MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 68

When Nina woke up the next day, she reached for John but was only met with a cold space where he was supposed to be laying.

She sat up and looked at the time. It was eight o’clock in the morning.

Although it was earlier than she expected, she felt well rested after a good night’s sleep.

“I think he’s probably gone to work. I thought he wouldn’t leave for work for the sake of a beauty like me,” she murmured with her sleepy eyes.

“Beauty, are you awake?” At this moment, John quietly appeared at the door of the bedroom. He was wearing casual clothes and leaning against the wall, leisurely and relaxed.

She was surprised and inquired, “Didn’t you go to work?”

He walked towards her. “It’s weekend.”

“Oh, right. It’s Saturday.” Sitting on the bed, she stretched and said with a smile, “Good morning.”

“Good morning. Go clean yourself up and have breakfast. I’ll take you out after that.” He then walked over and picked her up.

“Okay.” Nina kissed him. “Where are we going?”
“I have arranged everything. But you have to put on your hat and mask again. You did say that you don’t want anyone to know you’re back, right?” John put her on the washing table in the bathroom, squeezed the toothpaste on the toothbrush and handed it to her.

“Why does it feel like you’re treating me like a child?” She took the toothbrush and put it into her mouth.

As John soaked the towel with hot water, he said, “I’m just taking care of my wife.”

“I have my own hands and feet. You look after me like I can’t move,” she complained in a daze as the toothpaste foamed in her mouth.

He put the towel aside and said with a smile, “Okay, wash your face when you’re done. Chester and I will wait for you in the dining room.”

“Okay.” A grin spread across her face, exposing her toothpaste-filled mouth.

John helped her put on her shoes, she jumped off the washstand and continued brushing her teeth in front of the mirror.

The three of them sat at the table to have breakfast. Nina said, “Chester, I hope you can put what happened yesterday behind you. You’ve skipped so many grades that you barely had any time having a school life. You can’t lose your college life as well.

Don’t rush to graduate early as well. Just enjoy the college experience for now, okay?” She reached out and touched his head, thinking that she would never let Van and Don skip grades when the time came to it. They were definitely going to have a childhood instead.

“Okay,” he replied without hesitation.

“That’s right. After graduation, you’re only going to be sixteen years old anyway.” Nina smiled gently.

“By then, I may reach Uncle John’s jaw.” Chester was once again looking forward to the days that he’d grow taller.

Nina nodded, “Yes. Are you going back to school today? I’m sorry that I won’t be able see you off at the airport. Be careful, okay?”

“It doesn’t matter. Aunt Nina, are you going back to C Island soon? Are you not going to contact anyone, like Uncle John?” Chester was slightly aggrieved.

With an apologetic smile, she replied, “I’ll be back next year. Study hard.”

“Oh that’s less than half a year. We can wait that long.” Suddenly, a thought crossed the boy’s mind. “Aunt Nina, are you going to go and see Mim mehe nodded and said, “Of course, but I have to keep it a secret.”

“You can’t go,” John interrupted.

Chester guessed that his uncle was jealous again.

“I haven’t seen Mimi for such a long time.” She looked heartbroken.

John knew that the two of them thought that he was jealous. But that was not that main point.

“I’m not jealous. Michelle lives with Leon. If you go to see her, your brother will find out and has to cover up for you. Who knows what kind of punishment he’ll get if your mom finds out.” With a meaningful smile, John continued, “He’s so downtrodden that he can barely afford a cup of soybean milk.”

Nina was confused. “What? What are you talking about?”

John explained, “James saw it with his own eyes and told me.”

“Really?” Nina was still skeptical. “Mom wouldn’t be so cruel to Leon, would she?”

“Are you sure?” John asked, raising his eyebrows.

Nina had no choice but to believe him. “Yeah, it’s very possible that my mother would lash out like that, unfortunately. I’d rather not cause Leon more trouble. I won’t see Mimi for the time being, but…”

It still didn’t sit right with her.

However, she realized that if her mother found out that she left C Island to come here, she’d certainly ask Leon about it.

Nina had a bitter taste in her mouth.

“I have to go back tomorrow.”

She regretted saying that. She knew that she had just dampened their mood.

Looking at Chester, she knew his mood dropped like a stone.

She hurriedly looked over at John. He seemed to be fine at least.

“I’ll go back with you tomorrow. It was your idea to come and see me, but I promised you that I would go to C Island once every half month to visit you,” he said cunningly.

Smiling, Nina exclaimed, “Great! By the way, the milk in the Lexingport City is delicious!”

John looked at his adorable wife and couldn’t help smiling.

John and Nina spent the whole day eating, drinking and shopping together. They avoided places that were usually crowded to minimize the risk of being recognized.

Nina made a special trip to the restaurant run by Ford and Evelyn. She saw them talking from a distance. She had no idea what they were talking about, but she saw Evelyn happily twirling like a fairy tale.

Nina then went to Blue Lake to mourn for Kristina and Albert. She stood there till the sun went down.

At night, Nina managed to get Vivian to meet her, using John’s name. She covered Vivian’s head with a sack and dragged her into an alley to beat her up.

Nina didn’t utter any sound in the whole process, venting her anger at Vivian.

John stood aside to keep watch.

The next day, when Vivian woke up in the hospital, she called the police in her rage but to no avail.

She was so furious that her face turned a lifeless pale color. She called John and reported, “Mr. Shi, someone was pretending to be you and asked me out last night.”

“And then?” John asked calmly.

She gritted her teeth and said, “Then I was beaten up. Someone pretended to be you. Mr. Shi. I strongly urge you to find out who it was.” “It doesn’t matter. They only used my name to hurt you anyway. There’s no reason for me to pursue this,” he calmly responded.

The call fell silent.

All Nina and John could hear was the commotion from the other end of the line.

Vivian was soon rushed to the emergency room because she was so angry that she passed out.

As soon as the call was cut, Nina burst into a fit of laughter.

“It was just a beating. You can laugh after she is sentenced to life imprisonment.” John put his hand on her back to calm her down. He was so afraid that she was laughing too much to even breathe.

“All right, all right. I’ll relax now.” She waved her hand and took a deep breath. “Even if you find all the evidence you need, she will only get sentenced to three years at most.”

John’s eyes darkened. “It’s just a matter of time. Vivian is a greedy woman. She’s chosen this path, but she doesn’t have the self-control of Tim. Sooner or later, she’ll break the law.”

“If so, will it be difficult to get the evidence? Although you said that Tim won’t protect her anymore, they are working together. Tim will never do something stupid to get himself in trouble,” Nina said.

John patted her on the waist and said, “There’s no need for you to think about it. We’re going to C Island.”

“Okay.” Nina stood up. “I’ll tell Vicente to pick me up.”

Vicente, who was far away from the C Vicente, who was far away from the C Island, had just come back after meeting with Anne. With all that she had to deal with, she was exhausted and could barely stand. She leaned against the sofa just to support her aching legs.

After reading the message from Nina, Vicente threw her car keys to Cali and said, “Princess Nina has come back from her trip. Go to the airport to pick her up.”

Cali picked up the key and said, “Okay.”
