It was already three in the afternoon when they left the cemetery.
Jasper went back to acting as Harrisonâs driver and bodyguard as he
and Lauren sat in the back seat.
Melody bought a Porsche 911 when Nash was in the hospital.
Inspired by her, Finn also got a Mercedes-Benz G-Class at a
discounted price.
Harrison leaned out of the car window. âHera, your mom and I will head to the company first. You stay with Nash these next few days.â Without waiting for Heraâs response, Jasper drove away.
Hera linked her arm with Nashâs. Together, they made their way to Melodyâs car. She opened the car door courteously and welcomed
him inside.
Nash lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. âLetâs take a walk,â he
suggested.
Hera hesitated for a moment but then nodded. It had been a long
time since they had taken a walk together. Nashâs initiative was not
something she would refuse.
Melody asked, âShould I go back first?â
Nash took another drag of his cigarette and smiled. âIf you donât mind
witnessing some affection, you can join us for a walk. Or you can go
ahead with your own matters. Weâll call Finn to pick us up-when weâre
tired.â
With the matter of the ghoul overlord resolved, Nash felt relaxed.

Although Peter and Duncan were still hiding on Black Wind
Mountains, the threat they posed was much smaller compared to the ghoul overlord.
Melody rolled her eyes at Nash. âIf you get tired, just call Finn. I have
an appointment with a real estate agent to view some properties this
afternoon!â
Hera widened her eyes in surprise. âAre you buying a house, Melody?â
Melody settled into the driverâs seat and started the car. She grinned
and showed her teeth as she replied, âIâve grown tired of hotels. I want
to feel the comfort of a home!â With that, she stepped on the accelerator and swiftly drove away.
Finn maneuvered his G-Class in front of Nash and Hera. âIâll take Ken
around. Just send me your location when youâre tired.â
Ken muttered quietly, âDonât you have a date with Yasmin?â
âI scheduled it for tonight. Isnât it still early now? Mr. Nash is more important. I know what takes precedence.â
Finn gave Ken a stern look. Everything he had now was tha man. Nash was, in a sense, his boss, his leader, and som had given him opportunities. He would always prioritize him.

âAlright, you guys do whatever you need to do. Weâll catch a tax Nash said with a smile, his hands in his pocket. He did not wa
interfere with Finnâs plans.
After watching Finnâs car drive off into the distance, Nash-held Heraâs hand. They strolled along the sidewalk next to the parking lot.
Hera occasionally glanced at Nashâs profile. She could forget about

the troubles at the company and let go of all distractions whenever
she walked with him. Even if they did not talk and just walked silently, being together felt incredibly peaceful to her.
Nash noticed Heraâs gaze and turned to look at her with a smile. âIs there something on my face?â he asked.
âYesâ¦â Hera replied earnestly.
Nash took out his phone from his pocket, opened the front camera,
and glanced at it. âThereâs nothing there!â he exclaimed.
Hera cupped Nashâs face in her hands and rubbed it gently. âHow can
there be nothing? You have the word âhandsomeâ written all over your
face!â
Nash chuckled knowingly. âWell, thereâs nothing I can do about that. I
was born with it, so I canât wash it away.â
Hera cut in, âDo you have to be so narcissistic?â
âItâs called confidence, you know. How else was I supposed to get you
to fall for me at first sight?â
A slight smile graced Nashâs
lips. As the gentle breeze brus
them, Heraâs soft hair drifted to Nashâs face. The two of ther

Hera took two steps forward, tiptoed gently, and kissed him. N responded by embracing her slender waist. Many passersby on th way to Deâanne Cemetery glanced sideways at them.
