NovelEnglishUnexpectedly, just as they entered the foyer, they saw Nash's mother, Sally, sitting on the sofa with a dark expression.
"You all stir up public opinion, and yet you seem quite carefree yourself." At the Harris Corporation's banquet, Nash had defended Nina, and the incident was still trending.

In the villa, the helpers knew their duties well. Since Nina had not gone to the kitchen herself, the helper would prepare breakfast when it was time.
However, Sally did not even look at Nina, "Nash, I'm talking to you!" Nash responded calmly, "The fact that Nina and I are married will cout sooner or later. Besides, everyone talks." So many people, so many mouths. He did not see the need to bother.
Sally's chest heaved visibly. She suppressed her anger, "I heard your little aunt invited you to a masquerade?" Nash's tone remained unchanged, "Is there a problem?" Sally said, "Attend fewer of those useless parties. Your father will be back soon, don't make him angry." "Anything else?" Nash's reaction to Sally's words showed little emotional fluctuation.
To Nina, this seemed like his usual attitude of indifference to everything. However, this had always been their way of interacting. She never had a say in these matters, and she was not about to start now.
Sally still restrained her anger, "Recently, Miranda broughta gift, and now she's in the hospital. I caught a bit of a cold, so take this package of health supplements to Miranda." Nina stood by, her heart aching. Her mother-in-law was now asking her husband to deliver health supplements to another woman. It was as if she did not exist! Yet she had no right to speak up.
Nash spoke blandly, "If it's inconvenient for you, you could have a helper make the trip." Sally immediately becagitated, "When she visited me, it was with genuine concern. Now that it's her turn to be in the hospital, should simply just send a helper over? After all, Lam of a certain age. Surely, I understand basic social decency, don't I?" Suddenly, Sally turned to Nina, "Since you're busy, let Nina deliver it." Nina could not refuse. Just as she was about to respond, Nash interjected: "Nina is not your errand runner." Sally had not expected Nash to defend Nina but she did not care "You and Nina are husband and wife, you are my son, so whoever goes represents me. What's the problem with that? "Or are you saying that my words carry no weight now?" Sally's tone grew colder as she spoke.

Nina did not want an argument to break out between mother and son, she quickly said, "I have time, Mom. Just givethe health supplements, and I'll deliver it." Sally gave Nina a meaningful look,
and Nina's gaze followed to the coffee table, where she spotted a package of health supplements. It was from a reputable brand and quite expensive. Sally had a particularly good relationship with Miranda.
Nash went upstairs to change, and Sally acted as if Nina did not exist! Nina dign Nina quickly ate a few bites of breakfast and then left the villa. When Nash cdownstairs, he did not see Nina and his gaze swept towards Sally. "Don't treat Nina like a helper." Sally was displeased with Nash's words, "Then what should I consider her? A daughter-in-law? Have you ever acknowledged her as such?" Nash had never once called her "Mom." In Nash's eyes, Nina naturally was not her daughter-in-law!
