Chapter 686
Nash chuckled, pinching her nose. “If you really like kids that much, we can adopt in the future. I don’t want you to suffer anymore. This baby came as a surprise and has already caused you a lot of discomfort.” Nina reassured him, “It’s not tough. Let’s just go with the flow. As long as we’re happy, everything will be fine!”
Nash looked at her with loving eyes, a natural smile forming on his lips. “It’s late. Let’s get some sleep.”
“Okay,” Nina agreed, lying down and finding a comfortable position to sleep. After all the running around, she really needed a good rest.
Nash kissed her forehead, then her lips, each kiss filled with tenderness. But it still did not feel enough. He held her tightly, soothing her, and lulling her to sleep. Soon, Nina drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
Nash watched her sleeping, his face lit up with happiness. With her by his side, he felt ready to face any challenge that came their way.
The next morning, Nina woke up late. The sun was already high in the sky, and Nash was nowhere to be seen. If she weren’t in the villa, she would have thought she was dreaming, that their reunion yesterday was just an illusion. She hurried out of bed and walked out of the bedroom. The helpers were already preparing breakfast.
“Nash,” she called out.
At that moment, Nash was standing in the hallway, talking on the phone, his expression serious. Hearing Nina’s call, he ended the conversation, put the phone in his pocket, and walked over to her. “I’m here,” he said.
He was dressed simply in gray loungewear, which made him look less like a soldier or a CEO and more approachable.
Seeing him, Nina relaxed and softened her expression, walking towards him. “How long have you been up? It’s so late, and you didn’t wake me.”
Nash walked over, holding her shoulder and taking her hand. “You were so tired. I didn’t have the heart to wake you. Are you hungry? I had breakfast prepared for you. Let’s go eat.”
Nina couldn’t help but laugh at herself. “It’s so late, it’s almost time for lunch. Breakfast seems unnecessary.”
Nash raised an eyebrow, a slight smile on his lips. “My dear wife, you can sleep as long as you want. Who cares what time it is? I’ll always wait for you to wake up!”
“Won’t that delay your work?” Nina asked, knowing he had returned to the military and had a lot to handle. “You just got back from the mission. You must have a lot to deal with. You don’t need to wait for me. Focus on your work. I don’t want to be a burden to you.”
She was always considerate of him. Even if she woke up and couldn’t find him, she wouldn’t complain. She might feel a bit disappointed and worry about him leaving again, but she understood the demands of his job.
As long as she knew he wasn’t leaving her, she could handle everything else.
“I know how to balance things,” Nash reassured her as he helped her down the stairs. There were a lot of steps, so he added, “We have helpers here. With your belly getting bigger, if it’s hard to go up and down the stairs, just call for help. Promise me you won’t take any risks.”
For some reason, hearing his concerned words made Nina feel incredibly happy. She smiled and nodded. “I will. I’ll listen to you. The baby and I will be just fine.”
Nash still worried, knowing he had a family to protect now. Not just a wife, but a child too.
