As he embraced her, Nina stiffened for a moment before setting down the pot she was cooking in and asked, "What's wrong? Dinner will be ready soon."But Nash held her tighter, burying his face in her hair. The familiar scent eased his uneasy emotions. "Nothing, I just feel more comfortable being with you," he murmured.Nina's gaze remained indifferent as she continued stirring the vegetables in the pot. "The kitchen is filled with smoke. It's not suitable for you."Nash insisted, "Anywhere with you is fine."In the past, Nina would have found this comforting, her heart filled with joy. But now, it was as if Nash's sweet words had no effect. Perhaps too many days of anticipation had made her heart numb.She did not push him away, nor did she reject him. She simply stayed quiet and kept him close.She knew they rarely had such opportunities, and they would not have many more. Once the food was ready, she pulled Nash's hand away and turned to him with a smile. "Let's go, it's ready.
At the sound of his voice, Nash instinctively furrowed his brows. Something about her tone felt like mockery, but as he looked at Nina across the table, he felt a distance between them. The dining table was not particularly large, but their separation felt vast to him. He spoke in a low voice, "Nina, come a little closer."Nina did not refuse him, moving her chair closer to his side and offering him some food. "It's been a while, why aren't you eating? Do you think my cooking isn't good enough?"Nash watched her scoop food into his bowl, paused for a moment, then looked up at Nina, picking up his utensils. "I've already told you before you started cooking, I'll eat whatever you make." In front of Nina, he took a bite of the food she had placed in his bowl, nodding in approval. "Mmm, not bad. You've got quite the talent for cooking!"He took a few more bites of the same dish. Seeing that he seemed to enjoy it, Nina's emotions fluctuated greatly, but she smiled and said, "Come on,
If she continued as Nash's secretary, she would definitely be suitable. But she was greedy and she wanted his love. Continuing this way, they would only grow more unhappy, and even the shadow of the best times would vanish."Nina..." Nash's emotions were intense, but the effects of the drug were quicker. He stared at her with intensity. "Are you leaving me... to find your Zac?"Nina did not speak but gathered courage. Under his piercing gaze, her hand reached up to touch his handsome face. She looked at him, seeking traces of Zac in him. But he was Nash, no longer the spirited youth. She remembered his passionate determination, rescuing her from the clutches of criminals despite being badly injured. She owed him her life once, but she had repaid it because she had also saved him.Nina remembered everything about him very clearly. Since middle school, her eyes had always followed him, attending the same high school and university. In Nash's life, she existed for seven years, but Na
Nina finished the last of the juice in her cup before giving his wine glass a final tap. It was their cheerful farewell. Earlier, they had a delightful meal together. Before leaving, she placed the divorce agreement on the table again. Next to it were two tickets to Frangelia. However, these tickets were not for her and Nash. They were for him and Miranda. She wanted to let him know that she was giving him his freedom. Frangelia, being such a romantic place, was more suitable for him to go with his beloved.Having done what she needed to do, Nina packed her bags and left the house. That night, no one stayed awake. Everything went smoothly.The next day..."Mr. York!""Mr. York, wake up!"Nash gradually regained consciousness, his head still heavy, as if weighed down by a huge stone. He rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on, but remembered Nina cooking for him yesterday. He stood up abruptly, his cold eyes scanning the surroundings, devoid of Nina's presence."Mr.
Upon hearing this, Nash paused, narrowing his dangerous gaze. "What secret?"The informant, sensing Nash's continued interest, truthfully replied, "Miss Nina has been to the hospital several times. The doctors and nurses remain tight-lipped about her visits, indicating Miss Nina's insistence on secrecy. However, we managed to track down surveillance footage of Miss Nina's visits, and it seems she went to the gynecology department."This answer shocked Nash, leaving him unable to digest it for a moment. He had encountered Wen at the hospital several times. She claimed it was for irregular menstruation, seeking medical advice. He had kindly offered to accompany her, but she had always refused. She had deliberately hidden it from him. Despite rarely delving into her private affairs, he had never dared to think further. He dared not think about it. Their marriage had always maintained a boundary. He had never touched her, even if he wanted to, if Nina did not agree, he would not
Even Sally could not help but notice that Nina did not return home with Nash. She understood that Nash did not want Nina to witness her unhappy expression or endure any grievances, so he had taken her somewhere else to stay for a while.However, seeing Nash return home alone for several days without Nina left her perplexed. He had not mentioned Nina either, which worried her.She had inquired and found out that Nina had not been to the company for many days. Had they had a falling out?She wanted to ask, but Nash might not disclose everything to her. Especially regarding the matters at Riverside Estate, she could not gather any information.Ultimately, she was Nash’s mother and the lady of this household. But they just did not listen to her, only to Nash. It left her feeling deeply aggrieved. Nevertheless, the crux of the matter lay in whether there was still a chance between Nash and Nina. She needed to find out.As Nash headed upstairs, Sally could not hold back. "Not seeing Nin
The person exchanged a few words with Nina, seeming quite familiar. Nash vaguely remembered him. He was probably someone from his company. After Nina left, he was rummaging through the trash can. Nash furrowed his brows at his behavior, but only he knew the exact truth!---Mike was rushing to finish his programming tasks. In a company as large as the York Corporation, the competition was fierce. Back in his previous job at a smaller company, he was a big shot. But here, there were over a dozen programmers with similar skills and ambitions. To climb up the ladder, he had to stand out. Leaving his former employer with high hopes, he could not afford to slack off, pushing himself hard to meet deadlines. He barely had time for meals, hastily nibbling on a piece of bread to stave off hunger.Just then, with a piece of bread in his hand, Mike felt a crowd gathering around him. He looked up and nearly jumped in surprise, almost dropping his bread. "Mr. York!"Nash's imposing figure sto
Mike wore a puzzled expression, thinking Nash was coming to confront him. But without explaining, Nash only asked about Nina's visit to the hospital.After questioning, he left.What did Nina's pregnancy have to do with him? Mike could not figure it out, but as long as it did not affect his job, he did not mind.Nash stepped into the elevator, hands in his pockets concealing his anger. He spoke in a cold tone, "Find out immediately where Nina is now!"She dared to betray him.Even if she fled to the ends of the earth, he would bring her back!Quincy had never seen Nash so furious, as if he could devour someone. When he began asking about Nina's whereabouts, Quincy could not help but shiver, knowing Nina would face consequences if found!He could only wish her well."Achoo!"Nina sneezed, tears welling up.She wiped her tears with a tissue and continued writing her document.Who could be thinking of her? Her parents? She had just called them a few days ago to assure them sh
