You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 568

When Nina woke up the next day, she reached for John but was only met with a cold space where he was supposed to be laying.

She sat up and looked at the time. It was eight o'clock in the morning.

Although it was earlier than she expected, she felt well rested after a good night's sleep.

"I think he's probably gone to work. I thought he wouldn't leave for work for the sake of a beauty like me," she murmured with her sleepy eyes.

"Beauty, are you awake?" At this moment, John quietly appeared at the door of the bedroom. He was wearing casual clothes and leaning against the wall, leisurely and relaxed.

She was surprised and inquired, "Didn't you go to work?"

He walked towards her. "It's weekend."

"Oh, right. It's Saturday." Sitting on the bed, she stretched and said with a smile, "Good morning."

"Good morning. Go clean yourself up and have breakfast. I'll take you out after that." He then walked over and picked her up.

"Okay." Nina kissed him. "Where are we going?"

"I have arranged everything. But you have to put on your hat and mask again. You did say that you don't want anyone to know you're back, right?" John put her on the washing table in the bathroom, squeezed the toothpaste on the toothbrush and handed it to her.

"Why does it feel like you're treating me like a child?" She took the toothbrush and put it into her mouth.

As John soaked the towel with hot water, he said, "I'm just taking care of my wife."

"I have my own hands and feet. You look after me like I can't move," she complained in a daze as the toothpaste foamed in her mouth.

He put the towel aside and said with a smile, "Okay, wash your face when you're done. Chester and I will wait for you in the dining room."

"Okay." A grin spread across her face, exposing her toothpaste-filled mouth.

John helped her put on her shoes, she jumped off the washstand and continued brushing her teeth in front of the mirror.

The three of them sat at the table to have breakfast. Nina said, "Chester, I hope you can put what happened yesterday behind you. You've skipped so many grades that you barely had any time having a school life. You can't lose your college life as well.

Don't rush to graduate early as well. Just enjoy the college experience for now, okay?" She reached out and touched his head, thinking that she would never let Van and Don skip grades when the time came to it. They were definitely going to have a childhood instead.

"Okay," he replied without hesitation.

"That's right. After graduation, you're only going to be sixteen years old anyway." Nina smiled gently.

"By then, I may reach Uncle John's jaw." Chester was once again looking forward to the days that he'd grow taller.

Nina nodded, "Yes. Are you going back to school today? I'm sorry that I won't be able see you off at the airport. Be careful, okay?"

"It doesn't matter. Aunt Nina, are you going back to C Island soon? Are you not going to contact anyone, like Uncle John?" Chester was slightly aggrieved.

With an apologetic smile, she replied, "I'll be back next year. Study hard."

"Oh that's less than half a year. We can wait that long." Suddenly, a thought crossed the boy's mind. "Aunt Nina, are you going to go and see Mimi?"

She nodded and said, "Of course, but I have to keep it a secret."

"You can't go," John interrupted.

Chester guessed that his uncle was jealous again.

"I haven't seen Mimi for such a long time." She looked heartbroken.

John knew that the two of them thought that he was jealous. But that was not that main point.

"I'm not jealous. Michelle lives with Leon. If you go to see her, your brother will find out and has to cover up for you. Who knows what kind of punishment he'll get if your mom finds out." With a meaningful smile, John continued, "He's so downtrodden that he can barely afford a cup of soybean milk."

Nina was confused. "What? What are you talking about?"

John explained, "James saw it with his own eyes and told me."

"Really?" Nina was still skeptical. "Mom wouldn't be so cruel to Leon, would she?"
