arrived, the celebration took place right there.The vineyard was sprawling and elegant, every bit as grand as any luxury hotel—if not better. Even the wine cellar remained untouched, stocked with years-

    “Did you plan this from the start?” Vera narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had just walked into a carefully laid trap. “Mm.” Caleb smiled, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Because yes—he had always been planning this. The biggest change in Vera’s life after the island proposal was the ring now sitting on her finger. It wasn’t just any ring. It was custom-made, something Caleb had specially ordered. She only found out by accident when she glanced at his phone one day and saw the purchase record. It had been ordered two months ago. Vera did the math and was stunned. He had been preparing for this long before she even started getting impatient. Her heart swelled with emotion. And as soon as Caleb’s parents heard that their son had finally proposed, they wasted no time pushing them to get the marriage license. *One day, Vera overheard Caleb’s mother lecturing him. “Your dad and I weren’t expecting much from you.
