âWhy did you stop me just now?â Nash gritted his teeth.
With raging anger burning within, he connot contain himself. He grabbed Nina. and pulled her close before she could re is large hand immediately restraining her.
Ninaâs voice was hoarse as she replied, âThe other party is, after all, the CEO of al company. As he said, thereâs a long road ahead for you two. Plus, there were many people around at the time. Your actions could lead to negative publicityâ¦â
âSo Iâm just supposed to stand by while another man makes a move on my wife? âNash cut her off with a cold smirk before Nina could finish her sentence. His
smile did not reach his eyes, which were now filled with a chilling hostility.
Ignoring him, Nina said, âAnyway, weâre secretly married.â
They were in a secret marriage, bound by a threeâyear agreement to keep it concealed. Since Nash would not deliberately seek media attention, and if she did. not disclose it, who would know she was Nashâs former wife?
Nash sneered, âI did not expect you to be so casual about it.â
Nina continued to avoid looking at him, knowing it would only bring heartache. The sight of his beloved features, his thin lips, would pierce her heart so deeply
she felt breathless.
Loving him for seven years, she once believed she could fill his heart with
warmth, but now she realized they would still part ways. The thought that their child in her womb might grow up without knowing their father added to her
sorrow.
Just thinking about the possible future made Nina feel a pang of sadness.
All of a sudden, she felt a sharp pain and pressure on her chin. With her chin lifted up, she was compelled to meet Nashâs gaze. A faint scent of alcohol lingered on his breath, while his smile was cold and mocking. âWhatâs going through your mind?â
Taking a deep breath, Nina replied, âWhat can I think? Youâve already made a move, so itâs bound to hit the headlines. Serene is capable, so starting tomorrow, Iâllâ¦â
She stopped short.
Before she could finish the last words, Nashâs grip tightened. Nina felt the pain, silencing her words involuntarily.
Nash expressed extreme dissatisfaction, âNina, do you think York Corporation is your own company? You can just leave whenever you want?â
Nina felt like there was a thorn stuck in her throat. âSereneâs capabilities are evident, and thereâs also Quincy, Taylor, and even other secretaries available. I feel like my presence is redundant. I donât want to be responsible for your work.
anymore.â
She did not want to encounter people like Sean again.
âIf you donât want to handle work matters, then stay at home for a few days. If find it exhausting to be with my mom, you can stay at Riverview Estate, or
you can buy a new property.â
you
His low, hoarse words slowly reached her ears, and the moment the last syllable fell, Nash released his grip on her.
In that moment, she saw a gentleness in Nashâs eyes.
Ninaâs feelings were complex.
Nash had always known that she and her mom did not get along, but he had not intervened before. Now, he was bringing it up.
There was not even a hint of agreeing to divorce in his words.
Nina could not understand and could not help but mock, âNow that the agreement period is over, havenât you gotten everything you wanted?â
Nashâs expression darkened, and the coldness reflected in his black eyes was as sharp as a blade.
He rebuked coldly, âNina, divorce shouldnât be brought up by you. Now, youâd
better obediently move to Riverside Estate!â
His phone rang again. Only then did Nash take it out.
Nina clearly saw the namerandaâ flashing on his phone screen.
