After Van and Don fell asleep, everyone else in the car kept quiet. Nobody wanted to wake the babies.
Cali's eyes began wandering to the passenger seat again. She did not say anything, but her face revealed everything that she was thinking.
Seeing Cali, Nina remembered what she had promised her before. Following Cali's gaze, she looked at the back of the man she was staring at and immediately, her head throbbed faintly.
It was really strange. Every time she saw him, her head ached.
"Did we know each other before?" Nina blurted out.
Hearing this, John looked at her through the rearview mirror with a panicked expression.
She was shaking her head just now. She must be nursing a headache again.
John just lowered his head and neglected to answer Nina's question. He did not know what to tell her.
She was not in a good condition right now. If he said the wrong things to her, it might yield incredibly bad consequences.
He might know Nina as one of the strongest women he had ever met, but this was not the time to push her. She was fragile, and she needed time.
Seeing that John did not give her an answer, Nina remembered that he was dumb and could not speak.
"Why do you ask that?" Leon asked in a low voice.
"It's just..." Nina stopped before she could finish speaking. She had wanted to tell her brother that the strange man gave her a headache every time she looked at him, but she was afraid that Leon would transfer him away.
She did not know why, but something deep inside her told her to keep the man by her side.
Her memory might be a bit fuzzy, but her intuition had never failed her.
Besides, he was supposed to be good at martial arts. He was perfect for Van and Don's protection detail.
"I feel familiar with everyone I see." Nina made an excuse and smiled. Then, she took out a piece of paper and a pen.
"Sean, can you write your phone number here, please?" Nina passed the pen and paper to Sean through Cali.
She was sitting a little far away from him, and her arm was not long enough.
Holding the note in her hand, Cali flashed Nina a grateful smile.
She handed the note to Sean shyly and said, "Sean, the countess wants you to write your number on this piece of paper."
When he heard Cali call him Sean, he was indifferent, but when he heard that it was Nina who was asking, John took the note with his index and middle fingers.
Seeing the strange man's slender fingers, Nina saw a picture of someone in a car waving at her in her mind. The gesture was very familiar, and the man in that flicker of memory crooked his index and middle fingers.
But before Nina could capture the memory, it vanished into thin air.
The only thing she could remember was the man's two fingers, which strangely looked exactly like Sean's.
"Thank you." Cali's excited voice brought back Nina from her reverie.
She raised her head and saw the joy in Cali's eyes. Cali showed her the note in her hand with Sean's number on it. Nina gave her a thumbs-up sign and smiled.
John's face darkened.
How could Nina give his number to another woman?
He gritted his teeth.
He took out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote something. "It's not right for you to give others my phone number without my consent."
After he finished writing, he folded the note neatly and accurately threw it onto the seat beside Nina.
Nina saw the note, opened it, and was stunned.
She knew that what she did just now was a little inconsiderate.
But the note was already in Cali's hand. How could she take it back?
Was it true that women would become fools after getting pregnant?
Now Nina was a little anxious.
