CHAPTER 136
CEO
Julia was almost driven mad by Lily but her mood lifted, knowing that this couple had a good relationship. As long as her daughter was well, there wasnât much that could trouble her. She also wanted to suppor their relationship, âNina, Nash only lends a hand because of you. He treats you well, so you should reciprocate and treat Nash better.â
Hearing this, Nina glanced at Nash. When did he start pleasing her mother so much to always side with him?
Nash was quite pleased and said to Julia, âMom, itâs because youâve been saying good things about me.â
Julia smiled and said, âOf course, Iâm not blind. I can naturally see your goodness.â
Her gaze shifted to Zion.
Zionâs gaze was fixed on them, filled with both joy and worry. He was happy that Nina married into a good family without much suffering, but worried about how long they could maintain this and whether his daughter was truly happy.
After a while, they completed Zionâs administrative formalities. He could go home after a week in the hospital, with no major health issues. After chatting for a while, they left. Zion didnât want to delay them, fearing to trouble them, and reminded them several times.
As they walked out, Nina felt a bit sad, âDad is always like this, never speaking up about his troubles. If I hadnât found out, I wouldnât have known he endured so much suffering.â Nash held Ninaâs shoulder, comforting her, âWith me around, Dad wonât suffer anymore.â
Nina looked at him. The commotion caused by her aunt made her feel ashamed, revealing their familyâs most impoverished side to him. No matter how many times, she couldnât bring herself to face it and was afraid of burdening him.
She lowered her gaze, âYou donât have to bother every time. My dad just needs to toughen up, and no one can drag him down. Heâs just too sentimental, but he should be fine now after a few lessons.â
Nash pursed his lips, hesitant to

speak, before finally saying, âAs long as I am still your husband in name wonât stand idly by regarding matters concerning your family.â He added, âIâll also respect things you donât agree with, like your aunt.â
Nina understood that if he wanted to make it up to her, he would wholeheartedly treat her well and try to solve all the difficulties around her. However, she joked, âSince when did you join forces with my mom?â
A smile played on Nashâs lips, âIf I donât please your mom, none of the Walker family would like me.â
He had self-awareness, knowing
that Zion never fully trusted him. Winning over the mother-in-law in this household would win over
everyoneâs hearts. He had put net
a
lot of effort. Nina could see that he
was quite cunning.
Back at the company, there were many rumors lately. Everyone knew Nash had a family but there were rumors about him having a new love interest.
With this, his previous romantic
escapades became even more
conspicuous. Taylor even
mentioned that people at the
company were curious about who Nashâs wife was and wanted to organize groups to stake out his home.
This surprised Nina quite a bit. Were they really that gossip-hungry?
She also wondered if her marriage to Nash would become more widely known and possibly exposed before they divorced.
The York family home belonged to Nashâs private space so it was guarded quite carefully. They were escorted out even before they got close. No one knew who the mysterious Mrs. York was living in the mansion.
However, she had heard someone mention that Miranda had started filming again. Unable to sing due to her throat issues, she had transitioned to acting in order to stay relevant in the entertainment industry.
