Only you in my love

Nina had always been straightforward. "I have come with..."

"Nina, you're here." Vivian suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stopped Nina from saying what she was about to say.

She was wearing a simple slip dress and a pair of flat shoes, which did not match her delicate makeup and coiled hair.

There was some dust on her shoes. It seemed that she came out here in too much of a hurry that she did not have the time to change into her evening dress and shoes. Her voice was calm, albeit a little strained like she was catching her own breath. Nina's eyes darted to the small fallen leaf stuck to Vivian's hair.

After looking Vivian up and down, Nina looked at the direction whence she came. It was a corner below a ledge with potted green plants on it. Fallen leaves were scattered on that corner's ground.

Nina surmised that Vivian had been hiding there and eavesdropping. She just waited for the right time to emerge like she just happened to walk by.

Nina smiled from ear to ear. It seemed that Vivian did not want anyone to know that she came here as John's date.

Maybe it was Vivian's plan all along that tonight's banquet was not only a birthday party but also an engagement party.

Maybe Nina was right about the reason behind Jessica wanting to speak to John so urgently.

Maybe she wanted to discuss the details of his and Vivian's engagement.

On the other hand, she had already confessed her feelings for John. Should she go ahead and snatch him away from Vivian?

But her divorce was not final yet. If her husband found out, she not only had to compensate him twenty million but also would be cursed by others for her betrayal of marriage.

She did not want that kind of attention.

"Miss Ye? What are you doing here?" Adela did not notice the expression on Nina's face at all. Instead, she was surprised to see Vivian showing up and greeting Nina warmly.

Isabella asked respectfully, "Do you know Nina, Miss Ye?"

"Yes. We had dinner together once." Vivian smiled gently. She could not let anyone know that Nina knew John.

John did not like women. In all the years that she knew him, Vivian was the only woman who could get close to him. If people found out that John came to the party tonight with another woman, what would they think?

They would definitely think that Nina's position in John's heart was higher than Vivian's, and Vivian did not want to acknowledge that.
