CHAPTER 208

She gazed at Nash suddenly, noticing his icy demeanor and his chilling gaze. He spoke coolly, “You’ve been acting strange lately. Are you afraid I’ll find out something?”

Nina’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s wrong? Find… find what?”

Nash replied, “Ever since you started finding women for me, I’ve sensed something off about you. And sneaking off to the hospital!”

Nina avoided his gaze. “My life is perfectly normal. You’re just imagining things.”

“Then tell me why. Give me a convincing reason!” Nash always felt Nina was being secretive, as if she had a secret he had not uncovered yet. He could not quite guess what it was and had to wait for her to confess.

Nina crossed her hands, trying to ease her tension, and spoke lightly, “Nash, haven’t you noticed something off about yourself?”

“Me? Something off?”

After all this time, Nash only got such an explanation from Nina. Her explanation was a bit hard to believe.

“What’s wrong with me?”

“Your attention has been entirely on me lately.”

At her words, Nash pursed his lips slightly.

“Some of my actions make you suspicious. Maybe you’re just being overly sensitive.” She deflected the blame onto him.

Nina continued, “Why are you becoming so sensitive? You never used to be like this. You never cared whether I went to the hospital or my little habits like drinking milk. You’re only paying more attention to me recently. You’re becoming more concerned about me. Haven’t you realized you’re becoming more interested in me?”

Nina looked at Nash earnestly. “Could it be you’ve developed feelings for me?”

Nash’s face stiffened at her words, then quickly darkened as he said coldly, “Nina, you’re crossing a line!”

Nina also calmly shifted her gaze,

expecting him to give her that

answer. She used to yearn for it, but now the desire was not as strong. All she wanted was to divert his attention away from her. She didn’t want him to focus too much on her. Ultimately, she wanted them both to maintain some dignity.

“I know I shouldn’t overstep,” Nina’s tone was light as she spoke slowly. “Those were your words on the day you got married. You told me to recognize my own identity, not

your wife. I definitely shouldn’t do anything out of line. If I do, I’ll know what you’re capable of, and you’ll punish me.”

With each word, Nina’s burden seemed to weigh heavier, as if she had exhausted all her strength. I’ve always remembered that I shouldn’t cross the line!”

Even if she was carrying his child, she did not dare tell him. She feared she could not bear the consequences of his methods. “Good to know,” Nash’s tone was indifferent, unwilling to dwell on her words. He had not even considered them.

As the car stopped, Nina did not hesitate to get out without pausing. Before she stepped out, Nash’s eyes lingered on her figure.

After a moment of thought, he said, “You’ve been through a lot by my side over the years.”

Nina halted her steps, turning back to look at him curiously. “Nash, do you remember how long we’ve known each other?” Without hesitation, Nash replied, “Seven years.”

He had known her for seven years, while she had known him for thirteen.

Nina smiled and responded, “It’s good that you know.”
