You Are The Apple of My Eyes -
Chapter 367 Something Is Wrong
Nina stood at the door in a daze. The scene of John and a woman sleeping together in the bed was now seared into her memory. Her throat was so tight that she could not breathe. In their own bedroom, her husband was lying with another woman.
Nina wanted to rush in and hit them. Thankfully, her rational brain, which had served her all these years, stopped her from doing so and reminded her that she should never act like a shrew. Sometimes, things weren't what they seemed.
Nina comforted herself inwardly. Her fingers slowly clenching into fists, she stared at the scene for a long time without saying anything
"Mrs. Shi, are you okay?" The one who screamed just now was a young waitress. She took off her high heels and got up from the floor. "Nothing." Nina shook her head.
She gritted her teeth and whirled around to leave.
Every step she took was like a knife cutting her foot.
Then, she suddenly stopped, her fists clenched tightly. She turned around and looked at the door. Her eyes were as dark as an abyss, and her anger churned hotly inside her stomach. Why was she leaving?
Why should she leave?
Nina whirled around and stomped back. She was the picture of aggressiveness-her fists were clenched so hard that the waitress kept standing against the wall in fright, afraid of being hurt. "Nini?" Noah was quite sensitive. He rushed up from the fire exit as soon as he heard a scream.
He was worried that something might have happened to Nina.
When he saw Nina standing in the corridor, he let out a sigh of relief. However, he could instantly tell that something was wrong with her. Her face looked a little scary. Hearing someone calling her name, Nina froze.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Noah rushed over to her side. He placed his hands on her shoulders and saw the anger in her slightly bloodshot eyes.
Nina gritted her teeth tightly. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would end up beating someone instead of speaking.
Anxious, Noah asked again, "What happened?"
The waitress pointed at the open door and said, "Mr. Shi is with a woman."
Noah already understood what she meant.
"No way," he retorted. "He is a calm and restrained man. He would never do such a thing. He must have been framed."
"Calm? Restrained?" Nina's voice was shaking with effort. She couldn't help but remember the first time she had met John. If he really were a calm and restrained person, they wouldn't have had sex back then
Wait!
"Framed?" When they had sex for the first time, it was also a set-up.
Nina hesitated for a moment, and she no longer felt as agitated as before.
After a slight pause, Noah said sincerely, "All of us know that John loves you very much. Apart from you, he hasn't paid attention to any other woman. They didn't have a chance to get close to him.
Let's keep calm first. Let's go to the scene to see what's going on before making the right decision. Don't be too swayed by emotions." Noah had always been calm and composed, and he was hoping that Nina would be the same. He didn't want her to be easily fooled by appearances.
Nina's expression softened. Biting her lips, she nodded. "Okay."
"Let's check out the scene first." Noah let go of her, and the two of them walked into the room.
Nina halted by the door and took a deep, steadying breath as Noah looked on encouragingly. She didn't step in until her rationality gained the upper hand.
The two of them didn't tiptoe around on purpose. John and the other woman should have woken up when they heard the sound of their footsteps, but they didn't.
John was still sleeping soundly. When Vivian heard them come in, her eyelashes twitched, and she continued to pretend not to hear anything.
Vivian felt that someone glaring at her, which made her shiver and almost want to open her eyes.
However, if she opened her eyes just now, it would cause suspicion.
So if John didn't wake up, then she couldn't wake up, either.
That burning gaze was from Nina. Her back ramrod straight, she stood by the bed and stared at the faces of its occupants.
"Noah, it's Vivian." Nina was not at all surprised to find out that the woman lying in the bed was Vivian.
After all, wasn't the only woman who could approach John?
"Wake up!" Nina hit Vivian's face with great strength, and the sound of slaps resounded within the room.
Vivian's hands under the quilt tightened. She withstood the pain and did not dare hint that she was already awake.
"There is something fishy about all this." Noah walked over to the bed. He averted his eyes to save himself from seeing the two people under the quilt. "There isn't any whiff or a trace of them having sex in the room." Noah closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Only the faint aroma of jasmine."
When Nina smelled it, she also noticed something strange.
The clothes on the floor, which belonged to Vivian, were neatly arranged and undamaged. This was not John's style.
Nina knew that the two of them might have been set up and hadn't even had sex, but it didn't matter. When she saw John with another woman, her face would blanch, and the anger in her eyes would burn hotter.
She turned around and saw the fish tank on the table. She walked over to pick it up, returned to the bedside, and splashed it mercilessly on the faces of the two people in the bed.
"Ah!" With a scream, Vivian covered her body with the quilt and sat up. She opened her mouth to gasp for breath as water continued to sluice down from her head. A goldfish flopped on top of her head and then fell to the floor.
Vivian had never expected that Nina would wake her up in this way. She was stunned and cried out in panic.
"Ah!"
Vivian wrapped herself in the quilt and shrank in the corner. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at them. She could only glance at John.
'Why hasn't he woken up yet?'
John finally stirred from his deep slumber. Unaware of what had happened, he sat up with a frown on his face, wiping away the water stains from his face. "Honey? What's going on?" John looked at the empty fish tank in Nina's hands in confusion.
Then, he spied Noah standing with his back to them, and his eyes became cold.
Nina snorted, "You should see who's in the bed first."
His frown deepening, John turned and saw Vivian shivering against the headboard.
John rolled out of bed and stared at the woman in growing horror. "Why is she here?" "How do I know?" Nina took a step to the side and kept her distance from John.
He smelled of another woman's perfume,
and she hated it.
"I...I don't know what happened. I...I don't know..." Vivian buried her head in her knees and began to sob, like she was being raped.
"Fuck off!" John growled at Vivian in a low, menacing voice.
John came up to have a short nap. How in the world could Vivian creep into his bed?☐☐☐☐☐☐
