You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 140

The contents of the marriage license were exposed in front of everyone. The warm yellow light from the luxurious and gorgeous crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling bounced off them beautifully. The light was so dazzling that it blinded everyone in the hall.

Nina was standing in front of John who was less than half a meter away. At this time, her eyes were fixed on the two licenses on the floor. One was open while the other was closed.

The big, bold letters at the top said "Marriage License."

The open one had John's name on it as its holder.

The marriage license had a wedding photo attached to it. In the photo, there was a messy-looking man with an unfathomable expression on his face and a beautiful, brightly smiling woman.

Nina frowned. She found the photo a bit strange, especially the woman in it. Why did she feel like the woman in the photo looked like her?

But she could not be sure.

Nina kept calm, but she was beginning to be a little suspicious. Maybe she was just imagining it. How could she be in a wedding photo with John anyway? Just because she had owned up to her feelings for him did not mean they were actually married.

It was impossible and, truth be told, downright crazy.

'This is just an illusion,' she thought to herself.

She closed her eyes and prayed deep in her heart that she would wake up from all of this when she opened them again. It did not work. When she opened her eyes, she still saw the marriage licenses and the photo. Her heart started racing.

She went to pick up the license to have a closer look.

"It turns out that you're also married, John," Nina murmured, crouching down dejectedly to pick up the marriage license.

Henry was watching John the entire time. He took a deep breath and thought, 'Mr. Shi is only thirty years old. Why is his hand shaking wildly?'

John had not recovered from being stunned.

Why did the marriage licenses fall? One of them was even open for everyone to see. How did they end up where they were?

"Stop." Returning to his senses, John decided to stop Nina from picking up the licenses. A look of bewilderment and anxiety flashed through his eyes. The copy in his hand fell and Jessica grabbed it.

John would never let Nina see the photo.

When Nina backed away, John took the opportunity to pick up the marriage licenses.

"Stop, John," Nina said coldly. She tilted her head and looked at John with sharp eyes. Her command made him tremble. The marriage licenses were already in his hands, and she looked at them with a fierce expression on her face.

Everyone present was shocked and stared at Nina. How dare she yell at John? What was the relationship between them?

Jessica was also shocked by the situation. Before she was able to look at the copy in her hand, anger started burning in her eyes. How dare Nina yell at her brother? Did she not know who she was speaking to?

She was John's sister, and she did not speak to him like that.

"Nina, how dare—"

"Give those to me. I want to see them." Nina looked at John straight in the eye. She was not really asking. She was demanding to see the licenses. She did not care if she was in front of so many people. If she was really the woman in the photo, she had the right to know.

Her eyes darted from John's face to the licenses in his hands. She waited calmly for John to hand them over.

John was married, and she was in the photo of his marriage license.

If her eyesight had not failed her, everything would change between her and John. After all the charade and tiptoeing around, she was his wife, and he was her husband who she had never met before.

John was speechless. At this moment, panic was visible on his handsome face. His entire body was stiff like a piece of wood, and he could not look straight at Nina.

Gloom started clouding his face.

Nina wanted to see the marriage certificates, but he didn't want her to see the photo. He was so ugly in the photo.

John hated his father even more. He held the marriage licenses tighter and tighter.

Should he give them to her? Or not?

He had never been so torn.

"I said give them to me!" Nina was angry now. John had never heard her use that voice before.

What should he do?
