You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 413 Qixi Festival

The news of Vicente's successful proposal to Nina went viral on the Internet. Everyone on C Island knew the beautiful princess was going to marry the young count.

Vicente was the prince charming of many girls, and Nina was the dream girl of many men. The news had rudely awakened the men from their dreams and shattered their hearts into pieces. On the contrary, the girls talked about the love story between Nina and Vicente with great interest.

It was more like fiction than news, actually.

Netizens came up with different stories about their romance, like "childhood sweethearts having secret crushes on each other," "marriage for political connections and not love," "childhood friends to sweethearts," and many more. Ultimately, the most popular among these stories was themed "God never disappoints a patient lover-Vicente finally calls Nina his."

The women sighed dreamily, saying "All shall be well, Jack shall have Jill."

In addition, Nina finally saw their fans on the Internet. Their fans suggested for them to hold their marriage on July 7th, the Qixi Festival.

Nina's parents agreed to this proposal and set the wedding on that date.

Nina was speechless during the discussion of the wedding day. Her opinion was not solicited at all.

After they had ironed out the details, she finally spoke up. "Don't you need my input at all?"

"Nina, you only need to take good care of yourself," Anne said.

"And take care of my grandchild," Bruce interjected, looking at Nina's belly with an expectant smile.

At present, everyone in the living room was aware that Nina was expecting. Except for Rebecca, all of the servants had been dismissed, so they did not have to tiptoe around the topic.

However, Bruce still warned Vicente seriously with a straight face, "Boy, you promised that you would treat my daughter's child as your own, so I allowed you two to get married so soon. If you dare to do something to hurt my daughter in the future, you know that the consequences will be dire."

"Yes, sir." Vicente smiled politely and sincerely reassured them. "I really like Nina, and she was kind enough to grant me this opportunity. I will never take this for granted, and I will take good care of her and the child."

Anne was worried, but none of her anxiety showed on her face, which remained cold and domineering. "I don't quite believe that you would accept another man's child and take it for your own. What I do believe, however, is that you're willing to accept the child because of your love for Nina. I need you to promise me something."

"Please go ahead," Vicente said calmly.

Anne stared into Vicente's eyes and said in a serious tone, "I need your word that you will treat Nina's baby as your own in truth, and that without the child's consent, you and Nina cannot have another child." Vicente stared at the queen with a blank face, but her mind was racing. 'I can't make a baby even if I wanted to.

How can two women make a baby?'

Vicente felt embarrassed at the thought.

At the same time, Nina whispered to her father, "Dad, why do I have to ask for this child's permission to have a second child?"

She thought about how John was excited to have a baby and wanted more than one child, so she had to ask.

Bruce whispered, "To avoid the discord between siblings. Do you know why your brother adores you so much?"

Nina shook her head. The question never occurred to her before.

"It was because your mother asked his opinion before she got pregnant with you. She also told him that he wouldn't be lonely if he had a brother or sister. You weren't conceived until your brother agreed to a younger sibling, so he did not resent you when the wrinkly little ball that was you came out. He just kept looking at you with a fascinated smile.

Later, your mother made him promise to take good care of you. He protected you like a guardian while you were growing up. Isn't your brother a good one?" There was a nostalgic smile on Bruce's face. "Yes." Without hesitation, Nina nodded. "He is the best brother in the whole world."

"You have to remember, however, that the best brother in the world was taught by your mother. Your mother gave you the best brother in the world." Bruce's sunken eyes were filled with fatherly affection. When he looked at his wife, his eyes were full of deep love.

Following her father's gaze, Nina looked over at her mother. The queen was still in a serious discussion with Vicente about her and the baby, and she didn't allow herself to slack off.

"Do you disagree?" Anne asked.

"I agree," Vicente quickly replied, regained her senses. Her mind was filled with the question of how two women could possibly make a baby. Nina's parents had thought too much and too far ahead.

She estimated that before the baby could answer that question, the baby's father had already taken Nina and the baby away.

"Don't worry. I don't plan to have a second baby," Vicente stared firmly.

Both Anne and Bruce were surprised.

Nina and Vicente looked at each other for a while. The two of them already understood each other.

Bruce's stare at Vicente became weird. After examining Vicente for a while, he said, "I think you're at the peak of health."

Now, it was Vicente's turn to be surprised. 'Huh?'

Nina ruthlessly revealed what her father was implying. "Are you infertile?"

Vicente choked and stared at Nina, speechless.

"Ahem..." Raising his hand to his lips, Bruce cleared his throat and hinted for his daughter to be a little less direct, lest she hurt her betrothed's dignity.

Anne also threw Nina a wink. Nina choked back a giggle and said nothing.

If they had been alone in that living room, Vicente would have been so angry at Nina. However, in the presence of Nina's parents, she could only try to calm herself down and explain her side with a gentle, courteous smile. "Nina, you have misunderstood. The inability to make an offspring and the lack of intention to make one are two entirely different things. Please don't mix them up."

"I see." Nina laughed.

With Vicente's explanation, the strange look in Bruce's eyes disappeared.

Anne looked back and forth between the two of them and observed something odd. Didn't the two not get along when they first met? How come their relationship had improved by leaps and bounds?

On their way back, Anne brought up this question to Bruce, who was also confused about it. However, he answered it using an online "quarrelsome lovers" forum and combined it with Nina and Vicente's history.

"Remember? Even we didn't get along well with each other in the beginning. Aren't we good now? Some people say they are quarrelsome lovers. And I think it makes sense."

"Well..." Anne opened her mouth to say something, but Bruce said in an insistent tone, "It must be so. I'm sure my guess is right."

Finally, he succeeded in convincing himself and his wife.

Soon, it was the Qixi Festival. It was the day that Nina and Vicente would wed.

Walls have ears. Thousands of miles away, the new reached John Shi's ears.00000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
