You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 572

After thinking for a while, Nina shook these thoughts away and proceeded to go back to her room.

Meanwhile, Rebecca was taking care of Van and Don, and when Nina came in the room, she greeted Nina with respect, "Your Highness."

"Were Van and Don behaved in the past two days? Did they cry a lot?" Nina asked. She walked towards the crib and kissed Van's and Don's little hands.

Seeing their mommy, both of the children chuckled with glee.

Rebecca stood aside and said, "Count Nangong spent time with them, and they didn't make much noise when they were with him. Sometimes, they would cry, but they'd be fine after Count Nangong coaxed them for a while."

"Oh, you guys are very good, huh? Come here, and hug Mommy," Nina said. Nina stretched her arms out to hold Van, making Don babble for attention.

"Oh, Don, be a good boy. Mommy will hold you, too," she said. After hugging Van, she turned to hold Don.

When the baby was in his mother's arms, he placed his soft little hand on Nina's face and babbled even more.

"Don, you must be a naughty boy when you grow up," Nina said softly. She patted Don on the rear and looked down at Van, who was quietly lying in the crib as he looked at her with his big eyes.

"Fortunately, Van is quiet and behaved. If both of them make trouble, I am afraid that they would turn the whole house upside down when they grow up," Nina teased with a huge smile on her face.

Rebecca smiled as well and said, "It's good that one of them is quiet, while the other is lively. Most of the time, it's the elder one who can control his younger sibling. Normally, Don will cry if his elder brother does. When Van stops crying, Don will stop too."

Nina smiled at this and nodded at Don's face. She gently poked his cheeks. "You, dear one, will be your elder brother's flatterer in the future?"

As if he understood, Don babbled to protest.

After she spent time with the children for a while, the children felt tired and sleep finally arrived at them.

She gently tucked her children in before closing the lights and leaving the night light on. Then, she washed herself and finally lay on the bed, feeling the exhaustion take over her. Before she closed her lamp off, she video-called John.

"Hello, my little girl. It's still early," John complained. He was drying his hair with a towel and used his other free hand to hold the phone in front of him.

He thought that she wouldn't contact him this evening, so he took his clothes off and went to take a shower. Moments later, a video call came. Seeing that it was Nina, he stopped and answered the call.

"Shh..." Nina said with her index finger on her lips. With a smile, she turned the head of the camera and focused it towards the sleeping children before whispering, "Van and Don are now sound asleep, right next to my bed, so we should talk in a low voice?"

"Is this low enough? Can you still hear me?" John asked in a low voice.

Nina rolled her eyes. "I can't even hear you."

With this, John smiled and stopped teasing her. He asked, "Did the children cry during the two days you were away?"

Nina sighed. "Yes, they cried. It seems that I can't go to see you in the future. You have to come here to see me and the children," she said sadly.

"Oh, okay. Well, can you return the camera back to you?" John asked. "That's why you will wait for me in the future, okay? I really was about to go here, but you beat me to it."

Nina nodded and assured him that she would, instead of her going to him. "By the way, come here for dinner tomorrow. My mom knows you're here," she said.

"Well then, I will go there as soon as I get up early tomorrow morning," John said with a smile.

"I said, dinner. You don't have to be in such a hurry, you know."

"Why not?"

"Why? What's the rush? Do you not have the money to buy yourself breakfast and lunch?" Nina joked with a laugh.

John replied in a low voice, "No, I have the money, but I need someone to have a meal with me."

Upon hearing that, Nina smiled shyly.

"Many people want to have a meal with you if you ask," Nina teased.

John's eyebrows furrowed into a slight frown. Before he could say anything, Nina interrupted him. "Look, silence means acquiescence."

Then, she raised her chin and looked at him through her nose, making John burst into laughter. He played along with her and said, "Oh, yes, there are two more."

'Huh? Does he mean Van and Don?'

Nina thought.

"Then again, they are too young to have a meal with me for now," John said.

Nina glanced at him and turned towards the children who were asleep before gently snorting at John, making him laugh.
