Deep Affection: Honey, Come Back To Me

As soon as John caught a glimpse of her phone, Nina withdrew her hand from his arm to cover it. He reacted quickly and clamped his right arm to prevent her from withdrawing her hand.

Her hand was now stuck in his arm. She paused and looked at him. He was acting like nothing was happening. Nina wanted to laugh, but she had to hold it back. She quickly put away her phone and walked into the party with him.

The moment they entered the garden, Yvonne appeared. She slightly nodded at Nina and then turned to John. "Mr. Shi, Ms. Shi wants to see you," she said respectfully.

'Jessica wants to see John? Why?' Nina thought to herself.

'Maybe she will ask him to propose to Vivian tonight at the party.' A sense of displeasure blossomed in Nina's heart at the thought, but she decided to ignore it. She cleared her throat and said, "Since your sister wants to see you, we should meet her."

"Ms. Shi wants to see Mr. Shi alone," Yvonne interjected, averting her gaze. The tough tone she just used on Nina was quite hard to miss.

It seemed that Jessica wanted to keep Nina away on purpose.

"I won't meet with her," John said flatly. He could not leave Nina by herself.

T

that's all over now. Nina is James' girlfriend. We can't afford to offend her." Isabella's bravado vanished into thin air. She now looked poor and dejected. Nina even felt a little sorry for her.

Adela Zhu sneered, "James has already dumped her. In fact, I saw him talking and laughing with another woman."

"What? Really? How could that be? Nina, is that true?" Isabella was surprised. She looked like she was worried about Nina, but deep inside, she was actually pleased.

Since James would not protect Nina anymore, it was time for Isabella to take revenge.

Nina was rendered speechless by the conversation that just took place in front of her.

They truly disliked her but apparently not enough to do their homework. They did not exert enough effort to find out that she and James were just friends. They were terribly misinformed.

Nina simply replied, "James is just my friend. I'm not here with him tonight."

"Oh? Then with whom have you come?" Isabella asked curiously.

The one who brought Nina here tonight was probably her backer. Isabella needed to be cautious. She was afraid that she would cause another bout of trouble, so she had to tread carefully.
