"We're leaving," Nina said.
"Alright, hope to see you again next time," the director replied.
Before leaving, Nash looked at the group of children and did not forget to ask, "What should you call us?" "Nash and Nina!" the children chorused in unison, very polite.

Nina's gaze turned to Nash. She could see that the children's response pleased him, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. York and Miss Walker, may you be happy together forever!" the children said in unison again.
Nina was taken aback. "What do you mean?" "Just now, Mr. York mentioned that you're his wife, so we have to address you correctly. If it's not Nash and Nina, then it's Mr. York and Miss Walker. We can't have one addressed as Mr. York and the other as Nina," the children explained to Nina.
Nina was left speechless. At first, she did not understand what Nash was concerned about. So that was it. But how could he casually tell everyone she was his wife? Before she could say anything, the director smiled and said to her, "Miss Walker, I didn't expect you to be so young and already married. With Mr. York supporting your career like this, I believe you'll be happy for the rest of your life." "I..." Nina wanted to explain that they were no longer a couple, but the director continued, "I've never seen someone like Mr. York, who supports his wife's career so much. Just because of your interview, he prepared so much. He even toldthat in the future, if you need anything, he will help in any way he can. It's a privilege to know you, Miss Walker." The director did not know how to thank Nina. She had said many beautiful words before, all sincere, but she truly felt she could not repay her enough.
"I don't know how to repay you, but I sincerely wish you and Mr. York a lifetof happiness!" The director genuinely hoped they would be happy together forever.
Seeing how pleased the director was and how she expressed her gratitude, Nina could not bring herself to say anything more. She could only smile faintly.
They continued walking. Nina did not quite understand and asked, "Why did you tell them I'm your wife?" Nash rolled down his sleeves, feeling relieved all of a sudden. "I was telling the truth." "How is that the truth?" Nina was skeptical. "I remember leaving the divorce agreement on the table. As far as I'm concerned, we are divorced." Nash looked at Nina. "Are you disregarding the law?" "What's the point when our hearts have already drifted apart?" Nina reiterated.

Nina had nothing more to say to him.
She emphasized, "Whether you want to divorce or not, as far as I'mconcerned, we're already divorced Even if we haven't obtained the divorce certificate, two years of separation will be enough to prove that ours is a loveless marriage, so it's still feasible to divorce. I hope you won't be so persistent anymore!"
She wanted Nash to understand that their loveless marriage should end. There was no point in forcing it anymore. She was no longer the submissive and self-sacrificing Nina. Nash remained silent, seemingly reluctant to continue discussing the matter with her.
Seeing this, Nina's mood soured, and she did not want to ride with him in the scar anymore. She said coldly, "Stop the car!"
Once again, Nash did not respond, and the driver did not stop either it was as if they were treating her as if she were invisible. Nina repeated, "I said stop the car. Can you hear me?"
