You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 41 First Initiative

"Fix your hair." With a serious look, John probed.

As expected, Nina tidied up her hair obediently, revealing her whole face. Her face was brushed and her small mouth slightly pouted. She was limp there with her eyes slightly closed.

"Drink some water."

Nina took over a bottle of water from John and drank it. There were still water drops on her lips until she finished drinking it.

"Wipe the water on your mouth."

Nina did as he said.

From now on, no matter what John asked, Nina would do it.

John was glad that she would listen to him when she was drunk.

John scolded, "Why did you drink?"

This time, Nina didn't answer in time. She lowered her head and didn't say anything. Her eyes gradually became moist, and big drops of tears fell. Nina missed her family.

Although her parents always scolded her and forced her to do many things she didn't want to do, her parents also loved her. They just expressed their love in a wrong way. Her parents didn't know that in fact, she was very fragile. She needed the care and company of her parents, not being forced to do something she didn't want to do.

She would have collapsed if her brother hadn't accompanied her.

Thinking of her best brother, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Waah... Waah... Waah..."

As soon as she cried, John was startled. He looked at the Nina, who was crying sadly.

"Why... Why are you crying?" Although John had known the little girl for less than a month, every time he saw her, she would deal with problems calmly. Why was she crying now?

Maybe his voice sounded angry and accusing but he didn't hit her. Why did she cry?

He quickly took out a piece of tissue to wipe her tears. He became at a loss and patiently explained, "I didn't scold you just now. I just asked you why you drank?"

John emphasized that he was asking, but Henry didn't think so. Mr. John was scolding her just now.

Henry gloated in his heart and thought, 'you are so fierce that Nina was scared to cry.'

As soon as the John wiped away Nina's tears, she cried even louder. If there was no one to comfort her, she might just cry for a short while. Once someone comforted her, she couldn't stop crying and was drowned in tears.

"Waa... Waa... Waa...... Waa... Waa......"

"Don't cry. Don't cry." John had never encountered such a situation before.

Henry said, "Mr. John, please coax her. Mrs. Nina is still a child."

"Coax?" He didn't know how to coax.

John was so depressed that he could only wipe her tears.

The more he wiped, the more tears she would shed. John would take more paper to wipe for her, but he wouldn't be able to open his mouth to coax her.

She pursed her lips and sobbed, turning from crying loudly to sobbing. She sniffed and her shoulders trembled.

Nina looked at the man who was wiping her tears. No one had ever wiped her tears. Her parents had only told her not to cry. If she cried, she was useless. Even if she cried, she had to replace a place where no one could see her tears.

She had heard these harsh words since she was a child, so she seldom cried or dared to cry.

But she couldn't stand it anymore. In fact, she really wanted to have a warm family, which belonged to her. She must be a good wife and a good mother, so that her child wouldn't experience the same pain and struggle as her.

"Waa... Waa..." Once again, Nina burst into tears and directly threw herself into the arms of John. Her head was buried in the man's chest, and her cry became much muffled.

John's hand stopped in the air. The tissue in his hand slid through his fingers, floated out of the window, and melted into the night.

When Nina threw herself into his arms, and his heart seemed to tremble a little.

This should be the first time that the girl threw herself into his arms.

Hearing the little girl's cry, John frowned and gently held her in his arms. He gently patted the back of Nina, as if coaxing a child to sleep.

He learned this method from his sister-in-law. When James was still a child, he liked crying and he always coaxed James to sleep in this way.

Unconsciously, John became much gentler. He gently patted on the back of Nina until the crying sound in his arms became lower and lower, and finally turned into long breaths. Nina was tired of crying and fell asleep while she was drunk.

She curled up into a small ball, half of her body nestling in John arms, and one hand tugged at the corner of his clothes, like a homeless child.

Fearing of waking her up, John didn't dare to move his body. He just sat on his side and asked Henry to slow down.

When he returned to his villa outside, it was already late at night. John's two legs were numb, and Nina was still sleeping soundly.

Outside the window, a gust of cold wind blew in. Feeling a little cold, Nina shrank back into John's arms, wishing to lean her whole body in.

The back window had already been closed, but the front window hadn't been closed. At this time, Henry closed the front window and turned his head to look at the two people who were leaning against each other in the back.

It was rare for Mrs. Nina to be so obedient, and it was also rare for Mr. John to be so gentle.

"Mr. John, carry Mrs. Nina upstairs to sleep. It's not comfortable to sleep in the car." Henry reminded him in a low voice for fear of waking Nina up.

John looked down at the little girl in his arms and couldn't help but touch his head. He carefully held her head in his hands and leaned back against the back of the seat. After a while, he could carry her to sleep.

It was early April, and the night was still a little cold. As soon as Nina left John, she frowned, pouted and put herself into John's arms.

"It's so warm." Nina muttered when she was still fall asleep. Her face was still red, and she pulled the hem of John's clothes even tighter.

John was a little embarrassed. When she woke up, she wished to stay as far away from him as possible. Now that she was drunk and asleep, she tried his best to lean against him.

There was no way to deal with the little girl.

He had to think of a way not to wake her up and take her out.

After thinking about it for a while, he could only directly hang Nina on himself. He covered her with a blanket before he moved his body and got out of the car.

As soon as she got out of the car, the night wind just blew, and Nina trembled. She leaned towards John again, with her hands around his neck, her head hanging on his shoulder. A pair of powerful hands on her thighs supported her steadily.

As Nina moved forward, John had a spineless reaction. He looked embarrassed and his Adam's apple rolled two times unconsciously.

The little girl was really annoying.

He turned around and carried her to the bedroom.

As Nina was covered with a blanket, her whole body was covered under the blanket and looked very large. Since John had a slender figure and looked like a panda hanging on a bamboo pole from a distance. Henry was gratified and sent a message to Sam, telling him that Mr. John and Mrs. Nina would be together soon.

"Little girl, listen to me. Let go of me." John wanted to put her down to sleep, but Nina was like an octopus, tightly grabbing his body.

It was useless to let him coax her kindly.

Helplessly, John could only lie down and let Nina press him to sleep for the whole night. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
