You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 174 Choose To Believe Her

Nina's heart skipped a beat.

As she had expected, John was worried about her true identity.

There was silence and the breathing of them could be heard faintly.

The bright light was dazzling at this moment. Nina lowered her eyes and pursed her lips without saying anything.

Without looking at Nina, John kept staring at the night outside the window. The moon in the sky hid into the clouds.

It was getting darker.

In the dark night, he never knew whether the person standing beside wanted to be with him sincerely or waited for an opportunity to do something harmful to him.

When he couldn't see anything, the sensory stimulation would become obvious. John could feel a strong hug and the fragrance was lingering at the tip of his nose. A sincere voice sounded in his ears.

Nina hugged him from behind.

"I love you. No matter I'm good or bad, I won't do anything harmful to you."

"As for my identity, I didn't mean to hide it. I have my own difficulties."

It was not that she didn't believe in John, but that she didn't dare to let one more person know her true identity. She would be more dangerous with more people knowing her identity.

If her parents knew that she had married John, they would definitely order them to divorce, because they had said that the princess of CM Island could only marry a real aristocrat, but not a businessman.

For example, the Nangong family, the most famous and the most noble family in CM Island.

Specifically, a real aristocrat should be reputable, politically powerful and from an illustrious family.

John was from an illustrious family.

He was a businessman, without much political power.

He was well-known. Everyone was afraid of him. He didn't have a good reputation.

He was not reputable.

If he knew that the royal family of CM Island didn't like him, he would be humiliated.

"Trust me. If I were really a bad guy, I wouldn't have stayed with you. If you know I'm a bad guy, you won't let me go and must cut my hands and legs as punishment. I cherish my life and won't do such things." Nina almost raised her hand to swear. She was anxious and a little nifty.

Hearing this, John suddenly smiled.

Sometimes explanation was a cover, but sometimes explanation meant that she cared about him.

He knew that Nina cared about him.

However, it was unforgivable that she had been hiding her identity.

"I'm going to take a shower." He deliberately did not reply and his voice was emotionless, as a sign of minor punishment.

Nina reluctantly loosened her hands and pouted, "Okay."

She watched as John entered the bathroom and then there was the sound of shower.

Lying on the bed, Nina stared at the bare ceiling and kept sighing.

What did John mean?

Did he believe her or not?

It was easy for her to guess other people's thoughts. However, it was really difficult for her to think about John's thoughts.

She didn't know much about John, so she could only turn to the people who knew him a lot.

Nina picked up her phone and asked James in WeChat, "Do you know your uncle well?"

James seemed to have nothing to do and was always free. He replied immediately, "Yes, absolutely. What do you want to know? I promise I will tell you everything I know, but..."

"Aunt Nina, I have little money recently. Would you like to..."

Nina replied, "One hundred thousand."

"Okay, you can ask me whatever you want to know."

Nina became interested at once. She sat cross-legged on the bed and quickly described what happened just now, but didn't tell him things about her identity deliberately.

"I've told him everything sincerely. He just said he wanted to take a shower and didn't reply. In my opinion, he didn't seem to be angry. Do you think he believes me or not?"

"Of course! Uncle John must believe you. He has always cared about his face and won't tell you his inner thoughts directly. Calmly changing the topic means that he believes you."

James said, "Aunt Nina, trust me. I can guarantee it. I'm a reliable man."

Nina was speechless. 'Reliable? He was a reliable man?'

"I swear that Uncle John trusts you. If you don't believe me, I'll tell you how to prove it. You can have a try later and it will definitely work."

Nina thought for a while and said, "Tell me."

With a sinister expression on his face, he said, "Aunt Nina, I'm a little short of money." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Nina answered, "One hundred thousand."

James said, "Okay, two hundred thousand in total. Deal. You can pretend to be asleep and ask him in your sleep. He will definitely answer honestly. Since he thinks that you are asleep and won't hear what he says, he won't feel ashamed. I know him very well. It absolutely works."

Nina thought for a while and thought it made sense.

James began to ask Nina for the money. Nina said calmly, "I've given you two hundred thousand when I took the taxi last time."

James was stunned. '"What?" 'Are you kidding me?'

James sent a lot of messages, trying to ask Nina for more money, but got no reply. Nina's phone had been turned off.

The best way to deal with James was to turn a blind eye to him.

This was the method Nina had learned from John.

Half an hour later.

When John came out from the bathroom in his bathrobe, he saw Nina was asleep with her back to him.

The reason why she turned her back to him was that she was afraid that he would find out that she was pretending to be asleep.

With her eyes closed, Nina pulled the quilt with her hands and pricked up her ears to listen to the sound.

There were light footsteps and good smell of shampoo.

The quilt was suddenly lifted up a little and a gentle body got close into the quilt. He stretched out his arm, raised her head and slowly put her head on his arm.

He was so gentle that even Nina, who was still awake, could not feel any movement, but felt the gentleness.

Yes, it was gentleness.

This feeling was not strange. It seemed that he had been gentle to her many times, but she didn't take it seriously.

"Hmm..." Nina moved her body and snorted. She turned over and buried her head into John's arms to avoid being found that she was pretending to be asleep.

She put her arm on John's chest by accident and there were water drops on it. It was a little wet, not as hot as before, but a little cold.

He took a cold shower.

John turned off the light.

The room was dark.

John slowly closed his eyes.

Fearing that he would fall asleep and that she would be unable to carry out her plan, she quietly opened her eyes.

Then she closed her eyes and whispered, "John..."

John suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head and stared at Nina in the darkness.

Nina chuckled in her heart. She moved her body a little and continued to talk in her sleep, "Believe me. John, believe me."

She said in a soft and aggrieved tone.

Nina was amenable to friendly persuasion but not to compulsion, while John was immune to both soft and hard tactics. However, when it came to Nina, both soft and hard tactics worked on John.

From the bottom of his heart, he couldn't bear to see her being wronged. Listening to her soft voice, he raised his arm, touched her cheek with his palm, turned his body and said, "I believe you."

A gentle kiss fell on her hair. His eyes were gentle, but Nina could not see them.

Hearing that he believed her, she could feel his tenderness.

Nina's head rubbed into John's arms again, smiling at ease. She couldn't help but scratch his chest.

Listening to her breath carefully, he could not help but slightly shake his head.

This little liar.

She was really an accident in his life.

She appeared in his life unexpectedly and he loved her unexpectedly.

Even though he didn't know her identity, but still chose to believe her and stay with her.
