You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 376

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon when Nina arrived in Spring City. The scorching summer sun was glaring in the sky, golden hues settled over the floor, glinting through the glass window.

Carrying a small backpack on her back, Nina went back to her villa with her hands empty. The first thing she did was throw herself into the big bed and have a good rest.

The sea breeze gently blew the gauze curtains, and the shimmering moonlight shined on Nina's soft bed. She was sleeping soundly.

The calm sea glistened in the moonlight. A cruise ship, with the logo of the royal family of C Island, was slowly heading for Spring City, guided by the soft light of the night.

On the deck of the cruise ship stood a woman with blonde hair. She was tall, and her amber eyes were even colder than the moonlight. Her lips were as red as blood.

This gorgeous woman was Anne, Nina's mother. She used to be an international movie queen, but she had been out of the business for years. She was the queen of C Island.

The forty-five-year-old queen was well-groomed. At first glance, she appeared to be a twenty-year-old, fair-skinned girl.

She was absorbed in the dark of the night, enjoying the gentle breeze. She didn't come to her senses until she heard footsteps behind her.

"Your Majesty, are you missing Princess Nina?" The speaker was Anne's personal assistant, Rebecca. She stood beside Anne and gazed at the boundless sea. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. You will see her soon."

Nina was as cold as her mother. Most people respected and loved the two, but they didn't dare get too close to them. In fact, there was little communication between mother and daughter.

There was no denying the fact that Anne loved her children very much. But she had been too busy to accompany them. Thus, mother and daughter were not that close.

"Nina has been gone for two years. I miss her so much." Anne's eyes filled with longing and helplessness. "Rebecca, Leon said Nina made friends in Spring City and got married."

She knew clearly why her daughter had run away from home back then. Anne had wanted to turn a blind eye to it and let Nina explore the outside world. She had thought her daughter would eventually come back and give in to the idea of an arranged marriage.

However, things hadn't gone as Anne had expected. Nina enjoyed life outside of C Island and had no intention of returning to her family.

How could the princess of C Island live anywhere else?

A week ago, when Nina's parents had learnt about this, Anne had all but flown into a rage. She wanted to ask her people to bring Nina back to C Island and denounce the marriage.

Leon had knelt down in front of his parents and told them about Nina's happy life in Lexingport City. Their anger was pacified and Anne decided that she would bring her daughter back herself.

After all this came to light, Anne realized why she had been unable to find her daughter's whereabouts. It turned out that Leon was helping his sister hide from their parents.

In a fit of anger, Anne sent Leon and Wynn to study in another country. She didn't allow him to contact Nina, and even cut him off financially.

Therefore, when Leon left C Island, he couldn't contact his sister and warn her that their mother was coming to get her.

Now that he was abroad, he could do nothing but worry for his sister.

"She has friends. I'm happy for her, but I don't want her to marry someone casually." Anne was a strict mother. She placed many restrictions on her children's behaviors.
