Taylor's righteous indignation prompted Nina to chuckle. "Why does it seem like, in your eyes, Mr. York and I are in a romantic relationship?"
Taylor couldn't determine if it was her own misperception, but she sensed the delicacy of their relationship..
"Mr. York does care a great deal about you," Taylor reflected for a moment. "Maybe you both don't realize it, but observers see it clearly. We can't let Miranda interfere and ruin your relationship."
In Taylor's view, Nina and Nash were the perfect
match.
"You little rascal, don't take sides recklessly," Nina tapped Taylor's head gently. "Between Mr. York. and me, everything is innocent. Don't listen to gossip from others. It's none of my concern whom Mr. York wants to be with. Let's refrain from spreading such talk; it will only fuel baseless.

such underhanded tactics. It was those rumor- mongers who were a bit envious and narrow-minded.
Nina didn't care if the reports were false but she couldn't show it. She also noticed that Nash had become more distant from her. He rarely spoke to her, whether about work or personal matters, and sometimes even ignored her deliberately.
He no longer came home with her. Lately, he had been sleeping in the study and hadn't set foot in the bedroom at all. Perhaps he, too, had seen the reports and realized he needed to acknowledge. Miranda, purposely keeping his distance from her. Nina didn't say anything, but she felt disheartened.
"This shameless woman!" Yvonne, aware of Miranda's actions, deliberately called Nina out for tea. As soon as she arrived, she launched into a tirade against Miranda.
Nina noticed Yvonne downing a cup of tea in one go
and asked, "Who got you so worked up?"
"Are you even asking me? Haven't you seen the reports? She's shamelessly publicizing her relationship with Nash in the media. You two. haven't even divorced yet, and she's already pulling this stunt. I really feel like grabbing a megaphone. and shouting out that Miranda is just a shameless. third party!"
Nina held her teacup and gave it a slight shake. "So, you came to me because of this?"

"What else could get me this angry?" Yvonne finished lambasting Miranda and shifted her focus. to Nash. "And Nash too! If he likes this third party so much, he should hurry up and marry her. What's the point of stringing you along and not letting her go? Playing both sides, it's driving me crazy!"
Yvonne was also genuinely concerned for her, fearing she would get hurt in this marriage, even though she already had been.
When she got married, Yvonne had offered her blessings, thinking she would have a good life after marrying into a wealthy family. But even without her saying it, Yvonne could tell that Nash didn't take her seriously. Over time, Yvonne grew resentful toward Nash.
Nina didn't want Yvonne to exhaust herself over her affairs, so she said, "Yvonne, I know you care about me and mean well, but from now on, just turn a blind eye to Miranda's affairs. Don't pay any more, attention to it, so you won't end up upset."
"Are you blaming me for meddling?" Yvonne became even more upset upon hearing this. "Nina, we've been friends for so many years. How could I not worry about you? Initially, I was genuinely happy for you marrying into a wealthy family. But after seeing you by Nash's side for so many years, and knowing how much you like him, I thought you finally got what you wanted. Even if you didn't say it, I could see you weren't happy! You're being drained by him. What's wrong with me saying a few words?"

Yvonne was straightforward, willing to go to great lengths for her friend, but sometimes, in doing so, she felt quite suffocated.
