Chapter 245 

Nina asked quietly, “If I must ens 

our happiness, appease your mom, and 

prevent your aunt from feeling disappointed, then what about me?” 

Nash responded somewhat resentfully, “Nina, don’t forget, it was you who told Grandpa that you wanted to marry me.” 

Nina recalled the promise of two million and the shares. Her head throbbed, and it felt like an invisible hand was squeezing her heart fiercely. For a moment, she struggled to breathe. She did not want to discuss these matters with Nash anymore. Leaning against the car window, she closed her eyes. 

Nash remained silent, assuming she was tired. Before long, the driver parked the 

car at the entrance of Riverview Estate. 

Initially, Nash had not planned to wake her up, thinking she could rest a while longer. Surprisingly, Nina pushed open the car door. Observing her steady steps, Nash suddenly realized she was not tired; she just did not want to face him. 

He pursed his lips, following her. “You head in first. If everything’s fine, we’ll change and then go see Zoe.” 

“What could go wrong? With a villa under Mr. York’s name, it’s undoubtedly the most valuable setup,” Nina chuckled. 

Nash pursed his lips, choosing not to respond, and lit a cigarette instead. At that moment, he felt the urge to smoke. Nina disliked the smell of smoke, but Nash could not be stopped. She would promptly help disperse the smoke and place mint -scented sachets in his pockets. 

However, this time, the smell of smoke made her instinctively distance herself from him, a gesture Nash noticed. He took a drag from his cigarette and exhaled slowly. Amidst the swirling haze, his features blurred, but his dark eyes remained 

fixed on Nina. 

Nina changed a lot recently. 

She helped him find the woman from that night, yet also kept her distance from 

him.

What Zac gave

he would reme 

was the light of her youth. It was the most important 

ife. Nash had forgotten about it, and she did not know when 

Since he misunderstood that Zac was someone else, then let him continue to 

misunderstand forever. Nina chuckled lightly. “What he brought to me is the 

same as what Miranda brought to you.” 

“Nina, I don’t want to become a divorced man for the time being.” Nash took a 

deep breath, restraining his anger. 

Nina remained calm, “Then I’ll have to proceed with legal procedures.” 

“Do you think anyone dares to take this case?” Nash did not take Nina’s words 

seriously. 

He was a powerful figure, a business tycoon who ruled the business world and was capable of influencing outcomes with a mere gesture. Anyone daring to take on his case must be either incredibly brave of utterly foolish 

Nina felt distressed. Did she really have to resort to Yvonne’s suggested method if she wanted to divorce Nash? 

At that moment, Nash’s phone rang. It was Zoe calling Zoe did not mince her words over the phone, “Tonight, I’m hosting a masquerade ball at Emerald Bay You bring Nina to attend. Don’t tell me you have other plans. I won’t accept any excuses. If I don’t see both of you there, you’ll bear the consequences!” 

With that, Zoe hung up directly. Nash said lightly. “Did you hear that? Let’s not disappoint Zoe 

Nina’s heart felt like it was being twisted with a knife. She could keep playing the obedient role, but what about Nash? 

The only one feeling uneasy was herself

butterfly mask for Nina. “Nina, I think white suits you. It’s beautiful, pure, and 

noble.” 

Linking arms with Nina, Zoe left Nash behind. 

Nash followed, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by the security guard at the door. “Mr. York, this is Miss York’s masquerade ball. Please respect the rules.”
