You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 492 Do You Love Me

Upon hearing the voice, Cali raised her head and saw a man wearing a mask standing in front of them. She stuttered, "S-Sean! Good morning!"

Surprised and ashamed for being caught, Cali ran away.

"Cali!" Nina shouted. But even that didn't stop Cali from running. She looked at John who acted as if nothing had happened, and then hurried to catch up with Cali. "Cali, wait. Why are you running? Stop! Cali!" Cali finally stopped and raised her hands to cover her face.

When Nina walked over, she saw that Cali's ears were red. Cali tilted her head away from her as if unwilling to face her.

"Cali, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

"Ah!" Cali screamed once again. She covered her face and lowered her head. "Sean must have heard everything we talked about and known that I was peeping at him. It's so embarrassing."

"It seems that you really like Sean, Cali." Nina smiled and pulled her hands off her face. She stared at her pink face and continued, "If you really like him, just confess your love to him. You don't have to do it secretly."

Cali's eyed widened. "Confess? No, no, no. I dare not. Sean won't like me."

"All right. Maybe my thoughts are different from yours." Nina pursed her lips and smiled. "I think expressing my love to someone is only to let him know about my feelings for him. It's not to make him like me back. Under the premise of not causing him any trouble, I want him to know that there is someone in the world who really likes him."

"But I dare not," Cali said in a timid voice. "The first time that I saw Sean, I've fallen in love with him. Although others said that he looked fierce and intimidating, I know that deep inside, he is a very gentle person.

On your first day in the hospital, I came back to pack up for you. I almost tripped while I was walking down the stairs. It was Sean who saved me."

'It turns out that the hero saved the beauty.

No wonder Cali loves Sean,'

Nina thought to herself as she listened to Cali.

"Sean is awesome, and he is very good at kung fu. Even Count Nangong and Prince Leon treat him differently from other servants and bodyguards. There is no way he will show interest in a person like me." Cali lowered her eyes, wallowing in self-pity.

"I know I don't deserve him, but I can't help but want to get close to him. So every day, I check on him and see where he goes and what he does. I plan to appear near him so that it looks like we meet by chance. Greeting him makes me happy."

"Cali..." The inexplicable feeling once again rose from the bottom of Nina's heart, as if she could feel Cali's suffering. She stepped forward and hugged her. "I should have felt the same that I don't deserve the man I admire."

"How could it be?" Cali said in surprise. "Your Highness, you are the most noble lady on C Island. You are beautiful and talented. Most of the girls admire what you have done, and you are also many people's idol. How can you not deserve Count Nangong? You two are the best match in the world."

Nina smiled. "You are such a flatterer."

But Cali stood her ground and looked Nina in the eye. "I'm serious," she said sincerely.

Nina sighed. "Okay. Please don't be sad anymore. It's all my fault. I ruined your plan this morning."

"No, no." Cali shook her head. "Today is the first day that I carried out my plan. Even if you were not there, I'd screw it up too. I was so nervous."

"I hope everything goes well tomorrow," Nina smiled. "By the way, I have a question to ask you."

"Go ahead, Your Highness," Cali answered.

Nina looked at Cali seriously. "If I often meet someone by chance, is it possible that the person makes it look like we meet by chance?" Nina suspected that there was something wrong with the frequent encounter between Sean and her.

Cali thought for a while and said, "There are only two kinds of situations when we often meet a person. The first is fate, and the second is man-made. It may be fate that two people often meet. It's also possible that that person likes the other person and deliberately create opportunities to meet. It's just like what I did. I tried to create an opportunity to meet Sean, but I failed the first time."

"Maybe it's not fate," Nina muttered in a low voice. God had already given her Noah, so there was no reason for her to be given another man.

But if it was not God, then there must be something wrong with Sean.

She had to find an opportunity to talk to him and sort it out.

"What?" Cali asked in confusion. "Who are you referring to?"

"Nothing." Nina looked up at her. "Cali, I'm going to jog. I wish you a smooth tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Your Highness. Be careful. Don't run too fast and hurt your knees." Cali waved her hand, turned around and left.

Nina was just about to finish running around the lake when Sean stopped in front of her. He wiped the sweat on his face with a towel, his back dripping wet.

She ignored him and continued running. When she passed by him, she heard him say, "Good morning, Your Highness."

After greeting her, John left without looking at her.

This made Nina think that there was something wrong with her ears.

Nina wanted to test him. On the second day, she went to jog at the same time she did the first day. As expected, she met John who had just finished running. He said, "Your Highness, what a coincidence." After finishing her work at night, she went out to get a glass of water. She was shocked to see John in the kitchen who also came out to get a glass of water. He greeted her, "Your Highness, what a coincidence."

It was the same for several days in a row.

One night, when Nina had just finished writing the plan of the detective agency, her alarm clock rang, reminding her of her bed time. When she pressed the alarm clock, she specially looked at her own water glass.

She had a habit of drinking a glass of warm water before she went to bed to help her sleep.

Nina stood up with a glass in her hand. As soon as she went out, she saw John who also came out with his own glass.

"What a coincidence!" This time, Nina took the initiative to speak.

John repeated, "What a coincidence."

The two of them went to the kitchen together. As the hot water flowed into Nina's glass, she decided to break the ice and settle it once and for all.

She asked, "Sean, why do we always meet by chance?"

"What do you think, Your Highness?" The more John looked at Nina, the more he wanted to continue looking at her. But he was afraid that it would offend her, so he chose to withdraw his gaze. "Sean, I think you do it on purpose." After getting the water, Nina turned around and looked up at him. Her charming eyes were now full of coldness.

"I admit that we didn't meet by chance. I did it on purpose, but I won't hurt you."

"Why?" she asked.

"What? Why did I do it? Or why won't I hurt you?" John walked up to the machine to get water.

"Both," Nina answered. "Do you love me?"

John was slightly taken aback by her words. His eyes flickered and he couldn't speak.

"If so, I really appreciate your love, but I already have someone I like," Nina said, as she looked at him seriously.

"Vicente?" John asked and chuckled. "Your Highness, you think too much. I don't love you."

'Fine. I was being narcissistic,'

Nina thought to herself.

"Leon, Vicente and Noah get along with you more like friends. They are even a little afraid of you. You are not a simple person, are you?" Nina looked at him, narrowing her eyes. "Why do you work as a bodyguard?"

John composed himself and replied calmly, "Someone asked me to."

"Who?" she asked.

Quietly, John answered in his heart, 'Me.'

But he knew that she wouldn't understand. So he simply answered, "You don't need to know."‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
