Only you in my love

Chapter 140 Official Announcement

The contents of the marriage license were exposed in front of everyone. The warm yellow light from the

luxurious and gorgeous crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling bounced off them beautifully. The

light was so dazzling that it blinded everyone in the hall.

Nina was standing in front of John who was less than half a meter away. At this time, her eyes were

fixed on the two licenses on the floor. One was open while the other was closed.

The big, bold letters at the top said "Marriage License."

The open one had John's name on it as its holder.

The marriage license had a wedding photo attached to it. In the photo, there was a messy-looking man

with an unfathomable expression on his face and a beautiful, brightly smiling woman.

Nina frowned. She found the photo a bit strange, especially the woman in it. Why did she feel like the

woman in the photo looked like her?

But she could not be sure.

Nina kept calm, but she was beginning to be a little suspicious. Maybe she was just imagining it. How

could she be in a wedding photo with John anyway? Just because she had owned up to her feelings for

him did not mean they were actually married.

It was impossible and, truth be told, downright crazy.

'This is just an illusion,' she thought to herself.

She closed her eyes and prayed deep in her heart that she would wake up from all of this when she

opened them again. It did not work. When she opened her eyes, she still saw the marriage licenses

and the photo. Her heart started racing.

She went to pick up the license to have a closer look.

"It turns out that you're also married, John," Nina murmured, crouching down dejectedly to pick up the

marriage license.

Henry was watching John the entire time. He took a deep breath and thought, 'Mr. Shi is only thirty

years old. Why is his hand shaking wildly?'

John had not recovered from being stunned.

Why did the marriage licenses fall? One of them was even open for everyone to see. How did they end

up where they were?

"Stop." Returning to his senses, John decided to stop Nina from picking up the licenses. A look of

bewilderment and anxiety flashed through his eyes. The copy in his hand fell and Jessica grabbed it.

John would never let Nina see the photo.

When Nina backed away, John took the opportunity to pick up the marriage licenses.

"Stop, John," Nina said coldly. She tilted her head and looked at John with sharp eyes. Her command

made him tremble. The marriage licenses were already in his hands, and she looked at them with a

fierce expression on her face.

Everyone present was shocked and stared at Nina. How dare she yell at John? What was the

relationship between them?

Jessica was also shocked by the situation. Before she was able to look at the copy in her hand, anger

started burning in her eyes. How dare Nina yell at her brother? Did she not know who she was

speaking to?

She was John's sister, and she did not speak to him like that.

"Nina, how dare—"

"Give those to me. I want to see them." Nina looked at John straight in the eye. She was not really

asking. She was demanding to see the licenses. She did not care if she was in front of so many people.

If she was really the woman in the photo, she had the right to know.

Her eyes darted from John's face to the licenses in his hands. She waited calmly for John to hand them

over.

John was married, and she was in the photo of his marriage license.

If her eyesight had not failed her, everything would change between her and John. After all the charade

and tiptoeing around, she was his wife, and he was her husband who she had never met before.

John was speechless. At this moment, panic was visible on his handsome face. His entire body was

stiff like a piece of wood, and he could not look straight at Nina.

Gloom started clouding his face.

Nina wanted to see the marriage certificates, but he didn't want her to see the photo. He was so ugly in

the photo.

John hated his father even more. He held the marriage licenses tighter and tighter.

Should he give them to her? Or not?

He had never been so torn.

"I said give them to me!" Nina was angry now. John had never heard her use that voice before.

What should he do?

He had no choice but to do as she said. 'All right. I will give them to her," John thought.

There was now a fearful expression on his face and a complicated look in his eyes. Color started

draining from his cheeks as he handed over the licenses to Nina. When they were within Nina's reach,

he attempted to take them back.

But it was too late.

Nina had anticipated his movements. Before John knew it, she was swiping the licenses off his hands.

John swallowed. There was no turning back now. He was going to lose face in front of his wife and

everyone present.

He turned away and refused to look at Nina.

Everyone around began to whisper.

"He was being ordered by a woman but didn't get angry. He just obediently handed over the licenses in

his hands," one of the onlookers said.

All eyes were now focused on Nina.

Nina stared at the marriage licenses in her hands. Upon touching them, she felt as if spring water

flowed into her heart. She was not sure if that was a good or bad thing, but she somewhat felt relaxed.

Her hesitation gave John a glimmer of hope. He was about to take the marriage licenses from her, but

she raised her head and looked at him.

Once again, she had sensed his movements. She raised her eyes, giving John a warning look. He

paused for a moment and slowly backed off.

For a moment, John felt that it was a mistake to tell her the truth.

He had wanted to be a dominating husband.

However, it seemed impossible now. Henry rubbed his forehead and thought, 'Mr. Shi would be the

obedient husband now.'

Everyone around started whispering among themselves again, making the room sound like an entire

meadow of grass being swept by the wind. This must be the juiciest gossip in Lexingport City ever—

John was afraid of a simple woman who happened to be his wife.

When John felt everyone's gaze on the back of his neck, he looked around and threw daggers at them

with his eyes. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Everyone looked away in fear instantly.

John's eyes looked so frightening at the moment. If his eyes could kill, then the entire room would have

already bled.

"So..." Nina had opened one of the marriage licenses and looked at the photo carefully. She seemed to

be lost in thought with every passing minute.

She could tell that the photo had been retouched. There were obvious traces of it. Otherwise, she

would not be standing almost as tall as John in the photo. John was 1.9 meters tall, and she only stood

up to his chest.

Nina suspected that John was pulling a prank on her. She opened the other certificate, which she found

bearing her name as its holder.

The marriage licenses were issued two years ago and had the seal of the state authority on it.

John was indeed her husband. Damn! Nina froze.

Her eyes widened, and she started screaming internally.

Only John could make her shriek profanities inside.

"So, you're my husband?" Nina asked, raising her head and looking at John.

Everyone around was stunned. Several ladies from rich and noble families looked Nina up and down

with a revolted expression on their faces.

"This woman is so desperate to establish connections with people in high places. Everyone in

Lexingport City knows that Mr. Shi has been single all this time."

"Yes, she is shameless."

"Wait. Didn't you hear what Ms. Shi said just now? That woman must be Mr. Shi's admirer who came

here to make trouble. After all, tonight is Mr. Shi and Miss Ye's night. What a perfect time to mess

things up, right?"

"She dares to enrage Mr. Shi. She will suffer."

Nina could hear all the whispers. She frowned slightly and waited for John's answer to her question.

She was a little scared to hear it, but she had to.

On the other hand, John tuned out all the noise around him and focused on Nina's face. He had been

quietly observing her since she opened the marriage licenses.

It seemed that she did not pay that much attention to the photo. She focused on the legal relationship

between them.

'That's good,' John told himself.

With a slight smile on his face, he announced loudly and proudly, "Nina is my legal wife."
