You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 486

Nina said crossly, "Vicente, can’t you use a more proper term?"

"Have I said anything wrong? You’re indeed going to beat him up," Vicente said bravely. However, when she saw Nina shooting daggers at her, she hurriedly said, "A friendly competition!"

"Yes. We're going to have a friendly competition," Nina said with a solemn expression. "I originally wanted to personally teach the children, but if he can defeat me, I’ll let him teach them. If he loses, however, I’ll get the children a new bodyguard."

Just like that, the matter was unilaterally decided by Nina.

Since she’d made up her mind, Nina thought it’d be better to carry out her plan as soon as she could and decided to hold the fight after breakfast.

Vicente was a little worried, so she slipped away to inform John about the matter.

She had to look for quite a while before she finally found him in the garden. Vans and Don’s nanny was taking them for a walk, and John, as the children’s bodyguard, was following them closely like their shadow.

It was early spring morning. Flowers had bloomed in the garden, and there were buzzes of insects and chirps of birds. The air was suffused with the smell of soil and the fragrance of flowers.

"Sean," Vicente called. Both John and the nanny stopped and turned around.

Vicente walked toward them, leaned over, and poked the gauze curtain with her finger to see the children in the stroller. "Van, Don, good morning!"

Van and Don seemed to understand she was greeting them. Their amber eyes widened, and they waved their hands in excitement. However, their clothes were too thick for people to see their little movements.

The two brothers grinned, but they didn't have any teeth. They were drooling at their mouths.

Vicente felt like her heart melted at this sight. A wide smile quickly bloomed on her face. "You two are so cute. Come and let me hug you."

She put the gauze curtain up, intending to pick a baby up and hold him in her arms. Before she could do that, however, she felt a hard tug from her belt, and she was forcefully dragged back.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?!" Vicente turned around and glared at John. "What the hell are you doing?! The children need their father's hug!"

John changed the topic. "Why are you looking for me?"

"How do you know I’m looking for you?" Without waiting for an answer, Vicente beckoned at John, hinting at him to come over.

Nevertheless, John stood still, turning a blind eye to her voiceless instruction, so she had no other choice but to walk over and tiptoe to get close to John's ear. However, he unexpectedly took a step back.

Aside from the two children and Nina, John didn't allow any other people to get close to him.

Vicente saw red. "What do you mean? I came to warn you out of the goodness of my heart, but you’re actually treating me like I’m some kind of a germ?"

"Just cut the crap, will you?" John said bluntly.

Vicente took a deep breath, trying to put her temper under control. She then put her hands on her waist and leaned close once again, though she kept a certain distance this time.

"Nina will come to fight you later. No, I mean she’ll come to have a friendly competition with you. I know you don't want to fight her, but you’ve got to know that if you lose, you can't stay here any longer. Nina will get a new bodyguard to replace you. By then, it’ll practically be impossible for you to get close to her. Unless you continue to stay in this castle, you can only look at her from a distance in the future. This will be another stumbling block on your way to awaken her memories."

John's gaze became increasingly deeper the more he listened to what Vicente said.

"So don't lose." Upon saying that, Vicente went back to play with the children.

Afraid that Nina would discover that she had come to John, she only played with the children for less than two minutes before she made her way back from another route.

At that moment, Nina and Noah were walking towards the garden.

After quietly slipping back into her position behind them, Vicente walked calmly as if she never left. When Nina heard the footsteps, which at some point disappeared for a while, she asked, "Where have you been?"

"What?" Vicente was taken aback. "The toilet. I drank too much water this morning."

"Your breakfast included a glass of water and a glass of milk. While you drank one-third of the milk, the water was practically untouched." Nina sounded really calm. It was as if she was just stating the facts and didn't really want to pursue the matter.

Vicente smiled awkwardly.

She forgot that Noah told her that Nina was extremely observant and smart, so it was almost impossible to lie to her.
