As time passed, he became more mature and composed.

Nash noticed her gaze and smirked, “What are you thinking while staring at me like that?” Supporting her chin, Nina, caught off guard, shifted her gaze nervously, “Nothing.”

“You were clearly stealing glances at me just now,” Nash countered.

Nina countered back, “If you didn’t look at m would you know I was stealing glances at your

“Well, I did indeed steal glances at you,” Nash admitted frankly. He couldn’t help but notice her every move unintentionally.

This left Nina unsure of how to respond, feeling her heart pounding rapidly.

Nash sliced the steak and handed it to her, “It’s cut. Go ahead, eat.”

Nina cherished his thoughtful care, feeling warmth in her chest instantly. As long as Nash took a step toward her, she felt the world was a much better place.

She picked up her fork and knife, saying, “Do you know what I was thinking when I was looking at you just now?”

Taking a sip of wine, Nash asked, “What were you

thinking?”

“I was thinking how lucky I’ve been all these years. I’ve never faced much hardship in life or work. Although my family wasn’t wealthy, my parents never let me suffer too much. They even managed to send me to college. After I met you, everything went smoothly. You helped me repay my father’s debts, and I married you without any obstacles. There’s nothing I can’t overcome. Even when I almost died once, I was saved. I’m indeed very lucky, luckier than many others.”

So, she felt content.

Nash listened attentively. After spending years with her, he knew quite a bit about he situation. She was the apple of her parents’ eye. But…

“Almost died? You never mentioned that to me,” Nash inquired, “What happened?”

Nina locked eyes with Nash, taking a deep breath, Kidnapping. I was kidnapped once.”

Nash immediately locked his gaze onto her, intrigued.

Nina’s expression softened, “During that incident when I almost died, I wasn’t the only one held captive.” Speaking of this, Nina felt a pang of sadness, “But I was the only one who survived.” “Someone saved you?” Nash asked.

Nina’s eyes sparkled with anticipation, “Yes, someone saved me. That person was like a hero

who descended from the heavens. Without him, I would have died.”

She remembered it vividly. It was the biggest turning point in her life, something she would never forget.

But Nash’s gaze changed. He set down his glass and, under Nina’s hopeful gaze, spoke indifferently, “That person’s name is Zac, right?”

Nina lifted her gaze, locking eyes with Nash, her hands tightly gripping the tablecloth. How did he know?

At that moment, Nina felt a mixture of fear and anticipation, as if her secret was about to be exposed.

Nash’s

s gaze turned icy, like a cold arrow piercing through Nina’s heart, “If you liked him so much, why did you marry me in the first place?”

His words caused Nina’s expression to change. Her hands gradually loosened their grip on the tablecloth, and she even looked a bit distressed, What?”

Nash stood up, “Am I wrong? The person you like is Zac, but you ended up marrying me. He’s your hero, the one you can’t forget.”

Nina felt like a bucket of cold water had been

poured over her. So, he didn’t know anything. He didn’t remember.

Perhaps she had been thinking too much. What she considered a romantic and brave experience might
