"The online attacks are too intense. I want to check out of the hospital," Miranda's voice was hoarse, tears still glistening in her eyes.Miranda looked very distressed in this state, yet also pitifully helpless.Nash responded, "I'll have Quincy arrange it when the time comes. But considering your current condition, you should stay in the hospital for a few more days to recuperate properly. I'll have Quincy arrange for a few bodyguards, so you won't have to worry about those things."Though Nash said this, he was still intentionally keeping his distance from her in reality. Even since the incident, Nash had not mentioned Nina.In Nash's mind, he was still very protective of Nina."I'm not worried about the arrangements you make. But Nash, you don't understand. Some people online are truly terrifying. I just can't bear it, that's why I...," Miranda trailed off, her voice choked with tears.But she still managed to ask the crucial question, "Nash, will you have time to visit me s
The man maintained his smile and replied with his gentle voice. "You mentioned it, and I just happened to be passing by with something for you."Yvonne's expression turned sour as she scoffed, "So your idea of 'passing by with something' is buying flowers?""Exactly," the man admitted without hesitation.Yvonne's tone grew cold. "I'm not interested. If you bother me again, I'll have to call the police!"Beside her, Nina was surprised. She did not expect Yvonne to be so dismissive of the man. And he did not seem lacking in looks or charm.He was not offended. "Well, I've already bought these flowers. Flowers complement beauty. Since I've come all this way, you might as well accept them first.""There's a trash can to your left. Thanks." Yvonne did not even glance at the man.The next moment, she rolled up the car window. The man stood for a few seconds, holding the flowers, then left. Nina caught sight of his departing figure, feeling a bit despondent."Let's head home first," Y
Nina nodded. "Makes sense."Yvonne said, "Then let's first see if your boss can fulfill his promise as agreed. If not, we'll follow the steps I suggested. Anyway, once you get divorced, you're out, and who cares about the rest.""Okay."They would cross that bridge when they came to it.---Nash headed to the York Corporation."Nina, could you get me a cup of coffee?"After dealing with a stack of documents, Nash appeared somewhat fatigued. In a moment of absentmindedness, he instinctively called out, pinching his brows, only to realize the situation.Nina was not present at the York Corporation. She was currently with Yvonne.The office felt unusually quiet without Nina around. Yet, Nash found himself oddly expecting her presence.In a matter of seconds, however, he caught a whiff of rich coffee aroma, tinged with a hint of rose petals."Mr. York, this is your favorite coffee."A respectful voice sounded by his side as Serene approached, holding the coffee.Serene was a b
The smile faded from Nash's lips."Bang!"Serene fell heavily to the ground, looking somewhat disheveled and genuinely in pain. At that moment, tears welled up in her eyes.However, all Serene could do was apologize to Nash, "I'm sorry, Mr. York, I seem to have twisted my foot. I... I really should be more careful!""You really should!" Nash did not pay much attention to Serene. "With your little tricks, do you think you can really hook me?"Serene was speechless. Nash saw right through her. But of course, Serene could not admit it now. "Mr. York, you've misunderstood me. I just accidentally spilled the coffee when I fell. Look, it's because the heels of the shoes I bought are too low-quality."Serene's voice was somewhat hoarse, and her whole demeanor seemed embarrassed. Her shoes' heels had indeed come off.Nash did not even glance at them.His voice was cold. "It's good not to have such thoughts, but do you think this is acceptable?""I'm sorry, Mr. York. I know I'm your
From then on, Leo would always show up at her art exhibitions and even buy her paintings at high prices, among other things. Doing all this despite her disinterest, that was what you would call obsession!Nina was at a loss for words at the moment. Just then, her phone chimed with a notification. She and Yvonne both reached for their phones simultaneously. It was a message from their university class group chat, sent by Mike."Next Monday, our classmate, Peter Lark, is hosting a banquet at the Scarlet Leaf Bistro to celebrate his son's first celebration, and it's also our class reunion. Hope everyone can make it.""Kind of absurd, isn't it? Why doesn't Peter make the announcement himself? Why does Mike have to do it?" Yvonne quipped beside her.At that moment, many in the group chat began to question this as well. Mike replied, "Our class president is currently in the hospital and not in a convenient position. I organized this on his behalf. Everyone, if you have any concerns, let'
Nina chuckled, "There's no affection between Nash and me. Even if you get rid of Miranda, someone else will still appear."Yvonne's expression darkened. "Then I won't say anything."The nanny did not take long to cook, but Nina did not eat much and felt drowsy.The next day, Nina and Yvonne went to the art exhibition. Yvonne was already a somewhat famous artist, but even disguised, she was still recognized by someone.The crowd was overwhelming. Yvonne had no choice but to let go of Nina. "Nina, you go back first."With that, Yvonne quickly walked away. Without Yvonne, Nina felt bored alone there.Unexpectedly, at the exit, she saw Nash walking towards her.Their eyes met, and for a moment, it felt like time stood still but Nina quickly snapped out of it. She did not say anything and tried to walk around him, but Nash blocked her path."Nina, are you avoiding me?" he asked softly."No. I just realized I haven't been working lately, so I shouldn't stay by your side," Nina repli
Seeing Nina in this state, Nash could not help but furrow his brows. "Didn’t you go to the hospital for a check-up?""Yeah, they gave me some medicine and I'm taking it."A shiver ran down Nina's spine, her throat constricted. She avoided meeting Nash's piercing black eyes, afraid he might see through her.Nash's frown deepened. "It's been a day or two since you went. What did they prescribe? Let me ask Caleb. If it doesn't work, I'll have him bring you something else."The doctor prescribed calcium and folic acid tablets, which Nina had already swapped out. If she showed them to Caleb, being a doctor, he'd spot the switch right away!Nina had to change the subject. "It's only been a day or two, like you said. It's not that quick. And didn’t you give me a box of stomach medicine last time?"Nash recalled.Seeing Nash's silence, Nina swiftly placed the coffee on his desk. "This time I didn't add rose petals. See if you like it. Oh, I just remembered, I need to go to the room to t
Nina was stunned.Nash had never been this gentle with her before. If it weren't for the three years in the agreement and the presence of Miranda, she might have reignited the desire to stay by his side because of his actions and words.Nina nodded. "I know Caleb won't bite, but I really didn't find any major issues. Nash, why don't you trust me? Do I look sick to you?"Or do you think I look pregnant?"This time, Nina took the initiative.Although Nash had mentioned it before, she had always denied it. This time, she brought it up first, hoping Nash would dispel the idea.Nash did not respond.However, his gaze fell on her again because of Nina's words.He had noticed she had gained weight recently. But these days, he felt her complexion was not as good as before, and she seemed a bit thinner."I'll have the helper make you something delicious to replenish your energy later. I've made an appointment. You'll stay here for now," Nash said slowly, his voice husky.Nina nodded.
