Chapter 1522
Early the next morning, Nina decided to set aside her work. She left home promptly to check on Diana and her two
children.
Lately, due to her involvement with Vans, Nina felt guilty. Not only had she caused the pregnant Diana undue stress,
but she had also indirectly endangered her during the incident in Jacroaof.
And now, with Sean back home, Nina felt that she was becoming more incompetent as a godmother.
Compelled by her guilt, Nina didn't hold back while shopping for supplies. By the time she exited the supermarket,
an hour had already slipped by.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith her hands full, she struggled to find a taxi driver willing to accommodate her and her purchases. Only after
offering extra money did a driver finally agree to take her.
As she pondered her recent experiences, Nina considered it might be time for her to purchase a car.
She had been working for many years and had a bit of a career. She had no plans to leave Richburgh, and she was
alone in the city.
In the future...
She didn't know how long she'd be stuck with Vans in this situation.
The dream she once held of settling down with someone she loved, marrying early, and leading a simple life
seemed increasingly distant.
She didn’t know why she was so insistent on being involved with Vans.
When Vans had asked her if she'd be willing to wait for him, even knowing he was about to marry someone else,
she agreed. She realized that by consenting, she was agreeing to be his secret lover-a role she never thought she'd
assume.
But still, she...
She chose a path that she would have despised in the past, and became a person she hated the most.
Such thoughts weighed heavily on her heart, making her despondent. Her smiles had become increasingly scarce
lately. The sympathetic taxi driver, noticing the tears streaming down her face, kindly offered her some tissues.
"Do my eyes look especially swollen, sir?" she asked.
It wasn't just this morning, but she had been crying a lot lately. It was also the reason she hadn’t met up with Diana
all this time.

The driver nodded. "Yes."
Nina handed the driver an additional fifty dollars. "Could you please pull over for about ten minutes?"
She needed a moment to collect herself.
She couldn't let Vans consume her thoughts any longer.
Rummaging through her makeup bag, Nina applied some cosmetics to freshen up her appearance, hoping to
disguise the signs of her distress.
Above all, she didn't want Diana to see her in this state.
