John had definitely mentioned this to Adrian.
During that time, John and Nina's relationship as a married couple hadn't been revealed yet.
Adrian didn't know the relationship between them. He would occasionally mention Noah in front of John. Every time that happened, John would shoot him a cold glare.
It didn't take long for Adrian to discover that John wasn't very fond of Noah.
"Do you have a grudge against Noah? You don't seem to like him," Adrian said.
"Really?" John's expression was stoic.
Adrian nodded. "It's quite obvious. You have a lot of complaints about him when you don't even know each other. Did he offend you?"
John maintained his calm demeanor. There was no way he would be admitting that he was jealous.
He knew that Nina and Noah were quite close, but he would never admit to anyone that it made him angry.
"No," John answered.
A faint smirk appeared on Adrian's lips. Only a fool would fall for John's answer.
Adrian was bored and tried to bombard John with more questions. In the end, John answered with three words, "Crew cut."
The corners of Adrian's mouth twitched.
John stayed silent for a few seconds before adding, "I hate people with crew cut."
This had seemed to finally convince Adrian.
Adrian actually believed in John.
When he saw John's new haircut, he wa
ood on him."
The moment John heard this, the cold expression on his face gradually softened.
She always said yes and meant no.
Earlier, she merely said that it was not bad.
John stared at Nina. Seeing an adult like her holding a child with a dog next to her made him imagine what it would be like with his child in the future.
He couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle at the thought.
The more Nina spent more time with Chester, the more likely she might want to have a child of her own.
John casually tagged along with them from behind.
He glanced at his watch and noticed that it was still early for his meeting. After shaving his hair in the office, he had headed to L University to pick Nina up.
He still had a lot of work to do, so he turned around and headed for the study.
Nina went to the man-made forest with Chester. John had a building torn down to make space for it. He also had a man-made lake placed inside the forest as well.
The quiet road leading towards the lake was surrounded by wild flowers.
There was also a swing by the lake. Some vines had crawled up on its bars and intertwined with each other. The flowers surrounding it had also started to bloom.
However, one thing was lacking and it was the elk.
In John's eyes, Nina was the elk in North Yard that he was raising.
