Deep Affection: Honey, Come Back To Me

Chapter 59 Fiancee
Jessica was John’s elder sister by two years. Out of all his siblings, hehad the closest relationship with her. Jessica pushed the door open and came into the office, holding Vivian’shand. She said with a smile, “John, look who I’ve brought. Do you remember Vivi? When you guys were kids, she used to followyou everywhere and call you Brother John. You haven’t seen eachotherfor two or three years by now, right?” With a sneaky smile, Jessicanudged Vivian, who looked shy. “When you left two years ago, she tried to come see you off at theairport but didn’t make it in time. Since you came back, she’s been
wanting to see you again, but could never get an opportunity. SoI
brought her here.” John looked up and saw Vivian standing in a
beautiful white dress. He glanced over at Jessica to see her lookingaround the office. He stood up and sighed before making Jessica acupof coffee. He very rarely did anything for other people, but Jessica was anexception. “The coffee smells great. I haven’t been treated so well in a longtime,”Jessica joked, taking the coffee. “It’s not funny,” he said in a low voice
“Humph!” Jessica rolled her eyes and took a sip of the coffee. Shewaswell taken care of by John and her husband. She lived a wealthy lifeinthe Shi family with very minimal stress. She basically had everythingawoman could dream of. She was sometimes a little spoiled though and forced her ideas onothers. Jessica just assumed naively that others liked what she liked. In Jessica’s opinion, Vivian came from a respectable family with a goodcharacter. She was a fantastic pianist, danced well and
looked great. Vivian knew how to please Jessica. Jessica liked her since their first
meeting. Even back then, she wanted Vivian to marry John. “Vivi, why are you so quiet? Are you too flustered to speak now? Has itbeen too long since you’d seen him?” Jessica winked and laughedat theblushing Vivian. “No, you’ve got it all wrong. I just don’t know what to say.” Vivianpursed her lips and blushed. She was just way too excited. She was still a little sad recalling John flirting with Nina back in HDSquare. She thought about that whole incident for a really long time. She had been watching him closely and studied his relationshipwithNina. She concluded that they had gotten to know each other after hehad come back from abroad. Jessica wasn’t impressed with Nina. She found out that Nina was anorphan with no family background and she was somehowalso married. She didn’t think John would love such a woman. Vivian always knew that John was close to Jessica and obedient toher. She was sure that as long as Jessica liked her, she would be able tomarry John. Jessica would definitely look down on Nina if she knewherhistory. Everything looked stacked against Nina. She was bound to lose this
battle. “If you don’t know what to say, just say that you miss him.” Jessica
didn’t hesitate to speak her mind. She was so insistent on settingthemup. She was so determined that she didn’t even notice the gloomy lookon John’s face. “Jessica!” With a sullen look in his eyes, he glared at Jessica. Jessica mistakenly took John’s anger for shyness so she sat back
leisurely, disregarding the severity of the situation. John looked at Vivian with his deep eyes as if he looked straight
through her. He said calmly, “You told her that we hadn’t seen eachother?” Vivian’s heart jumped. She shook her head and denied, “We havemet
once in HD Square, but I forgot to tell her.”
If Vivian told Jessica what happened in HD Square, she would havehadto talk about Nina. Vivian didn’t want to be the one to bring Nina up. Otherwise, John would get angry. Vivian was going to wait for someone else bring to light that Johnwasmesmerized by a married woman. “You forgot?” John wasn’t the type of guy to let a pretty face control
him. He couldn’t even partially believe her. Vivian felt nervous and explained timidly, “Brother John, I really just
forgot.”
“John, what are you doing? You need to learn how to be gentle withwomen. You need to stop being rude all the time.” Jessica stoodupandlightly slapped his shoulder. Jessica knew what kind of a man John was. He was surrounded by men, so he wasn’t
used to being kind and gentle to women. “She is just a little girl. You shouldn’t talk to her like that. You needtocare for her. No wonder you don’t think about marriage, even at your
age. You’re more than thirty now, it’s time to think about it. I don’t
understand why Dad isn’t worried about your marriage now.” Jessicareally did care for and worry about John. She couldn’t wait to seehimget married, but to no avail. And in all honesty, Vivian had been waiting for him for the past twoyears. “Jessica, please don’t blame him. I forgot to tell you that I met himinHD Square.” Vivian smiled gently, trying to stand up for John. This at least alleviated some stress from Jessica. Vivian really was thebest choice for John. John said a little intrigued, “How do you know that Dad doesn’t careabout my marriage?” His father definitely still cared. He had secretly married John toa
woman he had
never met before. “Dad really doesn’t care about it. I told him several times to ask youto
get engaged to Vivi, but he just snorted at me and asked me not tointerfere with your marriage anymore. He must not care anymore, right?” Well not really. She didn’t know about the secret marriage.
‘He just can’t marry me off while he’s already married me to someoneelse.’ He still couldn’t find the woman he was married to though. Howwouldhe ever marry Nina? What was he going to do?
He had already planned his life with Nina in it. He completely
disregarded the possibility that he wouldn’t end up with her. Vivian was struggling to control her excitement. Just hearing Jessicaurge John to get engaged to her, was enough to drive her to ecstasy. John was hers. He must be hers. Jessica patted Vivian’s hand, hinting that
she should calm down. John liked reserved women. It was also a sign that she was going to help her and that she was onherside so there was nothing to worry about. Not wanting to see these women anymore, John waved his hand dismissively and said, “l have work to do. Youtwocan leave now.” Jessica knew John was working himself sick. As a caring sister, sheworried about him quite often. She needed to get hima good wifelikeVivian to help him relieve that stress. “Okay, we’ll leave.” The two women got up and left, but Vivian very clearly didn’t want toleave John. Jessica comforted her, “Don’t look back. When you marryhim, you can stare at him all you want.”
“Sister,” Vivian pouted while blushing sweetly. She was really quiteanelegant woman. “You get shy so easily. How are you going to
spend the night with John when you get married?” The two of them talked and laughed as they got in the car. Standingatthe entrance of the Time Group, Nina was in a daze, feeling distressed. She overheard what Vivian and Jessica were talking about. Vivian was John’s fiancee!
