Chapter 567 Business Is Business


    The smell of fried eggs wafted from the kitchen. The pleasant aroma made Nina''s and Chester''s


    stomachs rumble.


    By this time, Chester already had dinner.


    "Hey, smells good, huh?" Nina said to him, ncing at his tummy.


    Chester just looked back at her without saying a word.


    "Listen, Chester. You like your uncle John very much, don''t you?" Nina asked out of the blue.


    Chester had a bad feeling about where the conversation was headed. Nina went on, "Do you want


    topete with me for his favor?"


    Chester was speechless.


    Nina continued, "Be a good boy, Chester. Don''t try topete with me."


    Hearing this, Chester was shocked.


    He found it hard to believe what Nina just said to him.


    Looking at her nkly, Chester tried to process what Nina was telling him.


    He remembered what John said to him before.


    John had warned him not topete with him for Nina''s favor. And now Nina said something


    simr.


    Seeing his reaction, Nina burst intoughter. "All right, all right. I was just kidding! But you have to


    remember that you can''tpete with me. Even your cousins are no exception. I can see how John


    spends all his time on them when they are together."


    Chester was still stunned and couldn''t say a word.


    ''What are you saying, Aunt Nina?


    How could you be jealous of your own children?'' Chester thought to himself.


    After a while, John came out holding a te of fried eggs with tomatoes. He was listening to the


    conversation the whole time.


    "Is that what you think, Nina?" Keeping his eyes on her, John set the te down on the table and


    put two pairs of chopsticks beside it.


    Nina just shrugged her shoulders and snorted. She felt that the children were more important than


    her in John''s eyes.


    John just smiled to himself without saying anything. He also didn''t want Nina to spend all her time


    on Van and Don and leave him aside.


    "Uncle John, did you cook this yourself?" Chester stared at the dish, still steaming on the te.


    The eggs and tomatoes looked like they were perfectly cooked and seasoned just right.


    "Can we have one more pair of chopsticks?" Chester turned to look at the two of them. "I want to


    eat too."


    "That pair of chopsticks is for you," John said to him.


    "Uncle John, aren''t you going to eat?" Without skipping a beat, Chester took the chopsticks and ate


    a piece of fried egg.


    John looked at him with a smile and said, "Nina and I will share the other pair of chopsticks."


    Chester rolled his eyes at his public disy of affection and swallowed the piece of egg in his


    mouth.


    Nina took a bite as well andplimented John, "Well, it''s delicious. Are you sure this is your first


    time cooking?"


    "Yes. I just learned by watching how others cook online," John answered.


    Nina gave him a thumbs-up sign. John smiled discreetly.


    "You''re the best in the world," Nina remarked.


    John curled his lips; he was proud.


    Chester couldn''t understand why they were being so childish. It was not until he had a crush on


    someone that he understood. A simplepliment from the person you liked was worth much more


    than the ttery of a thousand people.


    At night, John held Nina in his arms as theyy in bed. He put one of his legs on top of her and


    pulled her close to him.


    Nina didn''t know whether to cry or tough.


    She leaned closer and fell asleep like a baby.


    On the other hand, Vivian had a tough night.


    Wearing a slip dress, she sat on Tim''sp and put her smooth arms around his neck. "Why did you


    insult me in front of others today? Don''t you know that you embarrassed yourself as well? But since


    you came to apologize, I forgive you."


    "Get out!" Tim yelled, pushing her off hisp.


    Vivian staggered to her feet, and the smile on her face quickly disappeared. "What''s wrong with


    you, Tim?"

    "I want to know what''s wrong with you." Tim raised his head to look at her. His dark pupils gleamed


    with anger. "Is it fun to lie to me? Is it fun to use me?"


    Vivian''s heart skipped a beat. She was so nervous that she didn''t even dare to look at him.


    ''Did he already know?'' she wondered.


    Noticing her panic, Tim said, "I have reached an agreement with John. I won''t protect you, and he


    won''t kill you. Whether he''ll torture you or not, that''s your problem from now on."


    Hearing what he said, Vivian breathed a sigh of relief.


    She was too shocked and scared just now.


    ''How could Tim be suspicious? Even I myself couldn''t find out who saved Tim that night.''


    "Why should I be afraid of him? I know you won''t betray me. After all, I saved your life," Vivian said


    calmly.


    She sat back on Tim''sp and raised his chin with her fingers. "Besides, I''m your woman and your


    partner. You won''t gain anything by betraying me. If you can''t even protect your woman, it will


    damage your reputation."


    "Are you threatening me?" Looking straight into her eyes, Tim raised his hand and pinched her


    cheeks, forcing her to open her mouth. "I really shouldn''t have stopped John from pouring the ss


    shards into your mouth.


    I don''t want to be his enemy. I don''t want the princess of C Ind to be my enemy, either. If you lie


    to me again, I will make you pay. Remember that."


    Seeing the bloodthirsty smile on Tim''s face, Vivian''s body tensed. Her palms began to sweat.


    She failed to notice that Tim just mentioned Nina.


    She smiled seductively and was about to kiss Tim, but he pushed her head away.


    Irritated by the rejection, she stood up from hisp.


    "Tim, you are the one who allowed me to have sex with other men, but now you don''t want to touch


    me anymore. I think you''re just jealous now. Don''t fall in love with me. I only love John." Vivian


    flipped her hair and smiled charmingly.


    "He didn''t even recognize you. You really are a bitch." Tim sneered and lit a cigarette.


    Vivian''s expression changed. Sheughed heartily. "Oh Tim, you are in love with me, aren''t you?


    You''re jealous."


    Tim snorted. "You are too disgusting. I don''t want you. I had sex with you before, but now you make


    me sick."


    "I''m disgusting?" Instead of getting angry, Vivianughed. "Tim, look at yourself. You''re not much


    better than me, either. Stop having these unrealistic fantasies. You want a pure woman, but no pure


    woman wants to be with you.


    Bad guys can''t have nice girls."


    "Tomorrow, everyone will know that you''re not my woman anymore. Business is business. Since


    you saved my life, I won''t deal with you," Tim said to her, putting out his cigarette.


    If she wasn''t Tim''s woman, it would be harder for her to achieve her goals.


    Vivian was stunned. "What do you mean, Tim?"


    Tim stood up and put his hands on her shoulders. Leaning towards her neck, he whispered, "I loved


    your scent when we first met. It was a delicate milky fragrance."


    Vivian''s body trembled. That person was not her.


    "You should forget about it, though. Even if you bathe in milk every day, you won''t be able to seduce


    me like you used to."


    Pushing her aside, Tim left without looking back.


    Looking at him as he left, Vivian felt tears streaming down her cheeks.


    Tim was gone.


    She was left alone in the room, crying to herself.
