But after all the facade shattered, she had regrets, yet she did not want to blthem. Their marriage was their business. If they were divorcing, she could not treat him the sas before.
Now, when Nash cto their home, he could only be treated as a guest. No more favors. Nash knew it would cto this and his image in their hearts had taken a big hit. He wanted to redeem himself, especially in front of Nina's parents.
"It's no trouble to lend a hand when I'm idle," Nash persisted despite Julia's standoffishness, taking the initiative to help her.
Julia wanted to refuse, but Nash had already walked into the kitchen, just as he used to, understanding her hardships and volunteering to help. Julia sighed inwardly as she watched him.

No matter how high her husband's status was, he could humble himself in front of her family, showing that he cared deeply for her. That was what she used to think, that her beloved daughter was loved, and she could finally rest easy. But it was all a facade.
Julia did not say anything and followed Nash.
Nina could still notice the subtle shifts in her parents' demeanor. Despite their polite facade, she could tell they still harbored reservations about her marriage to Nash.
Her father always had concerns, but her mother's disappointment would be more palpable. She thought her daughter had found a good match, only to be disappointed. "Nina," Eve called Nina several times.
Nina turned around. "Yeah, what's up?" she asked.
"I've been calling you several times. Why aren't you responding?" Eve noticed Nina seemed lost in thought, so she leaned in and whispered, "Do your parents not like Nash?" Nina asked, "Why would you say that?" "I can tell they don't give him a warm reception. It's like they don't like him at all," Eve remarked. "It's the first tI've seen Nash being so humble. He must be trying to impress your parents." Nina pursed her lips. "Maybe he wants to leave a good impression on them." "I've never seen Nash so patient before. It's clear that he values you, and that extends to your family. I understand," Eve added.

Despite his aloofness, she still regarded him as her brother. Her grandfather had said Nash was just like her so she understood him.
