Without further ado, Nina did not say anything more and agreed with Grandpa’s wise words. It was easy to hurt others, but it often backfired.”I’m sorry, Nina,” Eve apologized.”It’s okay, I forgive you!” Nina responded graciously.Grandpa George was satisfied with how things turned out. At least Eve had not made a big mistake this time. “Knowing your mistake is good. What’s important is that you don’t repeat it. That’s what makes a respectable person. No more of these antics in the future,” he instructed.Eve obediently promised, “Got it, Grandpa. I’ll make sure to get along well with Nina from now on.” With that, she linked arms with Nina, wanting to assure Grandpa that she and Nina got along and that such incidents would not happen again.Seeing this, Grandpa George smiled. “Good, keep in touch with her.”Nina felt a bit uncomfortable with Eve’s sudden warmth. Such sudden affection must have an ulterior motive. Fortunately, Eve did not have any ulterior motives. She was just putting on a show in front of Grandpa George to avoid upsetting him.”Grandpa, today is your seventieth birthday. Don’t be unhappy. I wish you all the best, loads of blessings, happiness, good health, and a long life!!” Eve chirped, wishing Grandpa George with all her heart. Grandpa George chuckled happily. “You’re so sweet and thoughtful!”Eve quickly cheered Grandpa up, and the incident was soon forgotten.”We haven’t eaten yet, let’s start the banquet,” Frank said from the side. “I’m starving. Let’s all sit down and enjoy ourselves.”

“Let’s eat,” Grandpa George said, turning to Nash and Nina. “Nash, Nina, both of you, please take a seat.”Nash naturally could not refuse. “Of course.”Grandpa George turned to Nina. “I’ve hired the best chef. You’ll see if it suits your taste. Here, both of you will eat and drink well.””Alright, thank you, Grandpa George,” Nina said politely.”No need to be polite, we’re all family here,” Grandpa George replied.PelWith these words, Grandpa George treated Nash as a family member. Having lost his son and having no, other relatives, these people were his family. Fortunately, he was optimistic and did not dwell in the pain of his loneliness.Nina actually felt some sympathy for him. An elderly person sending off a younger one, with only one granddaughter left, he must feel a bit lonely.The dinner was quite pleasant, with no one pretending or being insincere. Nina also felt relaxed.However, they did not speak much with Nash, and Nash did not seem willing to engage in conversation with them either. Only Grandpa George would occasionally say a few words.After dinner, Nina and Nash left the table. Nina stood by the window in the corridor, enjoying the breeze.”Why did you speak up for me just now? Didn’t want to see me bullied?” Nash stood behind her, hands in his pockets.Nina pondered his question for a moment. Why did she speak up for him? Perhaps, deep down, she could not bear to see him treated unfairly. Ads by PubFuture
Or maybe, she could not stand the idea of him being criticized because of his position. Nina turned around, staring at his face in the dim light “We’re married, so we’re in this together. By helping you, I’m also helping myself, preserving mydignity is important too.”It sounded like an excuse no matter how she put it. Nash smirked, “Really doing it for yourself?””Indeed,” Nina could not understandhis earlier silence and asked, “I don’t understand. You’re usually such a strong person. Why didn’t you speak up when they were criticizing you?” en.swhovels.netIt was completely out of character for Nash. Though they held respectable positions, Nash would never let anyone criticize him.If she had not been there, he probably would have been treated unfairly.
