You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 496 Kiss Me

John's hand was on Nina's face. It was a little cold for her tastes. He didn't pinch her hard enough to hurt her. But the place he pinched heated up quickly.

Indistinct images flashed through Nina's mind. She remembered someone loving to pinch her face.

John pinched her two more times before letting her go.

She grabbed his hand. "Pinch me again."

John stared at her for a few seconds and then laughed quietly, as intoxicating as wine. He held her hand and lifted it above her head. He leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "I'll do it if you kiss me."

She recoiled. Nina realized she had been inappropriate. But John was behaving so shameless.

"Bastard!" Nina took her hand back, pushed him away. She turned to leave.

John grabbed her arm again and said in an extremely evil tone, "Really? Then why are you blushing?"

"Let go of me!" Nina broke free from his hand again and quickly left the study, leaving him alone.

She was always just out of reach.

But at least he knew she felt the same way. Even if she wouldn't admit it.

So maybe he needed to be more subtle.

Feeling much better, John walked towards the desk and sat on the chair Nina vacated.

The woman ran to her room, head down. When she closed the door, she leaned against it and raised her hand to touch her face. It was really hot. 'Am I really blushing?

I didn't even blush around Noah. How could a bodyguard make me blush?

No way!'

Thinking of this, Nina looked at herself in the mirror suspiciously. Her face was indeed as red as an apple. How could this happen?

"Oh my God! He's right!" Nina patted her face. She couldn't believe this was happening.

She'd rather see a ghost. At least it was not as scary.

That night, Nina had a dream that frightened her even more. She had her back against the wall and was about to kiss Noah, but in the blink of an eye, it was John instead, wearing a mask. Nina woke up with a start.

It was dawn when she opened her eyes. She wiped the sweat from her face. It was burning again.

The dream had made her blush.

Taking a look at the sleeping children, Nina stood up and washed her face. It was cold that morning, and Nina was on her period. Her stomach hurt, so she grabbed a cup, intending to get some warm water. As soon as she got to the tea room, she heard a stirring sound. She looked up and saw John standing there. He had no shirt, and his abs were clearly outlined in the soft morning light.

She covered her mouth and turned around. She could feel her cheeks redden.

"Fuck..." Nina cursed quietly. She didn't believe she even said the word.

But she thought John was really rude, showing up half-naked like that.

"Put on some clothes for Christ's sake!" she hissed. She kept her head lowered. She wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of seeing her blush.

At this moment, John raised his eyebrows slightly. He brushed off her attitude. He put the cup in his hand on the table and walked over to Nina. "I made brown sugar water for you."

As soon as John approached her, she felt warm again, but she refused to look at him.

"Okay, thanks. Go back to your room."

"Hmm." John quietly made a noise of frustration, as if he were unhappy with her reaction.

She used to enjoy looking at his abs.

As the footsteps faded away, Nina slowly raised her head and looked in the direction where John had disappeared. She sighed, finally daring to breathe.

Nina turned around and walked into the tea room. She saw a cup on the table. As he said, there was a cup of brown sugar water, well-stirred.

"How did he know I'm on my period?" Nina took the cup in confusion and took a sip. It was still quite hot.

That was nice of him.

She brought the brown sugar water back to the room. As soon as she finished drinking and put down the cup, Don woke up. She could tell by his howling.

Hearing the noise, Nina quickly picked him up and rocked him gently. "Good morning, Don. Are you hungry? I'll feed you now, but be a good boy and don't wake up your brother. I can only handle one of you at a time."

Don stopped crying, sensing what she was saying.

"You're so easy to take care of sometimes." Nina put her finger out and Don obliging wrapped his tiny fingers around it. His soft little hand was quite strong, and he wouldn't let go.

John leaned against the wall and listened carefully to the sound next door. He started to smile.

In the afternoon of that day, Nina held Van and Cali held Don. They took a walk on the track by the lake and John followed them.

Before they had gone all the way around the lake, they bumped into Jett's wife Ruby Lin.

Looking at the smiling woman, Nina couldn't help but frown. 'Vicente is right. Jett won't stop until he figures out who the children's father is.'

"Good afternoon, Nina. I heard that Vicente's really busy today. He left you and the kids home. I thought you might get bored, so I came to talk to you. We can go shopping if you want," Ruby offered.

She walked up to Nina. When she was less than a meter away John stepped in her way.

Ruby was petite, and John was like a wall, completely blocking her sight.

"Why are you here again?" Ruby raised her head in displeasure. "Out of my way please."

John didn't say a word.

She remembered what happened at the twins' one-month banquet. Ruby wasn't going to offend John. She looked at Nina and said, "Relax, I'm not here for a fight. I want to apologize on behalf of my husband. He was wrong to approach the kids without permission. He wanted to see his nephews, and he had too much to drink that night. Can you forgive him?"

"That was more than two weeks ago. Why wait till now?" Cali said discontentedly. Her voice was neither loud nor low, just enough for Ruby to hear clearly.

Ruby's face turned blue at once and she glared at Cali. "Shut up! You're just a servant."

Cali raised her chin and glared back. "I'm telling the truth. Why would you get angry if you didn't feel guilty?"

"How dare you? You're really rude." Ruby was outraged. She smiled wickedly. "Nina, you should teach your servants how to behave. They might rule you if you go too easy on them."

"You..." Cali was so angry she wanted to curse, but Nina stopped her. She said coldly, "Mind your own business. I heard your apology. I'm not so forgiving. You can leave now."

When Ruby heard that, her face turned pale.

'Huh? She's so arrogant.

She won't forgive us? Well, I don't care.'

Ruby was angry inwardly, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She said with a smile, "Nina, my husband really knows he's wrong. I hope you can forgive us. If you don't forgive us, I will come here every day and ask for your forgiveness."

Nina sneered and walked up to her. "You want us to forgive you? Really?"

"I hope you can forgive us." Ruby pretended to be sincere.

Nina suddenly smiled. "So beg. On your knees."IIIIIIIIIIIII
