He took a sip, bitter yet sweet. Only Nina could brew this cup of pure black coffee so skillfully.

Nina hesitated for a moment, but was still quite moved, "How long will it be roughly until you finish this busy period?"

Aside from their immediate families and closest friends, hardly anyone knew she was married to Nash. Beyond their marriage certificate, they did not even have a photo together, let alone gone on a honeymoon.

If Nash decided to take her to Frangelia, she could consider it their honeymoon trip. That would be a way to live without regrets in this lifetime.

Nash was silent for a few seconds, then slowly responded, "At most, a week later."

"Okay." That was a wait she could manage.

Since she did not have to go to the office tomorrow, she could look for a hospital to have a proper prenatal check-up. With Yvonne around, she could use Yvonne as a shield.

Nina dared not drift off too much, "Then you go ahead, I'll head back to my room."

After Nash nodded, Nina left the study. Back in her room, she chatted with Yvonne on the phone for a while. Then she watched some episodes of a series, and checked the latest stock market. Seeing that the stock she had bought had not fluctuated much, she went to take a bath.

After her bath, she lay in bed and soon fell into a deep sleep. She woke up to a rough hand slowly moving up her waist. The burning breath lingered at the back of her neck.

"I haven't been feeling well lately." Nina grabbed his hand, not daring to move rashly.

She had heard that during the early stages of pregnancy, couples should refrain from intimate activities. More importantly, she was afraid that Nash would notice something unusual. Nash did not say anything, nor did he continue his movements. But in the darkness, Nina could still feel the intensity of his piercing dark eyes.

"Nina, it's not the first or second time you've rejected me," Nash's husky voice echoed in the darkness.

Nina felt a chill down her spine. Nash's anger was even more frightening. She could not bear to think of his overly fierce actions.

Nina's voice was hoarse as she spoke, "I'm sorry. I'm really tired, my stomach isn't great, I don't want to spoil the mood."

Nash coldly threw back, "You're already spoiling it!"

With that, he threw off the covers and got out of bed. Within a minute, Nina heard the sound of water rushing in the bathroom. It was not long before the sound of the water stopped. Shortly after, she heard the door close, and Nina felt a weight in her chest.

The next day, Nina woke up early. As she came downstairs, she saw Nash dressed in a tank top and black shorts. Nash had a habit of going for a morning run.

"You should at least have breakfast before leaving," Nash noted, seeing that Nina had already changed and put on makeup.

Nina nodded, "Yes, I was planning to make breakfast."

Nash stopped her, "Walk with me."

His request was so simple, Nina found it hard to refuse.

She walked out with Nash, side by side, and after a few steps, Nash asked her, "What are your plans for today?"

Nina thought for a moment, "I need to buy some clothes, do you need anything?"

If he needed anything, she could pick it up for him.

Nash replied indifferently, "I don't need anything. What are your plans?"

"Nothing much, if there's enough time, I might go with Yvonne to browse some art exhibitions."

That was her simplest plan.

Nash nodded, "If you come back early, prepare dinner and bring it to the office."

"Okay." Nina did not refuse.

She and Nash walked for about ten minutes before they headed back.
