You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 483 John's Number

After Van and Don fell asleep, everyone else in the car kept quiet. Nobody wanted to wake the babies.

Cali's eyes began wandering to the passenger seat again. She did not say anything, but her face revealed everything that she was thinking.

Seeing Cali, Nina remembered what she had promised her before. Following Cali's gaze, she looked at the back of the man she was staring at and immediately, her head throbbed faintly.

It was really strange. Every time she saw him, her head ached.

"Did we know each other before?" Nina blurted out.

Hearing this, John looked at her through the rearview mirror with a panicked expression.

She was shaking her head just now. She must be nursing a headache again.

John just lowered his head and neglected to answer Nina's question. He did not know what to tell her.

She was not in a good condition right now. If he said the wrong things to her, it might yield incredibly bad consequences.

He might know Nina as one of the strongest women he had ever met, but this was not the time to push her. She was fragile, and she needed time.

Seeing that John did not give her an answer, Nina remembered that he was dumb and could not speak.

"Why do you ask that?" Leon asked in a low voice.

"It's just..." Nina stopped before she could finish speaking. She had wanted to tell her brother that the strange man gave her a headache every time she looked at him, but she was afraid that Leon would transfer him away.

She did not know why, but something deep inside her told her to keep the man by her side.

Her memory might be a bit fuzzy, but her intuition had never failed her.

Besides, he was supposed to be good at martial arts. He was perfect for Van and Don's protection detail.

"I feel familiar with everyone I see." Nina made an excuse and smiled. Then, she took out a piece of paper and a pen.

"Sean, can you write your phone number here, please?" Nina passed the pen and paper to Sean through Cali.

She was sitting a little far away from him, and her arm was not long enough.

Holding the note in her hand, Cali flashed Nina a grateful smile.

She handed the note to Sean shyly and said, "Sean, the countess wants you to write your number on this piece of paper."

When he heard Cali call him Sean, he was indifferent, but when he heard that it was Nina who was asking, John took the note with his index and middle fingers.

Seeing the strange man's slender fingers, Nina saw a picture of someone in a car waving at her in her mind. The gesture was very familiar, and the man in that flicker of memory crooked his index and middle fingers.

But before Nina could capture the memory, it vanished into thin air.

The only thing she could remember was the man's two fingers, which strangely looked exactly like Sean's.

"Thank you." Cali's excited voice brought back Nina from her reverie.

She raised her head and saw the joy in Cali's eyes. Cali showed her the note in her hand with Sean's number on it. Nina gave her a thumbs-up sign and smiled.

John's face darkened.

How could Nina give his number to another woman?

He gritted his teeth.

He took out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote something. "It's not right for you to give others my phone number without my consent."

After he finished writing, he folded the note neatly and accurately threw it onto the seat beside Nina.

Nina saw the note, opened it, and was stunned.

She knew that what she did just now was a little inconsiderate.

But the note was already in Cali's hand. How could she take it back?

Was it true that women would become fools after getting pregnant?

Now Nina was a little anxious.

Before she could decide how to deal with the matter, the car had arrived at the castle. Two teams of servants were waiting in line outside.

She had to put the problem on the back burner. A more important matter was at hand.

Everyone got out of the car. Cali got out before John, and John was the last one out.

Cali was still basking in the joy of finally getting her prince charming's contact information. She pressed the note against her chest and walked forward, lowering her head and not paying attention to where she was going.

The next moment, she bumped into something solid, stopping her dead.

Cali was startled. Looking down, she saw a pair of black boots. Slowly raising her head, she realized that her dream lover was standing right in front of her. Her face instantly flushed. "Sean? What can I do for you?"

John reached out his hand and signaled to her to hand over the note. His face betrayed emotion, but his eyes said it all. He was threating Cali.

Cali's face turned pale. She never thought that Sean was so horrible.

"Here you are." Trembling with fear and embarrassment, Cali immediately bowed to John. "I'm sorry."

John calmly reached out for the note. Cali seemed to be relieved and ran away with her head down.

He put the note into his pocket and turned around to follow her.

Today was the one-month-old banquet of Van and Don. The castle had already been decorated to look bright and festive. Both the front hall and the kitchen were very busy.

The guests soon arrived, and they were C Island's nobility and powerful figures. Everything in the banquet hall was incomparably luxurious, and every corner was filled with delicious food and expensive wine. The children were placed a little far away from the banquet hall so that the noise would not bother them, but the guests were welcome to see them from afar.

At this time, John was guarding the twins, his gaze occasionally sweeping through the crowd.

A few moments later, a man came over.

He tried to get close to Van and Don, but John stepped forward to block his way.

"Count Nangong is my cousin. I'm these children's uncle. Can I see them?" Jett asked with a smile. He tried to tiptoe and catch a glimpse of the twins, but their bodyguard successfully blocked most of the view. Jett thought that it was a miracle that Nina and Vicente's premature babies even survived. Infants born six months before they were supposed to usually bit the dust.

Vicente had already gotten a miracle more than twenty years ago. Jett simply could not believe that Vicente's children also managed to get one recently.

Jett had drugged Vicente all those years ago so that Vicente would have difficulty fathering children. The fact that his cousin managed to get Nina pregnant soon after their wedding was still a mystery. Was it a lie from the very beginning?

Had Nina even been pregnant at all?

Jett needed to get proof. He needed the children's blood for paternity test.

Thinking of this, Jett nodded subconsciously.

Since John was a child, he had been able to read people well. Even though the man who claimed to be Vicente's cousin looked decent enough, his eyes brimmed with the kind of cunning that John only saw in the eyes of dangerous men.

Also, he had Jett investigated. He always wanted to be the count, but he was way down the line of succession.

In order to be the count, he had to kill Vicente and his heirs.

Now it seemed that Jett had come to start his crusade with the twins.

John would not allow such a thing to happen. He eyed Jett coldly and approached him.

His height of 1.9 meters gave people a sense of oppression and with his natural imperial aura, John was just downright menacing. With every step he took forward, Jett took one back, looking like he was abou to wet himself in fear.

"What are you doing? I just want to see the babies," Jett tried to yell, but his voice pathetically shook.

Without saying a word, John pushed Jett away. He raised his hand and pointed at the way Jett had come. His icy stare told him to get lost.

'Get out of here before I kick you back to where you came from.'

"Why do you want me to leave? You are just a bodyguard hired by the Nangong family!" This time, Jett managed to shout. He pointed a finger at John and cursed.

Before Jett could blink, John's black-gloved hand was already bending his finger so far backward. Jett screamed like a pig getting slaughtered. Then, John raised his foot and kicked Jett in the knee, forcing him to kneel on the floor.

The faint sound of crushing bone preceded Jett's cry.00000000000☐☐☐
