You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 396 A Quarrel Between Husband And Wife

The next day,

Scher mountain felt like a warzone.

The guards and servants tried to keep as low a profile as possible and didn't dare to speak loudly.

Bruce and Anne had a monumental fight.

"Anyway, we can't force our daughter to marry into the Nangong family. She doesn't like Vicente," Bruce said firmly, turning his back to his wife.

He couldn't bring himself to look at his wife while he shouted at her.

Anne sneered and sat elegantly on the sofa. She picked up a cup of coffee and sipped it. "What's the point of saying that now? Whose suggestion was it? Who picked Vicente? But now you want to blame me all of a sudden?"

Bruce guiltily said, "I regret that now. I just don't want my daughter to marry Vicente. I take what I said back."

"Regret?" Anne raised her head to look at her husband. He still had his back to her as she shook her head. "People can take back their words, but not you. Why didn't you think about your daughter's feelings when you initially wanted her to marry Vicente?"

"I..." Bruce was speechless. He turned around and looked at the woman who was sitting on the sofa and leisurely drinking her coffee. He stormed over to her, grabbed the coffee cup and took a sip. Anne sighed and asked a servant to get her another cup.

After taking a sip of coffee, Bruce managed to calm himself. "I made a deal with Vicente in order to draw the Nangong family over to our side. I had no choice but to gamble on my daughter's marriage." "Then what can we do now? If you want Vicente to work for you, you have to give him the lofty position he wants in the Nangong family. There is no other way except let Nina marry him." The servant hadn't brought Anne her new cup of coffee yet so she grabbed the coffee from her husband's hand and sat next to him.

Anne continued, "If it weren't for you and for the whole of C Island, I wouldn't have bothered Nina. She doesn't even talk to me anymore. Rebecca even tried to defend me but Nina didn't care for it." As a parent, how could Anne not love her children? But she was the queen and she had many things to consider.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Bruce sat there quietly.

After a spell of silence, he asked, "Can you ask Vicente to cancel the marriage?"

"No." Anne glanced at him coldly. "You know that Vicente is having a hard time in his family. If he doesn't marry Nina, then the Nangong family won't be in his control, and their power will not be under our control. What are you going to do if that happens?"

This problem had troubled them and Vicente for many years, and they hadn't figured out how to fix it. Now, Nina was the only answer.

"But Nina doesn't like Vicente." That simple aspect plagued Bruce.

Anne was well aware of that as well.

However they couldn't control everything around them. There were many things that they were completely helpless to, even though they wanted to change them.

"Nina has only known John for half a year. How deep can their relationship really be?" Anne started explaining. "Nina doesn't like Vicente because they haven't met each other yet. Didn't I also dislike you before we met? If they get along with each other, then that's all that matters.

You know Vicente is so handsome. Also, how many people can hold the position of a count at such a young age? There's no better pick than him on C Island. He is the cream of the crop." "Our son is also excellent." Bruce had always been very proud of Leon.

Anne sneered, "That's because he's like you."

"

This wasn't exactly what Bruce wanted to hear. He turned around and confronted his wife. "Is something wrong with that? He is handsome, smart, proud and royal. He is sensible and doesn't need us to take care of him."

"I was worried to death because of what happened between him and Valerie." Anne glared at Bruce, telling him to watch his tongue.

His son was indeed incredibly talented but love wasn't his strong suit. Bruce told Leon if he liked someone, he should keep her by his side. But Leon misunderstood it, and the tragedy happened. Touching his nose awkwardly, Bruce put on a flattering smile and said, "Don't worry. Our son will definitely marry a good wife like I did."

Anne snorted and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't change the topic." Anne's eyes swiftly turned cold again. "I think Vicente is a good man. He is good enough for Nina and can take care of her. He has been waiting for her for a long time. Maybe she will fall in love with him after spending some time with him together."

Bruce knew his wife was making a reasonable request, but he just couldn't side against his daughter. He frowned and said, "Nina is already married. If she married Vicente, she'll be breaking the law and we can't have her committing a felony."

"Don't worry about that. There's not going to be a problem. When she got married, she used a fake household registration anyway. Her marriage actually has nothing to do with the princess of C Island. Besides, I'd already taken care of all this before I brought her back." Anne was always meticulous. She didn't do anything without making sure that all creases were ironed out. Bruce had run out of excuses.

He hated that he was letting his daughter down. "I just feel sorry for her."

"There's no point in saying that now." In fact, Anne didn't want to force her daughter either. But Bruce had announced the marriage to the public.

Bruce looked up and said, "Where are the things that you took from her? I'll give them back to her to cheer her up."

Anne's face darkened again as she firmly said, "No. She has to build a future with Vicente. That means she has to rid herself of her past."

"Her past is also part of her. If Vicente really loves my child, he should accept her past." Bruce had no intention of giving up, "Give me her ring and her other things."

"I didn't say that Nina had to hide her past. I just don't want it to haunt her. Her marriage to John isn't even valid at the end of the day, so keeping the ring is pointless." Anne had no intention of giving Nina's things back to her.

Bruce had promised his daughter that he would bring her things back to her no matter what. He couldn't have his daughter treat him as a liar.

He gave in and said, "You don't have to give her the ring. Give her the watch. It was a gift from Leon. You know what a close relationship they have. You can't deprive her of that, can you? And the phone..." "She can't have her phone," Anne said anxiously. "She can't contact the people in Lexingport City anymore. I'm afraid that John will come to cause trouble."

Bruce was helpless. 'Can I just finish talking?'

"Nina just wants the pendant on the phone."

"She doesn't want the phone?" Anne stared at her husband suspiciously. "Are you going to call John yourself?"

Bruce's heart skipped a beat. That was what exactly he wanted.

"No." Bruce shook his head and vehemently denied.

Anne continued to stare at him. "You'd better not. John doesn't deserve our daughter. You better not try to get them back together. Otherwise, we're going to be the ones splitting up."

"I promise I'm not planning on doing any of that. Okay?" Bruce said hurriedly.

"Good." Anne finally smiled satisfactorily. "For your sake, I'll give her watch and pendant back to her."

"Thank you, honey." With a smile, Bruce joyfully walked over to give the things back to his daughter. After he left, Anne ordered that no one whose surname was Shi was allowed to enter or leave C Island. This order undoubtedly gave a fatal blow to the Seafood Restaurant in Lexingport City.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
