You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 20

"No, no. Please, don't listen to her talk of nonsense," Isabella hurriedly tried to explain with tears in her eyes, but every word she uttered was completely useless at the moment.

Because the palm print on her face was a concrete evidence and would not lie.

James had been nearly deceived by Isabella just now. Fortunately, he was not completely stupid to still believe her words after what Nina showed him.

Without refuting, Nina pointed at the palm print on her face and reminded, "Evidence."

Right after, she left without looking back.

With a scornful look apparent on his face, James looked at Isabella disgustedly, and patted the hem of his shirt disdainfully. All the while, she was still pretending to be the innocent party. What he hated the most in his life were women like her.

At breakneck speed, he ran to chase after Nina. He took no more notice of Isabella and left her roaring her heart out.

"Senior, please wait for me!" James strode over, caught up to Nina, and together, they walked side by side.

Nina stopped for a while and looked intently at James who was smiling brightly. Looking at him, she couldn't help but think of John and was suddenly lost in thought.

"What did you just call me?" she asked after coming back to her senses. It was the first time that Nina had been called like this.

"Senior." What was wrong? Had he addressed her wrongly? He was, after all, a freshman, and Nina was a sophomore. It was just right to call her "senior."

Nina nodded delightedly. "It sounds good."

It was the first time for him to see someone having such kind of a pleased reaction, so James felt a little embarrassed and had no idea what to say next.

Unexpectedly at a loss for words, he touched the back of his head bashfully and flashed a foolish smile, making him look like a shy boy.

Nina sized up the simple boy and she smiled softly. She concluded that James was a lot more pleasing to the eye than John.

"John is your uncle?"

"Yes." James thought that she would scold him for being meddlesome in other people's affairs, and he hadn't expected that their topic of discussion would turn to his uncle. Why was she suddenly asking him about John? Could it be...?

"Are you planning to hit my uncle again?" Just the thought of it was enough to scare James.

Nina looked a little embarrassed. As the gentle breeze blew her hair, her embarrassment gradually dissipated.

The sole reason why she had hit that man was because he spoke too harshly and did unforgivable and terrible things to her.

"I don't attack anyone randomly unless I have been attacked first. This is my life principle," she replied earnestly. Raising her eyes to look at James, Nina was more patient with him than she was with his uncle.

James understood what she meant and felt guilty for having misunderstood her a while ago.

To cover up his discomfiture, he deliberately changed the topic, and asked, "Are you perhaps looking for my uncle?

You can just say so if you are." According to their agreement, she had to meet him one more time for John to delete the video he had taken in the hotel.

Only after he had deleted the video recording would Nina have nothing to worry about anymore. She could then coax her husband to divorce her as soon as possible and everything would be just fine. "If I were to tell you the detailed whereabouts of my uncle, will you forgive me for what I did wrong just now?" James was witty and cheerful, and was also a naughty man.

Nina was unable to shoo him away. For those people who had been good to her, she would treat them in the same manner and she would always be very kind in return.

"Okay," she agreed without hesitation. It was not such a bad deal after all.

They chatted amicably all the way. Most of the time, it was James who was, in fact, chattering endlessly. Nina was just passively listening in silence.

She picked up on the fact that just like Michelle, James was also too talkative! Fortunately, Nina had been hanging out with Michelle for a long time now, so she was able to listen to a lot of James' nonsense chatter with patience.

Michelle had always been nice to her, so she asked James out of curiosity, "What happened between you and Michelle?"

In fact, Nina still wasn't able to figure out the relationship between James and Michelle. She only vaguely remembered hearing that they fell in love on the Internet. It puzzled her why Michelle didn't show any sign of anger or jealousy every time she heard about James' affairs with other women. If she really liked him, that wouldn't be the case, would it? On the other hand, if she didn't like James, why would Michelle always mention that they enjoyed the flowers, the moon, and the sunset together?

At the mention of Michelle's name, James felt his scalp tingling in apprehension. Never before had he ever met such a serious girl.

"We just played the same computer game and we became a virtual couple in the game," James confessed, feeling unjustly wronged.

A computer game?
