You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 556

John took a deep look at Chester, lowered his eyes, and said okay softly. His eyelashes hid the light in his eyes.

Chester tightened his grip on his chopsticks, and he felt wronged.

'Uncle John just said okay.

Nothing else?

The moment Uncle John cares about me a little more, I will forgive him albeit reluctantly.

He told me some plans, but he still didn't contact me. Why?

I would've kept my mouth shut.'

The more Chester thought about it, the angrier he became. He gulped down a mouthful of water, feeling upset.

A sly smile spread across John's face.

'If I irritated him a few more times, he would probably get angry with me and lose his cool. After he vents his anger, I won't need to coax him.'

After lunch, John went to his room to get some rest. Before going to bed, he called Nina, and they chatted happily for half an hour before hanging up.

He was about to close his eyes when someone sneaked in.

James walked in and sat on the edge of John's bed. He asked anxiously, "Were you talking to Aunt Nina just now? How is she? I recently spoke to her brother, and he said that she was good. He sounded very perfunctory, though."

John pinched the bridge of his nose, sat up, and rested his back against the headboard. "She's really good."

"Really? Then why didn't she come back with you? Is it because her parents refuse to accept you as their son-in-law?" James asked.

A sharp, cold light burst out from John's eyes, making James shiver.

James immediately put his hand over his mouth and said, "I just said something wrong, didn't I?"

John grabbed a pillow and shoved it between his back and the headboard. He folded his arms across his chest and asked, "Did Leon come to you when he arrived in Lexingport City? How is he now?"

"No, he didn't. I didn't know when he had arrived in Lexingport City. Mimi just told me about it two days ago. If he had come to see me when he'd arrived, he wouldn't have been living such a miserable life. He's the prince of C Island, yet he asks Mimi to pay for his cup of soybean milk," James sighed.

"What's going on?" John asked in confusion.

"He said that his parents drove him out because of what he did for Aunt Nina. He didn't have any money with him, so Mimi gave him the key to Aunt Nina's apartment outside campus. Now Mimi supports him financially."

"Do you believe him?" John squinted at James.

James shook his head. "No, but Mimi believes him very much. I don't know what he's up to. I tried to convince him to work for J Entertainment Company. With his face, he could be a star, but he refused. He didn't want my help. He said he wanted to experience happiness without money.

What's even stranger is that he asked me not to tell Mimi his real identity. I then found out that Mimi doesn't know that Aunt Nina is the princess of C Island. My wife and I thought she knew, but it turned out that she was completely in the dark about it." The shock was still apparent on James' face. "I suspect that Aunt Nina thought Mimi knew, so she didn't mention it.

Damn. I don't know if Mimi is simply dense or really stupid. If we don't tell her, do you think she'll break relations with us in the future?

I really don't understand what's going on with Uncle Leon. If he really didn't have any money, then how could an investor named Bryant work for him? And Wynn is by his side.

Uncle Leon pretended to be poor, and asked Mimi to support him. She just takes care of him like she owes him." James let out a long sigh.

"You're young. Don't sigh." After thinking for a while, John added, "Since he asked you not to tell Mimi, just keep quiet."

"Yes, I will." James nodded. "When will Aunt Nina come back? You've been with her on C Island for a year. Haven't you persuaded your in-laws to let you take her home?"

John felt an impulse to strangle James.

'This brat really needs to watch his damn mouth.'
