Chapter 42
After graduation, Nina became busy with work and had her own family. Her parents hesitated to bother her and rarely called. Likewise, she neglected them in her busy schedule.
Returning home, it was Zion Walker who opened the door for her, holding a newspaper in his hand and wearing reading glasses. His typically stern face lit up with a smile at the sight of Nina. "Nina, you're back. Come in quickly."
Nina stepped inside, and Zion handed her a pair of slippers. "Your mom knows you're back and she's making your favorite dishes. You're in for a treat today."
"Great, I'm craving mom's BBQ ribs," Nina said, linking her arm with Zion's. "And I also want to eat the wild fish dad caught."
"You're such a glutton," Zion chuckled.
Nina took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "I'll go help mom in the kitchen...

"Oh no, you don't have to," Zion tried to stop her.
But before he could say more, Nina saw that the kitchen wasn't just occupied by Julia, but also by a tall figure. He had taken off his expensive suit and was standing beside her, washing vegetables. Aware of her presence, he glanced over and softly said, "You're back."

"You're back," Julia said happily, turning to face. her, wiping her hands on her apron. "Oh, our Nina, let me have a good look to see if you've lost weight."
Julia stepped out, pulling Nina along for a closer look. "Nope, you haven't lost weight. It seems like Nash is taking good care of you."
Nina looked surprised at Nash, "Mom, why is he here?"
"Nina, didn't you ask Nash to come see us old folks? "Julia replied. “Nash is such a filial child, even more proactive than you. He's helping out in the kitchen, despite his busy schedule with business dealings. Look at how fortunate you are!" Julia
smiled happily, content as long as her daughter was happy.
Nash finished washing the vegetables and spoke to her, "Don't worry, Mom. As long as I'm here, I'l take good care of Nina."
"See what a great son-in-law he is," Julia looked at Zion again. "Right, Zion?"
Zion was reading the newspaper. Upon hearing the voices, he glanced over, gave a perfunctory "hmm," then turned back to the newspaper. Meanwhile, Nina pursed her lips.
Julia pulled Nina out and showed her a table full of things. "Nina, these are all bought by Nash. Knowing I have cervical spondylosis, he bought me a massage chair. This one's for your dad. Take a look at these. I've never seen any man as considerate as Nash," Julia praised.

"You better cherish him," she added, patting Nina's. hand.
Nina never talked to her family about her
relationship with Nash. They knew nothing and thought she and Nash were deeply in love. When she married into the York family, her parents thought it was because Nash loved her that he repaid their debts, but they never knew that his grandfather was also involved.
She didn't want to worry them or make them feel like they were selling their daughter, so she never brought it up. Nina could only comply and say, "I understand, Mom."
"Have you been having neck pain lately?" Nina asked with concern.
Julia sighed. "As people age, it's common to have a bit of soreness. It hurts so much at night that I can't sleep."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Nina gently massaged her shoulders, but Julia
stopped her. "Nina, don't worry about me. You
should focus more on Nash. Look, he's still in the kitchen."
