It was already three in the afternoon when they left the cemetery.
Jasper went back to acting as Harrison’s driver and bodyguard as he
and Lauren sat in the back seat.
Melody bought a Porsche 911 when Nash was in the hospital.
Inspired by her, Finn also got a Mercedes-Benz G-ss at a
discounted price.
Harrison leaned out of the car window. “Hera, your mom and I will head to thepany first. You stay
with Nash these next few days.” Without waiting for Hera’s response, Jasper drove away.
Hera linked her arm with Nash’s. Together, they made their way to Melody’s car. She opened the car
door courteously and weed
him inside.
Nash lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. “Let’s take a walk,” he

suggested.
Hera hesitated for a moment but then nodded. It had been a long
time since they had taken a walk together. Nash’s initiative was not
something she would refuse.
Melody asked, “Should I go back first?”
Nash took another drag of his cigarette and smiled. “If you don’t mind
witnessing some affection, you can join us for a walk. Or you can go
ahead with your own matters. We’ll call Finn to pick us up-when we’re
tired.”
With the matter of the ghoul overlord resolved, Nash felt rxed.

Although Peter and Duncan were still hiding on ck Wind
Mountains, the threat they posed was much smallerpared to the ghoul overlord.
Melody rolled her eyes at Nash. “If you get tired, just call Finn. I have
an appointment with a real estate agent to view some properties this
afternoon!”
Hera widened her eyes in surprise. “Are you buying a house, Melody?”
Melody settled into the driver’s seat and started the car. She grinned
and showed her teeth as she replied, “I’ve grown tired of hotels. I want
to feel thefort of a home!” With that, she stepped on the elerator and swiftly drove away.
Finn maneuvered his G-ss in front of Nash and Hera. “I’ll take Ken
around. Just send me your location when you’re tired.”
Ken muttered quietly, “Don’t you have a date with Yasmin?”
“I scheduled it for tonight. Isn’t it still early now? Mr. Nash is more important. I know what takes
precedence.”
Finn gave Ken a stern look. Everything he had now was tha man. Nash was, in a sense, his boss, his
leader, and som had given him opportunities. He would always prioritize him.

After watching Finn’s car drive off into the distance, Nash-held Hera’s hand. They strolled along the

Hera asionally nced at Nash’s profile. She could forget about

the troubles at thepany and let go of all distractions whenever
she walked with him. Even if they did not talk and just walked silently, being together felt incredibly
peaceful to her.
Nash noticed Hera’s gaze and turned to look at her with a smile. “Is there something on my face?” he
asked.
“Yes…” Hera replied earnestly.
Nash took out his phone from his pocket, opened the front camera,
and nced at it. “There’s nothing there!” he eximed.
Hera cupped Nash’s face in her hands and rubbed it gently. “How can
there be nothing? You have the word ‘handsome’ written all over your
face!”
Nash chuckled knowingly. “Well, there’s nothing I can do about that. I
was born with it, so I can’t wash it away.”
Hera cut in, “Do you have to be so narcissistic?”
“It’s called confidence, you know. How else was I supposed to get you
to fall for me at first sight?”
