Only you in my love novel Chapter 401

If her mother managed to take the watch away from her, Nina would have no way of contacting John ever again.

If she couldn't contact John, then she was afraid she wouldn't be able to wait for him to come and fetch her.

Anne remained unmoved by her daughter's pleas. The bodyguards forcefully pulled on Nina's last finger. With the last line of defense broken, they took away the thing that Nina was protecting with all her might.

One of the bodyguards handed the watch to Anne.

The other let Nina go.

Nina sank down to the floor, her strength gone. She hadn't seen John for only a week, but she couldn't bear it anymore. Now that her watch was taken away, she wouldn't be able to contact him anymore. How could she stand it?

"Mom, please give me back the watch." Nina's eyes turned red, and she rushed toward Anne and clung to her arm. "Mom, I beg you. I can't live without him. I will go crazy if I can't contact him."

Anne's understanding of Nina was limited to what she could remember from two years ago, so her threats seemed empty.

In Anne's memory, her daughter had never been such a sentimental person. How could she go crazy because of a man?

"Nina, you are still young. You don't know what love is." Anne brushed off Nina's hands and reached out to pat her head. "Don't talk nonsense. Have a good sleep. When you get better, I'll ask Vicente to take you out for a walk."

'No, that's wrong.

I know what love is.

John has taught me what love is.'

With tears in her eyes, Nina shook her head. "Mom, I don't like Vicente. The man I am in love with is John. Please don't do this to me."

Anne's temper flared up as soon as she heard the man's name. How dared he teach her daughter to cry!

Where was the strong, brave Nina?

"I am doing this for your own good," Anne scoffed. "Stop saying all the time that you love this John! What's so good about him that you miss him so much? Is it because he used to treat you well? It's easy to replace his kindness to you. What if, one day, he treats you shabbily?"

"No, he won't." Nina shook her head firmly. "He won't."

"You are not him. How do you know what he will or won't do? If you bet your happiness for the rest of your life on the fact that a man treats you well, then you lose. Once he starts treating you like trash, you end up with nothing," Anne admonished her daughter angrily.

"Besides, I won't let you marry a man so far away from home." After saying these words, Anne swept out of the bedroom, leaving Nina to weep alone.

Tears welled up in her eyes and overflowed. Nina raised her hand and wiped them away, but more tears started falling as she did so. She just stopped wiping.

Anne stood outside the door and waited until she could no longer hear any movement. She quietly pushed the door in and stepped inside her daughter's room once more.

Lying prone on the edge of the bed, Nina fell asleep exhausted, her tear tracks fresh on her face.

Anne sighed at the pitiful sight. She bent down to move Nina to the center of the bed, tucked her in gently, and wiped the tears from her face with a hot towel.

The sensation of the warm towel against her skin made Nina smack her lips and call out, "Honey..."

Anne stopped wiping and looked down at Nina, a flash of pain in her eyes.

Her daughter had really grown up.

Nina was no longer a girl who knew nothing about life and love—she had now blossomed into an elegant young woman.

In Lexingport City

When James opened his eyes in the morning, he reached out to touch his phone, as was his wont, opened WeChat, and sent a voice message to Emma.

"Good morning, honey."

"Good morning, James. Remember to have breakfast." Emma went out to work with the crew again. This time, there was still no scenes for the male supporting role, so the two of them had to live apart temporarily.
