You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 610 Candidates for Bridesmaid and Groomsman

Gia patted her son on the shoulder and comforted him, "If that's the case, then learn from me. Try to accept and bless him."

"Maybe I misunderstood. I'll ask him again when I get the chance. The idea that the Ye bloodline will not continue on doesn't sit well with me," Henry replied with a worried look. He still did not believe it.

"There is still surrogacy." Gia had known about her son for a long time. As a mother, nothing was more important to her than the happiness of her child. Whatever or whoever made Henry happy, she was willing to embrace and accept.

And she liked Adrian very much. Because of him, she now had two sons.

Adrian echoed with a smile, "Your mom is right. Don't worry."

Sighing audibly, Henry turned off the tap and smiled at his mother and Adrian. Then, they heard Nina's joyful laugh coming from the living room.

"Hotpot? I haven't had hotpot for a long time."

"Really? If you want to have hotpot, just tell the cook," John replied, walking behind her.

Nina nodded and saw Gia walk over with a smile. "Nina, you're here. Come and eat with us."

Gia ushered Nina and John to the dining room.

Everyone else was already there when they arrived.

"Thank you, Aunt Gia." Nina smiled and took a seat at the table and so did everyone else.

While everyone settled down, Henry pulled John aside and whispered to him, "Something terrible has happened, John. Noah may be like me. You've been in close contact with him all these years. Do you know the man who seduced him?"

John took a moment to realize what Henry was talking about. What Henry said was enough to put him in shock.

'Is Noah in love with a man? That's frightening.'

He used to compete with Noah for Nina's attention. Did Noah go the other way just because he could not be with Nina?

If what Henry said was true, there had to be more to it. Failing to be with someone one time seemed like a shallow reason to change one's sexual preference.

Taking a glance at Noah who was talking and laughing, John was still doubtful. He frowned and said, "We just talk about business. We're not privy to each other's emotional states."

"Haven't you two become good friends? How could you not know?" Henry asked in a low, frustrated voice.

"Well, aren't you two brothers?" John snapped.

Henry was rendered speechless.

Well, it seemed that it was impossible to confirm his theory at the moment.

They started eating hotpot. Noah felt a little uncomfortable at first, but Gia's gentleness and enthusiasm gradually relaxed him.

The kind woman reminded him of his mother, and he smiled.

And because of this, Gia was very happy.

"What did you want to talk about with us, Mr. Shi?" Adrian picked up a bottle of red wine, skillfully opened it, and poured it into a glass. Handing John a glass, he smiled and said, "Is it about the wedding? Do you want us to be your groomsmen?"

John held the glass with his slender fingers and answered in a low voice, "Yes."

"I knew it. Don't worry. We will wear rags on your wedding day to make your handsome face and strapping body pop." Adrian clinked John's glass with his and beamed. "There's no need to. Well, even if you come to the wedding without anything on, you won't be able to steal my thunder," John replied, casting a sidelong glance at him.

Adrian's face turned pale, and his retort got trapped in his throat.

'Can this guy ever talk nicely?

He can be really rude sometimes.'

Adrian took a big gulp of his wine and did not say anything anymore.

The others snickered. Noah raised his glass and joked, "For the record, my sister-in-law can't come to the wedding naked. Someone will get incredibly angry."

Adrian whipped his head at Noah and glared at him. He did not dare talk back at John, but he vented his anger on Noah. He picked up Noah's wine glass and shoved it on Noah's mouth. "I've told you not to call me your sister-in-law! I'm a man!"

Noah did not expect Adrian's fierce move, so he ended up spilling wine all over himself and choking on some. "That's enough, you two." Seeing that Adrian was about to move again, Henry reached out and stopped him. Noah's face turned red. He could only point at Adrian while trying to catch his breath. Gia handed him a tissue.

After wiping his face and straightening up, Noah smiled and said, "Fine, I won't call you my sister-in-law anymore."

Adrian scoffed and took a sip of his wine. He said, "You can try and not to be a jerk to me sometimes, you know. Is that too much to ask?"

Noah grinned. "I recognize you as a member of Ye family. I think I'm being more generous to you than you realize."

Hearing that, Adrian could not help feeling touched, but he decided to hide his emotions and changed the subject. He cleared his throat and said to Nina, "So Mr. Shi has three groomsmen. What about you, Nina? Who will be your bridesmaids? I'm sure Michelle is number one on that list."

Nina took a sip of water and replied, "Yes. Aside from Mimi, I want to ask another friend of mine to be my bridesmaid. She's from C Island."

"But isn't Vicente the only good friend you have on C Island?" Noah looked at her in surprise.

Nina wanted to say that she meant Vicente, but she could not expose her identity. "I have another friend. We met when we were kids and used to play together. Her name is Berry."

"Berry? Is it the berry I miss?" Adrian joked.

Nina playfully rolled her eyes at him and said, "No. How can you always think about food? Is Henry not feeding you enough? Anyway, Berry's a young lady."

"Berry. I like her name. It sounds delicious. Right, Henry? Ouch!" Adrian flinched and moaned.

Henry pinched his thigh so hard that he almost jumped out of his seat. He pressed his lips together in a thin line and frowned at him.

Everybody looked at the two and giggled.

Noah said, "Berry is indeed an interesting name. If you've known her since you were kids, why didn't you mention her to us before?"

"Well, we hadn't kept in touch over the years, but I was able to contact her recently." Nina kept her face neutral and her voice steady. "Also, Vicente told me that he might not be able to come to the wedding. He's been very busy. He asked me to tell you."

A hint of disappointment flashed through Noah's eyes that nobody seemed to notice. He dipped his chin in acknowledgement and replied, "Really? That's too bad. But he probably doesn't want to see you and John get married anyway. He can't stand it when you two show off your affection for each other."

Nina was speechless. After a few moments, she smiled and said, "Well, I don't really care if he can't stand it. I want him to witness it."

Noah chuckled, "Then we should send him your wedding video."

"That's a brilliant idea!" Nina nodded. But in reality, she would not have to send the video because Vicente was coming, and she was one of her bridesmaids.

John only smiled to himself while observing the exchange between Nina and Noah.

"Trust me, you and your brother aren't the same," he said to Henry in a whisper.

"What? How do you know?" Henry asked, his eyes lighting up.

"You don't believe me? Then get him drunk and find out yourself," John answered.

Henry raised his eyebrows at John. He just suggested to extract the truth from Noah by pumping him full of alcohol.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
