You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 482 I Was Offended

"Nini, are you okay?"

"Nina, are you okay?"

"Your Ladyship, what's wrong?"

Noah, Leon and Cali spoke simultaneously, edging towards Nina.

Nina tried to calm herself down with her tightly knitted eyebrows gradually relaxing. "Nothing serious. I just have a headache."

When Cali saw the open window, she quickly tightened Nina's coat for her. "Maybe it's because of the wind. It's been quite cold these days and after giving birth, your body still needs to recover." "Really?" Nina glanced at John who was standing up straight.

'Do we know each other?

Why else would his eyes be so familiar to me?'

"Yes, Your Ladyship. You'd better take good care of yourself or else you're going to get sick," Cali said sincerely.

"Okay." Nina nodded.

"Nini, you and Cali better go to the car. We'll be there soon." Leon sent the two girls away.

Once they were out of sight, Leon looked at John and sighed. "I really don't know if I should congratulate you or not. It's not ideal but at least you can get close to my sister. The only issue is that if your eyes meet, she'll get a headache."

John's eyes darkened.

"This is van. You can take off your mask and hug him if you want to." Van instantly pulled all of John's attention as soon as he laid eyes on him.

John took off his mask and gazed upon the baby. His eyes lit up as his hands trembled.

This was the first time he held a baby, so he paid careful attention to how Leon held the child before taking Van.

Which hand was supposed to be in front?

He adjusted himself a few times, but something always felt off.

He had no choice but to study Leon again and learn how to cradle the baby.

Something just wasn't right so he finally withdrew his hands.

"I just never expect you to be clumsy," Leon joked. It was the first time that he saw John like this.

"How?" Ignoring the weird stares that he was receiving, John tried to explain himself. "I've never held such a small child before."

Noah paused for a moment and said, "Just position your arms like you did just now and I'll teach you."

John positioned his arms and earnestly said, "Okay."

Noah cautiously passed the child over. "Pay attention to the palm of your right hand holding the child's neck and head. The child is still young, and his body is soft and weak everywhere. If you don't hold him properly, he's going to get hurt."

"Okay, I see." John held the baby in his arms correctly for the first time, and a milky fragrance came to his nose.

He looked over at Don, lying in Leon's arms. Both of the babies seemed to have Nina's eyes.

The amber color shone brightly. It was unmistakable.

John smiled. Although he didn't make any sound while smiling, his eyes were as soft as silk.

Both Noah and Leon were stunned.

He was always such a cold wolf, but now he smiled like a puppy.

"John! Looking at you, I would think that Don and Van are your children." Leon couldn't help but sigh. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he said something wrong. He shut his mouth. However, John didn't seem to care at all and he said, "They look like Nina."

"They are so young. How can you see who they look like?" Leon snorted and smiled at Don in his arms. "I think they look like me."

John was speechless.

Noah also fell into a stunned silence.

"Mr. Shi is right. They look more like their mother." Noah teased Van and then played with Don for a little bit.

When the eyes of John and Noah met, there seemed to be a full story unfolding in their gazes.

"Noah, don't think that I'm going to forgive you that easy. Do you think trying to get on my good side will be enough to make up for trying to steal Nina and the children away?" John turned around with his back to Noah, not letting him play with the child anymore.

John was acting like such a possessive child that all Noah could do was laugh.

Noah didn't retort. He just didn't want to go against his own will.

Noah liked Nina. He didn't know how long he had been in love with her. Perhaps he was attracted by her calm and confident temperament since the first time they met. Perhaps it was when they solved those cases together, or perhaps it was from the moment she called him senior. It was too late in any case. She was already John's wife. John was right. He wanted to steal Nina away.

He thought back to when Ford asked him if it was a good thing that Nina mistook him as her husband. For a moment, he wanted to say that it was a good thing. Especially after such a wonderful month that he had spent with her, he felt on top of the world.

There was love in Nina's eyes when she looked at him. Even if it was only a little bit, he felt unprecedentedly happy.

But these loving eyes didn't belong to him. He couldn't feel the beauty of her love because it wasn't intended for him.

Even though Nina's memory was corrupted, she would always remember John.

Even though she didn't remember his name or face, it was his aura that left a lasting imprint on her.

"Noah, what are you thinking about? Let's go." When Leon walked to the door, he realized that Noah didn't follow him out. He turned around to find Noah standing in a daze. "Okay," Noah replied.

After leaving the ward, John put his mask back on for Nina's sake. When he got into the car, he sat in the passenger seat.

The others sat in the back.

It was a comfortable ride. They played with the children in the back seat.

The only thing John could do was to look at Nina through the rearview mirror. He noticed that her face had thinned out and was so tender, similar to the child's skin.

She was always his little girl but now there were also two little boys added to that.

Nina hummed the lullaby gently and soon lulled Don to sleep. Van still lay in Leon's arms wide awake, wriggling from time to time.

"I think Van will become quite the mischief maker when he gets older. Don already just seems more obedient." Leon giggled as he teased the boy.

Cali said, "If his mother holds him, Van will definitely fall asleep as well."

"Really?" Leon asked in disbelief.

As expected, Van fell asleep in Nina's arms after just a few seconds.

Don woke up in Leon's arms and burst out crying.

"Waah..."

Their eyes instantly locked on the baby.

Seeing this, Leon was speechless.

He felt like the kids were deliberately disrespecting him.

He couldn't understand why they started misbehaving the second they sat in his arms.

"I didn't do anything," Leon explained, pleading his innocence.

Nina quickly put Van into Noah's arms and took the crying Don. "Don, good boy. Come to Mommy."

The baby howled so much that the hefty tears rolled down his face, breaking Nina's heart.

Holding the baby in her arms, Nina coaxed him for a while. Don eventually stopped crying and stared up at Nina with tears still sitting in his eyes.

Once he stopped crying, it seemed to mend his mother's aching heart.

At this moment, John's clenched fingers gradually loosened.

Leon pursed his lips and said, "These two kids are going to turn out to be quite the handful."

When he nonchalantly said this, he didn't realize how true his words would turn out to be. These two troublesome babies would help Leon find his wife.000000
