You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 396

The next day,

Scher mountain felt like a warzone.

The guards and servants tried to keep as low a profile as possible and didn't dare to speak loudly.

Bruce and Anne had a monumental fight.

"Anyway, we can't force our daughter to marry into the Nangong family. She doesn't like Vicente," Bruce said firmly, turning his back to his wife.

He couldn't bring himself to look at his wife while he shouted at her.

Anne sneered and sat elegantly on the sofa. She picked up a cup of coffee and sipped it. "What's the point of saying that now? Whose suggestion was it? Who picked Vicente? But now you want to blame me all of a sudden?"

Bruce guiltily said, "I regret that now. I just don't want my daughter to marry Vicente. I take what I said back."

"Regret?" Anne raised her head to look at her husband. He still had his back to her as she shook her head. "People can take back their words, but not you. Why didn't you think about your daughter's feelings when you initially wanted her to marry Vicente?"

"I..." Bruce was speechless. He turned around and looked at the woman who was sitting on the sofa and leisurely drinking her coffee. He stormed over to her, grabbed the coffee cup and took a sip.

Anne sighed and asked a servant to get her another cup.

After taking a sip of coffee, Bruce managed to calm himself. "I made a deal with Vicente in order to draw the Nangong family over to our side. I had no choice but to gamble on my daughter's marriage."

"Then what can we do now? If you want Vicente to work for you, you have to give him the lofty position he wants in the Nangong family. There is no other way except let Nina marry him." The servant hadn't brought Anne her new cup of coffee yet so she grabbed the coffee from her husband's hand and sat next to him.

Anne continued, "If it weren't for you and for the whole of C Island, I wouldn't have bothered Nina. She doesn't even talk to me anymore. Rebecca even tried to defend me but Nina didn't care for it."

As a parent, how could Anne not love her children? But she was the queen and she had many things to consider.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Bruce sat there quietly.

After a spell of silence, he asked, "Can you ask Vicente to cancel the marriage?"

"No." Anne glanced at him coldly. "You know that Vicente is having a hard time in his family. If he doesn't marry Nina, then the Nangong family won't be in his control, and their power will not be under our control. What are you going to do if that happens?"

This problem had troubled them and Vicente for many years, and they hadn't figured out how to fix it. Now, Nina was the only answer.

"But Nina doesn't like Vicente." That simple aspect plagued Bruce.

Anne was well aware of that as well.

However they couldn't control everything around them. There were many things that they were completely helpless to, even though they wanted to change them.

"Nina has only known John for half a year. How deep can their relationship really be?" Anne started explaining. "Nina doesn't like Vicente because they haven't met each other yet. Didn't I also dislike you before we met? If they get along with each other, then that's all that matters.

You know Vicente is so handsome. Also, how many people can hold the position of a count at such a young age? There's no better pick than him on C Island. He is the cream of the crop."

"Our son is also excellent." Bruce had always been very proud of Leon.

Anne sneered, "That's because he's like you."

This wasn't exactly what Bruce wanted to hear. He turned around and confronted his wife. "Is something wrong with that? He is handsome, smart, proud and royal. He is sensible and doesn't need us to take care of him."
