You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 539

Nina could only drink juice instead of wine.

Leon was particularly gratified to have John as his brother-in-law. John was so considerate.

He looked at John, wondering if he had succeeded in persuading Bruce.

'Forget it. They could solve their problem on their own.' His own love life was in a mess.

Two days ago, he visited the Feng family. Bryant told him that Valerie was having a hard time with that man.

Back then, Valerie left Leon and eloped with that man with the Feng family's help. Then, the family disowned her and didn't help her anymore, afraid of offending Leon.

Bryant was Valerie's cousin whom she had the best relationship with, and he said she was living a hard life.

Although Leon was really worried about Valerie, he didn't try to find out how she was doing. After all, he still had his own pride. It was Valerie who abandoned him.

Still, he cared for her.

With mixed feelings, Leon raised his glass and clinked it with Vicente's. "I hope you can achieve your goal as soon as possible so that my sister can go home with John."

Vicente couldn't help but feel a little guilty and promised, "At the end of this year, I will divorce Nina."

"At the end of the year? John, let's propose a toast to Vicente. Finally, I'll be free of this marriage in seven or eight months!" Nina was wild with joy.

"Okay." John raised his glass.

Vicente felt heartbroken. "I treasure you so much, and you're telling me our marriage is a prison to you? Did I treat you bad? I've been protecting your children. I even brought you and John back together, and watched the two of you show off your love. This is what I got after what I've done?"

Nina burst into laughter. "No, no, Vicente. You're the third best person in the world."

"The third best? How did I become the third best? Who is the best, then?" Vicente was so angry that her ears turned a bit red.

John subconsciously straightened his back and was ready to receive the praise because he assumed Nina was going to say he was the best man in the world.

However, Nina said, "My brother and John."

She was smiling and John was speechless.

He slipped and almost lost his balance.

He asked himself, 'Why did we finish in joint first place? And why did she put me behind Leon?'

He was not convinced.

When Vicente saw the expression on John's face, she felt much better. "It seems that John is not the only one. I won't ask about the second place. The second and the third places are almost the same anyway."

Noah only smiled and glanced at Vicente.

Vicente, who was sitting next to Noah, felt a little embarrassed when she heard Noah's chuckle.

"It's not quite the same. They're still different." Nina held John's hand under the table. "When my brother finds someone he likes, he will become hers only. I won't take him anymore and will gladly give him to that lucky girl."

Leon looked at his sister and chuckled. "Nini, you think too much."

"Leon, you will meet a person someday and you will love each other very much." Nina's eyes lit up. "I think my sister-in-law is already on the way, waiting for you to find her."

"Really?" Leon's eyes twinkled. He felt a little bit of hope in his heart because of what Nina said.

They enjoyed their meal. Although John was not convinced by what Nina said, he was still the happiest of all.

He only needed to wait seven or eight months before Nina could come back to him.

They would be free to do anything without being sneaky anymore.
