You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 493

John hoped to keep everything a little mysterious. He knew that Nina liked to explore the unknown.

After getting a glass of water, John brushed past Nina and said calmly, "Good night."

Nina knew that she was not having an auditory hallucination.

John stopped and said in an enchanting voice, "If you want me to love you, I'll be happy to oblige."

Hearing this, Nina was speechless.

She wondered if he was flirting with her.

'How arrogant he is! I am married! Even though Vicente is a woman, I am a married woman in the eyes of outsiders.

Even though I don't love Vicente, I'm in love with Noah.'

"Please behave yourself, Sean." Nina's face darkened.

Without answering, John left in silence.

After a good night's sleep, Nina could not resist asking Vicente, "What's your relationship with Sean?"

"What?" Vicente stopped eating her breakfast and stared at Nina curiously. "Why do you ask? Do you remember something?"

"No. Should I? Do I know Sean from before? My memory's not entirely lost. I just have trouble remembering things clearly, but I'm able to regain impressions with the right cues. For example, after Leon told me about Mimi, it's like a whole section of my brain opened up and I was able to remember. I know what she looks like now and that she's very important to me. But I don't remember Sean at all."

Hearing this, Vicente thought, 'He has changed his name. Of course you won't be able to regain his impression.

And if he had kept his name, his impression would've come to you in the form of a splitting headache.'

Afraid of uttering anything wrong, Vicente carefully asked, "Did Sean tell you something?"

"He just told me that someone asked him to stay here to protect the twins. But I think he was lying. I'm not sure."

Vicente replied, "Oh, he was lying, all right. Sean has to protect not only Van and Don but also you. As for the rest, he's being truthful."

Nina was silent for a while and then asked, "Who asked him to protect us?"

"I don't know." Vicente ate her breakfast as if nothing was happening. She had been masquerading as a man for so many years. To this day, no one had noticed that she was acting. Her acting skills were so naturally superb that even Nina initially failed to see through them.

With her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, Nina said, "How could you keep him here without looking into his background? You and Leon were supposed to be cautious people."

"I've done my homework on Sean. He is a powerful man. He has a reputation that inspires both awe and fear. He's not someone who can be easily hired with money, and whoever has hired him to protect you and our children must be desperate to keep you and the twins safe." Vicente felt that she was really good at flattering John.

"But where's he from?"

"My dear princess, do you trust me?" Vicente looked like a dissatisfied husband.

Nina was so amused by Vicente's expression that she almost chuckled. "We can never be too careful."

"We're a couple. It's my duty to keep you out of harm's way." Vicente believed that Nina could understand what she meant, so she promised, "Trust me, Sean is a good man to have around."

"But how good exactly is he?"

"He can fight and do other stuff."

"I will also ask Cali to join you," Vicente coaxed her. "Didn't you say before that it was boring to eat alone? My mother is now receiving treatment in the hospital, and I'm busy with my work, so I can't accompany you. I can only find someone to temporarily replace me. Cali and Sean are trustworthy people.

That's it. I have to go." Vicente stood up.

He made the decision without giving Nina a chance to retort.

Nina stood up and saw Vicente to the door. "Take care, okay?"

Before leaving, Vicente held Nina in her arms and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry about me. As soon as I leave, Jett will definitely come to make trouble. You can deal with him yourself if you want to, but if not, just ask Sean to throw him out. If there's anything else, wait for me to deal with it.

Also, don't believe anyone except for Cali and Sean. The thing I'm going to do this time is very tricky. I suspect that Jett is trying to lure me away from you and the kids, so you must be extra careful. Except for Cali and Sean, don't let anyone near Van and Don."

Hearing this, Nina put on a serious expression.

At first, she thought that Vicente was simply too busy to go home as usual. She did not expect that there was more to the story.

Since giving birth to the twins, she had been so happy and excited about motherhood that she had forgotten the danger posed by Vicente's power-hungry cousin Jett. Ever since Van and Don were born, Jett had been lurking around more than usual, possibly looking for an opportunity to strike.

Nina whispered, "Got it."

"All right. You don't have to worry too much about me. Jett has been trying to bring me down for years. He hasn't succeeded, and I'm doing everything in my power to keep it that way." Vicente gently patted Nina on the back before letting her go.

"Count Nangong will be away for a week. Princess Nina must be very sad to part with him." Seeing the two hugging out their goodbyes, Cali felt like she was watching a wife seeing off her soldier husband to war. She was so moved that she wanted to cry.

At that time, John was standing not far behind Cali. Seeing Nina and Vicente hugging sent a surge of anger and jealousy through him. Hearing what Cali said, he turned around and went back inside.

When Nina came back in, John sprayed her with a bottle of rubbing alcohol he found lying around. He said coldly, "You need to disinfect before interacting with the twins."
