Chapter 229
She did not know what Nash was up to. But she did not want to sit around here and wait for doom either. A caged bird was not her style. She was not willing.
Nash looked at her, noticing her emotional turmoil and her heightened caution and wariness towards him Frowning, he said, “Nina, get this straight. You’re my wife in name. How can you call yourself a pet? Being with me is perfectly normal.”
They had been together like this before, and she had never been this agitated. What could have changed her? He could not figure it out either.
Nina gripped the bedsheet tighter and asked, “When are we going to the district court to get divorced?”
“Are you in a hurry?”
“Yes,” Nina said firmly. “When we set a date, we shouldn’t keep delaying it. Do you understand?”
Nash’s deep gaze locked onto her. Her words had no hint of warmth. She was not the same Nina as before. Now she just wanted to escape from him, which inevitably made him wonder, “Is it because of that guy called Zac?”
Nina hesitated for a moment. At this point, it did not matter anymore, so she admitted, “Yes, you know there’s someone in my heart, named Zac.”
Nash’s expression darkened, his tone becoming icy. “Nina, are you lying to me?”
Nina stiffened.
“This guy named Zac has never been around you. Have you been lying to me all along?”
Nina looked up. “You investigated me?”
“Shouldn’t I investigate when my wife falls for someone else?” Nash’s voice was cold.
Nina pursed her lips and fell silent.
In the past, if he had shown her a little more tenderness and love, she might have told him that the Zac she liked was him. But now she did not want to. She wanted to escape from him, to live a free life. She did not want to love anymore.
Besides, she was pregnant and did not want him to know she was carrying his child. With her abilities, she could raise the child on her own. Before her belly started to show, she had to divorce him and live her own life.
“Tell me, what’s the deal with this guy named Zac? You better tell me!” Nash found it strange. He had people investigate all the men Nina had been in contact with since childhood, and there was not a single man named Zac among them.
The only person she was very close to was Scott and he did not have a nickname. So where was this man?
Nina also cooled down and said calmly, “Why should I tell you? So you can go bother him? How can I let you harm him?”
“Nina!” Nash was not pleased, emphasizing her name.
Nina was also afraid of him raising his voice, fearing he might harm her. People change, especially men’s pride, not allowing their wives to have feelings for others.
“Nash, you don’t have to interrogate me like this. I won’t tell you who he is.”
Changing the subject, Nina felt it necessary to speak calmly. “But if you divorce me and set me free, I can tell you where he is.”
Nash clenched his fists tightly. She deliberately hid this from him for another man and brought up conditions. He was angry, grabbing Nina’s chin.
Nina thought he might resort to violence, her heart pounding in her throat, but Nash only forced her to look at him, his eyes cold and stern. “Learning to negotiate terms with me?”
He was burning with curiosity about this man, but he was also rational, knowing what was more important.
