John replied to Vivian indifferently without changing the expression on his face.
Nina hated seeing the affectionate way that Vivian looked at John. She also noticed that Michelle was still bowing, and angrily shouted at him, "John, Mimi is still bowing."
'Stop ogling at your sweetheart and ignoring the girl trying to thank you, ' she thought.
"It doesn't matter. My parents taught me that I should express my gratitude sincerely. Thank you, Uncle John." But Michelle really couldn't hold on any longer. Her legs were really starting to hurt being straightened out like that.
She partly blamed herself. After all, she wasn't exactly a person who exercised very often.
"Don't mention it!" He glanced at Michelle and reluctantly acknowledged her.
He wasn't going to address her if Nina hadn't shouted at him.
He did, however, stare at Michelle with real venom in his eyes. Only James had ever experienced his potent stare like that before.
"Thank you, Uncle John. Can we have dinner now?" It seemed that Michelle was oblivious. She didn't notice his terrifying gaze at all, but pointed at the seat beside the table and smiled sweetly.
"Sit down," John s
always the winner.
Vivian, who looked down upon Nina, didn't know Nina's husband was actually John, though.
Vivian sat down elegantly and didn't insisted on sitting next to John. She didn't want John to think any less of her.
"Brother John, what would you like to drink?" Vivian looked over the wine menu, trying to figure out what to pick. When she didn't see his favorite red wine, she frowned and said, "They don't have your favorite wine."
Nina sat next to John. Every time she heard Vivian call him Brother John, she felt a pain in her heart. She really hated this familiarity between them.
She was not a person who would hide her feelings. Since she didn't feel comfortable, she would find a way to vent her frustration out.
"John, why doesn't Miss Ye have the same last name as you?" Nina seemed to have conjured up a plan. She tilted her head to the side and asked John the question in confusion.
Nina's eyes were shining with excitement. John knew she must be up to something.
She really knew how to get her way.
"Why should we have the same last name?" John chose to play along.
"Didn't she call you Brother John?" Nina looked confused.
