You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 567

The smell of fried eggs wafted from the kitchen. The pleasant aroma made Nina's and Chester's stomachs rumble.

By this time, Chester already had dinner.

"Hey, smells good, huh?" Nina said to him, glancing at his tummy.

Chester just looked back at her without saying a word.

"Listen, Chester. You like your uncle John very much, don't you?" Nina asked out of the blue.

Chester had a bad feeling about where the conversation was headed. Nina went on, "Do you want to compete with me for his favor?"

Chester was speechless.

Nina continued, "Be a good boy, Chester. Don't try to compete with me."

Hearing this, Chester was shocked.

He found it hard to believe what Nina just said to him.

Looking at her blankly, Chester tried to process what Nina was telling him.

He remembered what John said to him before.

John had warned him not to compete with him for Nina's favor. And now Nina said something similar.

Seeing his reaction, Nina burst into laughter. "All right, all right. I was just kidding! But you have to remember that you can't compete with me. Even your cousins are no exception. I can see how John spends all his time on them when they are together."

Chester was still stunned and couldn't say a word.

'What are you saying, Aunt Nina?

How could you be jealous of your own children?' Chester thought to himself.

After a while, John came out holding a plate of fried eggs with tomatoes. He was listening to the conversation the whole time.

"Is that what you think, Nina?" Keeping his eyes on her, John set the plate down on the table and put two pairs of chopsticks beside it.

Nina just shrugged her shoulders and snorted. She felt that the children were more important than her in John's eyes.

John just smiled to himself without saying anything. He also didn't want Nina to spend all her time on Van and Don and leave him aside.

"Uncle John, did you cook this yourself?" Chester stared at the dish, still steaming on the plate.

The eggs and tomatoes looked like they were perfectly cooked and seasoned just right.

"Can we have one more pair of chopsticks?" Chester turned to look at the two of them. "I want to eat too."

"That pair of chopsticks is for you," John said to him.

"Uncle John, aren't you going to eat?" Without skipping a beat, Chester took the chopsticks and ate a piece of fried egg.

John looked at him with a smile and said, "Nina and I will share the other pair of chopsticks."

Chester rolled his eyes at his public display of affection and swallowed the piece of egg in his mouth.

Nina took a bite as well and complimented John, "Well, it's delicious. Are you sure this is your first time cooking?"

"Yes. I just learned by watching how others cook online," John answered.

Nina gave him a thumbs-up sign. John smiled discreetly.

"You're the best in the world," Nina remarked.

John curled his lips; he was proud.

Chester couldn't understand why they were being so childish. It was not until he had a crush on someone that he understood. A simple compliment from the person you liked was worth much more than the flattery of a thousand people.

At night, John held Nina in his arms as they lay in bed. He put one of his legs on top of her and pulled her close to him.

Nina didn't know whether to cry or to laugh.
