Only you in my love novel Chapter 421

John's words were like a stone thrown into a river.

People who knew the truth were hesitant. They wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.

"Uncle John, were you so happy for Dora that you put your foot in your mouth?" James asked with a fake smile.

"Are you serious, Uncle John?" Neither Emma nor James knew what had happened, but unlike James, she did not fake a smile. Instead, she looked at John straight in the eye and waited for his answer.

Dora called out timidly, "Uncle John..."

John glanced at his family and said, "I'll marry Vivian."

He would not make the same mistake twice. If he did, then it was no longer a mistake but a choice.

Sam's face slowly darkened.

"No, you're not."

"I'm not asking for permission. The wedding is set on January 23rd, the day before Lunar New Year's Eve." John's voice was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

And that pool of stagnant water made everyone unhappy.

With his emotions getting the better of him, James shot up from his seat and said, "Aunt Nina's only been gone for half a year, Uncle John. How could you already marry someone else?"

"She's still alive." A flash of conviction lit up John's eyes. He raised his head and corrected James.

James felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the coldness in John's eyes.

Emma held James' hand and reminded him, "Mimi said that Nina isn't dead. She was just taken home."

"I knew. I was just too worried to mind my words," said James. "Uncle John, since you knew it, why would you betray Aunt Nina?"

Emma nodded in agreement and asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to marry someone else, Uncle John?"

'Because I have to keep my promise,'

John answered in his mind, remaining expressionless.

"Adults have their reasons for doing things. You kids shouldn't interfere," Jessica cut in. She did not like seeing her brother being grilled like this.

"We're not trying to get involved in this as kids, Aunt Jessica. We're asking as Aunt Nina's friends." The fact that James talked back to her just like that embarrassed Jessica.

She was losing her position in this family.

Angela did not want the conversation to turn for the worse, so she said, "All right, all right. It's New Year's Day, everybody. It's not easy for Chester to come home from B City. Let's just have a quiet dinner and enjoy one another's company."

The reason why she mentioned Chester was that he was also one of the people in the know. Although he was still young, he had a say in the family.

Chester understood Angela's intention and said, "James, Uncle John has his reasons to do so. As his family, we should support him, not criticize him."

'His reasons?'

Emma thoughtfully looked into Chester's eyes. Chester and Nina had spent a long time together, and in the family, he liked Nina the most. He did not speak for Nina this time, but supported John. There must be a reason for that.

Emma glanced at the others and found that except for Sam, Dora and James who were obviously angry, the others gazed at John guiltily.

"Let's eat dinner first, James." Emma squeezed James' hand, calming him down. She took a glance at everyone else and sensed something unusual.
