You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 521

Noticing Noah's smile, John asked coldly, "What are you laughing at?"

He sounded harsh, but he wasn't angry.

The better Noah got to know John, the more the rumors about him turned out to be not right. Like Vicente, who was also different from the rumors.

But John and Vicente were different.

Vicente was different from the person she acted in public. John was always cold, but he treated people differently.

He was always nice to those he liked.

"Sorry, Mr. Shi. I wasn't laughing at you, more at myself. I never took you for a warm-hearted guy." Noah was touched by John's words. Indeed, Henry was his brother.

He still had a family.

No wonder he was a great businessman. He was a mind reader.

John's eyes flickered. "I'm not, where you're concerned."

"I know. It's for Henry." Although Noah said that, he wasn't so sure.

'This guy has more layers than an onion. He told me he thinks I'm a rival for Nina's affection, but he still acts like my friend. Looks like he has a soft heart, but a sharp tongue.'

Noah continued, "I just heard some noise. I came out and spotted you running like crazy. Why?"

"To catch the real spy. Demi's in deep cover. She's keeping an eye on Vicente," Nina said frankly.

Noah recalled what happened on the island and said, "I see."

'Exposing Tasha was how Demi threw suspicion off herself. Demi gave the order to stab John to keep us from catching up.'

"Could Demi be working for Jett?" Noah asked, deep in thought.

Nina shook her head and said, "I'm not sure yet. I'll know more after I interrogate her. By the way, Noah, I found a photo in Demi's handbag. It's part of a marriage license. It shows Jett with some mystery woman. It's not Demi or Ruby."

"That photo should have a special meaning for Demi," Noah said. "You should start with Jett first."

"I think so too. Was Jett married to someone else? I never heard that. Only that he married Ruby. It's a mystery, I guess. We'll proceed from here," Nina sighed.

"He's probably keeping the marriage a secret," John said.

Nina and Noah looked him at the same time, and Nina got the idea. "Yeah, I can see that. Jett's trying to be hush-hush about this, just like John and me in the past. How could anyone know if he is hiding it?

Noah, we're headed back. See you later." Excitement was written all over Nina's face.

She took John's hand and left in a hurry.

When they reached the door of the ward, John let go of her hand and Nina felt a keen sense of loss.

"What's wrong?" She went to grab his hand again, but only caught his ring finger.

It was already March, and it was getting hot on C Island. Their fingers were as cold as melting ice.

Nina didn't know whose fingers were colder, but she was flustered all the same.

"Don't worry." When John couldn't see anyone around, he took her hand again and stroked it, and she felt warm again. "I don't want anyone to know. It could be bad if someone finds out."

"Didn't you tell me not to show my face to others? It doesn't matter if it's hot."

"It matters to me. It's easier to eat, and I think you'll like it better." Nina took the mask off him and tucked it in her pocket.

"Do you remember that dinner?" John raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You almost made me choke to death! How could I forget?" Every time she thought of the hole in his mask, she burst out laughing.

She couldn't help it.

"Well, cut it out. It's not that funny," John said awkwardly.

"Yeah it is." In her defense, Nina did try to stop.

John shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of affection.

After entering the hall, Nina turned on the TV on the wall, sat on the sofa and said leisurely, "Let's watch the news. Vicente's holding a press conference."

After a couple news stories, it was time for Vicente's press conference. Dressed meticulously, she stood in front of the microphone, a consistent smile on her face.

"The children have been found and they're safe. While I search for their attackers, they're holed up in Scher Mountain. Let me be clear that Cali's not a suspect here. She was the one who got the kids to safety..."

Vicente talked a lot, never mentioning Demi or the spy. But in the end, she said, "Make no mistake. I know I'm surrounded by evil, and won't rest until everyone involved is brought to justice."

Nina knew that she was warning the mastermind behind this. 'Jett planned to take the kids away, so he will keep an eye on the news,' she thought.

Sitting in front of the screen, Jett looked extremely uncomfortable. 'Anne made sure Tasha was locked up. I don't know that she'd spill the beans that easily, or lie to them. I can't get a hold of Demi, and I have no idea if her cover was blown.'
