Chapter 52
Nina also blamed herself, wondering why she couldn’t endure a little longer. If she hadn’t been so impulsive, Zoe wouldn’t have found out.
“I’m sorry.” In truth, Nina didn’t want to cause trouble for Nash, but words couldn’t be taken back once spoken.
Nash’s deep gaze simply watched her,
contemplating many things before speaking, “Do you really want to divorce me?”
Nina pondered. Did she truly want to divorce Nash?
In reality, she wanted a fresh start for herself. The current situation seemed hopeless, devoid of any prospects, and she didn’t want to dwell on it any longer.
Seeing her silence, Nash asked again, “Would being. with me cause you a lot of trouble?”
Hearing this, Nina couldn’t hold back her emotions, her eyes growing hot as if tears were about to fall. If he had been angry and blaming her, perhaps she wouldn’t have felt this way. But his gentle words instead made her emotions spiral out of control.
Rather than saying it was troubling, it was more accurate to say that she didn’t want to see him and Miranda acting all lovey-dovey anymore. But those things didn’t matter anymore.
“Maybe a little,” Nina replied, lowering her head to conceal her emotions from him.
Nash pondered. They had been married for three years, all because of that marriage contract. The person she liked was a man named Zac. For him, she had not voiced any demands in those three years, keeping herself pure for that man.
Thinking about this, Nash clenched his fist, a heavy stone pressing on his heart, making him uncomfortable. He should let her go.
Nash released her hand, saying calmly, “Let’s divorce after the three-year contract is up.”
Nina nearly choked up, her nails digging into her flesh as she suppressed her bitterness. She blinked back tears, refusing to lose her composure at this moment, and lifted her head to smile at him. “Okay. Nash gazed at her delicate face, realizing that at this moment, her smile was truly sincere. It seemed their marriage had indeed caused her a lot of trouble. These three years hadn’t left Nina with even a shred of attachment to him.
Glancing at the time, Nina saw that it was just about time. She composed herself and said lightly, Even though I can’t be your wife, I’ll still be your secretary! You go and accompany Miranda. There’s a social event in the afternoon; I’ll handle it. I’ll head out first.”
“Okay.”
“Mm.”
Nina smiled and nodded at him before turning away. As soon as her smile faded, tears began to trickle down her cheeks.
Nash watched her retreating figure, her brisk pace indicating her strong desire to escape his presence, not wanting to linger even for a moment.
Hilton Hotel.
Several executives were sitting there drinking. Nina was also seated, with only Taylor beside her.
As usual, she would accompany Nash when he was present. Since Nash was at the hospital, her presence there didn’t matter.
She planned to get through this event. At the dinner table, they only exchanged pleasantries and made small talk.
Unexpectedly, the host, Mr. Lincoln, suddenly
called her and asked her to drink. The last allergic reaction to alcohol made her never want to touch it again.
She politely declined, “Mr. Lincoln, I don’t drink. I’m allergic to alcohol. Let’s just forget about it this time.”
Having consumed quite a bit of alcohol, Mr.
Lincoln, feeling the effects, came over with his belly protruding and poured a glass of wine into her cup, insisting, “Nina, we’ve known each other for a long time. Why are you so reserved? Mr. York isn’t here, but you represent him. How can you not drink?
Usually, Mr. York drinks with us. Hurry up and drink. Don’t give me so many excuses!”
“Mr. Lincoln, I…”
