On the second floor, she noticed a door that was slightly ajar. Nash must be inside.

Nina rolled up her sleeves and pushed open the door with her cold and determined expression.

"Nash, stop being a coward. Can't you just be straightforward...?"

Standing in the doorway, her eyes locked onto Nash sprawled on the floor.

He looked utterly defeated, surrounded by empty bottles, still clutching one with some liquor left. It seemed he had been drinking all day.

Nina had been furious, ready to confront him. She had planned to say the most hurtful things, aiming to crush his pride and make him feel worthless. But things did not go as she had imagined.

Seeing Nash drunk and disheveled, any cruel words she had prepared now seemed pointless. He would not hear them anyway.

However, she could not understand why Nash had drunk himself into such a state.

Wasn't he supposed to be happy with Miranda?

Hadn't he rid himself of her?

He had humiliated her, boosting his own ego. He should be happy, so why did he seem so miserable?

This was a side of him she had never seen before, revealing his helplessness, defeat, and pain all at once.

She clenched her fists, her emotions swirling. She decided not to engage in a confrontation, choosing to leave the room instead.
