CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery
Chapter 245

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.

Nina changed a lot recently.

She helped him replace the woman from that night, yet also kept her distance from him.

She appeared somewhat aloof, not as gentle as before.

"Let's go." With this thought, Nash lost his desire to continue smoking. He tossed the cigarette away and crushed it.

Originally intending to show Nina around Riverview Estate, since she seemed disinterested, there was no point lingering there. They could go to Zoe's place instead and have some fun. Nina did not say a word, obediently following behind him.

Once they were in the car, they remained silent.

Nash reached for her hand, holding it gently, while his other arm wrapped around her shoulder.

Nina leaned into his embrace, listening to the powerful rhythm of his heartbeat against his chest.

It was their most peaceful moment. There was not much conversation, and they refrained from dwelling too deeply on their thoughts.

She felt that as long as she mentioned it a few more times and changed herself a bit, Nash would eventually agree to divorce her.

However, she did not have much time left. She needed Nash's consent before her pregnancy became noticeable.

They arrived at Emerald Bay at 11:45 p.m.

The bay was brightly lit, with lively music filling the air.

As they stepped out of the car, they were greeted by Zoe herself at the entrance.

Seeing them hand in hand, Zoe was pleased. "It's a masquerade ball. Take your pick. The party's in full swing now, and I've invited many of my friends and they brought along more friends." There were quite a few young people around.

As Zoe finished speaking, she pushed Nash aside and personally selected a white butterfly mask for Nina. "Nina, I think white suits you. It's beautiful, pure, and noble."

Linking arms with Nina, Zoe left Nash behind.

Nash followed, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by the security guard at the door. "Mr. York, this is Miss York's masquerade ball. Please respect the rules."
