The man in front laughed when he heard this. "Loving your wife brings good fortune? What nonsense! I don't believe in such superstitions at all! Let me ask you, have you gotten rich? Hahaha.""The fact that she's not wasting money is already good enough. Expecting to get rich is ridiculous," the man behind said. "We should save money wherever we can. If she weren't pregnant, I wouldn't even be here!"The men in front and behind Nash seemed to share the same mindset."Believe what you want," Nash replied coldly. He did not agree with their views at all. How extravagant could his wife really be? They had not complained about these things when they got married. If they did not believe in marriage, why did they get married in the first place?Seeing Nash's cold expression and realizing he did not agree with them, the men refused to believe Nash was rich at all."Don't ignore what we're saying. Just by looking at you, I can tell you've only been married for a short while, still in
Before the man could reach Nash, James stepped in and twisted his arm, causing him to cry out in pain."Ouch, ouch, ouch!"James, a trained fighter, was always on high alert. Anyone making a move towards them would not get far. He quickly neutralized the threat, leaving no opportunity for the attacker to act."You okay, Captain?" James asked."I'm fine."Seeing James in his camouflage uniform and realizing his skill level, the men suddenly became very respectful towards Nash, realizing they had messed with the wrong person.They quickly came to their senses and apologized. "We're sorry, boss. We were out of line. We shouldn't have said those things!""You're right, loving your wife does bring good fortune!""Please don't hold it against us. We didn't know who we were dealing with!"Nash had not said much, but the men were already scared. They feared losing their jobs, which would be far worse than not getting rich.Nash, now in a better mood, did not bother to make things dif
"Ah..." Nina wanted to call out to the little girl, but before she could, a plump white dove flew towards them. Startled, Nina shrank back, fearing the dove might peck her. But then she noticed something in the dove's beak. It was holding a ring. Before she could fully process what was happening, the dove dropped the ring into Nash's hand.She stared in shock as Nash revealed a diamond ring in his palm. The sunlight made the diamond sparkle so brightly it almost hurt her eyes. Instinctively squinting, she watched as Nash slipped the ring onto her finger.Suddenly, applause erupted around them. Nina looked up to see people clapping, their faces filled with admiration and joy. Overwhelmed by the attention, she felt a surge of social anxiety. "What's happening?" she asked in a panic."It's so romantic! Someone's proposing here with all these roses and even a helicopter! It's beautiful!" someone in the crowd exclaimed."Which fairytale princess and prince story is this? If some
"I do!" he blurted out without hesitation. He wanted Nina to live more than anything, even if it meant sacrificing his own life."If that's the case, then why are you doing this? You proposed to her and gave her all those things. What about me?" Miranda was nearly hysterical, completely losing her composure. She could not bear it. Why did everything that should have been hers go to Nina? It was she who should have married Nash. It was she who should be enjoying this kind of proposal.Nash looked over at Nina, who was radiating happiness and wearing a genuine smile. This was what he had always hoped to see. He had seen her so many times before, always distant and indifferent, showing no joy or sorrow about their marriage. He had always wanted to see her feel happiness from their marriage. Now, finally, she was truly smiling because of him, and he felt a deep sense of fulfillment.Turning his gaze back, his expression grew serious, and he gripped his phone tightly. "I won't
At this moment, as Miranda tried to deceive Nash, she was also deceiving herself. She desperately wanted to be clean, to have a spotless reputation. She had given her heart and soul to Nash without having any ulterior motives. This was her attempt to redeem herself.However, from the moment Miranda poisoned Nina, her true nature was revealed to Nash. His expression grew serious. This was not just about the threat to Nina, but also about Miranda's hidden identity. His eyes turned cold. "You say you nearly sacrificed yourself for me? I used to never doubt your intentions, but now I see it clearly. You saved me to clear your own name, to distance yourself from your role as an accomplice!"Miranda's pupils contracted slightly, and she was speechless for a long time. He knew. Panic flashed across her face, unsure of what to say. This was something she could not admit! Who would want to be associated with them? She was trapped by her circumstances. She was born into such
"Who were you on the phone with? You've been talking for quite a while," Nina asked. Although she had been waiting patiently nearby, she could not help but notice Nash on the phone for so long. Her curiosity got the better of her.Nash slipped his phone into his pocket, reached out to take her hand, and pulled her into his arms. "Conference call, some urgent business came up. Sorry to keep you waiting."Nina shook her head and smiled at him. "Urgent matters are important. I don’t mind. I was just worried seeing you frowning, thinking you were upset."Nina was a keen observer, especially when it came to her husband. She was always concerned if something was troubling him."I'm not upset," Nash said with a smile. "Today is a great day for us. How could I be unhappy? Today is the happiest day of my life!" He kissed her on the cheek.Nina wrapped her arms around his neck. "There's something that will make you even happier."Nash held her waist, pressing his forehead to hers. "What
"You need to take better care of yourself," Eve said. "I told Grandpa that I'd stay with you for a few days, and I even brought my luggage!"At that moment, someone was loading Eve's luggage into their car."Great, we’ll have Nash cook for us," Nina replied."Really?" Eve's eyes lit up. "That’s awesome! He should definitely be the one cooking while you relax!"Returning to the villa felt like coming home for Nina, even though it had been a while. Eve, being a foodie, had already bought plenty of snacks before they even arrived. It was clear she intended to stay for a while and was more than happy to share her treats with Nina.As they watched TV together, the news reported a body found in the suburbs, with the internal organs removed.Eve's face turned pale. "There are so many bad people these days. Who would do something like that, to remove all the organs?"Nina recalled James's slip of the tongue earlier. He mentioned something about the suburbs. Could Nash have gone to t
Nina's face looked a bit pale, but she put the phone back down. She lay on her side, listening to the sound of water running in the bathroom, feeling uneasy. What had Nash been doing that afternoon? Was he investigating the scene of the female corpse, or meeting with Miranda?A sense of unease crept over Nina. She trusted Nash. They had been married for three years, and he had never treated her like he had recently. She felt his affection and care deeply. She could see the love in his eyes, a love meant only for her. He had promised to love her forever, and that she would always be his Mrs. York.Nash’s unusual behavior made her feel there were things she did not know and things he might be hiding. Lost in thought, she did not notice when Nash finished his shower. He walked out, drying his hair with a towel, and looked at her to see if she was asleep.Nina moved slightly and looked up at him.Nash lowered his eyes and walked over slowly. "You're still awake?""I'm waiting fo
