You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 198

Noah hesitated for a while and looked away. Looking at the people coming and going in front of him, he closed his eyes and finally agreed.

"Okay."

"I will only give you three days. If you can't prove Mr. John's innocence three days later, I will go to find Mr. John myself." Noah's voice sounded a little helpless. The one who died was his aunt. His aunt loved him the most in the world. He was more anxious to find out the truth than anyone else.

'But Ninja is also the one Kristina likes.

Three days, three days, is my greatest tolerance.'

Nina was very grateful to Noah and bowed solemnly. "Thank you, Noah."

In fact, she didn't dare to think that she could solve the case in three days.

But she had no choice. She had to find out the truth.

She must... To clear up the suspicion of John.

After getting Noah's nod, the first thing Nina did was to contact John. She needed to know where John had been last night, especially during the time from nine o'clock to half past nine.

She called John several times and sent him several WeChat messages, but she couldn't get in touch with him as she wished.

Nina had to go back to North Yard to try her luck.

When she returned to North Yard, it was noon. Helen had only prepared lunch for her, which meant that John didn't come back this noon.

"Did John come back this morning?" Nina asked anxiously.

"No." Helen shook her head. She didn't know that Mr. John didn't go back to North Yard last night, but worried that Nina was hungry, so she took Nina to the table and said, "Mrs. Nina, it's time for lunch. Mr. John may be busy today, so he can't come back to have lunch with you. You should eat more even you are alone."

With something on her mind, Nina was not in the mood to eat at all. She continued to ask, "Helen, did he come back last night?"

"Mr. John is back. He just sat there for a few minutes and then went out again." Last night, when John came back, Helen happened to see him. She didn't come up to him because he let Amy and Lena to him.

"He came back last night? what time? What time was it last night? " Nina remembered that when she came back, there was no one in the hall, and John was not in the study or bedroom.

Besides, she stayed on the sofa for the whole night, and John didn't come back.

Helen answered truthfully, "About eight o'clock in the evening. He went out a few minutes after he came back."

"He went out at about eight o'clock. Where would he go?" Nina asked thoughtfully, "Helen, do you know where he went after he left last night?"

"I don't know. Mrs. Nina, if you want to know, you can ask Mr. John. He will definitely tell you." Helen smiled happily, but Nina's face gradually turned pale.

He went out at about eight o'clock. It took him more than half an hour to get to West Forest Street from here.

'No, it's impossible.'

Nina felt that she was woolgathering. She shook her head, shook off this unrealistic idea, and turned around to go out.

She could directly ask John about this.

He was not in North Yard. He was probably in the company.

"Mrs. Nina, don't you have the meal?" Helen was cleaning up the garbage in the trash can and was about to take it out and throw it out.

Mr. John was a clean man. There was a rule in North Yard that they had to clean up the trash can at noon and at night every day.

Helen caught up with Nina in a hurry and knocked over the trash can by accident. But Helen had no time to care about it.

A pink square jewelry box fell out and rolled to the side of the carpet.

"Mrs. Nina, you must eat on time, or Mr. John will punish us if he knows that. For the sake of me, who is more than 40 years old, you should have lunch first." Helen pulled her back and continued, "Mrs. Nina, even if you miss Mr. John, you have to eat. Only when you are full can you have more strength to miss him, don't you think so?"

All of a sudden, Nina was amused by Helen's words. Her tensed nerves relaxed a lot. She thought what Helen said was reasonable. It wouldn't be late to see him after lunch.

After taking a few steps, Nina caught a glimpse of the pink box on the ground. The logo on it made her feel familiar.

It seemed that the pearl coconut tree bracelet also had the same brand logo.

"Helen, wait!" Nina stopped and asked Helen to let go of her hand. Nina squatted forward and picked up the box. When she clearly saw the logo, she frowned.
