Chapter 723
Her parents had previously expressed their frustration about the matter. However, she was still their daughter, and despite their complaints, they cherished her deeply.
Moreover, they were about to become grandparents, something they had longed for. They had always hoped Nina would have a child, so even when they were no longer around, she wouldn't be alone. Thus, they accepted it.
"No, Mom," Nina said to them. "At that time, I wasn't ready, so I didn't tell you. I'm really sorry about that."
Zion, standing by the door, noticed Yvonne had brought her home and immediately guessed, "Did you have another fight with Nash?"
He guessed right, but Nina did not want to face it. "Can't I come home without it being a big deal? It's not like I haven't stayed here before. You're always jumping to conclusions and assuming the worst." "We're just worried about you," Julia said. "We only want you to be happy. You're pregnant, and if you're upset, your father and I will be heartbroken. So we want to know what's going on. Otherwise, we can't rest easy."
"Nothing's wrong. I just wanted to come visit," Nina still didn't tell the truth. She wanted to protect Nash's image. If she revealed the truth, her parents would criticize Nash even more. Despite everything, she still wanted to preserve his dignity.
"That's good," Julia said cautiously. She had tested Nash before, and if he made Nina upset after just a few days, it would mean she had misjudged him. She was extra careful when asking about their relationship.
Yvonne chatted with them for a bit before leaving, despite their attempts to get her to stay. She had other things to attend to, so she left. Nina's parents warmly saw her off.
"Do you want a snack?" Julia asked Nina. "You're pregnant, and it's easy to get hungry. If you want something, I'll make it for you right away."
"No, Mom," Nina quickly took her hand and looked at Zion. "Dad, you sit down too."
Zion complied and sat beside Julia.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" Zion asked, obviously excited about the arrival of his grandchild. He chatted with Nina, "If you haven't, you should start thinking about it. If you wait until the baby is born, there won't be enough time."
Julia added happily, "Yes, when you were born, your father spent so much time going through dictionaries. It took him ages fo decide. As a mother, you should start preparing too."
"Yes," Nina responded softly.
"Will the baby have the last name York or Walker?" Julia asked. "I think Walker sounds nice..."
Nina had wanted to ask them questions amid their cheerful mood. She said, "Mom, Dad, I wasn't kidnapped in middle school. It happened in high school. Why didn't you tell me?"
Her parents were stunned, their faces frozen. Zion was the first to recover. "Who told you that?"
Nina replied, "No one. I realized I lost a part of my memory, and you hid it from me. Does it have anything to do with you?"
Nina was starting to doubt everyone, including her parents, who had chosen to deceive her about her past.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Julia and Zion exchanged glances.
"Nina, we didn't tell you because we wanted to protect you. We were afraid it would traumatize you again. You are our only precious daughter, and we wanted you to live a happy life. Since you didn't seem to want to remember, we didn't dare bring it up."
