You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 164 Jessica Became The Target Of Criticism

The atmosphere at the table was even weirder, as if the battlefield suddenly expanded.

Jessica had a quarrel with Angela. "What do you mean? Do you mean I'm brainless? I've had an investigation. All the students in the LD University said that Nina was James' girlfriend."

"No, no." When James was explaining, he peeked at John from the corner of his eyes. John was as quiet as a dead man. His eyelashes just covered the emotions in his eyes.

James knew John very well. The more silent John was, the more ruthless he would be. The whole family would suffer.

On the other hand, Nina was sitting calmly.

James swallowed and shrank his neck timidly.

"Jessica, you are simple minded. I know that you always believe whatever others say. However, you are already thirty-two years old and not a little girl anymore. You should know how to distinguish right from wrong. It's simple to believe a rumor for one or two times, but it's stupid to believe it for three or four times." Angela was not a woman to be trifled with.

Nina opened her eyes and saw the expression on Angela's face changed again and again. She was a powerful woman.

Nina liked Angela.

However, Nina thought she was verbose.

Nina just wanted to directly walk towards Jessica and slap her face. Thinking that Jessica was John's sister, Nina could only slightly suppress her anger and try her best not to interfere in this matter.

"Angela, how dare you scold me?" Jessica looked a little ferocious.

She had never been scolded by anyone.

Jessica was so angry that she picked up the red wine glass on the table and splashed the wine towards Angela.

"Honey, what are you doing?" Jason reached out and grabbed his wife. He didn't mean to be an onlooker just now. He just didn't want to blame his wife as others did and make her the target of criticism.

If he also blamed her, she would be lonely and have no one to rely on.

However, he didn't expect that his wife would splash wine on her sister-in-law.

It didn't matter if she bullied others, but she couldn't bully Angela. Angela was the daughter of a high-ranking official in the Imperial City. Her family was nobler than the Shi family and even Sam had to respect her.

At this critical moment, Nina stood up and approached the edge of the table. She raised her hand to overturn all the food on the table, pulled out the tablecloth, and took a step forward to block the red wine that was about to spill out in front of Angela.

The red wine splashed on the white tablecloth, making it scarlet.

It shocked everyone.

When the tablecloth was removed, Daniel was still protecting his wife. When he came to his senses, he took his wife's hand and walked out. "Let's go home, James, Dora."

It was not until they left that Jessica realized what had happened. "Honey, I... I didn't mean to do that."

"It's okay." Jason stood up and comforted Jessica, "Don't be so impulsive next time. I'll apologize to Daniel and Angela in person later."

"Honey..." With her eyes slightly red, Jessica leaned against his chest and sobbed, "I didn't mean to do that. At that time, I wanted to splash the wine on Nina."

Jason froze. He knew what Jessica said would irritate John.

John got angry.

The atmosphere became scary and Daniel was frightened.

"Nina, John, I'm sorry. She might..."

"How dare you!" Sam trembled with fear.

Sam saw John's anger and murderous look. He also saw Jessica's domineering and stupidity. He had to do something to prevent the family from being torn apart.

Sam hadn't lost his temper like this for a long time. Everyone could feel Sam was dignified.

Jessica lay in his husband's arms in a cold sweat.

"Jessica, if you continue to talk nonsense, get out and don't appear in front of me again." Sam didn't favor Nina, but felt heartbroken that he had such a brainless daughter.

"Dad, I'm not talking nonsense." With red eyes, Jessica ignored Daniel's dissuasion and said in a trembling voice, "Dad, you didn't scold me before. Now you scold me just for an outsider. Even if I really believe in gossip, it is a fact that Nina has a low status and doesn't match our family."

Sam felt distressed and said, "I've spoiled you. You really take yourself as a princess. Every child is the apple of the eye of their parents and so is Nina."

"What is she? She is nothing." Jessica was so angry that her eyes darkened and she fainted.

Nina was speechless. 'How could you faint before I hit you?' Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

With an anxious look on his face, Jason carried Jessica and apologized, "I'm sorry. I apologize for her."

"No, you needn't. Take care of her. I don't want to hurt my sister." John said coldly.

The warning tone was obvious.

Nina stared at John with her sparkling eyes.

'He gives his sister warning because of me?'

Outside the window, the night wind gently blew over the plants and also blew into the heart of Nina. Her heart beat faster.

"I'll take you to have seafood tonight." John turned his head to look at Nina's stupefied and affectionate eyes. Her amber eyes were very beautiful.

Her eyes were so charming.

John smiled and held Nina's hand, giving her a sense of security. Before he left, he said to Sam, "We won't come back again."

He didn't want Nina to be targeted again.

But he couldn't really hurt his sister. After all, she was his biological sister and she had treated him very well since childhood.

The only way was to avoid her.

This sentence was like a heavy punch to Sam. His body staggered slightly and his eyes were misty.

Sam just wanted a harmonious family with filial children and many grandchildren, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

"You..." Sam's voice sounded a little older. He lowered his eyes and said, "Okay."

Sadness was hidden in his simple words.

Nina clearly felt his sadness. She stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "Dad, he is joking. We will often come to see you in the future."

"Really?" Sam's gloomy eyes lit up in an instant. There were tears in his expectant eyes.

Nina promised with a smile, "Yes."

"That's good." 'She is so considerate!

She's much more sensible than this little bastard.'

Sam looked at John and hoped that he would agree that he would come back to see him personally. Nina held John's hand, indicating him to say something.

"Do you have the final say at home?" John asked calmly.

"Of course." Nina raised her eyebrows.

John didn't refute, which meant he acquiesced.

He agreed that he would often come here to visit Sam in the future.

Sam became happy.

This family dinner ended in discord. Everyone went back home.

As soon as John and Nina walked out, they met Dora, who was waiting for them outside and greeted them excitedly.

"Uncle John, Aunt Nina, my parents asks me to invite you to dinner."
