Chapter 493 Please Behave Yourself
John hoped to keep everything a little mysterious. He knew that Nina liked to explore the unknown.
After getting a ss of water, John brushed past Nina and said calmly, "Good night."
Nina knew that she was not having an auditory hallucination.
John stopped and said in an enchanting voice, "If you want me to love you, I''ll be happy to oblige."
Hearing this, Nina was speechless.
She wondered if he was flirting with her.
''How arrogant he is! I am married! Even though Vicente is a woman, I am a married woman in the
eyes of outsiders.
Even though I don''t love Vicente, I''m in love with Noah.''
"Please behave yourself, Sean." Nina''s face darkened.
Without answering, John left in silence.
After a good night''s sleep, Nina could not resist asking Vicente, "What''s your rtionship with
Sean?"
"What?" Vicente stopped eating her breakfast and stared at Nina curiously. "Why do you ask? Do
you remember something?"
"No. Should I? Do I know Sean from before? My memory''s not entirely lost. I just have trouble
remembering things clearly, but I''m able to regain impressions with the right cues. For example,
after Leon told me about Mimi, it''s like a whole section of my brain opened up and I was able to
remember. I know what she looks like now and that she''s very important to me. But I don''t
remember Sean at all."
Hearing this, Vicente thought, ''He has changed his name. Of course you won''t be able to regain his
impression.
And if he had kept his name, his impression would''vee to you in the form of a splitting
headache.''
Afraid of uttering anything wrong, Vicente carefully asked, "Did Sean tell you something?"
"He just told me that someone asked him to stay here to protect the twins. But I think he was lying.
I''m not sure."
Vicente replied, "Oh, he was lying, all right. Sean has to protect not only Van and Don but also you.
As for the rest, he''s being truthful."
Nina was silent for a while and then asked, "Who asked him to protect us?"
"I don''t know." Vicente ate her breakfast as if nothing was happening. She had been masquerading
as a man for so many years. To this day, no one had noticed that she was acting. Her acting skills
were so naturally superb that even Nina initially failed to see through them.
With her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, Nina said, "How could you keep him here without looking
into his background? You and Leon were supposed to be cautious people."
"I''ve done my homework on Sean. He is a powerful man. He has a reputation that inspires both awe
and fear. He''s not someone who can be easily hired with money, and whoever has hired him to
protect you and our children must be desperate to keep you and the twins safe." Vicente felt that
she was really good at ttering John.
"But where''s he from?"
"My dear princess, do you trust me?" Vicente looked like a dissatisfied husband.
Nina was so amused by Vicente''s expression that she almost chuckled. "We can never be too
careful."
"We''re a couple. It''s my duty to keep you out of harm''s way." Vicente believed that Nina could
understand what she meant, so she promised, "Trust me, Sean is a good man to have around."
"But how good exactly is he?"
"He can fight and do other stuff."
"I know he''s good at kung fu, but what do you mean by other stuff? What else could he possibly do
except standing guard? Doing household chores? We already have enough people for
housekeeping."
Vicente put her hand on her forehead and said, "There are many things he can do such as chatting
and flirting..."
"Oh, stop right there! What the hell are you talking about?" Nina red at Vicente angrily. "If you
want, you can keep him yourself."
"No, no. Sean is yours. Besides, I''m not interested in him, but I strongly suggest you give him a
chance." Vicente snickered. She was really trying her best to get the two to get back together.
"Don''t be ridiculous!" Nina warned her. "I don''t care if you''re joking right now or not, but don''t let
Noah hear any of it. Otherwise, we will beat you until you''re unrecognizable."
Vicente was shocked by Nina''sst sentence. She had heard of the word "unrecognizable" from
John.
So she immediately folded and smiled obsequiously. "Eat your fried eggs. They''re good for your
health."
After breakfast, Vicente told Nina, "By the way, I''ll be very busy this week. I may have to work long
hours and not make it home in time for dinner. I''ll ask Sean to apany you and..."
"No. I''m okay to have dinner on my own. Why do you have to find someone to eat with me?"
Vicente''s face darkened at once. "Nina, I know you don''t care that much about me, but please don''t
be too straightforward. Help me save face. The servants are all here in the daytime."
Nina realized what Vicente really cared about andughed heartlessly. "They''re all outside right
now. They can''t hear us in here."
The dining room was also a private space. The servants always left after serving the food. They
only stayed when Vicente or Nina told them to.
There was no outsider present at the moment, so Nina and Vicente could freely speak.
"Vicente, I don''t want Sean to join me at dinner," Nina said seriously. Every time she saw Sean, she
felt embarrassed for no reason. She felt like she was being narcissistic for thinking that he might
actually like her in a romantic way.
Also, she still was not over the fact that she was not able to knock Sean down when she was
powerful enough to send more than half of the entire staff to the hospital.
"I will also ask Cali to join you," Vicente coaxed her. "Didn''t you say before that it was boring to eat
alone? My mother is now receiving treatment in the hospital, and I''m busy with my work, so I can''t
apany you. I can only find someone to temporarily rece me. Cali and Sean are trustworthy
people.
That''s it. I have to go." Vicente stood up.
He made the decision without giving Nina a chance to retort.

Nina stood up and saw Vicente to the door. "Take care, okay?"
Before leaving, Vicente held Nina in her arms and whispered in her ear, "Don''t worry about me. As
soon as I leave, Jett will definitelye to make trouble. You can deal with him yourself if you want
to, but if not, just ask Sean to throw him out. If there''s anything else, wait for me to deal with it.
Also, don''t believe anyone except for Cali and Sean. The thing I''m going to do this time is very
tricky. I suspect that Jett is trying to lure me away from you and the kids, so you must be extra
careful. Except for Cali and Sean, don''t let anyone near Van and Don."
Hearing this, Nina put on a serious expression.
At first, she thought that Vicente was simply too busy to go home as usual. She did not expect that
there was more to the story.
Since giving birth to the twins, she had been so happy and excited about motherhood that she had
forgotten the danger posed by Vicente''s power-hungry cousin Jett. Ever since Van and Don were
born, Jett had been lurking around more than usual, possibly looking for an opportunity to strike.
Nina whispered, "Got it."
"All right. You don''t have to worry too much about me. Jett has been trying to bring me down for
years. He hasn''t seeded, and I''m doing everything in my power to keep it that way." Vicente
gently patted Nina on the back before letting her go.
"Count Nangong will be away for a week. Princess Nina must be very sad to part with him." Seeing
the two hugging out their goodbyes, Cali felt like she was watching a wife seeing off her soldier
husband to war. She was so moved that she wanted to cry.
At that time, John was standing not far behind Cali. Seeing Nina and Vicente hugging sent a surge
of anger and jealousy through him. Hearing what Cali said, he turned around and went back inside.
When Nina came back in, John sprayed her with a bottle of rubbing alcohol he found lying around.
He said coldly, "You need to disinfect before interacting with the twins."
