You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 553

John lifted the quilt and stood up. "I'll ask the hotel to send us some food."

"Wait!" Nina held his hand and he sat back down on the edge of the bed. He held her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There's no need to ask them to send anything. Let's go out to eat." She lifted up the quilt and sat up straight, stretching.

She was clearly well rested and he could see it in her ruddy face.

He glanced at her slender waist and asked, "Can you still go out?"

"Why not?" She hopped out of bed as if nothing had happened.

John just wasn't as sure, though. He looked on worriedly until he saw her suck in a deep breath as she stretched out her legs.

He stepped forward and held her in his arms. "No, I'll ask the hotel to send food here."

"I want to have dinner with you in a restaurant. You're going back to Lexingport City tomorrow afternoon and I'm not going to see you for two weeks."

Her bright eyes were as irresistible as ever.

He responded, "Then I'll be back in a week. By that time, your body should have recovered. Let's..."

"Well, room service then," Nina interjected and compromised. 'He hasn't been in Lexingport City for a year, so he must have a lot of work to do. It's going to be exhausting for him to come here in a week.

I don't want him to be exhausted.'

With a gentle smile, she continued, "I don't care where I eat, as long as I'm with you."

"Little girl, please wait for me." His voice was so soft and affectionate.

"I will. Last year, you asked me to wait for you, and I did, didn't I?"

"Good girl. Your reward," John said before kissing her lips.

She looked at him and cheekily retorted, "That's your reward."

"Mine is yours. It doesn't make any difference."

"Well, you've never said that before. When did you become like this?" She put on a facade that she was disgusted, but her heart was actually melting with how sweet his words felt.

He sighed, "There's a little girl next to me who others covet. If I don't learn how to coax her, I'm afraid that I may lose her to someone else."

All Nina could do was giggle in his arms.

After dinner, they stood on the balcony, as he held her in his arms from behind. The night wind blew gently as they looked out over the lights glinting in the view.

Gazing at the scenery, they kept silent and just hugged each other tightly under the moonlight.

A stable relationship didn't need to have constant speech. As long as they knew they were together, that was more than enough.

When they went to sleep, John cuddled her from behind and they slept through the night.

The next morning

The sky looked like a pink, purple and orange tapestry.

"John, I get to experience another beautiful morning with you." Knowing that he woke up around the same time, Nina didn't want to break the morning's tranquility and spoke in a voice as soft as cotton.

John stared at the sky for a while and looked down at the face of his gorgeous girl. "It's very beautiful."

He was captivated by the wonders of the morning sky, but he longed for the beauty in his arms more than anything.

The colorful clouds gradually faded as they were replaced with a more staple blue sky with white clouds.

They lay with their eyes shut for a long time before they eventually got up and went back to the castle.

John left first, and then Vicente and Nina went back together.

As soon as Vicente returned to the castle, she ordered the chef to prepare a farewell party for John.

Since her confession failed, Cali had been hiding from her crush from time to time. She was afraid that she couldn't help but cry when she saw him. She couldn't deal with the embarrassment.

As a result, she didn't even know he was leaving. She only found out because a maid was crying loudly during her lunch break. Only then did she find out that he resigned and he was due to leave this afternoon.

Cali ran to find him in a hurry. She didn't want to flatter herself, but she couldn't help wondering if her confession of love put him in a predicament and he decided it was best to leave.

That was the only reason that made sense to her.

At that time, John's luggage had been packed. Only one more suitcase needed to be put into the trunk.
