Nina's breath caught for a moment. She decided to keep it to herself. "I'm not pregnant, just had too much of the same, wanted to change things up a bit."Her mother cautioned her, "It's best if you're not pregnant. After all, you've made a decision. Being pregnant at this juncture could complicate things."There was more that her mother wanted to say, but Nina's father gave her a meaningful look, urging her, "Nina, eat a little more. When it comes to having a child, you young folks should figure it out on your own.""Okay," Nina nodded. Now that she was pregnant, her appetite had changed, and she felt tired easily. After eating, she soon felt drowsy and was about to go back to her room when Quincy called."Nina, Mr. York got drunk.""Where is he?" Nina could not ignore it."I'm with Serene, sending him to the Riverview Estate."Hearing Serene's name, Nina paused. Nash had gone to meet the person in charge of the Jasper Corporation but he only took Quincy."Okay, I'll be right

As soon as Serene left, Nash’s deep, dark eyes settled intensely on Nina. “Where did you get all these things?”Since it was in a transparent bag, only some packed food items were visible.Nina replied, “I went to my parents’ place.”“Did not run into Scott?” Nash asked somberly.At this moment, there was not a hint of drunkenness about him. It seemed that Serene's learning and execution abilities were truly strong.Nina calmly said, “He has his own matters, we're both not that idle.”With that, Nina carrying two large bags, walked towards the kitchen. Since she was going to stay at Riverside Estate for a while, she did not say much else.After she put away the items and came out, Nash nodded at her, “Come here.”Nina did not want to confront him, so she quickly walked over to him.Nash extended his hand, and the next second, she was pulled into his embrace. A strong smell of alcohol instantly enveloped the surroundings. The scent was extremely unpleasant to Nina.She frowned

Nina, fearing he might take further action, quickly agreed, "Okay."Nash seemed pleased with this, "You’ve been having stomach issues lately but how come you seem to have gained weight?"Nina froze. This was not the first time Nash had brought this up.She quickly diverted the topic, "Maybe it’s because I haven’t been resting well lately, my face looks a bit swollen. Also, hormonal imbalances can lead to weight gain..."Nash furrowed his brows, "Did not you hire Serene to reduce your workload? Why is there still so much pressure?""Maybe I’m just too much of a perfectionist." That was all Nina could say, and she did not even dare to look at him.Nash seemed displeased, "Why does it sound like you don't want to deal with these matters by my side and are deliberately finding excuses?""No." Nina was somewhat anxious, but she dared not show it too obviously.She clearly did not want Nash’s attention on her, yet the conversation had turned this way again. Nina felt a headache comin

He took a sip, bitter yet sweet. Only Nina could brew this cup of pure black coffee so skillfully.Nina hesitated for a moment, but was still quite moved, "How long will it be roughly until you finish this busy period?"Aside from their immediate families and closest friends, hardly anyone knew she was married to Nash. Beyond their marriage certificate, they did not even have a photo together, let alone gone on a honeymoon.If Nash decided to take her to Frangelia, she could consider it their honeymoon trip. That would be a way to live without regrets in this lifetime.Nash was silent for a few seconds, then slowly responded, "At most, a week later.""Okay." That was a wait she could manage.Since she did not have to go to the office tomorrow, she could look for a hospital to have a proper prenatal check-up. With Yvonne around, she could use Yvonne as a shield.Nina dared not drift off too much, "Then you go ahead, I’ll head back to my room."After Nash nodded, Nina left the st

Unexpectedly, just as they entered the foyer, they saw Nash's mother, Sally, sitting on the sofa with a dark expression.“You all stir up public opinion, and yet you seem quite carefree yourself.”At the Harris Corporation’s banquet, Nash had defended Nina, and the incident was still trending.Nash gave Nina a look. Nina understood but still greeted Sally, “Mom, breakfast is ready. If you haven’t eaten yet, I can have the helper prepare a portion for you.”In the villa, the helpers knew their duties well. Since Nina had not gone to the kitchen herself, the helper would prepare breakfast when it was time.However, Sally did not even look at Nina, “Nash, I’m talking to you!”Nash responded calmly, “The fact that Nina and I are married will come out sooner or later. Besides, everyone talks.”So many people, so many mouths. He did not see the need to bother.Sally’s chest heaved visibly. She suppressed her anger, “I heard your little aunt invited you to a masquerade?”Nash’s tone

Nash did not want to engage further, "Nina's already taken care of delivering the items for you. If you need anything else, just give us a call."The implication was clear which was not to come over unless absolutely necessary. Nash's dismissiveness was palpable. It seemed Sally would have to step up her efforts with Miranda!Sally did not want to argue with Nash there, "I am the lady of the York family, your father's wife."But Nash could not be bothered to continue the conversation, walking away without another word.—Nina carried the health supplements to the hospital to see Miranda. When Miranda heard the door open, she thought it was Nash.So, when she saw Nina, the joy that appeared on her face instantly froze. “Why is it you?”Nina calmly responded, “My mother-in-law wasn’t feeling well, so I came to deliver this as a favor.”Saying this, Nina walked to Miranda’s bedside and placed the health supplements on the nightstand. Nina left the room as soon as she put down the

The voice was so familiar that it made Nina tense up. She turned around, trying to conceal her emotions.To her surprise, it was her college classmate, Mike Denver. She remembered Mike well.Three months ago, he had joined York Corporation's technical department, and Nina had personally interviewed him. Beyond their shared college background, Mike not only aced the interview but also met all the qualifications impressively.Nina managed a small smile. "What a coincidence." Perhaps her desire to keep the baby made her feel guilty, as if she were a thief."I took the day off for a health check at the hospital and did not expect to run into you here. Hey, Nina, are you going to our class president's baby boy's first celebration next Friday?" Mike glanced at Nina as he spoke slowly.The class president was a down-to-earth and honest guy from a small town in the countryside. He was renowned around campus for his unwavering helpfulness and kindness to all, ever ready to lend a hand to

Then she phoned Yvonne. Yvonne's voice sounded sleepy, and Nina felt apologetic. "I'm sorry if I disturbed your rest. But I'm on my way to the mall now, near your place. I'll find a spot and wait for you there.""Okay," Yvonne didn't decline.Upon reaching the mall, Nina located a popular boba tea shop and ordered two drinks. When Yvonne arrived, she spotted Nina from a distance, seated at a small cream-colored round table, cradling a cup of milk tea."Why did you decide to call me out today, and to such a trendy spot? What's your motive?" Yvonne teased Nina with a sidelong glance. Despite her playful tone, she pulled out a chair and seated herself opposite Nina.Nina smiled, "No particular reason, just wanted you to join me for a stroll, and then... Nash told me that Quincy has already settled the matters with the exhibition center."Yvonne's mood had been fine, joking around with Nina, but the mention of Nash reminded her of the veiled threats in his words and Nina’s leniency to

“Everyone in this village is in on it. There's no way to escape during the day, and at night, they lock us inside the houses.“There's no chance to get out.” Even as the woman spoke, Vera’s eyes remained firm with determination. “You can’t think like that. As long as we escape, there’s hope.” The woman let out a bitter laugh. “You’re too naive. There was another woman who was sold here before. She tried to run.“She actually made it to town—only to be caught and dragged back.” Vera stood up, her fists clenched. “We can’t give up. If someone made it that far before, then there’s still a chance. We just have to be smarter.“For now, you should just play along.” Vera turned to her, her expression serious. “If you keep resisting, they’ll just keep beating you.“It’s better to make them lower their guard first.” The woman didn’t respond. Instead, she changed the subject. “Didn’t you ask me to teach you how to cook?“Let’s do that now. We can talk about escapi

Vera shuddered at the thought of the woman locked up, beaten like an animal. How many others were trapped in this village, suffering the same fate? It was unbearable to think about. By the time Vera had finished her water and eaten most of the pastry, Leonard returned—dragging a woman behind him. Her head was bowed, her frail body swallowed by a coarse, tattered dress. Her hair was a mess, and she didn’t even dare lift her eyes. Leonard shoved her forward. “Go on! The girl wants you to teach her how to cook.“Behave yourself, or you won’t be eating when you get home.” Vera’s heart twisted in pain at the sight of the woman trembling. She gripped the chair for support as she slowly stood up. Stepping forward, her lips trembled slightly as she gently took the woman’s hand. “I just got married into the family. I don’t know how to cook yet.“Would you be willing to teach me?” The woman didn’t say a word. A single tear slipped down her cheek, hitting

Leonard stared at Vera eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation. Vera said, “That’s right. Mrs. Watson is always saying how capable you are, a real manly man. I don’t know why, but for some reason, your wife just doesn’t appreciate you.“A man like you deserves better.” It was the first time someone had ever spoken highly of him, and Leonard slapped his thigh with excitement. “That ungrateful woman!“A man like me!” Leonard huffed, growing more indignant. “You won’t find another like me, no matter how hard you look.“If only more people had your kind of good sense.”Vera smiled without saying a word and casually glanced inside the house. “By the way, where’s your wife?” Leonard snorted, his expression instantly darkening. “That ungrateful wench is locked up out back. She never listens.” Vera’s expression hardened immediately. “Why even bring her up? Just ruins the mood.” Leonard quickly perked up and waved Vera inside. “You’re already here, but you haven

“That’s true.” Chloe scoffed, then pointed a finger at Vera before leaving. “Listen up. Everyone in this village is on the same page.“The neighbors? We all look out for each other. If you try to run, they’ll tell me right away.“We’ve been nothing but good to you, so don’t blame us if we have to lock you up like an animal.” Vera had only seen threats like this on TV. She never imagined she would experience this kind of madness in real life. For now, she had no choice but to play the obedient daughter-in-law. In a situation like this, the more she fought back, the worse things would get. “I won’t run.” She forced a smile, pretending to affectionately ruffle Alice’s hair. But her other hand, hidden behind her back, was clenched into a fist. “This little girl saved my life.“I need to stay and properly repay your family.” She kept smiling, warm and sincere. Chloe didn’t notice anything unusual. She simply huffed again before leaving. “I hope you’re

Chloe scoffed, “What’s the big deal? When I married your father, I just threw on a simple dress and walked into the house. I still have that dress, you know.”She muttered under her breath, “Marriage is about building a life together. What’s the point of all these fancy extras?”A wedding dress? A suit? That sounded expensive. Their family had barely saved a few thousand dollars over the years. How could they justify spending it all on a wedding? *Vera, taking advantage of the last bit of battery on her phone, quickly pulled up photos of wedding dresses and suits. She handed the phone to Alice. “Your brother would look really handsome in a suit.” Alice gasped in excitement. “Wow! These clothes are so pretty! Vera, you’re already beautiful—if you wear this, you’ll look just like a fairy!” Then she hesitated. “When we get the dress… can I try it on too?” “Of course.” This wasn’t a wedding Vera had agreed to in the first place. She had shown Alice the pictur

Alice looked at Vera and tried to reassure her. “It’s just a little meat. It won’t make you gain weight, I promise. Last Christmas, I ate a whole plate of pork, and look—I didn’t gain a pound!”Vera said nothing. In a place like this, meat was probably a rare luxury, something they only had on holidays or special occasions. Things like snack foods, takeout, or even basic convenience store items were probably unheard of here. How could anyone gain weight in a place like this? But Vera wasn’t refusing to eat because she was worried about that.Still, Alice meant well.Even though Vera resented her in this moment, she knew when to pick her battles.So she picked up her fork and ate the piece of chicken.Chloe finally looked pleased.“You haven’t had a baby yet, so why worry about your weight? Eat more—you’ll need the strength to have a big, healthy boy. After that, you can think about getting your figure back. Tonight, you’ll sleep in Peter’s room. You’re already his,

Vera's expression changed completely as she looked at the family. “What are you talking about? Why would I stay here? I have my own life.” “Vera, didn’t you say you couldn’t find your brother?” Alice’s voice grew anxious. “Then take my brother instead! He’ll protect both of us. This is a good thing for you! Don’t tell me you think my brother isn’t good enough?“His leg isn’t perfect, and he can’t do heavy labor, but he’s not useless. And I can help him with the farm work—we can do it together!” Her words were absurd. If Vera had known this was her real intention, she never would have accepted her help. “Enough, both of you, stop talking.”Gerald had lived long enough to understand that his son and Vera were worlds apart. He also knew that there was no way she would willingly stay. But plenty of women in the village hadn’t wanted to stay either. That didn’t matter. As long as she was here, that was enough. He got straight to the point. “Our village

The young girl suddenly looked torn. In their village, getting a wife was extremely difficult. Families with a little money could sometimes bring a wife in from outside, but for families like hers, who had nothing to offer, it was nearly impossible. To make things worse, her brother had a bad leg. As a child, he had been mocked by other kids. He could still walk, but not quickly—and he couldn’t do the heavy farm work required to support a family. Now that he was getting older and still living alone, she felt incredibly anxious. Today, by some stroke of luck, she had met a woman in the mountains who was as beautiful as a goddess. She was determined to make this woman her sister-in-law. But if she left now, what if the woman ran away or was taken away by someone else in the village? What would happen to her brother then? *“It’s already so late,” Vera said gently. “Even if everyone in the village knows each other, it’s still not safe for a young girl

Up ahead was a village. “Miss, it’s really late today, so I’ll take you home first. My parents and brother will take good care of you, and you can get a good night’s sleep at our place. Once you’ve rested, we’ll take you to town tomorrow.” The young girl tightened her grip on Vera’s hand. “My mom is a great cook! She’ll definitely make a big meal to welcome you.” It really was late. The sky was completely dark, and Vera’s phone battery was nearly dead. The girl was still so young. She had already gone out of her way to bring Vera back from the deep mountains. It wouldn’t be right to ask her to take her all the way to town tonight. Vera still had some cash in her pocket. After covering the cost of transportation, she decided she would leave the rest for the girl’s family. If it weren’t for the girl, who knew how long she would have been wandering in the mountains? “My house is just ahead. It’s not in great shape, so don’t mind it too much. Next year, whe
