You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 379 It's Warm

Nina walked along the path the man pointed. After some time, she reached a place which was some distance away from the sea. Both sides of the road were lined with small trees only as tall as a man.

Colorful lights flickered all around her as she kept walking.

After a few more minutes of walking, Nina couldn't feel the strong sea breeze anymore. She stopped to look back and noticed that the sea was out of sight.

The big reef blocked her view of the water, and it was dark all around.

Sitting on the reef, Vivian hid in the darkness. Although Nina couldn't see her, Vivian could make out Nina's slim figure against the lights.

Nina just glanced around casually and continued to walk a few steps forward. She saw John standing straight a couple of meters away, holding a bouquet of flowers. He was so nervous that he stood so stiffly, legs locked tight.

At the same time, John saw her approaching slowly. He smoothened his clothes and walked over with the flowers.

"Honey, here you are," John said to her as he handed over the roses.

The scent of the flowers and the handsome man in front of her made Nina's heart race. With expectation, she took the bouquet. She kept running her hands on the flowers, trying to find the ring. However, there were only roses, nothing else. There was no ring there.

"What are you looking for?" John asked curiously.

'Did I do something wrong? Is she not happy with the surprises along the way? Or did she not understand the note?' John kept wondering.

"No. Nothing," Nina replied. She took another glance at the bouquet, but there was really nothing else there.

Her expression changed. She was sure that she didn't see the ring in the food or in the roses.

"Honey, do you know how I feel now?" she asked in a sad voice. At this point, Nina had already given up looking for the ring. "My heart feels so cold. I thought that I'd find the ring in the food, but I didn't. Then I hoped that I'd find it in the bouquet, but I was wrong again. I'm upset, to be honest. There's nothing you can do to warm my heart."

With a deep sigh, Nina stuffed the roses back into John's hand and turned away from him.

John stood there, clueless.

He didn't mention anything about the proposal. He wondered how Nina knew about it.

"I don't know what else to say, John. I've already told you how I feel," Nina added in a quiet voice. From the corner of her eye, Nina glanced at John. She saw that he was frowning. But in the blink of an eye, she noticed that his brows relaxed. It seemed that he had thought of a way to make it up to her.

Laying the flowers down by his feet, he raised his hand to signal to others to leave. He then took off his coat and casually threw it onto the ground, right next to the roses.

Nina's eyes widened in shock.

"Well, I forgive you," Nina said to him quickly. "It's warm now. You've warmed it."

"Really? I think it's quite cold, actually." John smiled wickedly.

Just an arm's length from him, Nina felt much warmer in the breeze.

At that moment, she gave in to John.

She let down all of her defenses and gave in to him.

He knew that she couldn't resist his toned body.

"It's not cold. It's warm." She blinked her left eye at him. As she was about to reach out her hand to him, John grabbed her wrist.

With a slow tug, he pulled her straight into his arms. He lifted her gently, and they stood face to face. She could now feel the warmth of his breath.

Her heart felt warm inside her chest.

Not only that, but her whole body also felt hot.

They both could feel each other's warmth through the thin fabric of their clothes. There was no one else around. They could only hear each other's breath and heartbeat.

Nina's heart beat faster when she drew closer to him.

It was the same with John.

"Honey, do you hear that? Every time my heart meets you, it feels very glad."

Holding her wrist, John put the palm of Nina's hand on his chest. There was a faint smile on his face. The tenderness in his eyes showed that he loved her deeply.

He raised his left hand to hold the back of her head and took out a box from his pocket with his right hand. He opened the box nimbly with his fingers and took out the ring. The box gently fell to the ground and rolled to the side, as if to give them enough space.

Although Nina didn't find any surprises on the way, John was determined to stick to his plan. He wanted to propose during the kiss.

That was the reason why he specifically told Nina to kiss him when they met.

Nina, however, didn't take his words seriously.

She just said that she would kiss him many times. John sighed in his heart.

She was his wife, and he could only accept who she was.

John's fingers slowly moved nearer to Nina's left hand. He had held that hand countless times already. He was confident that he would find her ring finger even without looking. Some say that there is a blood vessel on the ring finger of the left hand. They say that it is connected directly to the heart. John hoped that this ring would connect their hearts forever. Feeling something cold, Nina reflexively yanked her finger back. However, John was quicker. Without giving her a chance to retreat, he had already slid the ring on her finger.

John's hand and her finger slowly warmed the cold metal of the ring.

As she opened her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly.

His lips left hers and he touched her head with a smile.

"Honey, I love you." With tears welling in her eyes, Nina threw herself into John's arms. Embracing him tightly, she wrapped her arms around his waist.

She was overjoyed that she finally got the ring.

Their marriage was like a joke at the beginning. The marriage licenses were the only proof of their union. No ceremony, no celebration.

Now there was something to symbolize the truth of their marriage.

"I said I was married before, but no one believed me. Now, if anyone doesn't believe me, I can just show my ring,"

Nina said as she rubbed against John's body.

"You're so lovely," John said with a chuckle.

She raised her chin and snorted, "Of course."

"My little girl," John said to her as he patted her on the back. "I've planned the proposal for a long time, yet you still managed to catch me off guard. You're really something." "So you mean there are other surprises?" Nina asked curiously.

"On your way here." Then he pinched her face and said, "Go back and walk towards me again."

Looking at the dark road, Nina thought it would be troublesome for her to run back and slowly walk again, so she pouted and said, "I want to look at the surprises from here." With a tender smile, John said, "It will be the other way then."

"It doesn't matter. Maybe it's another story." With excitement and curiosity, Nina walked back.

John picked up his coat and put one hand in his trouser pocket, staring at her figure.000
