You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 455

"I love Nina and the children." Vicente loved Nina but she was not in love with her because she was not into women. Besides, Nina was still clearly in love with John, the father of her children. In fact, she talked about him every night, and Vicente had no choice but to listen.

The name John was starting to get on Vicente's nerves.

If John showed up, Nina would definitely take their children and go with him.

Thinking of this, Vicente felt a little sad.

Snapping back to her senses, she took out her phone and called Nina. She said with a smile, "My dear princess, I'm on my way home. I have a very special gift for you. It's from a very far place. It got here after a long journey."

On the other end of the line, Nina gasped, excitement bubbling in her throat.

A thought popped in her head, and her heart trembled slightly. "The gift is from a very far place? And it got here after a long journey?"

"Yes." Vicente turned her head to look at Noah who was driving. "I'll see you soon, okay? I don't want to talk about your gift anymore. I don't want to ruin the surprise."

"Okay. I'll see you when you get home. Take care." Nina smiled and hung up.

After Vicente ended the call, Noah shook his head slightly and said, "You may have spoiled your surprise."

"I didn't mention you. Do you think Nina already has an idea?" Vicente asked with wide eyes.

"I don't think so," Noah replied.

"Then I'm in the clear." Vicente raised her chin complacently, feeling better.

She looked out the window, so she did not notice Noah's face darkening a little. Noah said in a voice that only he could hear, "I'm afraid she will be disappointed."

'I'm not the man she is looking forward to see.

That man is John. It always has been.

Should I tell Nina that John and Vivian got married yesterday?'

Noah knitted his brows as he considered the things he was going to do once he laid eyes on Nina.

After hanging up the phone, Nina's eyes gleamed with tearful excitement. She thought that Vicente might be bringing home someone from Lexingport City.

"Cali, can you come with me to the closet?" With one hand on her hip and the other supported by Cali, Nina carefully headed to the walk-in closet. It was getting a little difficult for her to move around since she was already seven months pregnant.

"Slow down, Mrs. Nangong." Cali was a maid hired by Vicente for Nina. She used to be an obstetrics and gynecology nurse.

Nina got along well with all the servants although she was strict with them. If they did something that made her angry, they were severely punished. Otherwise, they were treated very well. As a result, they adored Nina and respected her too.

Cali had been taking care of Nina for three months. She teased, "You look so happy. Is it because Count Nangong will be home soon?"

"Yes. He says he'll return bearing a gift," Nina said in a soft voice, letting the joy wash over her. "He says it'll be the best gift I've received in the past six months."

"I'm sure you're very excited, but for the sake of the babies' health, you can't wear high heels or make-up," Cali reminded her.

With a smile on her face, Nina said, "Fine. I'll just put on a beautiful dress."

Nina asked Cali to take out all the dresses that still fit her. She tried on several dresses in a row but was not able to choose one.

After trying on the ninth dress, she suddenly stopped. She teased herself, "Cali, am I being crazy?"

"What are you talking about? You haven't seen Count Nangong for a long time. It's normal that you want to doll yourself up for his return." Cali held another dress in her hand and gestured toward Nina. "Besides, you have nothing to worry about. You look good in any dress."

"It's true that a girl will doll herself up for her man," Nina smiled. "I want to wear a cheongsam."

"A cheongsam?" Cali glanced at all the dresses in the closet, but there was no cheongsam.
