You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 519 Aren't You Jealous

Before returning to the castle, Nina went back to the ward to get something.

'I need to get Demi's handbag.

There must be more important information in there.'

She took the handbag and sat down. John locked the door behind them and sat next to her. Naturally, he put his arm around her waist.

Nina also liked to sit close to him, so she let him hold her. She then tipped over Demi's handbag onto the table and emptied it. A whole bunch of stuff came tumbling out.

In addition to the tube of lipstick, the small bottle of perfume, and the sapphire necklace, Nina also found a two-by-two photo.

It was of a man and a woman, smiling.

'There's a stamp of the Civil Affairs Bureau on this photo.

This must've been attached to a marriage certificate. The man in the photo is Jett. He must be around twenty-two years old when this was taken.

However, the woman in the photo is neither Ruby, his wife, nor Demi.

What's this photo doing in Demi's handbag? It's strange.

And who's the woman in the photo? Why is Demi carrying this around with her?

Could Ruby be Jett's second wife by any chance and this woman is his first? But I've never heard of it before.'

Nina held the photo in her hand and carefully examined it. After a few moments of deep thought, she still was unable to figure it out.

Sitting next to her, John watched her intently. She looked very serious. However, what he was thinking was completely different.

"Hey, little girl." John turned his head and called her.

Nina only said softly, "Hmm?" She was still holding the photo and staring at it, so John took it from her hand and set it on the table. He asked solemnly, "Do you think that there is something wrong with the way Cali looks at me?"

"What?" Nina glanced at him and then reached out for the photo once again, but before she could, John's hand was already on hers and pulling it back.

His deep eyes seemed to be filled with anger because he was ignored.

Remembering that her husband did not like being ignored when he was being serious, Nina decided to forget about Demi for a moment and focus on John. She turned to him and asked, "Why? How does Cali look at you anyway?"

With a satisfied smile, John answered, "She definitely likes me."

'I'm not being narcissistic. It's just that Cali looks at me the way I look at you when I just fell in love with you.

Her eyes have that same happy twinkle.'

Nina blinked twice and, after a few seconds, said calmly, "I know. She told me back when I couldn't remember you. And she's not the only girl in the castle who has a crush on you, you know." "You knew?" With a cold look, John tightened his grip on her waist.

Nina did not understand why he was so angry all of a sudden. Her heart jolted. 'Did I do or say something that vexed him again?

Since I regained my memories, every time I thought about the fact that I mistook Noah for him and really treated him as a bodyguard, I felt bad. I felt like I owed him.

If I had been in his shoes, I would've died of a broken heart. I wouldn't have the courage to return and stay.

But he did. He came back and protected me.'

Even though Nina knew that her memory loss was all because of the drug, she still felt guilty and pained over how she treated John. The last thing she wanted right now was to hurt him in any way. "Yes. Why? What's wrong?" Nina asked. Even though she felt guilty, she still wanted to know if she really had done anything wrong. She still could not fully trust her newly recovered memories. Unaware that a lot had gone through Nina's head in the last three seconds, John answered through gritted teeth, "Aren't you jealous?"

Nina caught her breath and found herself speechless.

'So he's angry and acting like this because I know about Cali's little crush on him and I'm not jealous?

How could John be

so cute?'

Nina suddenly burst into laughter.

'Is she laughing?

What the hell is so funny?'

Seeing Nina's reaction, John got even angrier. He was about to stand up when she pulled him back down. She tried to hold back her laughter and coaxed him, "Of course I'm jealous. I just didn't show it. Oh, I'm so jealous. How dare Cali like you? She can't like you. I'm going to scratch her face off."

"Humph! Spare me the sarcasm," John said coldly.

Nina laughed even louder this time while John folded his arms across his chest and pouted. When she finally calmed down, she leaned in and tried to kiss him on the cheek.

Still feeling a little peeved, he turned away.

"Oh, come on." Still giggling, Nina held the sides of John's face.

She kissed him on the corner of his mouth.

After kissing him, she said seriously, "Can you blame me for not being jealous? You always keep your distance from Cali. You even asked me to give her the glass of water. You haven't really paid that much attention to her. You've been avoiding her the entire time. How could I be jealous? You didn't exactly give me a reason to."

It was John's turn to gasp and be at a loss for words.

'So it's my fault?'

"And I can't exactly blame Cali. I mean, even with the mask and the silent treatment, she and so many girls in the castle found you so irresistible. I can only imagine how they'll react now that you're showing your face. They'll all probably fantasize about you even more." The more Nina thought about other women fancying her husband, the faster she got pissed. 'This man has that kind of allure that's just begging to be seduced. Of course women will always flock around him.'

She grabbed John's collar with both hands and pulled him in until the tip of their noses touched.

"The reason why girls like you is that you are a great man. But if you give any of them any sort of attention, I will beat your handsome face into a pulp, do you understand me?" Nina loosened her grip on his collar and clenched one of her hands into a fist.

As soon as her words came to an end, John flashed her a little smile and covered her mouth with his.

Their hot and heavy kiss went on for almost a minute, leaving both of them gasping for air. John nipped at Nina's lip at the last second, which startled her.

"Ouch! What did you bite me for?" Nina licked her lip and tasted the iron from the blood John drew.

With a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, John replied, "I was bored."

"You bit me because you were bored?" Nina rolled her eyes. 'What a ridiculous reason.'

"I was also happy." The fire in John's heart had been rekindled once again. He was truly ecstatic.

'I couldn't believe it when she woke up with her memories returned. It didn't feel real when she looked at me, called me by my name, and hugged me that time.

But now that she's threatening to beat the hell out of me, I know that she's really back.

My little girl is really back.'

"Do normal people even bite other people when they're happy?" Nina picked up the small mirror on the table and looked at her bleeding lip. The skin was really broken, and the blood had not clotted yet. First, he kissed her and left hickeys all over her body, and now he bit her because he was bored and happy. Nina could only shake her head at how nonsense he was being.

Then, John raised his head and looked deeply into her eyes. A knowing smile slowly spread across his face.

Nina backed away and rolled her eyes. "Don't flash me that affectionate look. At this point, I'd rather be bitten by a dog than let you kiss me again."

John simply kept smiling and did not say anything.

Then, he slowly leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Woof..." With her beautiful eyes wide open, Nina seemed to be shocked.¶¶¶¶¶¶☐☐☐☐☐
