MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 4 Episode 10

In the middle of signing multiple documents, John was interrupted by a phone call. As soon as he picked it up, he didn’t say anything and placed the phone on top of his table with its loud speaker on before continuing to sign the last document with a fountain pen.

Hearing nothing from John, James rolled his eyes and expected this. As a matter of fact, he was already used to this. Without waiting for a greeting, he asked, “Uncle John, have you forgotten what day it is today?”

James stayed silent as he waited for a reply. When he only heard the sound of pen writing on paper, he felt anxious. “Damn it,” he muttered under his breath. “Really, Uncle John? Today is a day for lovers! Did you know that Aunt Nina is with Noah today? He even gave her a rose.”

James waited once more and felt satisfied that he got John’s attention, because the sound of pen on paper suddenly stopped. Finally, John looked up at the phone and squinted at it.

“But it’s not July 7th or Feb 14th today,” he said cheaply.

“Who told you that only July 7th and Feb 14th are for lovers? If you haven’t noticed, today is May 20th. It’s 520. Don’t tell me you also forgot that Aunt Nina transferred 5,200 to you so she could confess to you before! Uncle John, 520 means ‘I love you,'” James said with a sigh.

John immediately picked the phone up and turned off the loudspeaker. He placed the phone on his ear and clenched his fingers tightly on the phone, asking, “Where is she?”

“I will send the location to you right now.” James immediately ended the call and sent the address to John. Then, he sent a message to his friends.

The message said, “I’ll be there with my girlfriend soon, so you better get in place quickly, and don’t make any mistake.”

As soon as his message was sent, Haley replied, “Okay, we’re waiting for you two.”

“Good,” James replied. Then, he tucked his phone in his pocket and turned to Emma with raised eyebrows. “Babe, don’t you ever get bored with shopping? Come on, I’ll take you somewhere else.”

James walked over at Emma and placed an arm around her shoulder. He was taller than her so this wasn’t much of a discomfort.

However, for Emma, the sudden approach and physical touch made her back freeze and her ears red.

James felt the sudden stiff reaction of her body, so he turned his head and whispered, “Babe, don’t worry, okay? I promise I won’t hold your hand or kiss you without your consent.”

The hot breath of James that blew her neck sent tingles down Emma’s spine. She jerked slightly away, feeling the blood rush on her face this time.

“Ahem.” Hoping that James wouldn’t notice her red face, Emma covered her mouth as she cleared her throat. Then, in a low voice, she said, “Since we are already dating, I don’t mind holding hands.”

“Hmm, what did you say?” They were walking on a street that was crowded and surrounded by a lot of noise. Since Emma spoke too low, James wasn’t able to hear it clearly.

As soon as Emma realized what she said, she blushed once more. The thought of her wanting him to hold her hand made her heart skip a beat. Not wanting to repeat herself out of shyness, she shook her head and replied, “No, it’s nothing.”

She lowered her head, trying to hide the blush on her face. As soon as her eyes landed on the ground, she saw the shadow that followed them under the sun. It was the two of them with James’ arm around her shoulder. He looked like a hero protecting her. Seeing this, Emma smiled.

Thinking about it now, she realized that ever since she met James, he did felt like a hero and was always there to protect her like a man that he was.

She remembered the time James invested money in the crew to solve her problem. Moreover, when everyone accused her of being a mistress, it was only James who stood by her side and defended her. He also made vigorous efforts to turn the situation around and prove that she wasn’t what they were accusing her of.

More importantly, even though he knew that the ring was from her last relationship, he still jumped into Elena Lake to find it for her, and he did.

There was also a time where he waited outside her house for the whole night, because he was worried about her.

Regardless of his pride and dignity, he would wear women’s clothes just for her as well.

She remembered what happened this morning very well. She also recalled the firm warning he told her. “Oh, babe, don’t let anyone else know about it, or I will kiss you until you can’t speak anymore, even without your permission!”

Recalling this made her feel the way she felt at that very moment. As if voice hovered in her ears, her heart warmed up. At the thought and the feeling, Emma smiled gently.

“I hope we can still be together on the next May 20th,” she said, loud enough this time, so he could hear clearly. With a huge smile on her face, Emma turned to look at James’ toned and angular face.

She thought that everyone should give themselves a second chance, and stop being hard on themselves. As a matter of fact, everyone deserved to be happy. At this very moment, James was her chance.

Hearing what she said, James frowned. “Hey! What are you talking about? No, that doesn’t sound right.” With the arm around her shoulder, he pulled her closer to him and stressed word by word to make sure that the message came clearly across to her. “From today on, we will be together on every May 20th. You hear me?”

Emma took a deep breath. With the lesson she gained from Harrison, she could not take this promise seriously and with enough confidence.

“Well, what if…”

“Shh! There are no ifs, okay? Don’t think too much about. Just remember that I like you, okay?” James interrupted her and gave her a reassuring smile.

With that, Emma stopped thinking about it and smiled back at him. At this moment, she was happy. They were happy, and that was what all that mattered.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Nina and Noah were walking side by side. They talked and laughed at random topics, clearly enjoying each other’s company.

As soon as they arrived at the car, Nina’s phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and read that it was from John.

She answered the phone, and before she could say a greeting, a cold order came from the other line.

“Stop. Don’t move. I’m coming to you,” John said.

“What?” Nina was stunned. She turned her head and looked around the area, but she didn’t find John or anyone who worked for him.

“What do you mean? How do you know where I am?” Nina asked, her eyebrows slowly furrowing.

“Wait for me there,” John said, ignoring her questions. After a pause, he added, “Don’t hang up.”

“Well, okay,” Nina replied, not knowing what to say anymore. Then, she covered her phone’s mouthpiece and turned to Noah. “Noah, I’m sorry, but you don’t have to send me back. John will be here to pick me up.”

Hearing this, Noah wasn’t surprised and expected that, but he was still worried about her. “It’s okay. I’ll wait with you until John comes, then I will leave when I know he’s here.”

“Okay, thank you,” Nina replied with an apologetic smile.

Even though it was a bit muffled, John still understood the conversation that Nina and Noah had exchanged just now, so he turned to Henry and ordered with a bit of conviction, “Drive faster.”

Henry turned to look at John using the rearview mirror. His face blushed with shame as he replied with a stutter, “If I speed up, I’m going to see the traffic police.”

With a cold look in his eyes, John spat, “Do you think I care about that? I have money to solve that problem.”

Henry dared not to look back at John. In fact, for him, it was not a matter of money.

He felt bitter deep in his heart, but he knew that John was his problem right now and not the traffic police, so he sped up, but at the same time ensured that he would not violate any traffic rules.

Hearing no complaint from John, Henry felt that he was more and more capable of overtly agreeing and following whatever John told him to do, but covertly opposed to some of them just as this situation he was in right now. Still, he did it under the watch of John.

At that moment, he wondered why he suddenly felt a little proud of himself. It did not take long for them to reach their destination. John looked over his window, trying to find Nina. When he saw her silhouette a few distance away, he told Henry to go there.

Knowing that Nina patiently waited for him, John could not help but give a slight smile that broke his cold expression. However, as the car moved closer towards her, John noticed that she was holding a rose in her hand with Noah standing next to her. Because of that, John’s face darkened again.

“Stop here,” John ordered in a cold tone.
As soon as he heard John, Henry stopped the car and saw Nina standing a few meters away. He then pressed on the horn to attract Nina’s attention.

Hearing the sound, Nina turned and recognized that it was John’s car. She turned to Noah and told her something before she walked towards John with the rose in her hand.

As she walked towards the car, John opened the door for her, waiting for her to get in.

Nina gave John a smile before she got in and settled in her seat. She turned to him and said, “Today’s May 20th, a day for loves, honey.”

John gave her a quick glance without saying anything.

She knew it, and yet she still went out to have dinner with another man.

John turned his gaze on the rearview mirror and ordered coldly, “Drive.”

“Yes, Mr. Shi,” Henry replied and started to drive. He took a quick glance at the rearview mirror as he felt the tension in the atmosphere turn a little bit less subtle. Because of that, he did not dare breathe heavily and stayed as calm as possible.

“Yes, Mr. Shi,” Henry replied and started to drive. He took a quick glance at the rearview mirror as he felt the tension in the atmosphere turn a little bit less subtle. Because of that, he did not dare breathe heavily and stayed as calm as possible.

Nine frowned and also realized that John was angry, but she didn’t know why he was angry for no reason. She wondered what wrong she could have done to him and thought about it for a moment. Then again, she knew that she didn’t do anything that would make him mad.

She looked down on the rose in her hand. The drops of water had finally dried, but the fragrance of the rose still lingered in her nose.

Nina turned to John and handed him the rose. “Here you go,” she said with a smile.

John gave a quick side glance before turning his eyes on his window side. “I don’t like roses.” John felt uncomfortable. His fists started to clench at the thought that it was a flower that Noah gave his wife.

What was the point of his wife accepting the flower from another man?

Even worse, his wife was handing it to him.

‘No,’ John thought, not wanting to tolerate this situation.

Trying to control his frustration, John loosened his tie, not giving the rose a look.
