You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 481 Not Even A Glance

Noah's big hand gently patted the swaddling baby. His eyes darkened, and soon returned to clear as before.

"Noah? What's wrong?" Nina walked over and looked up at him in surprise. She seemed to raise her hand and compare her height with his.

His height was different from what she remembered.

She felt like it was roughly ten centimeters off.

She changed her stance and looked from all angles, trying to figure out what was wrong.

Noticing her hesitation, Leon asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing," Nina answered blankly. Then she looked at the two of them and asked, "Aside from losing my memories, do I have any other memory disorders?"

The two men's pupils contracted simultaneously.

"Nini, did you remember something?" Leon walked over anxiously.

Nina sighed, "I couldn't recall anything. I tried my best but nothing came to my mind."

"So what did you mean a moment ago?"

"I think Noah is a little shorter than I thought." Confused, Leon turned to Noah and asked, "Did you shrink?"

"Ahem..." Noah almost choked in shock. "People only shrink when they get to an elderly age. I'm just twenty-eight years old."

"Twenty-eight?" Nina's eyes filled with astonishment. She felt like something was really wrong now.

So she asked, "Noah, have you changed your age?

Aren't you thirty years old?" 'Do I look that old?'

Thinking of this, Noah reached out and touched his face. Leon rolled his eyes and pulled Noah to a corner to talk to him in private.

"Do you know what's going on?" Leon asked in a low hushed voice.

"Yes." Noah looked back at Nina and turned around. "Although she thinks of me as her husband, everything in her memory is still linked to Mr. Shi. Only his face is replaced with mine."

"John's face has been replaced with yours in her memory. The other memories are still engrained in her. Although they are not clear, they are still there." Leon suddenly thought that things weren't so bad. They should tell John the good news.

Maybe if they spent enough time together, his face would return to her memory and the record would be set straight.

Noah seemed to have read his mind. "If she sees Mr. Shi now though, she'll faint from the sheer pain."

"John can wear a mask." A hint of slyness flashed in Leon's eyes. "I know. Let the two of them look at each other for a while. If it's all right with a mask, we can let John be her bodyguard." Noah nodded. He thought they should at least give it a try. After all, John would be around later anyway.

"What were you two whispering about?" Nina's voice suddenly floated into their ears from behind. They panicked and turned around.

Nina stood behind the two of them, her eyes as cold as ice and as sharp as arrows.

"Nothing." Leon's first reaction was to deny it, but he was failing miserably.

Nina did lose some of her memories but she didn't lose her talents. She could still tell at a glance whether a person was lying.

Knowing this, Noah chose to tell the truth. "We want to find you a bodyguard."

"Bodyguard?" Nina asked. "I have myself. I don't need a bodyguard."

"Yeah, you're right." Leon nodded. The plan was tossed aside before it was even implemented.

With a squeak, Cali pushed the door open. Her face was still a little red, and she slowly ambled in.

This had to be the reaction of a girl awakening her love, meeting her sweetheart.

"Is Sean here?" Nina asked.

Cali nodded shyly. "Yes, he's outside. He's here to escort you home."

"Let's go." Nina was about to leave.

Noah stopped her, "Wait. Cali, ask Sean to come in. He doesn't have to wait outside. Ask him to carry the children. He hasn't seen the children yet, nor has he held them."

"What?" Noah's words sounded so strange to Nina. It was a lot like what the nurse said to her yesterday when she brought the babies.

The nurse had said, "You haven't seen the babies yet, and you haven't held them. Hurry up and hug them."

It sounded like she was talking to the children's parents.

Sean was just a bodyguard though.

"His job is not only has to protect Van and Don, but he is also responsible for teaching them how to protect themselves and how to get stronger. So they need to build some sort of bond with him," Noah explained.

After thinking for a while, Nina accepted that reasoning.

Cali called Sean in.

The expression on John's face changed. The moment he pushed the door open, he felt his palms get smothered with sweat.

He was nervous and scared.

In the past month, he didn't dare show his face in front of Nina. He could only steal a few moments with her while she slept.

He didn't want his appearance to make Nina suffer. It terrified him in all honesty. He would always rather endure the pain than leave it to Nina.

Noah wanted John to come in just to see Nina's reaction. If she didn't feel as uncomfortable as last time, then he could see her more often.

Just seeing Nina felt like a blessing for John.

"S-Sean, this way, please." Cali was so excited that she stammered.

Some of the servants admired him, but some were afraid of him.

Wearing his black mask, John didn't say a word. He glided in as swiftly as the wind. His eyes were colder than the winter and darker than the night, which only added to his eerie aura. Hearing the footsteps, Nina felt inexplicably more at ease.

The sound of footsteps was exactly the same as the one she heard every night.

Nina curiously looked up and saw a black figure walking over. His lean figure looked so familiar to her. It felt like it was linked to her lost memories. "Noah, I think you two look quite similar." Nina stared at his crew cut hair. "You have very similar hairstyles. No wonder you remind me of each other." Cali energetically said, "I think so, too. But they're not exactly alike. You can see from their eyes."

When John came in, he had his gaze lowered. He didn't dare to look into Nina's eyes because he was afraid that he couldn't control himself. He longed to hug and hold her more than anything right now.

"Eyes?" Nina became curious. "Sean, look up at me."

Her distant tone made John's body stiffen up as an indescribable bitterness filled his heart.

He reluctantly raised his head, obeying her orders.

Their eyes met across the room. John's deep and sad gaze stung Nina's eyes.

She immediately felt like she had seen these eyes before.

She just couldn't remember where though.

She had forgotten completely.

Her mind went blank again, but John's familiar eyes were like two thin needles, stabbing into her mind, trying to break in.

"It hurts." Nina shook her head and raised her hands to rub her temples.

Seeing this, John looked away.

'Can't I even look at her now?' he thought.000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
