You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 577

Nina's heart sank further as she held onto John's hand tighter and tighter.

The well-known John Shi, as well as the president of Time Group, was born to be the Gods' favored one. Even though he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he worked harder than anyone else. He was decisive in business and that allowed him to hold half of Lexingport City.

The Gods' favored one who was worth hundreds of millions now knelt down in front of Nina's parents.

"Do you know that John has never knelt before anyone, not even his own father?" Tears started streaming down Nina's face.

John reached out his hand to touch Nina's face. He wiped away her tears with his thumb. The myriad of emotions in his heart finally turned into two words. "Don't worry."

His little girl knew him and protected him. His wife was so perfect that he could not ask for more.

No matter what, he would treat her as his little girl. He would love her and take care of her.

Every teardrop that escaped Nina's eyes broke John's heart.

"Okay." Nina sobbed. "I'm not saying that you can't kneel down to anyone ever. It's tradition for a man to kneel down before his parents-in-law at the wedding ceremony."

John could not help chuckling and said, "I'll give you a grand wedding."

"It's a deal. Don't go back on your word." Nina smiled, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

Vicente was flabbergasted. It was supposed to be a bitter scene, but instead, she tasted the sweetness of their love.

She really admired them.

"Ahem!" Bruce loudly cleared his throat. "I need you to leave for now, dear. Your mother and I need to speak to John in private."

Hearing the king's gentle tone and seeing his loving eyes, Vicente felt relieved and escorted Nina out.

Nina was so worried about John that she kept looking back at him while exiting the room. When she arrived at the door, she found that her mother had already let him sit down as if they were about to start a negotiation.

After Nina and Vicente had gone, there was only the three of them. The room quieted down, and the air turned icy.

Anne was still thinking about what her daughter had just said. Her every word was like a huge stone thrown into a lake, creating ripples that could go on for a long time.

Nina was right. John was also a privileged one, but he acted humbled before them.

Bruce handed her a cup of tea, which she emptied before snapping back to her senses.

Bruce also gave John a cup of tea and said, "My daughter likes drinking tea after coming back from Lexingport City. She said you loved it, and she recommended it to us. Tea can calm our mind."

John picked up the tea cup and took a sip. It was indeed refreshing.

"Things have happened, and you have been punished. You promised to protect Nina from being hurt, but this time, you failed," Bruce added.

"You're right. It's all my fault." John sincerely apologized.

"Nina is the princess of C Island. Even though Vicente vouched for her and clarified things, it's impossible to change the situation completely. Now my daughter's reputation is damaged. If you marry her openly next year, it'll create an even bigger scandal."

John clenched his fists, turning his knuckles white. He did not say anything.

"If it weren't for the recording, none of this would've happened. Now everyone thinks that my daughter and Vicente divorced each other because she's had an affair," Nina's reputation is integrated with the reputation of the royal family.

You two are from different countries. Once you get married openly, what happened this morning will be an international hot topic, so..." Bruce wanted to say something more, but stopped on second thought. Finally, he sighed in a low voice.

"I know," John said.

"No, you don't," Anne said in a cold voice. "Even if you give her a grand wedding in Lexingport City, it won't change the public's opinions that she's cheated on Vicente."

John really wanted to give Nina the wedding of her dreams. He did not want her to have any regrets.
