Chapter 424

The two were at odds, each hesitant to speak further. Nash’s eyes were bloodshot and cold. Provoked by Nina, Nash’s emotions became unsettled, rendering him unable to maintain his composure and think rationally.
Yet, his words oddly brought about an unexpected calmness in Nina. She gripped her hands tightly, sensing a bitter taste spreading in her chest.
Divorce was what she wanted, but the way it was ending left her feeling empty. Perhaps she had not expected Nash to be so furious with her. Perhaps, with everything that had happened today, she was still unable to cope. Her emotions were in turmoil, unable to digest the friction between them.
Nash’s eyes were still fixed on her, seemingly waiting for her final answer. Nina remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, “Fine, let’s meet at the district court.”
Aware of the inevitable outcome and that her conscience had gone to the dogs, Nash still clung to some hope. He coldly smirked and said, “Fine!”
He turned and left. Before he departed, he glanced at the pile of pregnancy supplements on the ground, finding them offensive, and kicked them away before disappearing from Nina’s sight.
Watching Nash’s departing figure, Nina’s emotions surged violently. She felt even dizzier now, her head spinning. She felt like she was about to faint.
“Miss Walker!” The teacher from the orphanage saw her and hurried over to help. “Are you okay? Take a rest.”
Nina sat down, trying to calm her emotions. “Here, have some water.” The teacher poured her a glass.
“Thank you,” Nina replied, forcing a smile as she held the cup in her hands.
“Miss Walker, couples argue all the time. They’ll make up eventually,” the teacher, in her thirties, consoled her. “Don’t be too upset.”
In truth, she and Nash rarely quarreled before. Even if she was concerned, she would not voice it out, and Nash would ignore her feelings, not caring about her minor emotions. It was a reaction borne out of lack of love. She could understand that.
Why were they arguing now? Was it because Nash’s demands were increasing, or was it because of her unreasonable actions?
Today, she used Nash to control Michelle. That was her fault. It was also a way to make Nash disgusted with her.
She had said it before. To achieve her goals, she could resort to any means. She hoped Nash could understand that this time she used him, but it might not be so simple next time.
After drinking a few sips of water to ease her discomfort, she remembered that Leonard was injured by Nash.
She went to console him. Leonard was applying medicine, bruises forming on his face from the beating. His face now looked disheveled.
“Nina,” Leonard remained polite, not getting angry about being hit. Instead, he said, “You don’t need to come over. Take a rest. I can see that you were quite agitated just now, and it’s not good for your health.” “Thank you so much today. I feel really bad about making you help and getting injured,” Nina felt embarrassed.
“It’s alright. Don’t overthink it. Our cooperation today was mutually beneficial. As for Nash’s appearance, it’s just a minor incident. I didn’t expect him to get so angry,” Leonard chuckled.
He did not quite understand some things and asked, “It seems like Nash is very averse to the child in your belly and suspects that I’m the father of the child. Is that why you resigned from York Corporation?”
“It’s a long story, and it’s hard to explain in a short time,” Nina sat beside him, looking at the orphanage. “There are many things that are unclear, and I don’t know where to start.”
“If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t,” Leonard did not push. “I’ll be heading back soon. Do you want me to give you a ride?”
