As he embraced her, Nina stiffened for a moment before setting down the pot she was cooking in and asked, “What’s wrong? Dinner will be ready soon.”But Nash held her tighter, burying his face in her hair. The familiar scent eased his uneasy emotions. “Nothing, I just feel more comfortable being with you,” he murmured.Nina’s gaze remained indifferent as she continued stirring the vegetables in the pot. “The kitchen is filled with smoke. It’s not suitable for you.”Nash insisted, “Anywhere with you is fine.”In the past, Nina would have found this comforting, her heart filled with joy. But now, it was as if Nash’s sweet words had no effect. Perhaps too many days of anticipation had made her heart numb. She did not push him away, nor did she reject him. She simply stayed quiet and kept him close.She knew they rarely had such opportunities, and they would not have many more. Once the food was ready, she pulled Nash’s hand away and turned to him with a smile. “Let’s go, it’s ready. I’ll plate it nicely before serving.””No need to be so particular,” Nash said, not minding at all. As long as it was made by her, he would eat it all.”Girls like things to be fancy,” Nina explained as she ushered him out, feeling embarrassed under his puzzled gaze. “Quick, take a seat. Don’t make me feel awkward!”Once Nash was pushed out, he turned back to see Nina closing the kitchen door behind her, prohibiting his entry. Watching her busy figure and attention to detail, her womanly appearance brought a smile to his lips.He did not refuse her kindness and sat at the dining table, waiting for her.In the quiet of the night, with dim lighting, the atmosphere was set. Nash’s fingers tapped on the table, and at the slightest sound from the kitchen, he looked up eagerly.In the dim light, Nash’s deep eyes gazed at Nina as she approached slowly.She was not wearing the usual rigid and solemn professional attire. Instead, she had on a white sweater and loose pants. Her fair skinseemed to glow under the white netsweater, and her lips were curved slightly, giving her a joyful appearance. Her hair was loosely tied back, adding to her gentle and beautiful aura. Nash found himself unintentionally captivated by her appearance. He noticed that Nina looked even more beautiful now. How had he not noticed before?Nina brought all the dishes to the table. It was just home-cooked meals, three dishes and a soup, enough for the two of them. After arranging the food, she asked him, “Would you like some wine?”Nash snapped out of his daze, composed himself, and replied softly, “A moderate amount.””I’ll get you some red wine,” Nina hurried to the wine cabinet.Nash’s intense gaze remained on Nina as she went and returned with the wine, pouring it into his glass and placing it in front of him. Once everything was set, Nina finally sat down. She had juice in her glass and initiated a toast with Nash. “Before we start eating, let’s have a drink.”After saying that, Nina took a sip.Nash watched her, impressed by how well everything was done. He swirled his wine glass lightly and asked, “You seem more proactive today than usual.” Ads by PubFuture
It almost felt like she was being attentive.Nina took another sip and then looked at Nash. “Really? People can’t stay the same forever. Being flexible in your thinking can make life much easier.”Nash seized on her words and asked again, “Were you feeling tired in life before?”Nina looked at the empty glass in her hand and shook her head. “No, I’ve never felt tired since I married you. Having someone to take care of me living the life of a wealthy wife, I’ve never felt tired.”
