CHAPTER 181
CEO
Even if she wouldnât accept, Sally would accept it. She couldnât go against her wishes. And she definitely wouldnât stoop to being the villain.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. Linda, in her room, asked, âWho is it?â
âItâs me, Miranda,â came the reply.
Linda hesitated for a moment but still went to open the door. Miranda stood there, holding a bowl of soup, smiling gently at her. âSince you didnât come down, I brought you some soup. Sally made it, and it smells delicious.â
âIâm not really hungry,â Linda said.
Miranda placed the soup on the table and turned to look at her. âDid you lose your appetite because you saw me coming?â
Linda hurriedly denied, âNo, donât think like that.â
âThatâs good then,â Miranda said, affectionately taking her hand. âYouâre young, so call me sister from now on. If you need anything, just let me know. As long as I can, Iâll help you.â
Her warmth made Linda feel a bit overwhelmed. âIâ¦â
âDonât be shy. Iâm an only child and always wanted a sister. You look so much like me, you could be my sister,â Miranda said, then added, âOh, by the way, I had my assistant pick out a few sets of childrenâs clothes. Take a look and see if you like them. If not, we can go choose together.â
With that, Miranda took out two sets of childrenâs clothes from her bag.
This made Linda feel closer to Miranda, and filled her with maternal warmth. âHow can I accept this? You bought clothes but Iâm only a little over a month pregnant. My belly isnât showing yet.â
She took the two sets of clothes. She hadnât thought about buying clothes for the baby yet, but they looked adorable.
Miranda said, âItâs good to be
prepared. This is Nashâs first child, his eldest son, so itâs important. When the child is born, youâll be the hero of the York family. Sally told me your family is going through a tough time. After you give birth, sheâll give you a house and a car. She really cares about you.â
Linda felt hopeful. If the chance of becoming Nashâs wife was slim, having money was still a good option.
âReally?â she asked.
âOf course, I wouldnât lie to you.â
Changing the subject, Miranda continued, âBut Nash and Nina havenât divorced yet, and youâre living with the York family. What if Nina comes back?â
Linda replied confidently, âShe wonât come back.â
âHow do you know?â Miranda asked.
âI heard it. Sheâs divorcing Nash and came back once to get clothes for him.â Linda still felt very confident about this.
âDid you know theyâve been discussing divorce for months now, but nothing has happened?â Miranda remarked.
This caught Lindaâs attention. âTheyâve been talking about it for months? So theyâre not going to get divorced?â
Even though Nina publicly announced their divorce in front of so many people.
âI thought you knew. Apparently not. Nina talks a big game but doesnât follow through. Being Mrs. York is better than being a secretary. If youâ were in her position, could you handle getting a divorce? How could she give up such a good situation? You underestimate her,â Miranda explained.
Seeing Linda absorb her words, Miranda gently stroked her hair and continued, âYouâre too naive. Nina is a schemer. Do you think she married Nash out of love? It was her plan, е

Getting a divorce wonât be easy. If she discovers youâre carrying Nashâs child, who knows if that child will even survive in your womb.â
