MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 4 Episode 76

It was already six o’clock in the afternoon when Nina arrived in Spring City. The scorching summer sun was glaring in the sky, golden hues settled over the floor, glinting through the glass window.

Carrying a small backpack on her back, Nina went back to her villa with her hands empty. The first thing she did was throw herself into the big bed and have a good rest.

The sea breeze gently blew the gauze curtains, and the shimmering moonlight shined on Nina’s soft bed. She was sleeping soundly.

The calm sea glistened in the moonlight. A cruise ship, with the logo of the royal family of C Island, was slowly heading for Spring City, guided by the soft light of the night.

On the deck of the cruise ship stood a woman with blonde hair. She was tall, and her amber eyes were even colder than the moonlight. Her lips were as red as blood.

This gorgeous woman was Anne, Nina’s mother. She used to be an international movie queen, but she had been out of the business for years. She was the queen of C Island.

The forty-five-year-old queen was well-groomed. At first glance, she appeared to be a twenty-year-old, fair-skinned girl.
She was absorbed in the dark of the night, enjoying the gentle breeze. She didn’t come to her senses until she heard footsteps behind her.

“Your Majesty, are you missing Princess Nina?” The speaker was Anne’s personal assistant, Rebecca. She stood beside Anne and gazed at the boundless sea. “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. You will see her soon.”

Nina was as cold as her mother. Most people respected and loved the two, but they didn’t dare get too close to them. In fact, there was little communication between mother and daughter.

There was no denying the fact that Anne loved her children very much. But she had been too busy to accompany them. Thus, mother and daughter were not that close.

“Nina has been gone for two years. I miss her so much.” Anne’s eyes filled with longing and helplessness.

“Rebecca, Leon said Nina made friends in Spring City and got married.”

She knew clearly why her daughter had run away from home back then. Anne had wanted to turn a blind eye to it and let Nina explore the outside world. She had thought her daughter would eventually come back and give in to the idea of an arranged marriage.

However, things hadn’t gone as Anne had expected. Nina enjoyed life outside of C Island and had no intention of returning to her family.

How could the princess of C Island live anywhere else?

A week ago, when Nina’s parents had learnt about this, Anne had all but flown into a rage. She wanted to ask her people to bring Nina back to C Island and denounce the marriage.

Leon had knelt down in front of his parents and told them about Nina’s happy life in Lexingport City. Their anger was pacified and Anne decided that she would bring her daughter back herself.

After all this came to light, Anne realized why she had been unable to find her daughter’s whereabouts. It turned out that Leon was helping his sister hide from their parents.

In a fit of anger, Anne sent Leon and Wynn to study in another country. She didn’t allow him to contact Nina, and even cut him off financially.

Therefore, when Leon left C Island, he couldn’t contact his sister and warn her that their mother was coming to get her.
Now that he was abroad, he could do nothing but worry for his sister.

“She has friends. I’m happy for her, but I don’t want her to marry someone casually.” Anne was a strict mother. She placed many restrictions on her children’s behaviors.

She had investigated Shi family in Lexingport City, as well as John. John was a powerful and outstanding man, but he was still no match for Vicente Nangong, the man she had chosen for Nina.

More importantly, Lexingport City was too far away from C Island. Who would be willing to marry their daughter so far away? If something was to happen to Nina there, her parents would be far away and therefore, unable to protect her.

It did not matter whether it was for her selfish reasons or for Nina’s own good, but Anne believed that John was not the right man for her daughter. She believed that Nina should marry Vicente. The people of C Island were all supportive of the marriage.

In the past two years, Vicente had never failed to show his respect to the royal family. He had announced back then that Nina was still young and they would discuss their marriage when she was twenty years old.

Two years had passed, and it was time for Nina to fulfill her duty as a princess and marry Vicente.

After a moment of silence, Anne sighed, “Now the Nangong family is waiting for an explanation. Vicente himself has been waiting for Nina for two years.”

“Your Majesty, you should not worry. Princess Nina will understand your difficulties and come back to C Island with us,” Rebecca said respectfully.

Anne shook her head slightly. “She is stubborn. Now she has friends and a husband in Lexingport City. It seems impossible for her to come back with us.”

“Distance won’t affect friendships. She can also contact her friends after she returns to C Island. Besides, she married John with the identity of a resident of Spring City, not her real identity as the princess of C Island. When the time comes, we can simply tell the public that the Nina of Spring City drowned and died,” Rebecca suggested.

Anne became enlightened and forgot what Leon had told her. She was even more determined now to take Nina back to C Island and have her marry Vicente.

“Can’t we get in touch with that person?” Anne frowned at the mention of this person.

She had found out about her daughter’s marriage to John in Lexingport because someone had leaked the information. Anne had her people investigate this person, but failed. However, it was certain that this person didn’t mean any harm to Nina, but just wanted her gone.

“I can’t get in touch with that person,” Rebecca said. “That person sent news right from under Prince Leon’s nose. Finding their identity will naturally not be simple. We don’t have the resources to find people living in other countries. If you ask me, I think Princess Nina is in this person’s way, but they dare not offend her. So the person went above and beyond to get in touch with you.”

The person who contacted them was none other than Vivian. She had indeed concealed her identity. Rebecca hit the nail on the head.

Anne and her people didn’t know where Vivian was, but Vivian knew their route. After all, this was no longer the sea area of C Island.

She had taken the same flight as John. She knew that there would be a risk of being exposed and it might jeopardize their plan. But when Vivian saw his back at the airport, she really couldn’t help but want to follow him. Thus, she had ended up changing her flight. However, she exercised restraint and chose a different class to avoid a direct encounter with John.

She would feel happy just being on the same plane with him.

But, this kind of happiness was not enough. She wanted to live with John, build a life with him, and have his children.

In order to achieve this goal, Vivian was willing to do anything for him.

She stood afar, staring at Nina’s villa. Her eyes filled with ferocity as she stared at the apparently calm sea and smiled gloomily.

“Nina, you can go back tonight. They are here to pick you up. You should go back home.”

Vivian’s words disappeared in the sea breeze. She pick up her phone and dial a number.
