Chapter 1335
She had no intention of arranging a get-together just yet. With the situation around the organization still
unresolved, meeting up with Lydia and Quincy could only risk drawing unwanted attention toward them. It would
be putting them in harm's way. "When we get home, I'll reach out to Quincy. | have a project at the company that
I'd like to collaborate on with him," Nash said. He was considering collaborating with Quincy because he trusted
his integrity and knew Quincy would approach the project with commitment, regardless of its scale. "Why don't
you just focus on driving?" Nina suggested. "I'll reach out to Lydia instead and send a quick text. They're
probably both busy at this hour." She pulled out her phone, found Lydia in her contacts, and sent a cute emoji.
With no immediate reply, she left it at that. As they pulled up to their house, Nina barely had tto step inside
with the takeout before Orion crunning up to her. He didn't even notice the bag in her hand as he wrapped
his arms around her, clinging tightly.

Nina exchanged a quick glance with Nash before offering Orion a reassuring smile. "There's nothing to worry
about, sweetie. The line was just long, and they ran out of things, so | had to wait a little while."
Orion exhaled tically, his small shoulders relaxing. "That's a relief. But, Mom, next time, don't worry about
waiting. You can just chome, even if they're out. | don't need fried chicken that badly."
There was plenty of food at home,
after all, and he wasn't going to insist on just one meal. Nina hugged
him close and spun heged
making him laugh out loud, the worry vanishing from his face.

With Nina focused on Orion, Nash walked over to where their daughter lay, scooping her up from her cradle. He
gently cradled her, softly patting her side.
When Gemma was first born, he
hadn't known how she preferred to
be held, which had led to a few accidental wake-ups. But with
enough practice, he had becnet
adept at it, holding her just right.

Lost in her dreams, she let out a tiny spit bubble, which brought a chuckle to Nash's face.
"Letsee Gemma too!" Orion gently slipped out of Nina's arms and tiptoed over to Nash, carefully adjusting
his voice to a whisper. "Dad, can | hold her too?"
"Of course. Just be careful," Nash replied, lowering Gemma into Orion's arms while keeping his hands nearby for
support.
Orion might be young, but he had a
knack for handling his sister. The two were already close, with Gemma always seeming especially at peace
around him. Orion admired her for a moment before handing her back to
Nash.
"I can't wait until she's older," Orion whispered with a grin. "Then I'll get to share my fried chicken with her!"
