You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 621 The Wedding (Part Six)

With Nina in his arms, John walked along the bright hallways of the castle before he ascended the spiral staircase, and pushed open the door to their bedroom.

Although he had spent four years constructing the place, he had never let Nina catch even a glimpse of the North Yard castle.

Nina knew that he had been planning it as a surprise for her, but she never imagined that it would be such a marvelous surprise. John had built a castle for her and their bedroom was similar to hers on C Island.

John knew that her bedroom in Scher Mountain was designed just to her liking. Even though he had only been to that place a few times, he had memorized every little detail about her room perfectly. Their bedroom was not just inspired by her room in Scher mountain, but also built according to the style of North Yard castle's rooms.

Crystal chandeliers hung in the center of the room, scattering light beautifully, illuminating every inch of space in their room.

The room was decorated in off-white and olive green. It was furnished elaborately in the finest silks, lace, and satin. There were intricate floral patterns that were painted, covering the walls. However, the designs were also minimalistic, making the room appear more luxurious, yet romantic.

There were some photos of John and Nina that hung on the wall, along with some of her paintings. The aroma of books filled the room, comforting Nina in a beautiful way.

But then, the thing that instantly caught Nina's eye was their marriage licenses that was hanging on the wall.

John put Nina on their bed and sat down next to her, while she stared at them and laughed.

"Did you really put our marriage licenses in our bedroom instead of carrying them with you?"

John knew that she was teasing him, so he did not care. He leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. "This is not like before, you know? Now that everyone knows that we're married, I am concerned about accidentally losing our marriage licenses. That's the reason I have hung them on our bedroom wall. Also, it is a reminder for you to perform your wifely duties well."

John deliberately stressed the words "wifely duties" in an attempt to seduce her.

Seeing the flames of passion in his eyes, Nina immediately thought of sex.

She blinked her eyes at him innocently as she moved her gaze from his eyes to his erection.

"Well, I have no objection," she said in an obedient manner.

John looked down at his erection and immediately moved away from her.

His sudden movement made Nina speechless. She looked at him with a confused expression.

'Aren't we going to make love?' she wondered, looking at him.

Feeling her heated gaze on his body, John cleared his throat and said in a soft voice, "I'll go and get you some clothes."

"Oh, okay." Nina nodded, not knowing what was going on. She couldn't help but murmur to herself, "What clothes? Does he have some strange hobbies? Is he going to show his true colors?" Thoughts of them making love flashed through Nina's mind and she could not help but blush.

When John returned, he saw Nina covering her face, which was red with embarrassment and excitement. "Isn't it going to be exciting?" she said to herself, not knowing that he had returned. "What is going to be exciting?"

"What? Oh, it's nothing." Nina was not expecting him to return that soon. She thought that he would bring her all kinds of lingerie to wear after holding in his desire for so long, but there was only one box in his hand.

By then, John seemed to have controlled his desire as he placed the box on the table and took out a Chinese wedding dress.

"Put it on, we're going to propose a toast. You should not feel too cold wearing it," he said in a low voice.

"Propose a toast? Aren't we going to make love first?" Nina blurted out.

John turned and looked at her with his eyebrows raised in surprise. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"No, I am not." As Nina said those words, she realized that John had not gone out to get her lingerie for having sex, but for bringing her a Chinese wedding dress, so that she would not feel cold while they made a toast.

With a gentle smile, John walked towards her, holding the dress in his hands.

"Don't worry, we still have our whole lives for that. Would you like to put it on by yourself, or would you like me to dress you, instead? Forget that I asked such a question. Here, let me dress you," he said as he looked into her amber eyes.

Before Nina could even say a word, John began dressing her.

It was not red, like normal Chinese wedding dresses, but a shade of pale blue. There were intricate designs embroidered in pure gold, which looked exquisite.

The collar was just the perfect fit for her neck, which made her look more beautiful and elegant.

The dress was filled with tiny crystals and silver sequins, just like the stars in the sky, but the crystals glimmered much brighter than the stars.

It wasn't very exposing, which made her appear more dignified and gentle.

Nina had beautiful amber eyes that glowed in contrast with the blue dress as she smiled at John.

"My wife is so beautiful." John wrapped his arms around her from behind as he rubbed his cheek against her neck. "Is the dress warm enough?" he asked.

"It's warm. In fact, I don't feel cold at all." Saying that, Nina glanced at her wedding ring that she had placed on the dressing table. "I removed the ring while taking off my gloves. Could you please put it on my finger?"

With the ring in her hand, Nina looked at him while reaching out her right hand to him.

"Of course, I'll help you wear it," John said sweetly as he took the ring from her and put it on her ring finger.

He had heard that there was a blood vessel that connected the ring finger to a person's heart, which meant that he was holding her heart in his hand.

"It's done." Saying that, John pulled her closer to him as he whispered in her ear, "Could you put it on me tonight?"

"Haven't I already put the ring on you? Are you going to take it off just so that you could wear it again? Is this some new hobby of yours?" Nina teased as she put her arms around his waist. But then, she heard him chuckling.

It was not very loud, and he became silent again in just a moment. "I wasn't talking about the ring."

"Then what do you need me to put on you?" Nina asked with a puzzled look.

"The condom..." As he said that, John's breath stopped for just a moment. Afraid that he would get an erection again, he quickly let of Nina.

Upon hearing his heavy breathing, Nina blushed and covered her face.

Pretending to be calm about the topic, she said, "You have hands, right? Why don't you do it yourself?" I have a wife to do it for me!'

Thinking that, John did not accept her suggestion.

He lifted her chin and gently pushed her to look at the framed marriage licenses that hung on the wall, as though he was reminding her that it was her duty as his wife.

Although Nina was annoyed, she also found it funny. "Fine. I'll help you. But aren't we going to propose a toast? Let's get downstairs, shall we?"

With a smile of content, John held her hand as he took her back to their wedding stage to greet their guests.

Every time John met a guest, he would say, "Meet my wife, Nina."

"Uncle, this is my wife, Nina."

"Auntie, she is my wife, Nina."

"Auntie, say hello to my wife, Nina."

"Cousin, this is my wife, Nina."

"Cousin, please meet my wife, Nina."

There were more than a hundred guests and John said those same words to almost half of them. Even after he had introduced her formally to sixty people, he did not feel satisfied.

A little drunk, he lifted his glass and announced, "I hereby thank each and every one of you for your blessings on my wedding with Nina."

He then looked around with a serious expression and warned, "Now that you have seen it happen, I don't want any of you desiring her."

Upon hearing those words, the guests were rendered speechless.

Was that the real reason John had invited them all to the wedding?

Was it just to give them all a warning?

Nina squeezed his hand tightly to quieten him and looked at him. She looked like a beautiful rose that only blossomed in the night.

A rose that was ever flourishing in his heart.

John turned to look at her, his eyes filled with all the love that was in his heart.

'It has always been her. Just her. She is the one.'

And for Nina, he was the one.¶¶¶¶¶¶
