MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 46

Leon remained silent.

“Even if I am not your brother-in-law in the future, we are still going to be friends.” Vicente was a little frustrated. “Don’t forget how Valerie treated you. People always say that you were the one that forced the issue, but it was Valerie who approached you first and then broke your heart…”

“Stop!” Leon interrupted angrily.

After a few seconds of silence, he smiled again and said, “Thank you.”

Vicente shrugged. “Whatever.”

“Do you like candies?” Noah asked as he walked over to Vicente, leaving her stunned.

‘Why is he asking me that?

I don’t eat sweet food.’

She didn’t immediately refute, but asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I have lived in your house for such a long time and I just don’t know how to thank you for all that you have done for me. You have everything anyone could want, and I don’t know what to give you. Next time I send lollipops to Nini, I will send some to you as well.” Noah had thought about this for a long time. ‘My unique lollipops are the only things I can offer now.’

Vicente hesitated, but before she opened her mouth, Leon said, “Count Nangong doesn’t eat sweets.”

“What a pity! If you ever travel to Lexingport City, make sure to call me and I’ll be the one to host you,” Noah urged.

“Okay.” Vicente smiled and watched Noah leave.

Noah and Wynn went to the lounge first. Leon teased Vicente, “Do you like Noah?”

Vicente looked flustered and couldn’t get the denial out of her mouth.

“Don’t be nervous. I won’t tell anyone that you like men,” Leon assured.

Still stunned but not as overcome by shock, Vicente began to speak. “What are you talking about? That’s not true.”

He sighed, “No wonder.”

“No wonder what?” Vicente was puzzled.

Leon took a deep breath and said, “No wonder you don’t like my sister.”

Vicente opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but he stopped her before she could go on any further. He raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder. “My sister is beautiful. From her appearance alone, it makes a lot of men flock. However, you tried to help her and John. At the beginning, I didn’t understand.

It turns out that you like men,” Leon said with a pitiful look.

Once again, Vicente opened her mouth. “I…” “Okay fine. I know you don’t like men. You just like Noah, and he happens to be a man,” Leon teased.

Panic began to set in as her throat dried up. “I don’t like him.”

Leon didn’t believe it at all. With a dejected face, he spoke up again. “With your status, to be in a relationship with Noah is simply impossible.” Vicente knew what Leon meant. After all, she was a man in Leon’s eyes.

“I have never thought about that. Jett and I are the opposite. He prefers a woman, and I prefer my career,” she admitted gently.

“Okay. I’m leaving,” Leon said, patting her shoulder.

“Be safe.” Vicente waved her hand and watched him enter the lounge. Then she drove around the island.

After that, it was dark.

She then went to deal with the documents and only reached home around midnight. The only thing on her mind was going straight to bed.

The next morning, Vicente was absent-minded. It was not until in the afternoon that Nina and John came with the children. With the kids in her arms, Vicente finally came to her sense.

It had been more than three months since Van and Don were born. They mostly made little babbling noises as they stared at the world with their bright amber eyes.

Not only did they get their mother’s fantastic eyes, but they also got her elegant nose and mouth. As a whole though, they still looked like John.

All similarities aside, they were adorable.

“When you two grow up, I’m sure you’ll have all the girls wrapped around your fingers. You guys are so adorable already, I can only imagine how handsome you will be when you grow up,” Vicente praised with a smile.

“You take care of the kids. I have something to do.” Nina then went to the baking room with Cali.

When they came out again, each of them held a plate in their hands. Cali’s was filled with milky white desserts, and Nina’s was filled with rose red square desserts.

The air was filled with the faint aroma of roses.

The scent filled Vicente’s nose and she said, “It smells good. Are they the desserts made from the roses you picked?”

“Yes, have a try.” After Nina held the plate in front of her, Vicente picked one and chewed it carefully.

“How does it taste?” Nina looked at her expectantly.

Vicente finally spoke up. “Not bad.

It’s the first time you’ve made them, right?”

Nina withdrew her hands and coldly walked past Vicente, leaving her speechless.

‘Should I have not told the truth?’

Luckily, somebody else chirped up and commented,

“It’s delicious.” John seemed to have already tried one of the white desserts from Cali’s plate and decided to give his input.

Nina looked up with her bright amber eyes and smiled.

Vicente had no idea what to do.

‘Obviously, John is lying!’

Cali echoed, accompanied by a smile, “Count Nangong, it’s really delicious. There must be a problem with your taste buds.”

Still, she was speechless and didn’t know what to do. ‘You all have definitely lost your minds.’ Vicente took another bite and changed her tone. “It’s actually really delicious. I think I had too small a bite just now to get the full taste.”

Nina snorted and turned to ask John, “Did you smell the roses?”

John stopped chewing and looked at her with a warm grin.

“Yes, I did.”

“Have you tried their taste?” Nina stared at the dessert in his hand. She kept reminding him that it was made from roses and that she had fulfilled her promise.

At that moment, John really regretted eating the cake. After a long pause, he finally spoke up.
“Yes I have.”

“Okay.” Nina happily picked up a dessert and put it into her mouth. ‘It doesn’t taste all that special. Not bad but not good.’

After eating the dessert, she sighed, “It seems that I’m not much of a chef after all. Maybe it’s just for Mimi. If Mimi came to cook, it’d be ten times better.”

Memories of Michelle flooded every corner of her mind. She thought back to the mornings that she woke up to beautiful aromas of the grand breakfasts that Michelle made. She remembered how Michelle used to angrily chase her out the kitchen until everything was finished.

Absence really did make Nina’s heart grow fonder of her. The longing was too much to handle.

“I miss Mimi,” Nina murmured. She put down the dessert and took the child from John’s arms. “Van, the food your aunt Michelle cooks is incredible. When you grow up, I will take you to find her.”

“It won’t be long.” Vicente comforted her and teased Don, “Did you hear that?

You need to grow up quickly. Your mother wants to take you to find your aunt Michelle. Just don’t forget about me, okay?”

Cali cut in, “How could they forget their father? That’s impossible unless you mistreat them.”

“I won’t mistreat them. I hope they’re still around when I turn old and grey,” Vicente retorted. Nina reminded, “There are still dozens of years left. It’s too early for you to think about all that.”

Everyone seemed to have a warm feeling swell up inside them as they laughed.

John looked over at Vicente and suddenly remembered that she was disguising herself like a man.

“Sean, what are you thinking about?” Cali’s eyes had never left him. Noticing his intense focus on Vicente, she could not help but ask, “Is there something on Count Nangong’s face?”

“Nothing” John answered perfunctorily.

Vicente raised his head and looked at John’s enquiring eyes. Her heart began to pound.
