PopularNovelJames realized how foolish he had been.
Seeing Nina's presence and still doubting if she would cmade James feel foolish. He thought she was just a stand-in. It definitely didn't make him look very smart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Of course, I knew," James said. "But I didn't have the chance to see you. By the way, where's Scarlett? Didn't she cwith you?" Nina's face fell at the mention of Scarlett. "We got separated. I don't know where she is now. I need to find her." James paused, then reassured her, "We'll find her eventually. With her experience, she should be alright." Nina wasn't sure if Scarlett was dead or alive, or if she had managed to escape. Ultimately, she needed to find a way to infiltrate the Pharaoh's territory.
Behind them, Chana noticed their close conversation and the way Nash looked at Nina. Seeing Nina's fair skin and features, she quickly deduced that this was the woman James had mentioned.
Previously, Chana was the only woman among them. Despite being in the village, Nina's presence disrupted the calm and made Chana feel threatened.
Chana wanted to get their attention and not be forgotten. She thought for a moment, then looked at her child. "Wah-" Suddenly, the sound of a child crying echoed.
It immediately caught everyone's attention.
"Chacha, what's wrong?" Chana asked worriedly. "Putdown, I need to check on my child." The soldier quickly set her down. She hobbled over and cradled the crying child, trying to soothe him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Chana, why is he crying?" James asked. "Did he get hurt when you fell?" "I don't know," Chana replied, her eyes red. She looked at Nash and said, "Captain York, could you hold Chacha? He always listens to you." "Maybe if you hold him, he'll stop crying." Nina was taken aback. She looked at Chana, then at the child, sensing an unusual dependency on Nash. She understood a woman losing her loved ones in war, but something felt off "I'm on duty," Nash said coldly. "You're his mother. If you can't calm him down, who can?" Arin chimed in, "Yeah, you're his mother. If you can't soothe your child, how can you expect Captain York to? He's a soldier, not a babysitter." Arin chimed in, "Exactly, you're his mother. If you can't calm your child, how can you expect Captain York to? He's a soldier, not a babysitter. You're asking too much." Chana quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I just thought Captain York could cheer him up. Chacha likes him the most!"
"I'll take him," an older woman said. "I raised my grandchildren, so I'm great with kids, Let's not trouble. Captain York. The older woman put down her basket and took Chacha from Chana.
Chana had hoped Nash would react like he did the first time, gently comforting the child she believed ve that fate had brought another man to herside after Chacha lost his father.
But now, with a rival in the picture, her plan backfired.
Seeing Nash unfazed, Chana decided to introduce herself. "I don't think think we've met. Judging by your looks, уби must be from the splace as Captain York." "Yes," Nina replied politely. Chana smiled warmly, "Hello, I'm Chana. Captain York probably didn't mention me. They rescuedalong the way and have kindly letstay with the group." X
