MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 4 Episode 73

Firmly, John pressed Nina’s body against the wall. He then lowered his head and tried to kiss her. However, she was able to slide down and avoid his kiss.

At last, John came to her. Although Nina was happy, she couldn’t take her mind off the fact he and Vivian used to lie in the same bed.

The thought of it upset her.

“Why are you here?” Nina asked, turning around to switch on the light. The dim room brightened in an instant.

Nina stood in the light in a nightgown. Because of their brief struggle, John’s shirt had become a little wrinkled. He frowned slightly when he saw the calm expression on Nina’s face.

He knew exactly why she reacted that way, and he didn’t blame her.

Slowly, his gloomy face lit up.

His little girl was jealous.

“What are you laughing at?” Nina exclaimed. She had no clue why he was laughing all of a sudden. The change in his emotion confused her.

Without answering, John unbuttoned his shirt slowly.

Eventually, his solid chest was exposed. Rolling her eyes, Nina turned her head and scoffed,

“Don’t even think for one second that I’ll let you go just because of your good figure.

I’m not going to make it that easy for you.”

John had taken his shirt off, and red marks covered his body.

Walking towards Nina, he pinched her chin to make her look at him.

“I cleaned my body,” he said in a low voice.

Nina didn’t understand what he meant. Only when she turned around did she notice the red protruding marks on his body. Only hard scratching could cause those marks.

“What happened?” Nina felt sorry for him. She put her hands on his arms and scanned his body up and down. She also found that the back of his neck was red, but hot water was the cause, not scratching.

When her eyes went up to John’s face, she gazed at his eyes.

He held her in his arms and took the back of her head with one hand. “If you think I’m still dirty, I can wash again,” he whispered.

“No,” Nina answered without hesitation. She didn’t think he was dirty. She was just deeply unhappy when she saw him lying next to another woman.

“No, I didn’t mean that. You don’t need to wash yourself again,” she said softly.

John held her tighter. His well-built body clung to Nina’s. They could feel the warmth of each other’s body through their clothes.

“Does it hurt?” Nina asked. She looked up at him, and the resentment in her heart disappeared all of a sudden.

“It doesn’t,” he whispered, cupping her face in his hands. “I’m sorry, Nina.” John then kissed her softly on the lips.

“You don’t have to say sorry. It’s not your fault.” Nina couldn’t bear to hear his apology.

She went and poured him a glass of warm water. “Did you get hurt when you climbed into the balcony?” Nina asked him in a worried voice.

“No, fortunately.” John took the glass of warm water and kept his eyes on Nina. He knew that she had always been uncomfortable deep inside.

Nina smiled and said, “You’re good at climbing.”

“Well, honey, you are a good teacher.” John tried to please Nina, but he only got a faint smile in return. It was clear that she had something on her mind.

John knew what it was that bothered her. He took a sip of warm water and said, “I’ve already investigated what happened.”

Nina raised her eyebrows slightly but said nothing.

The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward and uneasy.

John continued, “It was my sister who put something in my red wine and sent Vivian to my bed.”

“Yes. And then?” Nina wanted to know how he was going to deal with the matter.

She didn’t mind Jessica trying to make a match between him and Vivian once or twice. After all, she was his elder sister, and she was like a mother to him.

But Jessica did it again and again. Nina couldn’t bear it anymore.

“I can handle it if Jessica doesn’t like me. But I just can’t stand her trying to push Vivian closer to you. I’m not that generous. I feel terrible when I see you next to that woman.” The smile on Nina’s lips faded as she expressed feelings she kept inside for some time.

“At that time, I wanted to slap Vivian to death. If Noah hadn’t stopped me and calmed me down, I…” Nina didn’t know what else she could have done to Vivian. It wasn’t unlikely for her to do something worse in that situation.

John cut in,

“Honey. Listen to me first.” Nina went on anyway, “Later, I also found out that Jessica drugged your glass of red wine and sent Vivian to you in person. I was so mad I really wanted to kill her. But you know what, I won’t do that. Jessica is your sister. And she has cared for you like a mother ever since.”

Nina lowered her eyes weakly after speaking.

When John heard how she felt, his heart ached. He stepped forward and held her tenderly. “What do you want me to do?” he whispered into her ear.

However, Nina just sighed helplessly again.

For her, it was not about what she wanted him to do. It was about how he planned to deal with it.

Even Nina didn’t know what to do. As Jessica’s brother, John was in an even tighter spot than her.

Jessica had loved and taken care of John ever since he was just a child. In the past, Jessica tried to make a match between him and Vivian because she thought only Vivian was good enough for him. But after knowing Nina was a princess, Jessica was afraid that John would be exhausted himself working to be good enough for Nina.

Right or wrong, his sister was just trying to do what she thought was best for him.

Others could blame Jessica, but John couldn’t.

Although John was very proficient at work, he had no clue on how to deal with family issues.

“I’m sorry,” John muttered. His helplessness finally turned into words. “Are you apologizing to me on behalf of Jessica?” Nina could feel the sincerity of his apology.

John nodded, “Yes. Punish me.”

Nina felt very uncomfortable. After a while, she nodded and said, “Go to the supermarket tomorrow morning and buy some instant noodles.”

“What?” John frowned. He knew the noodles she was referring to, but he didn’t think they were healthy.

Nina sighed and explained, “I won’t be angry anymore if you come home tomorrow with those instant noodles. But remember to tell the saleslady that you want the kind of instant noodles that will break as soon as you kneel on them.”

“Break as soon as I kneel on them?” John asked, confused.

“Yes, I want the kind of instant noodles that will break as soon as you kneel on them.” Seeing how clueless he was, Nina finally let out a smile.

John breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her light up. “No problem,” he answered eagerly.

As long as he could make his wife laugh, he would accept the punishment of kneeling down.

After a while, John asked Richard to go home and rest. In bed, John held Nina tightly as she slept peacefully.

The next morning, John got up early, freshened up, and went to the supermarket.

The saleslady led John to the instant noodles section. He looked around and waited until no one was around. “Which kind of instant noodles is easy to break?”

“Miss, which kind of your instant noodles is easy to break?”

Two voices ask at the same time. Their eyes met, and both john and adrian were surprised.
