Chapter 789 "Really?" Nina was a bit surprised.
Nash glanced at her, his tone calm. "Your clothes are dirty. You probably need a shower." Nina looked down at herself. At home, she used to shower every day.

She hadn't expected Nash to be so considerate.
She couldn't help but sniff herself. "Do I smell?" "No." Nash's deep eyes locked onto hers. "I just know you like to stay clean." His words left Nina momentarily dazed.

Nina bit her lip, shifting her gaze to avoid the unclear and complicated feelings between them. "Alright." Nina nodded and said, "I'll go back now." "Okay." Nina turned to leave. Nash watched her until she disappeared from sight before turning around, only to find James lurking in the corner.
Nash's expression turned serious as he barked, "What are you doing there!" James had just arrived and noticed Nash speaking closely with a woman, only catching a glimpse of her back.

Nash's expression darkened at his words. He kicked James, barking, "Nonsense!" James quickly hugged his leg, wincing from the pain. Despite knowing that honest advice was hard to hear, he couldn't help but speak up.
"But from what he said, he should be able to tell the difference, right?" James muttered to himself.
Seeing Nash walk away without wanting to discuss it further, James glanced between Nash and the direction the woman had gone. "What on earth is going on here?" he wondered aloud, thoroughly confused.
