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
Even if the child was born, he would not care. Rather than staying with such a father, it was better if she raised the child alone. The villa was quiet and cold. Nina sat for hours, reflecting on many things. She thought about her youth, how she started working at the same company as Nash, eventually becoming his wife. Despite never getting his attention, she remained patient. When she finally decided to let go and let him pursue his true love, he kept entangling with her. It felt like fate was playing a cruel joke on her, ending in tragedy without giving her a perfect ending. This time, was it really over? She still held onto hope that Nash would not divorce her. She waited, and finally, late at night, Nash returned. He came in a hurry, as if just stopping by briefly. As soon as he arrived, he sat across from her, accompanied by a lawyer.Nina looked at him. He was as cold as ever, reminiscent of their early marriage days. Nash did not look at her. The lawyer took a d
"Shut up!" Nina snapped, her voice trembling with anger. "How can you say something like that? I can't believe I misjudged you so badly!"Nash did not flinch, taking her slap head-on. His cheek reddened, but his lips curled into a cruel, cold smile as he turned back to face her. His eyes were icy, devoid of any warmth. "If this makes you give up on me, then it's a good thing. I'm not the right man for you."Nina trembled and she was heartbroken and devastated. She had never met anyone as cruel as Nash."If your goal was to make me sign, congratulations. You've succeeded. I want this divorce as much as you do!" Nina grabbed the pen and signed her name on the divorce papers. She then flung them at him. "Get out. Get out of my house right now!"Nash's expression remained unchanged, unaffected by her rage. The lawyer quickly gathered the signed papers."It's done, Mr. York," the lawyer said, addressing him.Nash nodded, got up, and walked out without another glance at Nina.As t
She began to imagine how grand her wedding with Nash would be. She envisioned herself as the happiest bride in the world. Just then, Miranda heard footsteps and assumed it was the helper. "You don't need to take care of things here. You can go," she called out.However, the footsteps did not stop. She frowned, growing impatient. "I said you don't need to..."As she looked up and saw who it was, her eyes widened in shock. She quickly removed the face mask and stood up straight. "Dad.""Miranda," the man said, his eyes smiling as he looked at her. "It's been a long time. You've grown into a fine young woman."Miranda stood up and ran to hug him. "Dad, you're finally out. I've missed you so much!"The man was in his fifties and slightly taller than Miranda. He was still looking strong and fit. Patting Miranda’s head affectionately, he said, "You've been through a lot these past few years." "It's nothing compared to what you've endured, Dad. Besides, I'm a star now. With the fam
For her, there was only one way out.---Nina had no idea how she survived the night. It was excruciatingly long and torturous. She lay on the sofa, wide awake the entire time. When she finally became fully alert, it was already the break of dawn.She was exhausted and feeling completely drained.Dragging her weary body to the bathroom, Nina washed her face and looked up, only to be startled by her reflection. She thought she was seeing a ghost. Her eyes were bloodshot, her face haggard and colorless, resembling someone gravely ill.She touched her face in disbelief, questioning how she had come to look like this. Was a broken heart enough to completely bring her down? Could she not live without Nash?The answer was no.Hadn't she already contemplated severing ties and divorcing him long ago? It just so happened that he initiated it this time. She had to move on and live a better life, a hundred times better than before.Nina made up her mind. One night of sadness
Her life was fortunate in many ways. She had a harmonious family and many people who cared about her. Her misfortune lay in her love life. Perhaps her life was too stable, and there had to be some turbulence, which manifested in her romantic failures.Her words made Wilfred laugh. He sat by her side, watching over her, his brown eyes exceptionally gentle. "You didn't exactly risk your life for me, but you did give me life," he said. He decided not to hide and face the truth with her. "You'll understand when you remember."He had saved her multiple times, and she believed he would not harm her, despite his complex identity. Now, the only person who stayed by her side was Wilfred."Do you have friends?" she asked."No.""None of you have friends?""I don't need friends," he replied."What about your parents?""I don't know who they are.""You must feel so lonely, without friends or family. Life must be dull," she said, suddenly feeling pity for him.Fate had not been enti
