"You''re too kind. It''s an honor for me to give back to my hometown, especially to my alma mater," Scott replied.


    Wace was very pleased. His students had achieved sess, bringing glory to their alma mater.


    Since starting work, Nina hadn''t visited the school much. Encountering them now, it wasn''t easy to leave, so she could only listen quietly.


    Nina admired Scott''s donation of ten million to the school. Despite furthering his studies abroad, he hadn''t forgotten his roots. If it were someone else who had seeded elsewhere, they might not havee back.


    "Nina, I heard you''re now working at York Corporation," Wace suddenly turned his gaze to Nina.


    Nina was taken aback.


    Wace asked with concern, "Are you doing okay?"


    Nina was surprised. "You know about that, Mr. Wace?"


    With so many students, it was impossible for him to remember what each one was doing.


    Wace exined, "I''ve met Mr. York a few times. He mentioned you, so I knew you''ve been at York Corporation, although I haven''t seen you there."


    Nina had been with Nash for a long time and didn''t know he had any connection to Wace. Maybe it''s just a coincidence. I happened to not be around him."


    After a brief conversation with Nina, Wace turned his attention back to Scott. "Scott, there''s an eventing up in a few days. Would you be willing to give a speech?"


    Later, Scott paused and waited for Nina. Once he reached her side, he asked gently, "Are you feeling tired from all the walking?"


    Nina nodded. "Yeah, I''ve been walking for quite a while."


    "Let''s take a break here for a bit. Mr. Wace is treating us to a mealter. After the meal, I''ll take vo


    you home," Scott suggested as he led her to a bench.


    He wiped the seat with his hand, making sure it was free of dust before gesturing for her to sit down.


    "Sounds good," Nina said, looking up at Scott. "You came here today on purpose, didn''t you?"


    "Yeah," Scott replied. "But meeting you has made the visit even better.”


    Nina gazed at him, noticing a brighter outlook in his eyes. Perhaps it was because of his positive demeanor and eloquent speech. He left asting impression on her and being around him always seemed to lift her spirits, even if she wasn''t feeling happy before.


    "I''m d to meet you too," Nina replied politely.


    Scott''s confidence grew, and a slight smile formed on his lips. "Really? I was afraid I might be bothering you."


    "No u


    o way! I don''t feel that at all. Seeing you always lifts my spirits," Nina assured him.


    "Good to know," Scott picked up on the implication in her words. "Are you feeling down? Did something happen recently, or did your mood change when you came here?"


    Nina paused for a moment. “Both, I


    guess." But she still doubted and asked, remember you just


    mentioned that I might not likeing here. Did you already know about my kidnapping?" Content


    Scott''s gaze became even deeper, his worried eyes fixed on Nina as he responded softly, "I knew. How could I not know about such a big event?"


    "But you were already in Estnd at the time," Nina would have thought that once he went to Estnd, he wouldn''t know anything about what happened here.


    But then she thought, “I see. It must


    have been Mr. Wace who told you. It makes sense. This was the biggest incident that happened at Bright Middle School. It''s impossible not to tell you. about it." Content


    "I only found out about it the second year after your ident," Scott spoke up after she finished speaking.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Nina turned to look at him again, unsure if it was her imagination, but there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his eyes.
