MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 47

Vicente felt that John had found her out, so she tried several times to sound him out, but to no avail. She had to secretly enlist Nina’s help to find out what he knew.

After her morning run, Nina asked John, “Do you know something about Vicente?”

“No,” John answered calmly. The reason why he didn’t want to tell the truth was that he found out that Vicente was a woman through her chest. He was afraid that it would cause some misunderstanding.

Nina pressed, “Really?”

“Yes, really,” John answered firmly, and Nina believed him.

Vicente was relieved. Whether John knew the truth or not, it didn’t matter. Since he denied it, he would never reveal it.

In the blink of an eye, March passed, and everyone leaved a peaceful life.

One day, John was on his way to Scher Mountain to play chess with Bruce.

Bruce, the king of C Island, had been getting more and more impressed with John. He even said good things about him in front of Anne. After a couple of times, Anne gave in and decided to accept John too.

Bruce and John sat across from each other, staring intently at their respective chess pieces. Bruce said, “Anne has acquiesced in your marriage to our daughter. Vicente will divorce Nina by the end of the year. If nothing goes wrong, you can wed her openly next year.” Bang!

The chess piece John was holding slipped through his fingers and fell onto the chessboard, scattering the other pieces.

He raised astonished eyes at the king, hoping that he had not misheard.

“Since the chessboard is now a mess, let’s play another day. I have something else to attend to,” Bruce said with a smile. He stood up, glanced at John, and left.

John sat there in a daze for a long time. He wanted to laugh and cry. He could not wait to go home and tell Nina the good news.

As soon as he got back and entered the castle, he began to look around for Nina. She was nowhere to be found, so he had to ask Cali, “Where is Princess Nina?”

“Princess Nina and the twins are taking a nap.” Seeing John’s anxious face, Cali became worried. “Why? Is there anything wrong, Sean?” “So she’s in the children’s bedroom?” John tried his best to remain calm and keep his face neutral.

But he was really excited to tell Nina about his conversation with Bruce. Before Cali could answer, he was already walking to his room.

“I’m a little tired. I’m going to go get some rest.”

Cali replied with concern, “Okay. Rest well, Sean. When Princess Nina wakes up, I will tell her that you want to see her.”

“Thank you, Cali.” For the first time, John smiled at Cali.

Even if it was just a faint smile, it was enough to make Cali’s world bloom with sunshine and flowers.

“You’re welcome, Sean.” Cali was surprised and pleased. She felt like she had just received a great gift.

After John left, Cali turned around and immediately called her best friend. “He smiled at me and thanked me, Lynda. He never did those things, but he just did. I’m so happy!”

“Wow. Congratulations, Cali. Does this mean we’re having dinner soon to celebrate your finally having a boyfriend?” The woman on the other end of the line was Cali’s best friend, Lynda Jiang.

“Thank you. If Sean and I really get together, I will take you to have dinner at the restaurant you’ve always wanted to go to,” Cali answered with a smile.

“If you’re willing to spend that much, then Sean must be a really great guy. I’m so happy for you, Cali. I hope to meet your Prince Charming soon. Lunar July 7th is coming up. You can take advantage of it to express your love to him,” Lynda joked.

Cali’s bright eyes widened. “You’re right. I have to prepare for my confession. Then, we’ll invite you to have dinner with us.”

“Great. I can’t wait.” Lynda glanced at her colleagues who were slumped over their desks and taking a nap. The screen on her desk was still on, and the draft she was working on was not finished yet.

Cali asked, “How’s your work going? It’s almost the end of the month now. At the beginning of next month, they’ll determine whether or not you’re qualified to become a regular employee, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. I’m one of ten interns, and only two of us are qualified to be regular workers,” Lynda replied with an exhausted look.

“You work so hard. You will definitely get the job. I believe in you,” Cali said confidently.

Lynda forced a smile and said, “Sometimes, no matter how hard I work, there’s always someone better. Some have respectable backgrounds, and others have resources. I have nothing. Life is really difficult. If I don’t find an exclusive piece of news, it’s less likely that I’ll get the job. Anyway, everyone’s taking a nap here now. Maybe I should go rest my eyes for a bit as well. I’m running on fumes.”

“Go ahead. I’ll talk to you later, okay? Have a good rest.”

After hanging up, Lynda went back to her work station while Cali went on to think about how to express her love on July 7th.

The morning sunshine dispelled the cold and loneliness in the room.

John pressed the hidden switch on the wall and walked toward the bed. He bent over and kissed the corner of Nina’s mouth.

Nina slowly opened her eyes and said, “You’re back.”

“Shh, you’re going to wake up the twins. Let’s go somewhere else,” John said, scooping Nina up in his arms and taking her to his room next door.

Nina said softly, “What if the babies wake up?”

“Then we’re going to hear them.” John kicked the door shut behind them after they entered his room.

John took off all his clothes and lied down beside her, hugging and kissing her.

“The walls are not soundproof,” Nina managed to mutter in between kisses.

John let go of her lips and replied, “Then don’t make a sound.”

Nina pushed him away and said, “You rogue.” ‘How could I not make a sound? I couldn’t control myself!’

John pulled her back into his arms and whispered in her ear, “Since you disappeared last year, I’ve been dreaming of touching and feeling you like this again. During the past few months, you were not in good health, so I restrained myself. I can’t take it anymore. I want you, Nina.”

“Can’t you just hold on for a few more months? If we do it now, we’re going to be discovered. Is that what you want?”

Nina leaned against John’s chest and rubbed against it.

It would be better if she did not rub against him. Her slightest touch drove John insane with lust and longing.

“I can’t wait anymore. And by the way, I have some good news to tell you. I just got your parents’ blessing. We can get married openly by next year,” John said, holding her even tighter. Nina was so overjoyed that she sat up. “Really?” she asked seriously.

“Yes.” She made a small, happy sound and gave John a bear hug. Then, she ran her hands over his face, chest, and abdomen. It had been a long time since she had been this close to him. John leaned in and gently kissed her.

The temperature in the room slowly rose as their bodies aligned and locked in perfect fit and sync. Nina struggled to keep her little screams of pleasure in her throat as John rediscovered her with his mouth and tongue.

But before they could really get into it, John’s phone started ringing.

His clothes were sitting at the edge of the bed. They could feel his mobile phone vibrating, disturbing their wonderful reunion.

Nina grabbed John’s hand and said in a daze, “Your phone…”

John clicked his tongue in frustration.

‘I’m dying here.’
