Chapter 238
"Why did you stop me just now?" Nash gritted his teeth.
With raging anger burning within, he could not contain himself. He grabbed Nina and pulled her close before she could react, his large hand immediately restraining her.
Nina's voice was hoarse as she replied, "The other party is, after all, the CEO of a company. As he said, there's a long road ahead for you two. Plus, there were many people around at the time. Your actions could lead to negative publicity..."
"So I'm just supposed to stand by while another man makes a move on my wife?" Nash 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, "Anyway, we're secretly married."
They were in a secret marriage, bound by a three-year 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 Nash's former wife?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Nash sneered, "I did not expect you to be so casual about it."
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 Nash's gaze. A faint scent of alcohol lingered on his breath, while his smile was cold and mocking. "What's going through your mind?"
Taking a deep breath, Nina replied, "What can I think? You've already made a move, so it's bound to hit the headlines. Serene is capable, so starting tomorrow, I'll..." She stopped short.
Before she could finish the last words, Nash's grip tightened. Nina felt the pain, silencing her words involuntarily.
Nash expressed extreme dissatisfaction, "Nina, do you think York Corporation is your own company? You can just leave whenever you want?"
Nina felt like there was a thorn stuck in her throat Serene's capabilities are evident, and there's also Quincy Taylor, and even other secretaries available. I feel like my is redundant. I don't want to be responsible for your work anymore."
She did not want to encounter people like Sean again.
"If you don't want to handle work matters, then stay at home for a few days. If you find it exhausting to be with my mom, you can stay at Riverview Estate, or you can buy a new property."
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 Nash's eyes.
Nina's 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
help but mock, "Now
the agreement period is o
You &
everything you
Nash's expression darkened, and the coldness reflected in his black eyes was as sharp as a blade.
He rebuked coldly, "Nina, divorce shouldn't be brought up by you. Now, you'd better obediently move to Riverside Estate!"
His phone rang again. Only then did Nash take it out.
Nina clearly saw the name "Miranda" flashing on his phone screen.
