Chapter 266
Julia scoffed dismissively, “If she comes again, I definitely won’t let her leave easily! People take advantage of kindness, and we haven’t done anything wrong, why should we be afraid of her!” Nina felt a warmth in her eyes. After all, her parents were doing this for her.
Nina said in a hoarse voice, “I don’t want you to argue with others. I’ll handle Sally.”
Sally had never liked her to begin with. Now that Nash was unwilling to divorce, perhaps Sally could be a point of leverage.
After making a meal for her parents, Nina left.
Unexpectedly, as she was about to hail a taxi at the entrance of the neighborhood, she saw a black luxury car parked across the street. The window rolled down, revealing Nash’s handsome face clearly in her
view.
His hand rested on the window, his long fingers holding a half-smoked cigarette.
Nina hesitated for a moment, then approached. Her action of opening the car door caught Nash’s attention.
When Nash turned to look at her, Nina had already sat down in the passenger seat. Even though Nash had rolled down the window, the smell of smoke was still strong in the car.
This was probably due to her pregnancy. She had never been so sensitive to smells before.
Nash spoke indifferently, “Are you grooming Serene to be like you?”
“No.”
Nina had not expected Nash to suddenly ask this, but she quickly denied it.
Even if she had not chosen Serene among the applicants, she would have chosen someone else, and that notebook would have been given to someone else. It could only be said that Serene was very adept at reading people. Being smooth and smart, she had earned Nash’s approval.
Nash sneered, “Do you know what Serene did after you left? She’s arranged everything so well that she even thinks she can take your place.
“Nina, if all this was not with your tacit approval and training, would Serene dare to go this far?”
Nash’s voice grew colder as he spoke. In that instant, he flicked away the cigarette in his hand. “Cigarette butts were scattered all over the ground outside the car. Nina did not walk in that direction, so naturally she could not see them.
Nina pursed her lips, “You’ve known me for all these years by your side. You should know what kind of person I am. If it was my arrangement, I would definitely admit it.”
If it was not her doing, she naturally would not take the blame.
“Nash, your mother came to see my mom. Now both our parents hope we will divorce. If you think I was the first to bring it up, how about you bring up the divorce in a month?” Nina clenched her palm as she threw out these words, looking straight ahead, not daring to let her gaze fall on Nash.
A trace of coldness crossed Nash’s lips, “Nina, do you think marriage is a child’s game?”
“No.” Nina quickly denied it.
Although theirs was a contract marriage, on the day she married Nash, she had been truly joyful. She had once fantasized that she could win him over with her sincerity.
But in the end…
It had all come to nothing.
Nash’s expression turned as dark as thunder, but just as he was about to say something, his phone rang.
It was Miranda on the line, her weak voice sounding in Nash’s ear, “Nash, why haven’t you come to see me yet? I feel like I might die soon…”
Nash frowned, “Aren’t you already receiving treatment?”
As Nash spoke, Miranda realized there was an issue and quickly asked, “Didn’t Assistant Quincy tell you about my call?”
Nash responded coolly, “Quincy did inform me. I know you were poisoned.”
