You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 381

Sitting on the reef, Vivian was enjoying the sea breeze when she heard the footsteps behind her. No amount of darkness could hide her sinister smile.

"Nina, do you miss home?" Vivian asked in a soft voice, staring ahead with fiery eyes. "If your family came to take you home, would you go back?"

Nina could sense Vivian's strange behavior. She acted as if she was talking with a long lost friend. It didn't feel like her usual self.

"No, I wouldn't," Nina said firmly. "I will always be where John is."

"Yes, you are always at his side but right now you are here and he's not." With a gentle smile, Vivian stood up and looked at Nina.

They had both been in the dark for some time so their eyes had adjusted and they could see each other.

Even in the dark, Nina still radiated an unmistakable energy that only made Vivian's jealousy rage even greater.

She only blamed herself for not having a life as good as Nina's. She wasn't born in the royal family, nor was she as beautiful as Nina.

Since Nina had so many things, losing John might be a small matter.

Vivian's eyes were riddled with a sea of emotions. She looked at Nina for a while and said, "Nina, aren't you curious why Brother John didn't come with you?"

To be honest, Nina was actually curious.

However, she was hoping that John would tell her and not some random person.

"I don't need him to be by my side all the time." Nina stared at Vivian calmly, and the latter smiled mockingly.

Ignoring her, Nina said bluntly, "Tell me what you want?"

Vivian shook her head and said pitifully, "It seems he didn't tell you anything. I thought he wouldn't hide anything from you. It seems that I have overestimated his love for you. My last struggle might actually end up being my rebirth."

Her rising confidence baffled Nina. "Everyone has secrets. What's so odd about that?"

The smile on Vivian's face froze.

'Doesn't she care?

Is this nonchalant attitude just an act?'

"A couple shouldn't keep secrets from each other." Vivian scoffed on the inside. She thought that every woman would go mad if her husband was keeping secrets from her. She couldn't accept that Nina didn't care. She be putting on an act just to try and seem calm.

"Vivian, have you been married before?"

Puzzled, Vivian looked at Nina's smirk and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You have never been married. You don't know anything about couples." Nina couldn't deal with this vile woman anymore. She regretted ever coming to meet her.

"Vivian, once you get married, then you can come back and have this conversation. Don't pretend like you have it all figured out."

"You..." Vivian's face turned pale and she was once again left speechless.

The whole point of this meeting was to make Nina jealous but Vivian wasn't expecting such a calamitous backfire.

Vivian thought, 'Nina, since you want to act so high and mighty, don't blame me for retaliating.'

"I want to make a bet with you." Vivian stopped Nina before she could leave.

"A bet? Why should I make a bet with you? What do I gain from that? It's boring."

Nina was fed up with her nonsense.

Nina stood motionless. Her eyes gradually deepened into endless black pits. Vivian had swayed her mind.

They both looked at each other but lost in their separate thoughts.

As the rain grew heavier, they could clearly feel the coldness of the rain on their skin.

Nina's phone buzzed.

John was calling.

This call was enough to make all hesitation disappear. How could she doubt John?

Nina shook off Vivian's hand and answered the phone.

"Honey, it's raining." The man's deep voice resonated through the phone. John was anxiously looking for Nina.

"Find a place to hide from the rain. Don't be afraid. I'm coming to get you right now." Nina was just nervous that John would be afraid. She didn't care about herself, only John.

Seeing that her plan was about to fail, Vivian had no other choice. She held Nina in her arms and dropped them both into the sea.

"Ah!" Nina let out a cry. Her voice passed through the phone and filled John's ears.

"What's wrong?" John looked up nervously, only to see nothing but darkness.

He could hear nothing but the splashing water through the phone.

The sound was like a time machine, bringing him back to his tenth birthday. Fear immediately spread through his limbs. His body gradually stiffened and his slightly pale lips were left ajar. He wanted to scream but no words could make it out of his petrified body.

Through his quivering fingers, his phone slipped to the ground.
