You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 433

Julie was also shocked. She kept patting the back of her daughter's hand nervously in an attempt to comfort her daughter or simply to calm herself down.

But she’d lived longer than Vivian and had experienced more things after all, so she quickly regained her composure.

"Don't panic.

Tell me what happened this afternoon from the beginning to the end. Tell me everything Mr. Shi said to you," Julie said in a coaxing tone.

Vivian held onto her mother's hand tightly as if she was holding onto a lifeline and frantically started to narrate everything she remembered in detail.

The more she spoke, the more hysterical she became. "Before he left, he said that he’ll give me an unforgettable wedding. Mom, I have a hunch there’s a deeper meaning to his words. What should I do?"

"Vivi, calm down. Take a deep breath." After the initial shock, Julie was now able to keep her calm. She smoothed her daughter's hair gently, trying to appease her. "Trust me, Mr. Shi hasn't found anything."

"No! He must’ve known everything!" Vivian exclaimed, looking visibly distraught. "He deliberately asked those two men to come and act in front of me. It proved that he must’ve already known about the matter! He was warning me!"

"At most, he might suspect that we sent those men with Rh-negative blood away and used the opportunity to negotiate with him. He definitely knows nothing about us being the ones who told Sam about Jessica's divorce." Julie patted her daughter's hand gently, continuously trying to calm her down.

"Besides, nothing can prove that we’re behind Nina's return to C Island. Her parents have been looking for her for two years. Now that they’ve found her, they’d naturally bring her back. It's not strange that Nina went back to C Island. Don't worry."

Julie’s logical analysis and calm tone finally soothed Vivian. Her grip on Julie’s hand gradually loosened.

"You’re being paranoid." Julie sighed, took the half-drunk glass of warm water on the table, and put it in Vivian’s hands. "Drink this and take a deep breath."

Vivian held the glass in her hands but didn't do anything else. Her eyes were gazing blankly at the carpet.

As the saying went, "A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder." Once a person did something wrong, they would get frightened easily.

Vivian was frightened now. As her wedding date approached, the restless feeling she had in her heart also grew stronger and stronger. She was even starting to have nightmares.

Her nerves had been constantly taut these days. Although some of John’s words and deeds today made her feel extremely excited, she didn’t dare to put her guard down.

She was afraid that once she relaxed, she would be careless and accidentally say or do something that disclosed her secret.

John had been investigating what happened half a year ago, and Vivian, fearing that her deeds would come to light, had no other choice but to pay close attention to everything around her.

But other than that, the only thing she could do was to wait—wait for either John's love or John's child, whichever came first. That way, even if the truth was exposed, John wouldn't abandon her.

If everything failed, she could still count on Nina.

She knew that there was a marriage waiting for Nina on C Island, but she didn't know whether it had been carried out or not. In fact, she hadn’t been able to get any information about C Island for the past six months.

Nevertheless, John liked chaste women. Once Nina got married, Nina would be deemed "dirty" in his eyes. He would never want her again.

Vivian believed she would be the final winner no matter what.

With such a newly found conviction in mind, she finally took a deep breath and lifted the glass to her lips. Her eyes were burning with confidence. "Never mind. As long as we get married, everything will be fine," she told herself.
