"Got it, James!"

"You were all talking so animatedly; I want to see who this person is..." James didn't believe Nash would be interested in any young girl, especially since he had someone back home.

He was curious and peeked over, only to see a familiar-looking figure from behind. He also noticed Nash's gaze, which was indeed as affectionate as the others had described.

He silently remarked, "This is bad! There's going to be trouble back home!"

James grew anxious. If Nash found a girlfriend here, what about the wife back home?

Curious, one of the soldiers nudged him, "What do you think, James?"

James pushed them back, "Stop gossiping! Captain isn't like that!"

"Okay, okay!"

They listened to James and quieted down.

But inside, James was nervous. He was more anxious than anyone else.

He knew how deeply Nash felt for Nina, so it didn't seem likely he had feelings for someone else. But that back view looked a lot like Nina's.
