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
"Forget it," Eve said with a smile. "Let's just enjoy ourselves today. Let's go shopping, and I'll get you a nice basket bag. It's practical and stylish!"Nina was already familiar with Eve so she did not hold back. "You're so generous.""Of course, I'm generous to you! If I treat you well, Nash won't give me the cold shoulder," Eve said. She was not fond of Nash's serious demeanor."I'll just change my clothes, and then we can head out." Nina wanted to go shopping, especially since her belly was getting bigger and she needed to buy things for the baby.The two of them headed out, accompanied by a driver and bodyguard. Nina had taken leave from the TV station, but she remained on call if Angel or the station needed anything. Penelope had been discharged from the hospital. The lead role in that production, originally played by Bella, was recast. They wanted Penelope to return to the role, but she declined. Now, they are searching for a new actress to take on the part.Nina and Ev
Nina turned her head. "Is that Nash?"Seeing Nina's look of disbelief, Eve understood that Nina could not accept what she was seeing, which was why she asked.Furious, Eve exclaimed, "That jerk! I thought Nash was different, but it turns out all men are the same!"While Eve ranted, Nina was not really listening. She kept her eyes on them. Miranda was holding Nash's arm, and it looked like they had reconciled. It felt as though everything had gone back to square one.Nina stood rooted to the spot, unable to move. As they approached, Miranda said, "Nash, thank you for buying me such an expensive bag." The joy of receiving a cherished gift from a beloved man was a delight for any woman, and Miranda was no exception."It's nothing, as long as you like it," Nash said softly."If I like something, you'll always get it for me, right?" Miranda asked."Yes.""You treat me so well. I knew I wasn't wrong about you. You're the best man for me. I'll wait for you, wait until you get a
Her gaze fixed on Nash as she asked, "Is it true?"Nash's deep eyes turned cold, locking onto Nina's almost broken expression, yet he remained silent.Nina pressed on, "Are you with Miranda? Tell me, is it true? I only believe you!"Nash remained silent again.Nina's eyes reddened, holding on to the last shred of hope. "If you tell me that it's all a lie, I won't hold it against you. Even if I saw you with her, even if I saw her holding your hand, I'll believe you have a reason. I'll believe you, but why won't you speak? Say something, give me a bit of hope."The more she spoke, the more heartbroken she became. It felt like his proposal, his love, was all just her fantasy. When the dream ended, she had to face the reality that he did not love her.She had truly felt happiness. The man she had secretly loved for years finally chose her, and her efforts over the years had not been in vain. She really believed that. But why had everything changed today?Tears streamed down Nina's
Upon hearing this, Miranda was taken aback. Did Nash not know Nina was pregnant? Or was there another reason?Nash's expression remained unchanged, his deep eyes cold and detached, as if Nina’s affairs no longer mattered to him. Nina had hoped that revealing her pregnancy might change his heart. She was wrong. When a man decided to be heartless, a child meant nothing. Perhaps she should not have told him at all. Her last hope was gone, and her heart was nearly dead."Nash, let's go," Miranda said, leaning against him, breaking the tense silence between them. "Nina, you should have gotten rid of it earlier. You wouldn't be in this situation now."Nash's gaze returned, slightly unsettled, but he responded coldly and mercilessly, "Let's go. Ignore her. She'll say anything to keep her status as Mrs. York."The two walked past Nina without looking back. As they passed, Miranda bumped Nina's shoulder with a smirk. Nina stumbled back a step, and Eve caught her, looking at their re
