Chapter 1021

The pastries were from the famous Carol’s Bakery. It was clear that Nash had put a lot of thought into it.
When Orion heard Zoe’s voice, he looked up at her. He did not say anything, but he took in her appearance. She was young and very pretty, especially with her gentle voice. “You… are…” Orion spoke slowly. Although there were many people around him these days, he still did not talk much, and when he did, he spoke slowly.
Zoe immediately realized that something was off. She could not imagine the hardships this child had been through for him to speak so hesitantly. He must have suffered a lot. Zoe extended her hand to him. “I’m your dad’s aunt, so you can call me Great Aunt Zoe.
“Would you like to go out with me?”
Orion did not answer. His large eyes blinked twice. Then, he shook his head, “I… need… to… wait… for… Mommy…”
The word “Mommy” was the only one Orion could say clearly. Seeing that he was not willing, Zoe did not push him further. Instead, she sat down to wait with him for Nash and Nina to return. Meanwhile, Nash and Nina arrived at the county clerk’s office, only to unexpectedly run into Eve.
Eve’s eyes widened in disbelief as she saw Nash and Nina together. “You… you’re…”
She pinched herself, feeling the pain. It was hard to believe that what she was seeing wasn’t a dream, but real life. Nash and Nina were truly standing in front of her.
“He’s not dead, and I’m no longer a war journalist,” Nina said with a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
“That’s wonderful news! What brings you both here?”
When news of Nash’s death spread, even Grandpa George and Eve felt deep regret, but there was not much they could do to help Nina. Eve had known Nina because of Nash, and after Nash was gone, they lost touch. Now, seeing Nash and Nina at the county clerk’s office was truly unbelievable.
“We’re here to get remarried. How about you?” Nash responded casually before Nina could stop him.
In the past, they had kept their marriage a secret, and Nash did not want her to be exposed. Now, he was casually telling everyone about it.
“Remarried? That’s great. I’m here to register my marriage,” Eve said, blushing as she lowered her head.
“Congratulations,” Nash and Nina said in unison.
“Thank you, and same to you,” Eve replied, congratulating them in return.
Nash and Nina went ahead to complete their paperwork, but Eve ran into a snag. She had not expected that the person she was supposed to marry wouldn’t show up!
Frustrated, she kept trying to call, but no one was picking up. Just as she was feeling her anger rise, Nash and Nina finished their registration and came back out.
Seeing Eve still alone, Nina could not help but ask, “Why are you still here by yourself?”
At that, Eve felt a sting in her eyes. What was supposed to be a joyful day had turned into a disappointment.
The person she was going to marry had stood her up, and now she had been caught in the embarrassing situation by Nash and Nina!
