You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 406 Nina Knew She Was Pregnant

Anne realized that she had spilled the beans. She turned her head, trying to hide from Nina's prying eyes.

Her evasive eyes only highlighted her guilt.

Nina knew that she was really pregnant.

"I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant with John's child." Nina smiled and touched her flat belly. She rubbed it gently, fearing she'd lose the baby if she was too vigorous.

"Dad, I'm a mother now." Nina's teary eyes were shining like stars. She excitedly grabbed her father's arm.

Bruce seemed to still be in a daze and news of his daughter's pregnancy only made him more bewildered.

Seeing that his daughter was so happy, he also smiled. "Are you pregnant?"

"Yes, Dad. I'm pregnant." Nina hugged her father excitedly, trying to calm down. She patted his back and said, "Dad, you are going to be a grandfather."

"A grandfather? Am I going to be a grandfather?" Bruce finally came to terms with what was happening and grinned from ear to ear.

"Yes. You are going to be a grandfather and I am going to be a mother. I am pregnant, Dad." Nina left her father's arms. The two of them seemed so happy, it was like they were walking on sunshine. Worry was written on Rebecca's face whereas most people looked surprised.

They couldn't believe that the princess was pregnant.

"Don't tell anyone what happened just now. If I hear any rumors about this, none of you can survive," Anne warned everyone that was gathered around. "Leave now."

"Yes." They all hurried away, fearing what would happen if they didn't.

Anne couldn't help feeling sad when she saw how happy Bruce and Nina were.

Bruce and Nina were so close.

On the other hand, Nina hated Anne. This made Anne feel sad.

Her heart sank.

"Calm down, Nina. I'll ask the doctor to check your body to see if the baby has been affected." Anne took Nina back to her room.

The doctor came soon after and gave a simple examination to Nina. Knowing that there was nothing serious, Anne breathed a sigh of relief.

"The baby is strong." Immersed in the joy Bruce didn't see his wife's face darken at all.

"Come out with me." Anne pulled him out the room.

"Eat your food. It'll be good for you and the baby," said Bruce, looking back at his daughter.

"Of course. Thank you, Dad." Nina smiled. She lowered her head and touched her flat belly again.

She was only pregnant for a month and the baby hadn't taken shape yet, but Nina gently touched her stomach nevertheless, as if she could feel her baby.

This was her and John's child.

They really had a child.

"John, do you know that we're going to have a baby?" Nina's voice was much softer but her eyes were as lively as ever. They beamed as if the excitement was pouring out. The baby in her belly made Nina's waiting for John more meaningful.

Anne took her husband to the end of the corridor and said abruptly, "What should we do now? She knows about the pregnancy now so she'll never marry Vicente."

"I don't care. I can afford to take care of them." Just thinking that a little child would call him Grandpa, Bruce smiled and only had one thing on his mind. "Do you think it's a boy or a girl?"

He nudged his wife with his elbow. Anne's face darkened. She slapped off her husband's hand and angrily barked, "Bruce, you can't just care about your daughter and forget about the real issue at hand. Don't forget that it was you who promised to marry Nina off to Vicente. You can't go back on your word.

Bruce, can you be more rational? Think about who you are. You are the king of C Island. Be responsible. Don't just leave it to me and turn me into the bad guy."

Anne had never been so frustrated before. Between her husband's irresponsibility and her daughter's alienation, Anne was left exhausted and heartbroken.

She had never felt so aggrieved before. Her eyes started turning red as they flooded with tears. The tears overflowed and rolled down her cheeks. She looked completely defeated.

Anne's accusation made Bruce realize how much he was hurting her. He reached out to pull her in close. "Honey..."

"Don't touch me." Anne shook off his hand. "Think it over. Don't talk to me until you figure it out."

Anne turned around and left, looking like the loneliest person alive.

Nina had followed, eavesdropping. She had heard everything they said as clear as day.

She walked out and gave her father a push. "Dad, why aren't you chasing after her?"

"She said that I can only talk to her once I figure this out." Looking at the empty hallway, Bruce's heart sank.

He wanted to chase after her but he had to listen to his wife as well.

Nina scratched her head.

"How did you even get her?" she asked.

Suddenly, Bruce felt embarrassed. "I just followed her."

"Then why don't you follow her now?" Nina pushed her father again. Bruce ran in pursuit of Anne, calling out for her from afar.

The smile on Nina's lips gradually faded. She replayed her mother's words in her head and quickly understood the problem.

Her mother loved her father very much. She worked hard for him and protected everything that was his. However, Bruce wasn't as level-headed as her so Anne naturally felt frustrated.

Besides, her mother felt guilty. Even though Anne loved Bruce more than Nina, she was still riddled with guilt.

Nina deeply admired her mother.

"I'll deal with Vicente myself." Nina pursed her lips and smiled. She decided to go to meet Vicente in person.

They were about to meet for the second time, and Nina offered to go to the Nangong family herself.

Anne sent a group of bodyguards to follow Nina and they reached the castle where Vicente lived.

The bodyguards didn't drive up to the castle, but instead stopped a little distance away. Nina took a couple of bodyguards to go meet Vicente.

She didn't enter the front door but through a more secluded entrance.

She planned to break off their engagement. If anyone found out that she was here, there was bound to be all types of gossip that they were going to get married. She didn't want any unnecessary congratulations.

Nina wore a huge hat to cover her face so nobody could make her out. She said that she was Vicente's good friend to try and get access to the castle. It seemed to work and the maid took her to where Vicente lived.

"Miss Shi, please wait here for a moment. Count Nangong is a little busy, but he'll be with you in a minute."

"Okay, thank you." Nina sat down on the sofa and waited for Vicente to come downstairs.

Vicente had just taken a shower. When he heard a Miss Shi was waiting for him, he curiously went down in a bathrobe.

"I'm not sure that I know anyone who goes by that surname." Vicente walked down the stairs step by step. "I only know Nina's ex-husband surnamed Shi."

Nina looked up and knew her cover was blown.

"You are just too smart." Nina took off her hat. It was hard to tell whether she was praising him or just being sarcastic.

Vicente raised his eyebrows and said, "Thank you, Nina. What brings you here?"

"Same as always." Nina cut straight to the point.

Vicente also said bluntly, "Well I have the same answer. I will marry you anyway."

Nina approached him and whispered in his ear, "What if I'm pregnant with someone else's child?"0000
