Only you in my love novel Chapter 491

John came back to the castle. He would be living with Nina under the same roof.

This time around, he changed his state of mind.

John's room was next to the children's. Vicente had designed the rooms in such a way that John would be able to quickly get to the children if they need him. The wall dividing the rooms was actually a hidden door without any sound insulation.

If the kids woke up or made any sound, John would be able to hear them easily.

When John took off his mask, he heard Nina putting the children to sleep.

"Van, Don, be good boys, okay? Mommy's going to sing to you and then let's all take a nap." Lying on her side, Nina propped her head upon her left hand. She looked at the children gently.

The two children both had beautiful amber eyes, just like hers.

When Nina gazed at the children, she seemed to see herself when she was just a child. A warm, gentle smile appeared on her face. Patting their heads, she sang to them gently. "Rock-a-bye, baby, in the tree top. When the wind blows the cradle will rock..."

Her soft, sweet voice filled the room.

Motherhood agreed well with Nina. Since giving birth to the kids, she was always sweet and loving.

Van and Don grinned. The children's pleasant laughter added to the beautiful melody of the song.

Nina's singing was as gentle as a lamb. John leaned against the wall and listened to Nina sing. He couldn't help but smile as Nina sang to the children. The warmth of her voice filled his heart.

He listened until the song slowly turned into a hum before it stopped altogether.

After a few moments, John quietly opened the door and went inside the room. He glanced over the bed with the guardrails.

He saw the children huddled together.

Treading gently, he walked towards them. Van and Don opened their eyes. One waved his hands while the other moved his feet occasionally. They were not sleepy at all.

John couldn't help but laugh. "Nina may be the only one in the world who sang herself to sleep."

Don and Van grinned at him and narrowed their eyes into slits.

John smiled at them. "Shh! Don't wake up your mom."

The babies were only over a month old so they couldn't control their emotions yet. They laughed heartily as John drew nearer to them.

Their mischievous laughter disturbed Nina. Her face wrinkled slightly as if she was about to wake up.

John lay on the floor like a thief and covered his mouth to stop himself from gasping. He listened intently, waiting to see if Nina was going to wake up.

"Be good." With her eyes closed, Nina fumbled around on the bed. She didn't go back to sleep until she was sure that the kids were there.

John relaxed a bit when he heard Nina's steady breathing. He got up, and for a while, watched her as she slept peacefully. He kissed her gently on the forehead before turning back.

When Nina woke up from her nap, the two children were still sleeping soundly.

She quietly swept her blanket to the side and got out of bed. When she opened the door, she saw a tall figure standing nearby. "Your Highness," he said to her.

She was a bit startled to see him there.

She instantly recognized his eyes which were able to give her a headache.

"Phew..." Nina breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly closed the door and turned to John. "So, you can talk?"
