You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 5

Was he saying that she had set him up?

Nina sneered in anger. She pursed her red lips and retorted in righteous indignation, "From my point of view, I think you were the one who set me up!"

But John's nonchalant reply was, "If it weren't for your perfume, why would I spend the night with you? Do you think I don't have any other lady who is better-looking than you to choose from?"

'Perfume? What perfume?'

Then, the truth about the whole thing last night dawned on Nina. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Uncle, if I say I wasn't the one who did that, will you believe me?"

John was still pinching her chin in his hand and it was becoming painful by the minute.

He examined her face quietly. Sincerity clearly showed in her watery eyes, as if there was magic that was pulling him in.

Then, he let go of her, smirked meaningfully, and slightly approached determinedly.

'So, does he believe me or not?' Nina thought. "Uncle, you know what? I'm a married woman," she announced, not wanting to have anything to do with him at all.

"So what?" Of course, he already knew that she was married.

He didn't want to have contact with her anymore as it might get him into trouble, but they met again. He suspected that she approached him this time to seduce him again.

John's indifferent tone was infuriating to Nina's ears. "Are you into this sort of eccentricity?"

Did he like fooling around with married women?

He thought about her question carefully. He didn't have that eccentricity before, but right now, he was somewhat interested in a married woman like her. "I can consider giving it a try."

It was not every day that he got to see a beautiful woman who could stand by his side bravely and with confidence. Most of the women who liked him didn't even meet his high standards when it came to appearance.

With narrowed eyes, Nina subtly threatened him, "My husband is not an ordinary man." He must be if his family could live in the villa in SQ Road, more so where there was only one residence on the whole block. He must, indeed, come from a formidable family.

With her reminder, John couldn't help but think of the information that Henry had gathered about her when he investigated her background. It was very brief, barely half a page long and nothing useful could be found.

Anyway, John had just returned from abroad, so he had to avoid trouble as much as he could.

"So, put me down now," Nina demanded. Seeing that he seemed to be afraid, Nina breathed a sigh of relief. She could sense that this man was not a good person.

It would be best to stay away from him. The further it was, the better.

At the moment, she couldn't afford to be pestered by another man. First and foremost, she had to get rid of her husband whom she had never met in her entire life.

Suddenly, it hit her. Could he be after her because of her beautiful face? It was not the first time that she regretted having inherited all the good genes of her parents.

Because of this very same face, she had been in a lot of trouble.

"Let me get out of the car first, okay?" Nina urged again with a coaxing smile.

"No, I won't," he remarked and then raised his head to look at her with an ominous smile. "You are married to someone else, but your body belongs to me. Besides, is your husband a eunuch?" Hearing that, Nina felt deeply insulted.

Never in her life did she feel so humiliated like today!

Even the driver, Henry, who was within earshot, couldn't stand hearing it anymore. But all he could do was to curse in his heart silently. He really didn't dare to say anything bad about his boss loud.

At that moment, an arctic chill could be felt in the car.

It was coming from Nina.

Slap...

A loud slap fell on John's face abruptly. With red bewildered eyes, Nina looked at him resentfully.

She had already come into terms with what happened last night and had comforted herself that she should just forget all about it.

She didn't expect him to say something to that effect.

Hearing the sudden slap, Henry was so stunned that he didn't dare to even take a deep breath.

For the first time, John had been slapped across the face. He heard a buzz on his ears, followed by a burning pain, coupled with a taste of something fishy and sweet spreading in his mouth. She didn't hold back and the slap was really strong.

"Get out!" He fiercely shouted out these two words from his mouth with his teeth gritting. His face was as dark as the bottom of a pan, and he was like a lion that had been madly provoked. A fire of raw anger rushed straight up into his head.

Nina had never been afraid of people who would prey on and bully the weak, but she didn't wish to continue staying with him, either. She simply got out of the car quietly and briskly walked away without looking back.

Right after she got out of the car, John prevented her from leaving further.

Nina glared back ominously and questioned, "Is the lesson I gave you not yet enough?

Do you want to be slapped one more time?"
