You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 16

"Nothing, I didn't see anything at all." Jason avoided John's gaze with a guilty conscience, as if he really didn't see anything and knew nothing.

John was a little satisfied after hearing his response. While enduring the pain in his head, he straightened his clothes in a serious manner, pretending as if nothing had happened.

He couldn't, at all costs, bear to lose face.

However, his anger towards Nina had reached extreme limits. He had made up his mind that he would find another good opportunity to take his revenge on her in the future.

Nina was a beauty he could not ignore, but unfortunately, she had done such unforgivable things.

In many ways, they somehow had a lot of similarities.

"Do you need to go to the hospital? I can bring you there," suggested Jason. As John's brother-in-law, he felt that he had an obligation and responsibility to take care of John's well-being. If something really bad were to happen to John, he would never have a peaceful day at home.

John raised his head then and glared at him with a forbidding look, which made Jason immediately shut up. It was fine then, if John really wanted to insist that nothing had happened. If that was the case, why would there be a need to go to the hospital?

"Do not make a mountain out of a molehill," John sneered with a cold, dismissive snort and reached out his hand to touch his head. Without a doubt, it was a little painful. But in order to save face, he had to endure it silently without any complaint. He felt a sharp pain in his chest as he held his pent-up anger within.

Enraged, he shouted fiercely, "Ask James to come over here now!"

"Okay, I'll call him up." Jason picked up his phone and dialed James' phone number. "James, John wants you to come to the hotel immediately. Pronto, right now."

"What?" Unable to hold his scream and with legs trembling, James tried in vain to recall if he had done something wrong.

Why was John suddenly asking him to meet up with him in such a hurry? Was there something wrong with the hotel reservation that he booked? Gosh! It was a wide-known fact that John would not hold back when he was angry and nobody would be able to stop him from doing terrible things.

James immediately pushed the girl in his arms away, picked up his coat and ran out of the bar with great haste. He rushed to the hotel as fast as he could, as if he was taking part on a marathon race. The atmosphere in the hotel room gradually changed and became more and more subtle. Outside the window, the neon lights were flashing brightly, and the heating in the room was sufficient and warm. However, the coldness in John's heart intensified by the second and could not be dispelled.

He was lying on the sofa, his face livid with uncontrolled rage. Out of his own volition, his left hand inadvertently touched the beaten part of his head. His overbearing persona prevented any stranger to get close to him.

Even his brother-in-law didn't dare to get close to him.

"John, who called you honey in the elevator just now?" Jason inquired as he tried to break the embarrassing atmosphere. The ambiance in the room was so weird that he carefully tried to change the topic in hopes of pacifying John's anger.

Jason was reminded of the voice of the girl he had heard on the phone a while ago. Instead of erupting in anger, John paused for a moment in contemplation. Jason was left wondering if John might have a crush on the girl.

Would talking about her make John feel better?

However, to Jason's utter surprise, the livid face of John became even darker. John slowly turned his head and stared at Jason indignantly, which made Jason shiver in fear. For a moment, Jason was left speechless and could not do anything as he sat quietly aside.

After a long time, John gritted his teeth and replied sarcastically, "She is the girl you met just now."

Was the girl who hit John the same girl who called him honey?

Jason and John grew up together and knew each other well. They had a tacit understanding, and it was not difficult for Jason to understand what John really meant to say. Jason couldn't keep his curiosity in check and whispered to himself, "Who could that girl be?"

Jason had no intention of letting John hear his mumbling, but the room was too quiet, thus making his murmurs audible to John.

"She was sent to me by James."

"Was she the surprise that James gave you the day you came back from abroad?"

"Yes, she was."

"And you slept with her?"

"Yes, I did."

"Then she called you honey?"
