You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 407

Vicente was taken aback for a while, and then laughed. "I can get a wife and a baby at the same time. That's great."

Nina turned her head to look up at Vicente, who didn't seem to be joking. His expression confused her. "This doesn't bother you?"

"It doesn't matter." Vicente sat down and motioned for her to sit opposite him. Nina sat down slowly.

They looked into each other's eyes.

Vicente leaned back lazily. "I don't care. I will consider the baby inside you as my own flesh and blood and raise it as such."

Nina was even more confused by his response, but she remained outwardly calm. "I'm really starting to doubt if you are a man."

"You will find out once we get married." Vicente's eyes were incredibly beautiful. If one only looked at them, that person might be convinced that Vicente was a woman.

Although his words sounded frivolous, his eyes and his expression did not hold an evil, rakish charm—he looked as light and airy as a beautiful spring day.

Nina narrowed her eyes. She couldn't read anything from him except for his habit of repressing himself and yearning to be free.

Vicente was really good at hiding his emotions.

Nina remembered he was about 25 or 26 years old. She couldn't help but wonder why he was so sophisticated.

"It's true, I really am pregnant," Nina said frankly. "I won't let this child call another man its father."

"However, the child's father is not here, and you can't leave C Island." Vicente's tone was calm, like they were talking about something as commonplace as the weather. "You are unable to leave C Island, and anyone related to the Shi family is barred from the island."

Nina's spine froze, and her face held an arrested expression. "What do you mean?"

"Nina, waiting for him will be in vain." Vicente lowered his eyes and sighed so softly that only he could hear it.

He felt sorry for Nina because they shared the same experiences of having to do many things against their will.

"Your mom has given the order all over the country. No matter how capable your husband is, he won't be able to come to you within a year." Vicente stood up.

Although he didn't scale six feet, he was still much taller than Nina, and his stature was imposing. He looked like an insurmountable wall, and Nina couldn't ignore what he said next.

"It won't take a year for the public to find out that the princess is pregnant—only about three to four months.

Have you ever thought about how the public will receive the news that the princess has got pregnant outside of wedlock, and what trouble such news will bring to the royal family? It doesn't matter if you don't care about your reputation, but what about the royal family?

What's more, after the baby is born, it won't see its father. You know the impact it will be on the child if it grows up without the love and attention of a father."

Color drained from Nina's face, but Vicente didn't stop. Instead, he said in a blaming tone, "You can't be so heartless. You should learn to look at problems in your parents' shoes."

Nina was silent.

She lowered her eyes slightly, and her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. She seriously considered the meaning of Vicente's words.

What he said was reasonable, but it wasn't completely true.

The problem should be seen from both perspectives, and it wasn't just Nina who should do so.

Ever since her mother took her back, Nina found that her parents had changed their attitude towards her. In fact, they had already considered her point of view on these matters.

After finding out about her condition, her mother did not have her child aborted secretly, nor did she force her to marry Vicente. Instead, the queen asked her to try to get along with him.

Nina touched the baby in her belly and couldn't help the loving smile that crossed her face.

"Vicente, what can you promise me?"
