Nina's heart skipped a beat.
As she had expected, John was worried about her true identity.
There was silence and the breathing of them could be heard faintly.
The bright light was dazzling at this moment. Nina lowered her eyes and pursed her lips without saying anything.
Without looking at Nina, John kept staring at the night outside the window. The moon in the sky hid into the clouds.
It was getting darker.
In the dark night, he never knew whether the person standing beside wanted to be with him sincerely or waited for an opportunity to do something harmful to him.
When he couldn't see anything, the sensory stimulation would become obvious. John could feel a strong hug and the fragrance was lingering at the tip of his nose. A sincere voice sounded in his ears.
Nina hugged him from behind.
"I love you. No matter I'm good or bad, I won't do anything harmful to you."
"As for my identity, I didn't mean to hide it. I have my own difficulties."
It was not that she didn't believe in John, but that she didn't dare to let one more person know her true identity. She would be more dangerous with more people knowing her identity.
If her parents knew that she had married John, they would definitely order them to divorce, because they had said that the princess of CM Island could only marry a real aristocrat, but not a businessman.
For example, the Nangong family, the most famous and the most noble family in CM Island.
Specifically, a real aristocrat should be reputable, politically powerful and from an illustrious family.
John was from an illustrious family.
He was a businessman, without much political power.
He was well-known. Everyone was afraid of him. He didn't have a good reputation.
He was not reputable.
If he knew that the royal family of CM Island didn't like him, he would be humiliated.
"Trust me. If I were really a bad guy, I wouldn't have stayed with you. If you know I'm a bad guy, you won't let me go and must cut my hands and legs as punishment. I cherish my life and won't do such things." Nina almost raised her hand to swear. She was anxious and a little nifty.
Hearing this, John suddenly smiled.
Sometimes explanation was a cover, but sometimes explanation meant that she cared about him.
He knew that Nina cared about him.
However, it was unforgivable that she had been hiding her identity.
"I'm going to take a shower." He deliberately did not reply and his voice was emotionless, as a sign of minor punishment.
Nina reluctantly loosened her hands and pouted, "Okay."
She watched as John entered the bathroom and then there was the sound of shower.
Lying on the bed, Nina stared at the bare ceiling and kept sighing.
What did John mean?
Did he believe her or not?
It was easy for her to guess other people's thoughts. However, it was really difficult for her to think about John's thoughts.
She didn't know much about John, so she could only turn to the people who knew him a lot.
Nina picked up her phone and asked James in WeChat, "Do you know your uncle well?"
James seemed to have nothing to do and was always free. He replied immediately, "Yes, absolutely. What do you want to know? I promise I will tell you everything I know, but..."
"Aunt Nina, I have little money recently. Would you like to..."
Nina replied, "One hundred thousand."
"Okay, you can ask me whatever you want to know."
Nina became interested at once. She sat cross-legged on the bed and quickly described what happened just now, but didn't tell him things about her identity deliberately.
"I've told him everything sincerely. He just said he wanted to take a shower and didn't reply. In my opinion, he didn't seem to be angry. Do you think he believes me or not?"
"Of course! Uncle John must believe you. He has always cared about his face and won't tell you his inner thoughts directly. Calmly changing the topic means that he believes you."
James said, "Aunt Nina, trust me. I can guarantee it. I'm a reliable man."
