Nash was fortunate.
In the first half of his life, he was not sure what he was striving for. On the surface, he had achieved a few things, holding a respectable position, but his life felt incomplete and hollow.
He was merely getting by, with no clear direction. Even returning to the York family to fulfill his grandfather’s wishes was more of an obligation than a desire.
He knew his grandfather felt guilty towards him. Growing up in the York family, he never experienced parental love and was burdened with the family’s expectations.
His life was materially rich but emotionally barren. His grandfather, feeling sorry for him, wished for someone to love him properly. And then Nina appeared.
Hearing this, Nina felt a bit of bittersweetness. Maybe it was because she was pregnant, her thoughts were more sensitive, and she felt more vulnerable.
“Nash,” Nina looked down, feeling that her past imagination no longer mattered as much. “Will we be able to stay together happily? Without doubts, suspicions, and mistrust? We already have a child. We can’t be so impulsive, breaking up at the drop of a hat. Our baby needs a father’s love. I want our baby to grow up healthy. Can you promise me that?”
She was still worried. After everything they had been through, the breakups and reconciliations, she felt insecure. Even though she knew Nash loved her, she feared unexpected changes.
Nash hesitated for a moment, not expecting Nina to bring up such heavy topics at this time. He wanted to reassure her, but he also had to consider reality.
As for the child, he wanted to ensure he would grow up loved and cared for. He knew Nina would be a great mother, and with so many people loving her, their baby would be surrounded by love too.
Ile placed his hand gently on her baby bump, his lips curling into a soft smile. “I understand. But now that I’m back in the army, the future is uncertain. There are greater challenges ahead. If anything happens while I’m on a mission, if I don’t make it back…”
Nina quickly covered his mouth with her hand, her eyes welling up with tears, her heart trembling. “I don’t want to hear you talk like that!”
Nash grasped her hand, kissing it, and promised, “Okay, I won’t say that. I will always be with you, I promise. No matter how far or how tough it gets, I will always find my way back home to you.”
Nina hugged him tightly, holding on to him as if afraid of losing him. She had people who were very important to her and her vulnerabilities, so she couldn’t be as carefree.
She hoped Nash would be safe and always safe.
But thinking about her own health, Nina smiled, “Who knows, my health is already like this. I might die before you do.” “Don’t say that!” Nash looked at her intently. “You can’t say such things! You will be safe and healthy, and so will our baby!”
He held her close, his chin resting on her head. “Nina, I won’t let anything happen to you!”
If it meant his life, he wouldn’t let anything happen to Nina.
Nina nodded, “Just kidding. I know I’ll be fine. With you, Wilfred, and Scott, and so many others who care about me, I won’t give up easily. We’ll be fine. Maybe we can have two more babies in the future, what do you think?”
