You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 387

The others' expressions turned sour. James wasn't aware of what had happened last night, so he said excitedly, "Really? You proposed to Aunt Nina last night? Tell me. Did you bring Aunt Nina to tears?"

James glanced around the room but couldn't find Nina.

"Why isn't Aunt Nina here?" As soon as James asked, he felt a hushed chill smother the room. His mother glared at him hoping that he'd stop talking.

"Didn't Uncle John tell Aunt Nina what had happened to Grandpa?" asked James, confused.

"No, I didn't," John said. "I didn't... want her to worry."

John wanted to say that he didn't have the time to tell Nina, but he changed his mind.

The moment someone told John that his little girl had fallen into the sea, his heart desired nothing more than saving her. The shadow of the past was like a huge iron chain, tying him to the spot.

He tried his best to break free, but he couldn't.

However, bad news came from Lexingport City. Richard dragged him into the helicopter, leaving only Amy looking for Nina.

John was completely dazed and with the past still haunting him, his judgment was clouded.

He knew that Nina was an incredible swimmer so she was going to be safe no matter what. And in the end, Amy was there anyway.

He felt relieved that Nina would be fine. But then, the fact that he had to divorce him made him frown again.

Divorce...

That word felt like knife piercing his soul. He shuddered just thinking about it.

"Thank God." James took a deep breath. "Fortunately, my Dad called while I was on the phone with Aunt Nina, or I would have spilled the beans. Uncle John would have probably killed me. Right, honey?"

James really enjoyed calling Emma "honey" these days.

Since they got engaged, that was like her new name. Emma was quite used to it by now.

"Yeah. As long as Grandpa is healthy, everything will be fine."

"Grandpa will be fine. He is waiting to see his great-grandson after all." James looked at Emma's flat belly with a cunning smile.

Emma pushed him and blushed.

Last night, before James and Emma could enjoy their first time, they received the bad news and rushed to the hospital.

"James, don't talk nonsense! There are so many people here!" Emma pulled his wrist to stop him from talking nonsense.

Looking at them, Sam assumed it wouldn't be long before he could hold his great-grandson.

John didn't care about this frivolous chatter. He need to know what James had told Nina. "When did my wife call you?"

"I don't remember the exact time but I cut the call fairly quickly. My dad called me before we could talk about much."

With a frown, John continued, "When did your dad call you?"

James scratched his head and said, "You have to ask him."

James was a little preoccupied then. He didn't really care about checking the time.

Daniel said, "I didn't inform James until I informed you."

According to that, his little girl called James after he got on the helicopter. He realized that Nina probably couldn't get in touch with him.

At least he knew that meant Nina was fine.

"Did she sound different when she called you?" John asked worriedly.

James waved his hand and said, "Well, nothing unusual. Aunt Nina only ever calls me when she wants to know something about you or she wants to talk to my wife. I'm fairly used to it so it's not unusual."

"What did she ask?" John couldn't stand not knowing every single detail. It plagued him.

"She asked me if you were afraid of the rain." James didn't notice that John's eyes turned sharp. He continued, "I told her that you were not afraid of rain."
