Chapter 282
Nina was stunned.
Nash had never been this gentle with her before. If it weren't for the three years in the agreement and the presence of Miranda, she might have reignited the desire to stay by his side because of his actions and words.
Nina nodded. "I know Caleb won't bite, but I really didn't find any major issues. Nash, why don't you trust me? Do I look sick to you?
"Or do you think I look pregnant?"
This time, Nina took the initiative.
Although Nash had mentioned it before, she had always denied it. This time, she brought it up first, hoping Nash would dispel the idea.
Nash did not respond.
However, his gaze fell on her again because of Nina's words.
He had noticed she had gained weight recently. But these days, he felt her complexion was not as good as before, and she seemed a bit thinner.
"I'll have the helper make you something delicious to replenish your energy later. I've made an appointment. You'll stay here for now," Nash said slowly, his voice husky.
Nina nodded.
That night, when Nina went to bed, she dared not wear light-colored clothes. She chose an oversized checkered nightgown.
Not long after she lay down, Nash lay down beside her.
Nina's entire body tensed up instantly.
"I just want to hold you and sleep," Nash's voice sounded muffled in the darkness.
But a man's words were the least reliable.
Nina was also afraid that his hand would touch her belly.
Without moving, Nina replied, "No need. We have an appointment tomorrow. Let's just sleep together tonight. Starting tomorrow, we'll still sleep separately. I don't want you to lose control of yourself and for me to accidentally get pregnant."
Nash's attitude was not as firm as before.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
He said, "Well, during this cooling-off period, if you do get pregnant, then just have the baby."
Nina was completely stunned. Did
Nash mean that he did not want a divorce and still wanted to have a child with her? Without Miranda in the picture, she might have believed it.
Nina refused, "I don't want to have a child with you, Nash. Let's part amicably. Our contractual marriage serves each of our needs. While I'm still young, let's not hold each other back any longer."
"Let's sleep," Nash said, indicating he did not want to discuss it further.
Nina remained wary and kept her distance from him. Eventually, she drifted off to sleep uncontrollably.
When she woke up, she found herself in Nash's arms.
Nina's back went cold. She had slept so deeply!
Did Nash do anything to her while she was asleep?
"I didn't do anything to you, I just
held you for a while as you slept et
Since you're awake now, let's go downstairs for breakfast," Nash said, realizing she was now awake. en.swhovels.net
He also noticed that it was already daylight.
Nina did not say anything, but quickly got up from his embrace.
She went into the bathroom, then to the walk-in closet, and emerged in a loose-fitting outfit.
Nash remarked, "Your dressing style has changed a lot recently."
Nina hastily responded, "I haven't been going to the office, so why should I dress so formally at home? It's tiring."
Nash made a low "Hmm" sound, tacitly accepting her explanation.
Seeing he did not say anything more, Nina said, "I'll go downstairs then."
"Go ahead," Nash replied.
With that, Nina left the bedroom. It was too early for the helpers to start preparing breakfast, so Nina took over their tasks.
