It was still early. There were few people in the park.
The air floated in a thin layer of mist, and in that mist loomed Leon. He walked steadily, like a man on a heaven-mandated mission.
When Leon saw his sister in John's arms, his face darkened. His cold eyes drifted to John, and when his eyes fell on Nina, the expression on his face softened.
"Come here, Nini."
It was impolite for Nina to cling onto John in front of her brother.
She moved her body and prepared to get off John.
However, John held her even tighter and said, "Don't move."
His voice was neither loud nor low, just enough for Leon to hear.
It was as if to declare that Nina was his.
The two men's eyes met, like two armies in a standoff.
Nina was afraid that they would fight right then and there.
A quiet and weird vibe hung over them like a cloud during their entire trip to the restaurant.
Their table was like a border separating two opposing powers, keeping them from ripping each other's throats.
Nina sat beside her brother and ate the breakfast that the waiter just brought.
From time to time, she would glance at John and Leon, the two m
rward slightly, put her elbow on the table, and rested her chin on her left palm. She tapped her fingers on her cheek to the beat of her heart. A mischievous smile slowly spread across her pretty face.
"And if you dare let another woman take shelter under you, I will cut you down." Nina smiled, but she did not seem to be joking.
John felt relieved. He leaned back, his eyes soft, and his voice took on a unique laziness. "I'll even hand you the ax myself."
"Then we're on the same page." Nina smiled wider and winked at her husband once again.
For others, it was just a gentle, innocent smile, but John found it quite charming.
He saw the same smile every morning when he woke up with his little girl in his arms. That smile could really kill him.
"Ahem..." Leon cleared his throat loudly, his eyes darting back and forth between the two.
He was still here. Could they be more impolite?
Leon thought that he was not that important to his sister now, so he threw some cold water on her.
"Nini, you got the marriage licenses with John listed as a resident of Spring City, but don't forget that you're the princess of C Island."
