MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND - Season 2 Episode 53

Nina seemed to misunderstand what John had meant and maintained a serious face. “Having romance is a thing between two people. We should balance it out properly.”

John couldn’t help but chuckle at her response. He forgot that Nina was a little bit ignorant in that kind of aspect.

She didn’t understand the meaning behind his words.

As for her wildness at a certain moment, she was just trying to reciprocate what he had been showing her.

Although Nina was smart, she was still a little inexperienced in that area.

It was fine with John, however. The less she knew, the better.

If he wouldn’t be able to control himself, she might end up getting hurt in the end.

“How do you want to be romantic?” John asked bluntly. He didn’t think there was any reason to not be straightforward with this matter.

Nina stared at him blankly and blinked a few times before opening her mouth. She had never actually thought about it.

“I don’t know. However, we need to talk about this relationship between us.” Although they were now a legal couple, it still felt wrong for her.

John stared at her expectantly, as if urging her to continue.

Nina smiled at how John showed respect for her. “Our professor said that a good marriage must be the product of two mature and independent people with a win-win situation and mutual agreement. The both of us may already have our marriage licenses, but the truth is that we really don’t know each other that well. You may be more mature enough when it comes to experience, but I’m not. I’m only twenty years old and the only man I have been with is you. I’m not sure what could happen in the future.”

Her voice had gradually become softer. She took a deep breath as she tried to express what was on her mind. “I just wish that we would really be able to act like a real couple. If by any chance that in the future we realize that we are not compatible with each other, we can choose to separate. After we get to know each other’s good and bad side and we still end up falling in love, let’s hold a real wedding.”

After listening to what she said, there was a flash of anger in John’s eyes. “Am I still not enough for you? Who else do you want?” His brows were now furrowed.

“Noah?” Nina carefully stared at John’s expression. His voice sounded calm, yet his eyes stated otherwise. She didn’t know if he was angry or not.

Nina acted too calm and objective, and this annoyed John.

His eyes were no longer gentle. Instead, they looked cold and calculating. John came closer to Nina and pinched her cheeks. “Don’t dare to try and get along with other men. It is me who you liked first. Technically, we are a legal couple.

I’m the only man you’re spending your life with.”

This was not the first time Nina had experienced John acting like this. She knew what she was getting into the moment she opened her mouth.

Nina raised her eyebrows at him. What she said was the truth. If one of them was not mature enough, then one would end up misunderstanding the other. It was not that simple to enter a marriage just because they wanted to.

“John, I’m serious about this.” She raised her head and stared at his eyes. He looked so calm while the light danced all over his slender body. The shadow from his figure hovered over Nina.

John strengthened his grip on her. Although it was becoming painful for Nina, he still acted stubborn. Finally, he gradually loosened his hold and relaxed. “Go on.”

He had a strong feeling that this wasn’t that simple.

Nina breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him with determination. “Let’s make an agreement.

First, we should treat each equally. Second, I can’t get pregnant before we fall in love. Third, you can’t interfere with my personal life. You can’t threaten me with anyone around me to do something I don’t want to do.”

These three conditions she had mentioned were actually because of John’s manner of talking to her. He kept on ordering her around as if she was his servant or subordinate.

Aside from this, Nina wasn’t really ready to be a mother yet. John’s charm sometimes made her wanting to push him down. His energy was also somewhat extraordinary. The only reason she didn’t get pregnant the last time was because it happened during the safety period.

John also liked to threaten her with the people around her, especially with Michelle. He had almost ruined Michelle’s career this time around. If Michelle could participate in the training for a month, she would get better than before.

Silence met the both of them as soon as Nina was done talking.

The room was so quiet that Nina could hear John’s irregular breathing. This made her think that he was currently struggling.

Nina knew that John needed some time to consider her proposal so she remained quiet and waited patiently. Her amber-colored orbs were gleaming as she gazed at John.

“Okay.” John felt like he was hypnotized and nodded obediently. He was quick to snap back into reality, though. “I also have some conditions of my own.”

Nina raised her eyebrows. “Go ahead.”

“First, you have to admit your identity and fulfill your responsibilities as my wife. Second, our agreement will take effect right now. I will only agree to your request from now on. Third, this agreement will be valid for a month.”

A smirk formed on his lips, and his playful eyes observed Nina’s reaction to his terms. It was impossible for her to be able to take advantage of him this way.

“A month?” Nina frowned. She clenched her jaw as soon as she had realized her mistake. She had completely forgotten to add a deadline to their agreement and John was able to take advantage of this.
John’s smile widened. “The agreement should be mutual.

I will only agree to your terms if you agree with mine.”

Nina ended up sighing. She had no choice but to only nod and agree.

“Sure.” John had a sly look on his face. Nina was still young, so it was easy for him to manipulate her.

As soon as the two of them had come to an agreement, a smile formed on Nina’s lips.

Her smile was so beautiful and bright that it felt like it melted John’s heart.

Everything in his life had always been perfectly planned for him since he was a child. It was consistent and unchanging, just like an ocean with still waters. Nina’s smile was like the sun’s bright rays that reflected on the sea, making the water sparkle.

It was still dark when Nina had woken up the next day.

She opened her eyes and saw that the man beside her was still fast asleep. His long arms were encircling her by the waist.

Nina tried to get up as quiet and as careful as she could, but even the slightest movement seemed to wake John up. He pulled her closer to his chest and let out a deep breath. “Sleep a little longer.”

His voice was slightly hoarse, yet it still sounded low and magnetic. As his voice vibrated through Nina’s ears, she felt her heart beating faster.

“I’m going to buy some medicine,” she murmured. Her voice was soft and gentle so as to not wake him up completely.

John popped one eye open and squinted it a bit to see her. “What medicine?” “We agreed that I can’t get pregnant,” she simply answered.

Both of his eyes were now fully open. After several seconds, he closed them again and started to speak. “I haven’t touched you after the agreement we made.”

Seeing that Nina seemed at a loss for words, John started to explain. “I promise that you won’t get pregnant during the duration of our agreement.” He was sure that Nina would understand what he meant.

Nina frowned at him. She definitely understood what John was trying to say. She couldn’t take some medicine because that was before the agreement happened.

Her fair appearance turned dark.

John had played a trick on her again.
