You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 139 The Marriage License

Nina was stunned. She looked around to see where the voice was coming from. Only two people would have called her Aunt Nina and since James was outside, it had to be Haley.

"Aunt Nina, lower your head," Chester said.

Nina looked down to see a boy standing in front of her. The boy was wearing a dashing suit and looked eerily similar to John. He even had a similar cold aura.

"Are you calling me?" Nina looked into Chester's black eyes and bent down. She guessed that this boy must be from John's family somehow.

Whenever she had to deal with John's family, Nina always adopted a more amiable approach.

When he saw the smile on Nina's face, Chester blushed. No wonder John liked Nina. She looked so regal when she was being serious and she transformed into a goddess when she smiled.

He couldn't help being admiring her and he could only imagine what John felt.

"Aunt Nina, my sister is a little cold. Can you give her your coat?" With an eager sincerity in his black eyes, Chester pointed at a girl in the crowd that was dressed in lavender.

Nina looked in that direction and noticed that the girl's dress was part of the same series as hers.

The girl's back was exposed so it was obvious that she would be a little cold.

"Take it." Nina took off her coat and handed it to Chester with a smile. She also lightly ruffled his head while passing it over. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nina had a sudden flash in her mind and she felt as if she was touching John's head. She forcibly chuckled in an attempt to play off her vision. It felt surprisingly satisfying to rub his head and treat

this child so lovingly.

She now understood why John always stroked her head.

"Thank you, Aunt Nina. Don't move. Uncle John will come find you soon." With a red face, Chester shyly turned his head. No one touched his head except his uncle John.

The words "Don't move" made Nina's heart thump. John said the exact same thing to her!

Chester held the coat and walked towards Dora, handing it to her. "Dora, you're cold."

"What? I'm not cold." Dora took the coat with confusion. "Where did you find this coat? Is it Uncle John's?"

"This is her coat." Chester turned around and looked at Nina. His face quickly turned a bright red again. Nina was just too beautiful for words.

Dora looked over casually, only to see the woman she hero-worshipped. Nina stood like a graceful princess in the center of the room.

She had slightly curly hair and a beautiful face without so much as a stitch of makeup. Her neck was fair and it was attached to a pair of beautifully smooth shoulders. There was a small mole on her charmingly sharp collarbone, which only added to her allure.

Her silky dress was quite simply designed which complimented her elegant exterior.

"It's you!" With a scream, Dora trotted over and looked Nina up and down. She sighed, "Are you even a human? You are so beautiful!"

With a confused look on her face, Nina said affirmatively, "Yes, I'm a human." She was aware of her beauty but she was obviously still human.

She looked at Dora and she reminded her of James. She asked in confusion, "James' family?"

"Yeah, yeah, you must be smart as well since you figured that out so quickly."

"Your family must have good strong genes. You two look like each other, and you are both good- looking." Nina couldn't help but sigh. How was it possible that nobody from the Shi family was ugly?

At least all of them being beautiful was better than them all being ugly. Just thinking about how handsome John was and how Chester was already a good-looking boy, just confirmed this.

"By the way, do you know where John Shi is?" Nina had no idea where he was. She hadn't seen him at all.

At this moment John was marching towards the banquet hall.

"What? What did you call Uncle John?" Dora took a deep breath and looked at Nina in disbelief.

Nina was used to this kind of situation. She calmly said, "Do you know where John Shi is?"

"Uncle...Uncle John..." Dora was mortified. In all her eighteen years she had never known a single person to use John's full name. The only time she heard anyone address him with his full name was when Jessica got angry with him.

Dora naturally always had attention on her and with her exclamations, it only attracted more eyes on them. The music had just stopped so the entire banquet hall was staring at Nina.

"Who is she?"

"She is so beautiful!" Many girls sighed and enviously looked at Nina.

Vivian turned around and saw Nina standing there in a purple wispy dress. She frowned and felt a wave of nervousness come crashing over her body.

Why was Nina wearing this dress? Their dresses were from the same series.

Nina's elegant dress was simple but far more stunning than Vivian's. Even though Vivian didn't want to admit it, it was true.

It wasn't just apparent to them, it seemed to be common knowledge. Someone from the crowd said, "She's wearing a dress from the unreleased FG range. Vivian and Dora are wearing ones form that collection as well."

Vivian was elegant in her dress and Dora was beautiful in her one.

Nina commanded all the attention though in her noble look. She stood in her strapless dress, looking dignified as ever.

Her eyes were full of confidence and poise.

Nina was outrageously more beautiful than Vivian. They weren't even comparable.

They were just so different.

"Jessica..." Vivian looked at Jessica and called her softly. There was a little grief in her eyes.

She couldn't deal with Nina by herself as she always pretended to be a kind-hearted girl. She had no choice but to ask Jessica for help.

The smile on Jessica's face disappeared as she frowned. She knew that John had brought Nina to the Ye family villa, but she had never thought that she would wear a dress from FG. Not only did she do that, she seemed to do it to intentionally steal the limelight.

Vivian was destined to be her sister-in-law, and there was no two ways about it. She had to find a way to get rid of Nina.

"Nina, what are you doing here?" Jessica growled, huffing towards Nina.

"I'm looking for John. Since he isn't here, I'll just go outside." Nina turned around to a chorus of gasps. She didn't expect such a reaction from just saying John's name.

Jessica wanted to get rid of her so she didn't cause any trouble, not expecting that she'd mention John in front of everyone. Jessica's temper rose instantly. "Nina, I didn't expect you to be so persistent that you'd come to the Ye family villa.

Let me give you some advice, you're kidding yourself. You're not good enough for my brother at all. If we're being honest, Vivi is the only person to be a match for him. Who do you think you are?"

It happened again!

Nina felt so annoyed. Jessica could praise Vivian all she wanted but she shouldn't be slandering Nina.

"Really? How good a match are they? A perfect match? A top match? A match made in heaven?" Nina asked indifferently. But deep inside, she was jealous.

Before Jessica could speak, there was a deep and powerful bellow from the door. "I already have my wife."

John walked towards Nina. His steely cold face was more handsome than usual. The man was like an emperor, pulling everyone's attention.

"Your wife?" Nina looked at him in confusion. He was married?

Everyone else was as equally befuddled. They began to gossip in hushed whispers.

"John, what are you talking about?" Jessica intervened quickly as if she was disappointed in his behavior.

"I have a wife," John reaffirmed, taking a copy of his marriage license out of his pocket.

Perhaps he just wanted everyone to know that Nina was his wife, so he was eager to show everyone the copy.

While he was pulling the copy out,

the licenses slipped all the way out of his pocket.

They fell to the floor with a crisp crack. The contents of one of them were revealed.
