Chapter 1172

Yvonne showed Nina the message, and the commanding tone in Joe's words was unmistakable.

"You're not going," Nina said firmly. "What's he going to do about it? Even if he somehow finds this place, we have Nash here, and worst-case scenario, Nigel can help too, right?"

Nina's instincts told her there was something unspoken and troubling between Yvonne and Joe. She didn't push for details, but she wasn't about to let her friend fall deeper into a bad situation.

So I figured, why wait for the perfect moment? Sometimes, you just have to go for it." Yvonne instinctively wanted to refuse, but Nina quickly took the flowers and handed them back to her. She leaned in and whispered, "Just enjoy the moment. Don't overthink it, okay?"
