Nina asked quietly, "If I must ensure your happiness, appease your mom, and prevent your aunt from feeling disappointed, then what about me?"

Nash responded somewhat resentfully, "Nina, don't forget, it was you who told Grandpa that you wanted to marry me."

Nina recalled the promise of two million and the shares. Her head throbbed, and it felt like an invisible hand was squeezing her heart fiercely. For a moment, she struggled to breathe. She did not want to discuss these matters with Nash anymore. Leaning against the car window, she closed her eyes.

Nash remained silent, assuming she was tired. Before long, the driver parked the car at the entrance of Riverview Estate.

Initially, Nash had not planned to wake her up, thinking she could rest a while longer. Surprisingly, Nina pushed open the car door. Observing her steady steps, Nash suddenly realized she was not tired; she just did not want to face him.

He pursed his lips, following her. "You head in first. If everything's fine, we'll change and then go see Zoe."

"What could go wrong? With a villa under Mr. York's name, it's undoubtedly the most valuable setup," Nina chuckled.

Nash pursed his lips, choosing not to respond, and lit a cigarette instead. At that moment, he felt the urge to smoke. Nina disliked the smell of smoke, but Nash could not be stopped. She would promptly help disperse the smoke and place mint-scented sachets in his pockets.

However, this time, the smell of smoke made her instinctively distance herself from him, a gesture Nash noticed. He took a drag from his cigarette and exhaled slowly. Amidst the swirling haze, his features blurred, but his dark eyes remained fixed on Nina.
