You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 547

Vicente felt that John had found her out, so she tried several times to sound him out, but to no avail. She had to secretly enlist Nina's help to find out what he knew.

After her morning run, Nina asked John, "Do you know something about Vicente?"

"No," John answered calmly. The reason why he didn't want to tell the truth was that he found out that Vicente was a woman through her chest. He was afraid that it would cause some misunderstanding.

Nina pressed, "Really?"

"Yes, really," John answered firmly, and Nina believed him.

Vicente was relieved. Whether John knew the truth or not, it didn't matter. Since he denied it, he would never reveal it.

In the blink of an eye, March passed, and everyone leaved a peaceful life.

One day, John was on his way to Scher Mountain to play chess with Bruce.

Bruce, the king of C Island, had been getting more and more impressed with John. He even said good things about him in front of Anne.

After a couple of times, Anne gave in and decided to accept John too.

Bruce and John sat across from each other, staring intently at their respective chess pieces. Bruce said, "Anne has acquiesced in your marriage to our daughter. Vicente will divorce Nina by the end of the year. If nothing goes wrong, you can wed her openly next year."

Bang!

The chess piece John was holding slipped through his fingers and fell onto the chessboard, scattering the other pieces.

He raised astonished eyes at the king, hoping that he had not misheard.

"Since the chessboard is now a mess, let's play another day. I have something else to attend to," Bruce said with a smile. He stood up, glanced at John, and left.

John sat there in a daze for a long time. He wanted to laugh and cry. He could not wait to go home and tell Nina the good news.

As soon as he got back and entered the castle, he began to look around for Nina. She was nowhere to be found, so he had to ask Cali, "Where is Princess Nina?"

"Princess Nina and the twins are taking a nap." Seeing John's anxious face, Cali became worried. "Why? Is there anything wrong, Sean?"

"So she's in the children's bedroom?" John tried his best to remain calm and keep his face neutral.

But he was really excited to tell Nina about his conversation with Bruce. Before Cali could answer, he was already walking to his room.

"I'm a little tired. I'm going to go get some rest."

Cali replied with concern, "Okay. Rest well, Sean. When Princess Nina wakes up, I will tell her that you want to see her."

"Thank you, Cali." For the first time, John smiled at Cali.

Even if it was just a faint smile, it was enough to make Cali's world bloom with sunshine and flowers.

"You're welcome, Sean." Cali was surprised and pleased. She felt like she had just received a great gift.

After John left, Cali turned around and immediately called her best friend. "He smiled at me and thanked me, Lynda. He never did those things, but he just did. I'm so happy!"

"Wow. Congratulations, Cali. Does this mean we're having dinner soon to celebrate your finally having a boyfriend?" The woman on the other end of the line was Cali's best friend, Lynda Jiang.

"Thank you. If Sean and I really get together, I will take you to have dinner at the restaurant you've always wanted to go to," Cali answered with a smile.

"If you're willing to spend that much, then Sean must be a really great guy. I'm so happy for you, Cali. I hope to meet your Prince Charming soon. Lunar July 7th is coming up. You can take advantage of it to express your love to him," Lynda joked.

Cali's bright eyes widened. "You're right. I have to prepare for my confession. Then, we'll invite you to have dinner with us."
