Chapter 90
Nina remembered the day Miranda had stormed out in tears.
But now, Miranda could smile at her.
Being able to come to the company and leave with a smile, there must be something good happening.
Nina wasn’t feeling confident at the moment, and she didn’t want to embarrass herself by paying attention to Miranda.
Instead of getting angry, Miranda smiled.
Just as Nina was about to step into the elevator, Miranda spoke, “Nina, I know, soon you won’t be the same anymore. I’ll let you enjoy the limelight for a few days, it’s not a big deal anyway. In the end, Nash wi still reject you.”
As the elevator doors closed, Nina saw Miranda’s victorious smile, as if she already knew that
Nina would ultimately be a sacrificial lamb in the marriage.
Nina’s expression soured, her hands clenched into fists.
Subconsciously, she looked at her belly, thinking about the child inside. She still had to hold onto hope.
When she reached the office, everyone was busy working. Instead of returning to her workstation, she headed straight to Nash’s office.
Nash was in a conference call, but he paused when he saw Nina enter. “Is something wrong?”
he asked.
Nina got straight to the point. “Yes, something’s wrong.”
Nash closed his laptop and placed his hands on the desk. “What’s the matter?”
Nina sat opposite him, and Nash’s deep gaze met hers, sensing that she had something important to discuss.
Unsure of how to begin, Nin

Nash inquired.
Feeling embarrassed, Nina clasped her hands tightly and met Nash’s eyes. “Remember how you mentioned finding the woman from that night?” “And?” Nash hadn’t quite grasped her point.

Growing more anxious, Nina continued, “I understand your concern. That woman hasn’t shown up since. But, hypothetically speaking, if she were to become pregnant with your child…
Nina noticed Nash’s suspicious glance, so she added, “People don’t usually take precautions when they’re drunk. Did you take any? What if someone gets pregnant? What would you do then?” “You’re quite thoughtful,” Nash responded.
Feeling uneasy and unsure of his reaction, Nina tried to distance herself, saying, “We’re still married. If another woman were to get pregnant without any official status….”
“Abort it!” Nash cut in without hesitation.
“An unexpected child shouldn’t be brought into this world,” Nash reiterated coldly.
Nina’s expression stiffened, her lips drained of color, but she kept her gaze fixed on him.
His cold words revealed a side of him she had never witnessed before, devoid of any emotion
or empathy.
He would dismiss an unexpected pregnancy without a second thought.
To him, this child was an accident, something he had no intention of welcoming.
Considering he married her for ulterior motives, for shares, and intended to divorce her, how could he possibly entertain the idea of keeping it?
Nina’s palms grew sweaty, and she found herself unable to speak further.
Taking a deep breath, her hands trembled uncontrollably, her body growing cold.
Suppressing her inner fear, she clasped her hands together to steady them.
“I see,” Nina replied, lowering her head.
“Why would you even ask such a question?” Nash noticed her unusual behavior.
Nina remained silent, consumed by her anxiety.
She hadn’t uttered a word for a long time, and Nash reached out to hold her hand.
Instinctively, Nina recoiled, rejecting his touch, her expression a mix of confusion and distress.
