You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 444

Howard, who saw Julie winking at him, pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's discuss it again after we find Mr. Shi."

"Okay." Sam nodded. "Let's wait for him then."

He originally wanted to use this opportunity to cancel the marriage. Julie's wink didn’t escape his notice. However, he’d never expected that Vivian would be this stubborn.

It seemed that she really did like John.

Unfortunately, her feelings were one-sided.

Love was something that couldn't be forced.

The two of them had known each other since they were children. To John, Vivian was an exception, but despite her being a kind of special existence in his eyes for years, he never once fell in love with her.

Both Vivian and Nina were people special to John,

but how they were special for him was different.

The one John fell in love with was Nina, and he would never love anyone else.

"John will be fine. He’ll surely be fine," Vivian mumbled in distraught, holding onto her mother's hand tightly.

'John, you must come back safe and sound.

I'll wait for him to come back no matter how long it’ll take.'

Jessica couldn’t help but feel touched by the genuine concern in Vivian's expression. She moved to sit next to her, held her hand, and said in an appeasing tone, "Rest assured, John will be fine."

"Yes, he’ll be fine." Vivian echoed with a forced smile.

Despite the troubled state of its occupants, the banquet hall was still giving off a warm vibe. Today was supposed to be John’s wedding day, so Jessica had come all dolled up. She was wearing a light-colored dress adorned with a well-matched necklace around her neck.

When Dora, who had always been quite perceptive when it came to clothing and jewelry, saw the necklace, she couldn’t help but praise, "Aunt, your necklace is really beautiful."

The others didn't even turn to look. Their whole focus was on John’s rescue.

Chester had noticed the necklace and wanted to expose Vivian from the moment he saw it. However, John told him that the time wasn’t right. Her bad deeds could only be exposed after John had an accident and all reporters left the venue.

Their family and Vivian’s had a tight, mutually beneficial relationship now, so they mustn’t air their dirty laundry in public. Having a public falling out would be beneficial for neither of them.

The head of the Ye family was Howard, and the people in charge of the Ye family's business were Noah and Henry. For their relationships to turn sour for an insignificant Vivian was just not worth it.

Since Dora mentioned the necklace, Chester must use this opportunity well to expose Vivian’s true colors. With that thought in mind, he asked, "Aunt, have you gotten yourself a new necklace?"

"Necklace?" The voice belonged not to Jessica, but to Julie.

Chester’s sudden appearance flustered both Julie and Vivian. Now, his question practically made them break out in cold sweats.

Vivian gulped nervously, lamenting over how a new problem popped up before the previous one was solved.

"Mrs. Ye, is there something wrong?" asked Jessica, who was baffled by Julie's reaction.

Upon seeing Vivian's warning glance, Julie regained her composure. With a stiff smile, she said, "It’s nothing. Your necklace is indeed exquisite."

"Yes, it is," Jessica answered absentmindedly and once again fixated her gaze on the river outside the window.

A crane was slowly pulling the car out of the river.

While everyone else was looking at the scene outside the window, Chester fumbled for something in his pocket. Both Julie and Vivian, whose eyes never left him even for a second since he mentioned Jessica’s necklace, felt like their hearts missed a beat.

"Vivi, your face seems a little red now. Did you perhaps catch a cold?" Julie winked at her daughter and hurriedly tried to divert everyone’s attention.

Vivian naturally understood what her mother meant. She touched her forehead and said weakly, "Well, now that you mention it, I do feel a little dizzy."

"You do? Did you really catch a cold?" Julie nervously raised her hand to touch Vivian's forehead. A split second later, she yelped in surprise, "Oh my God! You’re burning!"
