Chapter 549 Cali Confessed
Around six o''clock in the evening, the drizzle finally settled down.
The crowd started putting their umbres away one by one. A man gently wiped the droplets off his
umbre, held his girlfriend''s hand and strode forward as they talked andughed happily.
Sitting by the window in the restaurant, Nina and Vicente looked down from the eighteenth floor and
watched the small crowd shuffling around below them.
The melodious piano music floated in the restaurant as the warm light of the candles danced around.
The te was decorated with roses, which perfectly matched the dessert.
Nina waspletely consumed by the delicious seafood spaghetti that she ordered. She took a bite,
and the rich vor instantly filled her mouth, like the sea breeze brushing over her face.
While Vicente cut her steak, she looked up. Much to her surprise she saw that Nina had almost finished
her spaghetti. She couldn''t help but remind her, "Don''t eat too much! Someone is waiting for you after
all."
"I can still eat more," Nina answered.
Vicente couldn''t fight that point. "I see. Do you want me to order more for you? I don''t want you to leave
hungry. John will say that I abuse you."
Nina smiled. "No, thanks. I''m almost done."
"Well, maybe you and he won''t eat anythingter. He''s going to leave the day after tomorrow and you
know he can''t wait to bang you." Vicente winked at her.
"Don''t look at me like that." Nina looked at her, annoyed.
Vicente clicked her tongue and looked back at her while mirroring her expression.
As the meal wasing to a close, Vicente motioned for someone to bring a bag over and hand it to
Nina. "Open it and have a look."
"Did you get me a gift?" She opened it and saw a ck mask and a set of clothes.
After staring at the clothes, she looked up a little confused.
"Don''t thank me. You can wear them and go see himter." Vicente leaned back in her chair and picked
up the champagne. "Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
After their candlelit dinner, Vicente left while Nina went to go change her clothes in the bathroom.
She wore a white bubble sleeve blouse and a lc slip dress, which gave her a sweet charm.
This was far from how she usually dressed. With the mask on, Nina couldn''t even recognize herself.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Vicente. "You''re so thoughtful. Thank you. Happy Qixi
Festival."
"Poor me. I''ll be all alone in the hotel tonight," Vicente replied almost immediately.
Nina sympathetically expressed, "Yes, I feel so sorry for you."
Vicente responded with a nk smile emoji which effectively ended the conversation.
Nina dialed John''s number and asked seriously, "John, I''m warning you to stay where you are and tell
me your location."
After a short pause, he smiled and said, "I''m going to find you."
"I''m warning you again, don''t move."
"At the gate of the Cloud Building."
Nina softened her tone. "Okay wait right there. I''ming to find you. Try not to wander around and
attract all the women around you, okay?"
John looked at all the people standing around. He stared and nced at their phones as they
whispered to each other.
Just standing here, he seemed to have already attracted too much attention.
"I think it''s a better idea for me to go to you."
"I told you to wait there. Just wait there." Nina was beginning to lose her patience and pouted in
frustration. "You alwayse to me. Can''t I just go to you for once?"
''When we were in Lexingport City, you always came to find me. When I was brought back to C Ind,
you still came no matter how far you had to travel.
Can''t you just let mee see you?
It''s my turn now.''
"No matter what, just stand there and don''t move." Nina hung up, leaving him no chance to refute.
John was left slightly stunned. She didn''t even get to hear his final few words. "Okay, I''ll wait for you."
He put the phone in his pocket and went into the Cloud Building. As soon as he entered, he wore a
mask that covered half his face.
Instead of keeping a low profile, he attracted every single woman''s attention.
"He''s so handsome. Is he a celebrity?"
"Could he be a model?"
"I feel like I''m actually suffocating."
"Hurry up. Take a photo. Wow, look at his legs. He''s going to give me a nosebleed."
"Call an ambnce for me!"
"Call the police. I''m going tomit a crime. If I keep looking at him, I''m really going to lose it."
"Why isn''t he my boyfriend?"
"I just realized that my boyfriend doesn''t even hold a candle to that man.
Will he get angry if I leave him?"
"My boyfriend will get jealous. I''m leaving."
"I really want to have a baby with him!"
Some women left reluctantly, but many others constantly went in and out trying to get as many looks at
him as possible. They made it very obvious what was on their minds.
John adopted his signature cold scowl and no one dared to approach him.
"Sean!" As soon as Cali got off the bus, she saw the most eye-catching man in the crowd and ran over
happily.
The people next to him were shocked. "Does he have a girlfriend? Is she here?"
"He doesn''t look happy seeing her at all. We still have a chance."
"So his name is Sean. I want to have a baby with him."
Cali was not surprised to hear their whispers, but her face became redder and redder because she had
the same thought.
"Good evening, Sean. Happy Qixi Festival." Cali stood in front of him and smiled sweetly.
"Thanks," John simply replied.
"Well, I..." Cali stammered, lowering her head and clenching the paper bag in her hand.
Someone next to her saw her angst and encouraged, "Miss, don''t be afraid. Speak up. Just say it
quickly."
"I..." Cali''s shyness only swelled up even more.
John frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"
As soon as his low and masculine voice sounded, the girl who announced her desire to have his child,
yelled in excitement. "I''m pregnant. His voice has made me pregnant."
"His voice is breathtaking. I just can''t get over how pleasant his voice is. I''m pregnant too."
Turning a deaf ear to the voices beside him, John stared at Cali''s red face and vaguely made out what
she was trying to say.
Cali looked up at him and said, "Sean, I like you!"
His frown deepened.
She shut her eyes tightly and plucked up the courage to say what she most desired.
"I have liked you since the first time you helped me. When you saved me the second time, I wanted to
marry you. I think I''m special in your eyes." Cali took a deep breath and opened her bright eyes. "Sean,
let''s be together."
She handed the gift bag to him and added, "This is the gift I want to give you."
With such a well-oiled confession of love, even the people around her rallied to her cause. "Be
together," they chanted over and over again.
Turning to the crowd that had gathered, Cali smiled. "Thank you."
"Done?" John looked at Cali. He wanted to refuse her bluntly, but she did do a lot for Van and Don.
Nina had demanded that he be kind to Cali.
So he didn''t interrupt her. He didn''t want to embarrass her in front of so many people.
He had to be clear though. "It''s my turn to speak now."
As Cali looked at him expectantly, the crowd held their breaths and waited.
"First of all, thank you for your love. Second, I''m sorry if I have caused any misunderstandings. Lastly,
I''m actually going to marry my girlfriend next year."
Every sentence felt like a knife stabbing Cali''s heart, turning her face pale.

There was a dead silence around them. A few people couldn''t take the heartache and dejectedly left. ''It
turns out that he already has a girlfriend.''
In the end, Cali was left with a bitter smile and tears flooding her eyes.
"I''m sorry." Although John apologized, he didn''t feel those emotions at all.
If it weren''t for Nina''s order, he would have never even uttered those words.
He didn''t care if anyone liked him.
He was, after all, a cold-hearted man.
