Only you in my love novel Chapter 141

John pulled the numb Nina into his arms. It was the first time that he smiled publicly,

his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

There was an uproar throughout the banquet hall.

The woman who just insulted Nina was absolutely dumbfounded. She still couldn't believe it as she muttered, "She is your wife?" After saying that, she passed out.

"Mr. Shi is...married?" another woman murmured as she tried to support her friend.

What was going on? The crowd looked around at each other looking for answers.

Nobody could make it out.

"John, what nonsense are you talking about?" Jessica finally snapped out of her astonishment and scowled at John. She barked, "Didn't you know that you are to be engaged to Vivi tonight?"

"No, I didn't," John replied coldly.

Jessica shouted angrily, "Even if you don't like Vivian, you can't just marry anyone to get me off your back."

Vivian's face turned pale. She stood in the middle of the hall with tears in her eyes, looking shattered. She looked at her father beside her and asked, "Dad, what's going on?"

"It's impossible." Howard was possibly as embarrassed as Vivian, but it didn't stop him from gently comforting his daughter.

"Dad, what's going on?" Vivian's mind raced. How could John say that Nina was his wife in front of everyone?

It was unbelievable. Impossible.

Why was John doing this? All just so that he didn't have to get engaged to her?

Looking at his daughter's aggrieved face, Howard felt the irritation consume him. He had no right to question John though. He just didn't have the status. He could only stand idly by and wait to see how this all panned out.

"Let's see what Ms. Shi is going to do first. You're the only one she's going to accept as her sister-in-law so she's bound to help you out."

"That's right. Don't cry. Just listen to your dad and see what happens. It'll be okay." Julie comforted her daughter but her concentration was almost completely stolen by watching the event unfold.

Without replying to Jessica, John cast a glance at Henry, in a plea for some help.

Henry understood and came to explain, "Ms. Shi, look at the copy in your hand and you will understand the authenticity of Mr. Shi's marriage to Mrs. Shi. Ms. Lu is indeed Mr. Shi's legal wife. They have just been hiding their marriage till now."

Only then did Jessica notice the sheet of paper in her hand. She quickly lowered her head and read the document.

Her brother was so handsome and Nina had a bright smile sprawled across her face. The red background gave an air of festivity. It was obvious that they were a newly married couple.

The license number below couldn't be forged, and the seal of the Civil Affairs Bureau couldn't be forged either.

How could she not know that her brother was married?

And he was married to Nina no less?

Jessica raised her head and looked at the two of them, squinting. She had no idea what to say.

The silence in the hall attracted the attention of the people outside. Jason, who had been chatting with his friends outside, came in and looked at his stunned wife. He was urged by John to take Jessica away. He told Jason that she was sick so he hurriedly obeyed John's orders.

Jessica's stunned silence and helpless departure only confirmed that John was indeed married. This woman he held in his arms was actually his wife.

"Is Mr. Shi really married?" Julie said, her voice trembling. She couldn't take her eyes off the apparent married couple.

Were the efforts of her and her daughter going to be in vain?

Julie couldn't bear the sudden blow. Her pregnant body couldn't handle the stress and she fell to the floor.

"Julie..." Howard nervously hurried to pick her up and take her away.

Vivian's attention was so fixated on John that she didn't even notice her mother collapsing. With red eyes, she walked over and bent down to pick up the copy left on the floor.

The copy was so gleefully colorful that it demanded attention. The photo of Nina and John was surprisingly even more eye-catching.

"Why?" Vivian looked at the copy with a heavy heart. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
