MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND - Season 2 Episode 72
The mastermind was finally revealed. John ordered Richard to cut off all the young man’s fingers.
Before leaving, John glanced at Ellison, whose whole body was shaking from the scene. John uttered in a cold and frightening tone, “I hope you can hold on.”
When John left the punishment room, it was already nighttime.
The black Maybach was running along the road, where there were several cars and people. Neon lights dazzled the night like colorful stars.
John squinted his eyes and ordered Henry, “Monopolize all the overseas business of the Song Group. I want it done in three months.”
Without any questions, Henry nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. Shi.”
Anyone who disagreed with John always regretted it in the end.
After he took control of the Song Group, Albert expanded to the overseas business. He spent two years developing the business and turned the overseas business into the most profitable business of the Song Group.
So, now, John also wanted to venture into the overseas business and make Albert suffer.
At this time, Albert had known that his plan had been discovered. Instead of getting furious, he knew he needed to think of a solution quickly.
Albert was not an ordinary man; he’d had many notable achievements over the years. He pondered about what John would do. Then, he adjusted the transactions of his overseas business as soon as possible.
The secret fight between the Song family and the Shi family began.
In the North Yard
Nina patiently sat on the sofa and waited for John. However, after a while, he didn’t come back. So, she walked over to the door and waited for him there.
It was already ten o’clock in the evening.
Helen heated up the food several times, but Nina still didn’t eat any of it.
Knowing that her family had sent people to search for her, Nina was distraught. She was afraid that they would find her, and she would be forced to leave John. Even though she was famished, her anxiety rendered her unable to eat. John still hadn’t come back, and she couldn’t find an appetite. Helen tried to coax her to eat dinner several times, but she failed.
At some point, Nina gradually felt sleepy as the night went on. She ended up asleep on the sofa.
When John finally returned, it was already eleven o’clock. He noticed Nina curled up on the sofa, covered by a thin, light gray blanket, and enveloped by a soft, warm light. He was unable to see her face clearly.
“Mr. Shi, you’re back.” Helen came out quietly and lowered her voice for fear of waking up Nina.
As she approached, John noticed that Helen was holding a new blanket in her hand. It looked thicker than the one currently covering Nina.
John put on his slippers and asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t she sleep in the bed?”
Sighing, Helen answered truthfully, “I have tried to persuade her, but she said she wanted to wait for you to come back. She hasn’t had dinner yet, and I reckon that she fell asleep due to her hunger. Now that you’re back, I’ll go to the kitchen to make dinner again. Please wake up Mrs. Shi and let her sleep after dinner, or she might wake up an upset stomach.”
Hearing that Nina had been waiting for him to come back, John felt giddy in his heart and smiled a bit.
“Okay.” John glanced at the table, where the dishes were placed neatly. They were untouched.
He frowned.
‘The little girl is naughty. She didn’t eat on time and didn’t sleep in the bed,’ thought John.
Quietly, he walked towards Nina. When he got closer, he saw that she was holding the edge of the blanket with her hands. There was a slight frown on her face as if she was dreaming of something unpleasant.
As he thought Nina earlier in the afternoon, John felt an ache in his heart. Gently, he picked her up and carried her in his arms.
“You are really naughty,” he reprimanded and gently pinched her cheeks. He stared at her affectionately.
“Cold,” Nina whispered when she felt his body against hers.
Then, she snuggled into his chest and clung to him tightly. After feeling his warmth, she gradually relaxed her shoulders and drifted off to sleep again.
When she turned to the side, the blanket fell down. John gracefully caught the fabric and covered her body with it again.

When she turned to the side, the blanket fell down. John gracefully caught the fabric and covered her body with it again.
It would take at least an hour for Helen to make their dinner. In the meantime, Nina slept peacefully in John’s arms.
Carefully, John took out his cellphone. He didn’t want to wake her up. Still, he couldn’t wait to read all about Nina: from her paintings to the previous serial killer case.
Nina was a woman with too many secrets. John knew he had to be more cautious. He couldn’t bring his guard down, no matter how attractive she was.
At around half-past eleven, Helen finally came out with their dinner. The aroma of the newly-cooked food caught Nina’s attention. She slightly stirred.
It smelled so good!
For a second, Nina thought she was just smelling it in her dream.
She sniffed and smelled the food. She opened her tired eyes and declared, “It smells so good!”
“So cute.” John smiled.
After blinking a few more times, her vision cleared, and she saw John’s face. When she heard his low and enchanting voice, she quickly perked up.
“You are back!” she said, her voice full of energy. When Nina realized that John had returned, she couldn’t contain her excitement and happiness. Her smile shined brightly like the crescent moon in the sky. It was adorable.
At this moment, John’s heart skipped a beat. He said softly, “Yes, I’m back.” Then, he patted her on the waist and said, “Get up. You need to eat dinner.”
“Yes, dinner is an important meal. Let’s go eat some dinner. I’m so hungry.” In the blink of an eye, Nina moved away from John’s body. When she felt a breeze of cold air, she quickly went back to his arms.
She even grabbed his hands and wrapped it around her. Casually, she said, “Let’s eat dinner in this position.”
John couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “What do you think of me? A heater? Or just some sort of blanket?”
“The one I love,” Nina answered without missing a beat. Rare as it might, there were times when Nina would be straightforward with her words. Her candor surprised him for a second.
When he recovered, a mischievous smile appeared on his lips as he asked, “Really? How can you prove that to me?”
Nina snuggled closer to him to prove it. “I’m leaning in your arms now. That’s the evidence. Hall, an American psychologist, did research on the physical distance between people.
According to his research, there are four social distance types: public distance, social distance, personal distance, and intimate distance. Right now, the distance between us is called intimate distance. It means that we’re important to each other.”
“I love you, so I’m willing to be physically close to you,” Nina muttered in a serious tone as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. A faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
For a second, he thought that Nina would just kiss him.
He didn’t expect that Nina would start explaining so earnestly.
After he listened intently, he nodded. “Let’s go to have dinner.” As per Nina’s request, John continued to hold Nina in his arms as they sat at the table. However, Nina realized that it was an uncomfortable position.
She moved away from John’s arms. “Let’s eat this way, it’s more comfortable.” Nina sat next to John.
John was rendered speechless.
But she seemed to have already made her decision.
After their delicious meal, Nina stood against the wall to rest a bit and wiped the corners of her mouth with a happy smile.
Then, John walked over to her and pulled her close to him. He lifted up Nina’s body and made her step on the back of his feet. He hugged her tightly from behind.
Nina felt her heart racing in her chest as she felt John’s breath near her. Thinking of what happened in the office earlier, her face turned red.
“What are you going to do?” Her breathing started to get erratic when she felt the man’s physiological change.
The corners of John’s lips lifted slightly. Nina was always particularly sensitive on this matter.
He felt that he needed to do something to tease her.
