MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 51

It turned out that Cali was the one following them.

Vicente asked, “How could it be Cali?”

The surveillance video continued to play. In the footage, she watched John and Nina leave, then squatted beside the door of the boutique and cried.

She attracted quite a lot of attention. Some even gave her tissues and comforted her.

Staring at the girl on the screen, Vicente said, “Why was Cali crying like that? And why was she following you?”

Nina looked at John and said, “She is crossed in love.”

“Crossed in love?” Vicente glanced back at the two of them and understood. “Did Cali confess her love for you?”

“Yes. I refused though,” John answered.

“No wonder.” Vicente felt sorry for Cali. “Poor Cali! She shouldn’t have fallen in love with you. It would have been better if she liked me instead.”

Nina’s lips curled up as she argued, “If she liked you, it would have been even worse. She would cry for the rest of her life.”

Realizing that she was a woman, Vicente nodded, “You’re right.”

With a shrewd glance at the two of them, John roughly understood what they were talking about.

“Call her and see if she has found anything,” John suggested.

“You are right.” Vicente nodded. “Nobody should be able to recognize you while you’re wearing a mask, but Cali is an exception.”

She then proceeded to pick up her phone.

Nina grabbed her wrist, stopping her.

“You have to have a reason to call, or she’ll know that something is wrong. Cali is very smart.”

“Let me think.” After a little while, Vicente seemed to have an idea. “I’ll ask her to send us clean clothes to the hotel tomorrow morning. I forgot to bring them.”

Nina nodded, “Call her. Turn on the speakerphone.”

Nobody answered her phone which left Vicente worried. “Did Cali commit suicide?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Nina was worried as well in all honesty. “Cali is mentally very strong. Don’t worry too much.”

“Hello, Count Nangong.” Cali answered the phone with a very nasal tone. She had definitely been crying her eyes out.

Vicente instructed, “Cali, send me and Nina clean clothes to New Pavilion Hotel tomorrow morning.”

“Okay. But all of your things are on the second floor.” Cali continued sniffing.

Vicente was at a loss for words.

Nina rolled her eyes at her. ‘You are so unreliable.’

“Cali, don’t listen to him because he’s clearly insane. Just go to the shop and get us some new clothes to wear tomorrow,” Nina ordered. “Okay, I know. When should I arrive at the hotel? I’m afraid that I’ll disturb you if I come too early,” Cali asked respectfully.

Vicente replied, “Nine o’clock. Cali, what’s wrong with your voice? Are you crying? What happened?”

Cali sniffed and said stubbornly, “No. thank you for your concern, Count Nangong. If there’s nothing else…”

“I hope you can just tell me what happened. We can solve it together.” Vicente had very real concern for this poor girl.

What Cali wanted to do was hang up and phone her best friend. However, feeling so much care ended up bringing her to tears.

Once she felt that someone cared about her, all her defenses collapsed.

She erupted into tears. All that could be heard was her blaring cries. “Count Nangong, I’m crossed in love.

Sean doesn’t like me. He is in love with someone else and he’s going to get married next year. I’m distraught in all honesty. I spent time making him a gift. I confessed my love for him. I thought he liked me as well.

He never talked to other people, but he spoke to me. He talked about you and Princess Nina with me, though. I misunderstood him. I’m just sad.”

Cali sobbed even harder.

“I remember Princess Nina telling me that Sean loves someone else. I didn’t believe it at that time. I never saw him talk to anyone, nor did he mention his girlfriend. I wondered if she was dead or something. It isn’t until now that I understand why.”

Vicente had never experienced the pain of being lovelorn, so she couldn’t really relate. Cali’s chocking voice was enough to break her heart though.

Love was the most torturous thing.

Vicente sighed and asked, “Why? Did you see Sean’s girlfriend?”

“Yes. She is a female star. She wore a mask that I failed to see her face. She has an incredible figure. They’re a great match. Sean was probably afraid that exposing their relationship would bring her trouble. That’s why he didn’t talk about their relationship. I feel so broken. I want to be happy for them but all I can do is cry,” Cali sobbed.

Hearing this, everyone in the room looked at each other with a sense of relief.

Cali didn’t recognize Nina.

Vicente coaxed her, “Don’t get too down about it. A good girl like you will definitely meet a better man.”

“But nobody is better than Sean. Now that I have seen his affectionate side, I like him even more. He is such a good man,” Cali interrupted. “Well…” Vicente didn’t know what to say. Cali had always been single-minded, after all.

She sighed and added,

“Cali, I’m giving you a month’s leave. You need some time to clear your head. Love requires mutual willingness. You can’t force his hand, but if you really want to, you can continue liking him in silence.”

Cali’s sobs began to simmer down a little more. “I don’t want to force Sean. He is such a good man. If his girlfriend doesn’t treat him well, I will try and pursue him again.”

Nina muttered, “Okay.”

John looked at her intently.

“Princess Nina, Count Nangong, thank you. Can you promise me one thing though?” Cali stopped crying and continued speaking in her nasal tone.

Nina stared at the phone and asked, “What is it?”

“Don’t let Sean know that I cried. I don’t want him to feel sorry for me. Although he looks cold, he has a kind heart.”

“Okay.” Nina agreed and hung up the phone. Vicente sighed, “What a good girl! She cares about others so much.”

John bellowed in his low voice, “I don’t feel sorry for her.”

He had so many admirers. If he felt sorry for every one of them, he would be exhausted.

“Since there is nothing wrong, we should be leaving.” John walked up to Nina, bent down and carried her away.

Vicente rolled her eyes. Nina exclaimed,

“Can you give me a warning at least? Put me down!”

John set her down. But before she could get her bearings, he said, “I’m going to carry you.”

John then carried Nina on his shoulder, her hair covering her face.

Vicente seemed to choke just watching this odd display.
