The next day, at 2 p.m.
Noah, Nina and Vicente arrived at the cinema where Demi and the manager had been waiting for a long time along with some bodyguards standing by.
When the manager saw Nina and Vicente standing together, she almost cried out in excitement but kept it to herself. She took out her mobile phone and took pictures of them in secret.
She sent them to Theater No. 2. As soon as they entered, the manager posted their pictures online, with the caption "Mr. and Mrs. Nangong are going to watch a movie together. I'm so jealous!"
It took only a matter of time for the message to be forwarded and commented.
Vicente helped Nina sit down and took the seat on her left side while Noah sat on her right.
In the huge movie theater, only the three of them were there.
An advertisement played on the screen, which was in sync with other theaters. However, the movie here had been switched.
Upon taking his seat, Noah said, "I just saw someone taking pictures of you."
"That manager? I saw it. If I'm not mistaken, she's a fan of me and Vicente. I guess she's already posted it online," said Nina.
"Your fan?" Noah asked in confusion.
Nina nodded, "Take out your phone and check it."
"He can't see it on his phone," Vicente said and took out her phone. When she saw the all the attention that it was getting, she was shocked. "This manager is not only a fan, she's the leader of our fans."
She handed over the phone to Nina and the latter took a glance. "I look like I've gained some weight in this photo. But it can't tell whether or not I'm pregnant."
Vicente enlarged the photo. "That's true. The clothes you're wearing today are loose, and it's winter. No one can tell that you're pregnant."
While both of them were talking about the photos, Noah was looking at the entrance of the theater from time to time.
He had made everything clear yesterday. So he thought that John should be able to meet Nina in the cinema.
But as he entered the cinema, he didn't see John at all.
The movie had already started.
The lights cut out and the theater was enveloped in darkness. While Nina and Vicente were immersed in the world of movie, they didn't notice Noah stand up and go out.
He went outside to look for John but to no avail. Before going back, he went to the bathroom.
When Noah got back to his seat, Nina then realized that he had gone out. She looked at him sideways and continued watching the movie.
James' scene just started playing.
"Is it because of the filter? James looks so handsome." Nina stared at the screen.
Noah just smiled. "He's always been very handsome. And the Shi family has excellent genes."
"Your family has good genes too. You and Henry are both handsome." After praising him, Nina changed the topic back to James. "But is James really this handsome? I never saw it before."
Vicente cut in, "Not only is he handsome, but his acting skills are also great. He's particularly good at driving emotions. He almost made me cry just now."
"Just cry," Nina said calmly.
Vicente rolled her eyes. "Forget what I said."
"Because Mr. Shi used to be with you," Noah said, his voice a little hoarse. The touching background music from the movie melded with his voice that made him sound sadder than he was.
Nina's eyes flickered and turned to look at him. "Noah..."
Noah met her gaze and repeated what he had just said. "Because Mr. Shi was with you, you didn't notice that James is actually very handsome.
In your eyes, there is only Mr. Shi." Even in the darkness, Noah saw the glint of Nina's tears. He patted her head and said, "Nini,
you will meet soon. Trust me!"
"Noah..." Nina couldn't find the words to speak. Just by looking at his eyes, she believed him.
She really believed that she would meet John soon.
"Hey, hey, you two, be careful," Vicente said sarcastically. "Don't flirt with each other. I'm still here. Noah, you are quite arrogant."
