CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

He made such demands of her, but did he ever demand the same of himself?

Nash furrowed his brows. "What about me?"

Nina looked at him, suddenly unsure whether she should ask. Perhaps she did not have the courage to face it in her heart. She clenched her fists and averted her gaze. "It's nothing."

Seeing her uneasy expression and sensing her hesitation to speak, Nash knew something was on her mind. Just as he was about to inquire, there was a knock at the door. "Sir, ma'am!" the helper called out.

Nash went to open the door. The helper handed him an invitation. "Sir, this is an invitation from the Gibson family."

"You can go," he instructed the helper.

Nash opened the invitation, which was for the seventieth birthday celebration sent by Grandpa George. Despite knowing Grandpa George for so long, he rarely attended his birthday celebrations.

They had an unspoken agreement not to disturb each other excessively. This time, sending the invitation meant that it was an important occasion for Grandpa George and he should attend. Besides, Grandpa George was frugal due to his military background and did not like extravagance. This was likely just a family dinner. Those people would also be there. He furrowed his brows slightly, feeling hesitant, but considering Grandpa George's old age, he should be more considerate.

Turning back, he found Nina already lying down. He spoke again, "Nina, accompany me to a birthday banquet tomorrow night."

"Whose?" Nina asked, lacking enthusiasm.

"Grandpa George's."

Nina sat up again, asking, "Grandpa George's birthday banquet?"

"His seventieth birthday."

Nina suddenly remembered she had dinner plans for the next day. "I have something else to do tomorrow," she said.

"Besides, you used to attend events alone," she added. Theirs was a secret marriage, and him bringing her to events was a way of confirming her status. He preferred to maintain his single status, so she should not attend such gatherings.

"What's the matter?" Nash was more concerned about her stating she had plans.

Nina did not hide anything. "I have plans to dine with someone."

"Scott?"

"He did me a favor, so I'm taking him out for a meal."

Nash's expression turned cold. "What was that about your conscience being clear?"

Nina looked at him. "Does having dinner with someone make me guilty? Inviting him to dinner to repay a favor is my decision, it's not as complicated as you think."

"You're not allowed to go!" Nash's anger flared up again.

Nina did not want to argue with him, but his attitude made her even more furious.

She said coldly, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'll go prepare your clothes, and you can take a shower."

With that, she got out of bed. Passing by Nash, he wanted to grab her. She seemed to be trying to escape from him, going against everything.

But he still did not act.

After showering, Nash came out of the bathroom, feeling calmer. Hezgot into bed and gently pulled Nina înto his arms, whispering in her ear, "Don't go to your appointment tomorrow. Come with me. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Nina, eyes closed, replied without hesitation, "Okay."

They did not have much time left together, and it was Grandpa George's banquet. His current attitude also discouraged her from engaging in any argument. As for Scott, he would have to wait for his turn.

Her answer satisfied Nash, and he laid back, embracing her.

The next day, when Nina arrived at work, she was called into the office and saw a designer gift bag on the sofa.

Nash gestured to her, a slight smile

playing on his lips. "Take a look and see if it's the style you like. If not, let Quincy exchange it, or I can take you myself."
