Only you in my love novel Chapter 435

On the eve of the wedding

Lexingport City endured another heavy snowfall, which blanketed the streets and eaves of the entire city with white.

This second snowfall was heavier than the first one, and the weather forecast had issued heavy snow warnings. The temperature in the city continued to fall from that night due to the glacial winds, and tomorrow was expected to be the coldest day this winter.

Nobody wanted to venture out into the bitterly cold night. Tomorrow afternoon, John and Vivian would be married on the open-air lawn of the Mist Water Park.

The weather wasn't cooperating.

Worried that the wedding might be delayed because of the inclement weather, Vivian asked the media to send inquiries. After getting the confirmation that the wedding ceremony would proceed as scheduled, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Vivian sat in her room, eagerly waiting for tomorrow to come.

This time, John was also looking forward to tomorrow's arrival.

The cold and expressionless man finally showed a gentle smile. His lips only curled slightly, but his loving family took notice of it.

James put down his bowl on the table with a clatter, anger burning in his eyes as he asked, "Uncle John, are you really happy to be marrying Vivian Ye? What about Aunt Nina? You know that Aunt Nina is still alive, but you don't go there to take her back! You're even marrying another woman!"

The smile on John's face disappeared. He wasn't angry that James openly challenged him. Instead, he said in a gentle tone, "Half a year has passed, but you haven't learned anything from me. You are still so impulsive."

"We're talking about Aunt Nina, not me. Don't change the topic." Indeed, it wasn't John's steadiness that he inherited—it was his competitive nature.

"James, let's eat." Sam didn't scold James. He sounded just as kind as he usually was. However, his voice sounded a little old and powerless tonight.

James could be really stubborn at times. With an angry glare at John, he demanded, "Why don't you go and take Aunt Nina back?"

"What makes you say that?" John met James' burning glare.

"Then why are you marrying someone else tomorrow?" James both feared and admired his uncle, but now, he felt disappointed that his hero was so irresponsible that he lost the love of his life.

John had nothing to say, so he only said, "Just eat."

"Coward," James hissed out and then stomped away from the dining room.

Ever since John had announced in Shi family that he was going to marry Vivian, his encounters with James had almost always ended on a sour note.

Since Emma was not here tonight, the task of comforting James fell on his sister's shoulders.

"James, wait for me!" Dora ran after James and held him back by the arm.

James angrily whirled around to face her. "Why are you following me? And where do you think you're putting your hand? A girl shouldn't hold a man's hand at will!"

"First of all, I am holding your arm, not your hand," Dora retorted. "Besides, you're my brother. I asked for Emma's approval—she told me that it was okay for me to hold your arm."

"Why don't you go find Roman and pull his arm?" James pretended to shake off Dora's hold. But in fact, he didn't really want her to let go of him.

Dora pouted her lips. In fact, she and Roman hadn't had the chance to sit down and have a chat. She didn't know if he still remembered her, who had bumped into him.

'Ugh, ' she thought with a pout.

"I won't pull Roman's arm because he is not as handsome as you. Besides being handsome, you're also very capable. Roman can't even compare with you." Dora shamelessly plied James with flattery.

Those words were exactly what James needed at the time. With a smug smile, he raised his chin and straightened his spine. "That's right, I'm better than Roman in every way."

Dora turned around and made an okay gesture toward the others. The others chuckled.

The siblings stepped out of the door. A gust of cold wind greeted them, and Dora cleverly jumped behind her brother to use his body as a shield.

"Why are you so nervous? You have met her parents a long time ago. You two will get married next spring." Dora tugged at James' sleeve.

James sighed, "It's all my fault. Other rich guys are brimming with self-confidence. I'm probably the only rich guy who lacks it. Emma's parents worry that I might cheat on her."

Dora shrugged. "Maybe there are too few good rich men these days."

"Can't I be one of them? If I were one of those horrible rich men, I would have already started being an asshole since I was young," James reasoned out defensively.

Dora whispered conspiratorially, "Actually, you've only become rich after you got famous. Before then, your pocket money was deducted from time to time."

James was speechless.

'Is she my sister or not? How can she mock me like that?!'

James shook off his sister's hand and strode away angrily, leaving Dora doubled over with laughter in the snow. She didn't even try to catch up with him before she could catch her breath.

About ten meters away from her, James stopped to wait for her.

Then, brother and sister left Stone Road together.

After the meal, Sam asked John to meet him in the study.

Sam looked at his tall, upright son and said, "I know everything."

"Okay." John was not surprised.

"Have you made up your mind?" Tears welled up in Sam's eyes.
