MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND - Season 2 Episode 48

The moment he set foot in Nina’s bedroom, John took a step back and nimbly dodged her attack. He quickly grabbed her ankle and pulled. Nina lost her balance and fell. She stared at him with a shocked expression on her face.

“John?” The dark expression on John’s face sent a chill down her spine. He was standing a few feet away, but Nina could feel his anger.

John looked down at Nina. His eyes were cold and frightening.

‘How dare this woman stay in another man’s house, sleep in his bed, and even wear his shirt? How could she do such a thing?’

He had come to take her back home, and she had tried to hurt him.

“You have really grown too arrogant, Nina.” John’s voice was flat and emotionless, and it sent Nina’s heart racing.

She did not dare look him in the eye. She had never seen John so angry before.

“Nini, are you okay?” The next moment, Noah came rushing into the room. He found Nina still on the floor. He frowned and bent down to help her up. “Get up. The floor is cold. How did you even get out of bed? Your feet are still hurt. You’re not supposed to be walking on them.”

Noah looked at the dressing on Nina’s wounds. Fortunately, there was no blood seeping out. He breathed a sigh of relief and helped her sit on a nearby chair. Even if she was not bleeding, she might still be in pain.

“I’m fine, Noah. My wounds are almost healed,” Nina answered. But in truth, she felt a stabbing pain in her feet as soon as Noah helped her up.

Her feet were hurt again, but she would never admit it.

She got out of bed because she thought an intruder had broken into Noah’s apartment. Even if it hurt her to be on her feet, she had to prepare to defend herself.

Hearing how Noah and Nina spoke to each other and seeing the concern in his eyes and her gentle attitude toward him, John could not help gritting his teeth. A hint of icy fury flashed through his eyes.
John approached Nina. He stretched out his hand, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her up. She winced as she stood on her wounds once again. When she fell into John’s arms, she frowned and bit her lips.

John took the gesture as Nina’s show of disgust. He thought she was frowning because she did not want to get close to him.

“Nini,” Noah called.

The concern in his eyes and voice hit a nerve in John.

“She is my wife, Noah! Don’t try to take her away from me. Otherwise, you will not be the only one to suffer. Kristina will also suffer. I can promise you that.”

Noah had never been afraid of John, but he was well aware that he could be the most heartless man on the planet. He was afraid that he would hurt those who were dear to him.

Kristina and Nina to name a few.

John tightly held Nina up, but she still stood on her wounds. The pain was beginning to creep up her legs, intensifying as it went. She clenched her teeth, and her face began turning pale.

“Mr. Shi, there are wounds on her feet. She shouldn’t be standing on them.

Otherwise, they will reopen. Please let her sit down.” Noah looked at Nina’s pale face and felt sorry for her. “You’re hurting her,” he hissed.

“Let go of me, John.” Nina felt the pain slowly overwhelming her other senses, but she could still see John’s face quite clearly. It was obvious that he did not believe her. He did not believe that she was in pain.

Noah’s words and actions toward Nina made John jealous. He was her husband. Only he could care for her when she was hurt.

“She’s not hurt.” ‘She was about to beat the hell out of me a few minutes ago. Her feet don’t hurt at all.’

It was not the first time that John had seen Nina pretend to be hurt.

“You’re coming home with me to North Yard.” Then, John carried Nina on his shoulder, turned around, and left.

It was not the first time that John had carried her on his shoulder. In fact, she had lost count of how many times he had put her over his shoulder like a sack. She was used to it and did not struggle at all.

She just let him carry her downstairs and toss her into the car. Then, once they arrived at North Yard, he carried her to the master bedroom and flung her on the bed.

As soon as Nina raised her head, John sternly ordered, “Take them off.”

“What?” Nina stared at the tall man in front of her in mixed astonishment and fear. With his back turned to her, she could not see his face, but she could feel his coldness emanating from his skin like deadly mist poised to strike her if she did not do as he said.

John repeated, “Take off your clothes.”

His voice was frighteningly expressionless. Nina had never heard that voice escape his lips before. She had seen him cold and distant when he was incredibly angry but never apathetic. John might be a ruthless man, but he would never hurt those he loved. And he loved her, did he not? At the moment, Nina could no longer be so sure.

Nina tightly grasped her clothes with her pale little hands. She started retreating into the bed until her back was against the headboard. She said in a scared, timid voice, “What are you going to do with me?”

Was he going to force her to sleep with him?

“If you don’t want me to push you against the wall like I did at the Four Seasons Garden Hotel, take off your clothes.” This time, John turned to look at Nina. He stared at her body with his gloomy eyes.

Nina swallowed as she felt her skin crawl.

Thinking of that ridiculous night at the Four Seasons Garden Hotel, she shivered.

That night, both of them were so fired up that they made love and did not stop for the entire night.

Nina hated it when John pressed her against the cold wall. The icy wall against her back and his hot body against her front made her feel awful.

She shuddered at the memory. She felt really scared right now that she wanted to burst into tears.

They were a couple now. It was normal that John wanted to sleep with her.

“You said that you’d never force me to sleep with you unless I was willing,” Nina protested. Her eyes had started misting.

She might be scared, but she was not going down this time without a fight. It was a fact that she was John’s wife, but she still owned her body. Nobody should have it without her say.

John took a small step forward. Nina could now see his face clearly.

“If you don’t take off your clothes, I’ll do it for you.” He started walking toward Nina.

“All right. I’ll take my clothes off right now. I’ll take them off myself. Just stay where you are.” Hearing the plea in Nina’s voice, John stopped walking.

She was really afraid of him. “I’ll do it. Just stand there and don’t move.”

Nina pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and began to take off Noah’s black shirt. She was wearing a bra underneath. Her milky white skin prickled upon contact with the air, and her black hair flowed a little bit past her shoulders.

“There. It’s off.” Then, she hurriedly grabbed the quilt and covered herself up to the neck. She rolled her eyes at John. John glanced at the bathroom and said, “Go wash yourself.”

Nina’s heart sank. Did John think she was filthy?

“I’d tread carefully now if I were you, John,” Nina hissed.

“Go wash yourself,” John repeated. The ice in his voice made Nina shiver. Reluctantly, she slid out of bed, wrapped the entire quilt around her, and carefully walked to the bathroom.

After Nina shut the bathroom door behind her, the coldness in John’s eyes dissipated. He picked up Noah’s black shirt and called for Helen.

It extremely annoyed him, seeing Nina in another man’s shirt.

‘Since you like to wear men’s clothes so much, I’ll give you plenty to wear,’ he thought.

As soon as Helen arrived, John handed her Noah’s shirt and said, “Burn this.” Helen just dipped her chin in acknowledgement and took the shirt. John added, “And I want you to throw away all of Nina’s clothes and dresses and hang my clothes in her wardrobe.” Again, Helen simply nodded and went on her way.

When Nina came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, she smelled something burning. John had left the room. There was a white shirt folded neatly on the bed.

‘I thought he wanted to sleep with me. Why isn’t he here?’

In the time that she took a shower, Nina had prepared herself mentally for what was about to happen. But where was John?
