Nina could not help but wonder why she had never heard him bring it up before. Maybe because there was always an unspoken agreement between Nash and Nina not to pry too much into each other's business. It was just a matter of mutual respect. Besides, he probably could not fully disclose everything. She quickly averted her gaze.
Out of the blue, someone chimed in to ease the tension, saying, "Mr. George, we get where you're coming from. We're not here to gossip. It's just that the truth is evident. Even Vice Commander Frank is also feeling indignant on your behalf. After all, you're our elder, and you haven't been in the know for long, right? Honestly, it looks like Nash doesn't have much respect for you."
Nina felt like these folks were really going after Nash. She looked at Nash again, noticing his silence. Knowing him, he typically would not tolerate such gossip in his presence. It seemed like he was likely concerned about Grandpa George's dignity, especially since these were also his close associates.
"Nash, it's not surprising that we'd think that way. We've been through thick and thin together. You keep everything so low-key, even something as big as getting married, and you didn't inform us. Are you really that reluctant to marry?" Frank smirked, relentless in his teasing, even at a birthday banquet.
Although Nina did not understand why they were targeting Nash, it seemed like he had become a thorn in their side. She seemed to understand why Nash had not actively interacted with Grandpa George before. Even if Nash had been close to Grandpa George, he probably avoided it because of these people.
Facing them, Nina glared at Nash, instinctively holding his hand, and calmly said, "That's not true, everyone's got it wrong. Nash respects me and complies with my wishes to keep things private. I work for his company and want to make achievements based on my own abilities. Just like Grandpa George said, we, as a couple, prefer to keep a low profile."
As she spoke, she unintentionally drew Nash's gaze back to her. He stared at her deeply, seemingly surprised that she was defending him. Their attention shifted to Nina.
"Where do you find wives who don't need acknowledgment of her status? If you're ever wronged, you can tell us, we won't let him off easy!" Frank said, as if he could see right through them.
