Chapter 164
Today, Zion finally grasped the truth from Sally’s words. He turned to Nina and asked, “Nina, did you marry Nash for the sake of two million?”
Nina’s expression grew solemn, and she bit her lip. “Dad…”
“Nash’s grandpa is kind-hearted, I’ll give him that, but we shouldn’t force a bad marriage.” Zion spoke calmly. “We’ll find a way to repay the two million debt.”
Julia remained silent. She had thought she had found a good son-in-law who could take care of Nina. But now…
At this point, it seemed divorce was bound to happen. What was there left to cling to?
After a moment of contemplation, Nina realized there was no need to push things further. She lowered her gaze and said, “I understand.”
Nash looked at Nina, uncertain of what she was about to say.
Nina continued, “Mom, Dad, since it’s come to this, there’s no use hiding anything. Nash and I had a three-year agreement in our marriage, two million in exchange for three years of my youth…”
As she spoke, Nina’s eyes inexplicably welled up, but she fought back her emotions. “When the three years are up, Nash and I will be even.”
After her words, everyone was left in stunned silence.
Julia was shocked by the revelation. “What? A three-year marriage?”
“Yes, just three years,” Nina replied, now mocking herself. “There’s no point in arguing, it always ends in divorce in the end, just a matter of time.”
Sally remained silent, her lips pursed. With a three-year agreement in place, she had little to say.
Nash’s expression turned icy, his fists clenched tightly as he listened to Nina’s words, feeling extremely frustrated. “Ahem…”
He couldn’t help but cough.
Concerned, Sally said, “Nash, how are you? Get back to bed, you just had surgery!”
Nash pressed his lips together and, as usual, pushed away Sally’s attempt to help him.
“Nash, thank you for saving my daughter today,” Zion said, understanding the situation and choosing not to dwell on it. As a father, he naturally had to protect his daughter, and he respected Nash’s efforts in doing so.
He also didn’t want things to get too ugly. “I’ve covered your medical expenses. I hope you two can end this amicably and not make her feel ashamed!”
Upon hearing this, Nina’s eyes welled up with tears. “Dad…”
Zion patted Nina’s hand, refraining from blaming her, acknowledging his own faults. “It’s okay, Dad knows everything now. It’s Dad’s fault. I won’t let you face everything alone in the future!” “Dad,” Nina hugged Zion, “It’s okay, I’m doing fine.”
Julia said indignantly, “Nina, if you get a divorce, you can come back home. Though we’re not a wealthy family, we can still afford to raise a daughter. We won’t sell our daughter!”
She thought she had found a good son-in-law. Nash was genuinely good to Nina, but it turned out like this. She had misjudged him.
Just then, Linda’s worried gaze fell upon Nash as she exclaimed, “Mr. York, Mr. York, you didn’t come to see me today. How did you get hurt?”
Before Linda could approach Nash, Sally pushed her away and demanded, “Who are you? Can just anyone come in here and lay hands on my son?”
Linda looked at Sally and said, “Mrs. York, I’m Linda. I… I’m carrying Mr. York’s child!”
“What?!”
“What?!”
