Chapter 194 John Was Away (1/2)
It was half past eight when John returned to North Yard.
Glancing around his surroundings, he frowned. Nina was nowhere to be found. He even searched the whole second floor, but he couldn't find her.
”Where's Nina?” John asked Amy and Lena.
Normally, Nina would either be sitting on the sofa while watching TV, reading books in the study or testing her makeup in the bedroom.
This had been her routine for the past month.
John didn't expect her to not be at home that night.
”Mrs. Shi received a call at ten past eight and went out,” Amy said.
John glanced at the time. It was already half past eight.
She had only been gone for twenty minutes.
He assumed that Nina was with Kristina. She was the one who had the closest relationship with her and who could probably ask her out at that moment.
John shrugged. If she was with Kristina, it didn't matter.
”You may leave now.” John waved his hand. Then, he reached out for his pocket and took something out. It was a small pink jewelry box.
Inside the box was the pearl bracelet he had ordered from last time. There were four words carved on it.
As long as Nina wore it, she would remember him and t
phone lay beside her and it had been silent the whole time.
