“Other than here, Nina has nowhere else to go,” Nash’s voice carried a firmness, even a hint of coldness.
She sat up abruptly, only to realize that it was already dawn.
Yvonne’s mocking voice chimed in again, “Nash, don’t you think what you just said is ridiculous?”
This was not a dream. Nash had indeed arrived.
She got out of bed and walked out of the room, only to find Nash and Yvonne standing face to face in the living room. Nash was wearing a smoke–gray shirt today. Yvonne, being only five foot four, stood half a head shorter than Nash.
“Nash, if you’re here to fulfill what I want, then I’ll go with you,” Nina pursed her lips and spoke, stepping towards Nash one step at a time.
Both Nash and Yvonne looked at her simultaneously.
Nash noticed her pajamas, and the cartoon pattern made him frown. Nina had never worn this type of clothing before. Additionally, her long hair cascaded naturally down both sides of her shoulders, and with no makeup on her face, she emanated a lazy vibe. Yet, her clear eyes revealed a touch of coldness.
Nash walked towards her. “Go change your clothes. I brought breakfast for you. After you and Yvonne finish eating, come home with me.”
His tone was particularly gentle, but Nina knew Nash was coercing her.
“Okay,” she agreed. With Yvonne present, she did not want to be laughed at, and Yvonne knew her well enough to know that once she made up her mind, she could not be stopped,
Nina did not neglect her own sustenance. She drank some milk, ate half an egg, and had a few spoonfuls of chicken soup. As she approached Nash, he suddenly “Has the venue for Yvonne’s art exhibition been confirmed?”
spoke up,
Yvonne had not expected Nash to ask her about this all of a sudden. Out of courtesy, she replied, “We’re still in talks with the exhibition organizers.”

Nash put his arm around Nina’s shoulder. “I haven’t heard anything from you. I’ll have Qui alk to the person in charge later. I know them from before.”
“I forgot,” Nina’s breath hitched. She had not expected Nash to subtly threaten her with Yvonne’s affairs here. Yet, on the surface, she had no choice but to go
along with his words until she waved goodbye to Yvonne.
Nina went downstairs with Nash, getting into the car one after the other. Before Nina could speak, Nash reached for her hand, gently rubbing his fingertips on the back of her hand. “Let’s go Riverview Estate now. If you’re not satisfied with the arrangements there, just let me know, and I’ll have Quincy find someone to make
changes.
“And, you can do whatever you like, no need to hide anymore,” Nash added. His tone was genuinely gentle this time.
Tears welled up in Nina’s eyes. If it were not for Miranda’s words, if she had not overheard her aunt’s question, if he had not confessed himself and if she had not shared these three years of life with him, she would have drowned in his
tenderness.
Suppressing the pain in her heart, Nina said, “I understood the implications of your words. Nash, you now won’t terminate the agreement as agreed. What exactly are you planning? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with me.”
As those words left her lips, a mocking smile played at the corners of Nina’s
mouth.
Nash’s refusal to terminate the agreement could stem from a thousand reasons, but it certainly was not because he loved her and did not want to let her go.
“Nina, you’re such a good girl. We don’t need to go that far for now.” Nash held her hand firmly, his voice hoarse. “I noticed you did not eat much just now. Is your appetite still not good? If your stomach is still uncomfortable, I’ll take you to see a doctor.”
