MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 58

There wasn’t much information about Tim, so it was assumed that somebody must have gotten rid of any history he did have.

The most important thing Henry had found was that Tim had been chased away from his hometown and fled to Lexingport City. Vivian, who had been living in the slum, had saved him. They had struck up some kind of alliance and decided to make a comeback.

In less than a year, they seemed to make huge strides forward.

Before finding out Tim’s background, John wouldn’t do anything rash. Besides, Tim hadn’t done anything to offend the Shi family.

Henry saw a trace of hesitation in John’s eyes. He stood up and bowed. “Mr. Shi, I have something to ask of you.”

John wasn’t surprised by this request.

“Mr. Shi, I know my request is unreasonable, but the only person in Lexingport City who has the ability to compete with Tim is you. Anyone else either chooses to work with him or not offend him. Please help me.” Henry kept his posture. Adrian stood up as well. He also bowed and said seriously, “Please help Henry. As long as I am able, I will do whatever you want at all costs.”

The two men, who were usually proud, continued bowing to the man before them. After staring at the two of them for a while, John smiled and joked, “I feel like this is a Chinese wedding and you’re bowing to your parents. But your parents aren’t here. Just sit down.” Indeed, Henry and Adrian bowed together as if it was their Chinese wedding. In a Chinese wedding, the groom and the bride needed to bow to their parents together.

Henry and Adrian looked up at each other with smiles engulfing their faces as they stood up straight.

“Did just you agree?” Adrian’s smile only beamed brighter.

John smirked. “No.”

“Mr. Shi, I know that you have agreed,” Henry said firmly.

“You know?” John raised his eyebrows.

Henry smiled gently. “If I didn’t know, I couldn’t have been a very good assistant to you for all those years.”

John broke into a smile that he quickly concealed. ‘After being with Adrian, Henry seems to have become more shameless.’

“You should know that I’m not going to have any direct conflict with Tim. I will help you regain the Ye Group though.” Of course, John had his own things to take into account.

“No, I don’t need to regain any power. I’m hoping that you’d help me save my father. I suspect that he has been imprisoned by Tim. It must have been Vivian’s idea,” Henry said, sighing. Hearing this, John was stunned. Sam had told him that Howard had disappeared, but he didn’t expect him to be imprisoned by Tim. ‘Imprisoned?

He should call the police for this kind of thing.’ “You should call Noah,” John suggested.

Henry said worriedly, “His superior won’t allow Noah to leave Spring City without permission. Also, Vivian announced to the public that my father was in touch with her and nothing was wrong with him.

I guess Vivian has something on my father. He managed to contact me secretly and asked me to save him, but he forbade me from telling anyone about all this. The police will be of no help.

I went to try and see Tim in private, but he refused to meet me. He just asked his man to tell me that he’ll only talk to you. I had no choice but to ask Richard to call you back.”

“I guess Vivian asked Tim to do so,” Adrian thoughtfully chipped in. “After your marriage was called off, Vivian was depressed for a while. Soon after, she spared no expense in trying to find you. Perhaps she found some clues. In fact, in the year you disappeared, she had tried a lot to force you out.”

A refreshing aroma entered the room as Helen came to give them coffee and fruits.

Adrian took a sip and continued, “But your father managed to deal with her. She became quiet after that. She didn’t return to the Ye family until Tim appeared in the city.”

John smiled, “It seems that it’s not Tim who wants to see me, but Vivian.”

He raised his head to look at Richard and decisively ordered, “Make an appointment with Tim.”

“Yes, sir.” Richard then left. Henry said gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Shi.”

“Just don’t try and take my sons away from me.” They were stunned by John’s playful teasing. Adrian scratched his head, saying, “Mr. Shi, you’ve changed a lot over the past year. You seem to be more and more human each day. I have to ask your wife for advice on how she did it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Henry mischievously. Henry forked a piece of sliced apple and put it into his mouth. “You can keep dreaming.”

Speechless, all Adrian could do was pout.

He had thought that Henry was a bottom, but he was wrong.

He had tried to be a top several times, but to no avail.

He had decided to give up, but after seeing how much John had changed in the past year, he figured maybe there was still hope.

Maybe he could learn from Nina.

Almost instantly, John shattered his dream. “You’ll only be able to talk to her in another year.”

“Next year?” Adrian looked a little disappointed.

Henry narrowed his eyes with a cunning smile. Footsteps came from outside. Adrian poked his head and saw the bodyguards in the North Yard packing up. He asked, “Are you moving out?” “Yes.” John leaned back, lazily crossed his long legs, and picked up the coffee with his bony fingers. “I’m going to demolish the North Yard and build a wedding house.”

Adrian didn’t understand. “At most, you just need to redecorate. Why are you going through all this trouble? This place is one of the best mansions in Lexingport City. You can’t squander money like this.”

‘You can’t squander money like this.’

These words were uncharacteristic coming from Adrian. If there was one person in the city that squandered money, it was Adrian himself. Now Adrian was the one actually giving John advice.

John looked at him with a faint smile and said, “Henry isn’t that bad either.”

‘He’s taught you well.’

Adrian wasn’t as sure in all honesty. Henry got John’s point and responded, “I am not as good as your wife though.”

John wanted to agree, but if he agreed, it sounded like he was afraid of his wife.

‘No way.’

Adrian butted in and brought back the topic at hand. “So what is your plan for this place?” To build a love nest to keep a mistress?” “Watch what you say!” Henry barked.

Adrian saw John’s face darken as his coldness seemed to break forth.

He had offended John! “Well,

I’m just an idiot. Don’t mind me.” Adrian grinned flatteringly.

John ignored him. After seeing the luxurious castle on the Scher Mountain, he thought Nina deserved a better place than the North Yard. “I’m going to build a castle for her.” John’s hopes were high and his heart was full of expectation.

Adrian was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the floor. “Can it just be built that easily?”

“I’ve got enough money. Everything is prepared so it will be finished in the early spring next year.” John was fairly confident of his plan. Adrian’s mouth still hung ajar in disbelief. Henry hurriedly stuffed an orange into Adrian’s mouth. Noticing that he wasn’t chewing, he had to move the stunned man’s jaw up and down for him, like a rusty old machine.

‘In less than half a year, Mr. Shi is going to build a castle. He’s like a king, splashing his endless wealth.’
