You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 142

Everyone was speechless.

The media people present looked at Nina in astonishment. They were so taken aback that they even forgot to take photos.

They were confused. Why did Nina say that John was ugly? Everyone knew that John was one of the most handsome men in the city.

"Give those back to me." John took back the marriage licenses with an annoyed face.

He had not forgiven Sam for choosing the ugliest photo of him and having it edited onto the wedding photo.

And now that Nina had seen the photo, his anger boiled over. He wanted to hurt somebody just to make himself feel better.

He was ashamed and displeased.

"Let me have another look at the photo," Nina insisted, reaching for the licenses in John's hand. This was the first time that Nina had seen John embarrassed.

"No way!" John replied, holding the licenses in the air out of Nina's reach.

"Come on! Let me just see it one more time!"

Under the watchful eyes of the people around, John grabbed Nina's head with his free hand and leaned in.

Then, he kissed Nina.

One second passed. Then two. And then three.

The media people snapped back to their senses and began taking photos. They were so excited that the hall instantly looked like an open field being struck by lightning because of the camera flashes.

It was the scoop of the century and would definitely break the headlines tomorrow.

With blinding pain in her heart, Vivian watched the man she loved kiss another woman in front of everybody who had expected him to propose to her tonight. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails started digging into her palms.

She could do nothing but just watch helplessly.

'It's my birthday party, yet all the focus is on you, Nina.

You have stolen Brother John as well as everybody's attention from me.

You won't get away with this. Someday, I will take back everything I lost tonight.'

The banquet hall was filled with the sound of everyone's collective gasp and cameras clicking wildly. Nina wanted to struggle, but her knees had turned to jelly the instant John's lips made contact with hers. The elders quietly left the function while the young ones stuck around to watch as if they were in a live drama.

Nina spoke as soon as John let go to take a breath. "John, can you let go of me, please?"

Instead of answering, John kissed her once again. Nina's heart almost stopped when he started tracing her bottom lip with his tongue. Sparks flew inside of her like a short circuiting power station.

John kissed her several times. He alternated between soft and passionate kisses. It almost drove Nina out of her wits.

At the moment, she felt like she had always been a treasure to John.

Her heart started pounding against her chest.

'John is my husband. I didn't cheat on him. So I don't have to pay for twenty million dollars!' she thought to herself.

She let herself sink in John's sweet kisses. She sunk so deeply that she forgot about the photo completely.

John smiled slightly against Nina's soft lips, feeling pleased that she was now under his spell.

When the kiss was about to end and John was about to let go of her, Nina suddenly opened her eyes and pushed him away.

What the hell was she doing just now?

How could she enjoy John's kiss in front of so many people?

Glancing around at the crowd and the media, Nina felt her face grow hot with shame. Her lips still felt swollen after spending some time pressing and moving against John's.

She turned to look at John who was smiling down at her.

Nina immediately averted her gaze, turned around, and ran away. John had guessed that she would attempt to escape, but he was not worried at all because it was impossible for her to run away from him. He put his hands in his pockets and lazily watched Nina flee.

Nina kept running and did not look back. She just needed to get out of the banquet hall. She did not need this many eyes on her.
