MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 72

After thinking for a while, Nina shook these thoughts away and proceeded to go back to her room.

Meanwhile, Rebecca was taking care of Van and Don, and when Nina came in the room, she greeted Nina with respect, “Your Highness.”

“Were Van and Don behaved in the past two days? Did they cry a lot?” Nina asked. She walked towards the crib and kissed Van’s and Don’s little hands.

Seeing their mommy, both of the children chuckled with glee.

Rebecca stood aside and said, “Count Nangong spent time with them, and they didn’t make much noise when they were with him. Sometimes, they would cry, but they’d be fine after Count Nangong coaxed them for a while.” “Oh, you guys are very good, huh? Come here, and hug Mommy,” Nina said. Nina stretched her arms out to hold Van, making Don babble for attention.

“Oh, Don, be a good boy. Mommy will hold you, too,” she said. After hugging Van, she turned to hold Don.

When the baby was in his mother’s arms, he placed his soft little hand on Nina’s face and babbled even more.

“Don, you must be a naughty boy when you grow up,” Nina said softly. She patted Don on the rear and looked down at Van, who was quietly lying in the crib as he looked at her with his big eyes.

“Fortunately, Van is quiet and behaved. If both of them make trouble, I am afraid that they would turn the whole house upside down when they grow up,” Nina teased with a huge smile on her face.

Rebecca smiled as well and said, “It’s good that one of them is quiet, while the other is lively. Most of the time, it’s

Rebecca smiled as well and said, “It’s good that one of them is quiet, while the other is lively. Most of the time, it’s the elder one who can control his younger sibling. Normally, Don will cry if his elder brother does. When Van stops crying, Don will stop too.”

Nina smiled at this and nodded at Don’s face. She gently poked his cheeks. “You, dear one, will be your elder brother’s flatterer in the future?” As if he understood, Don babbled to protest.

After she spent time with the children for a while, the children felt tired and sleep finally arrived at them.

She gently tucked her children in before closing the lights and leaving the night light on. Then, she washed herself and finally lay on the bed, feeling the exhaustion take over her. Before she closed her lamp off, she video-called John. “Hello, my little girl. It’s still early,” John complained. He was drying his hair with a towel and used his other free hand to hold the phone in front of him.

He thought that she wouldn’t contact him this evening, so he took his clothes off and went to take a shower. Moments later, a video call came. Seeing that it was Nina, he stopped and answered the call.

“Shh…” Nina said with her index finger on her lips. With a smile, she turned the head of the camera and focused it towards the sleeping children before whispering, “Van and Don are now sound asleep, right next to my bed, so we should talk in a low voice?”

“Is this low enough? Can you still hear me?” John asked in a low voice.

Nina rolled her eyes. “I can’t even hear you.” With this, John smiled and stopped teasing her. He asked, “Did the children cry during the two days you were away?”

Nina sighed. “Yes, they cried. It seems that I can’t go to see you in the future. You have to come here to see me and the children,” she said sadly.

“Oh, okay. Well, can you return the camera back to you?” John asked. “That’s why you will wait for me in the future, okay? I really was about to go here, but you beat me to it.”

Nina nodded and assured him that she would, instead of her going to him. “By the way, come here for dinner tomorrow. My mom knows you’re here,” she said.

“Well then, I will go there as soon as I get up early tomorrow morning,” John said with a smile.

“I said, dinner. You don’t have to be in such a hurry, you know.”

“Why not?”

“Why? What’s the rush? Do you not have the money to buy yourself breakfast and lunch?” Nina joked with a laugh.

John replied in a low voice, “No, I have the money, but I need someone to have a meal with me.”

Upon hearing that, Nina smiled shyly.

“Many people want to have a meal with you if you ask,” Nina teased.

John’s eyebrows furrowed into a slight frown. Before he could say anything, Nina interrupted him. “Look, silence means acquiescence.” Then, she raised her chin and looked at him through her nose, making John burst into laughter. He played along with her and said, “Oh, yes, there are two more.”

‘Huh? Does he mean Van and Don?’

Nina thought.

“Then again, they are too young to have a meal with me for now,” John said.

Nina glanced at him and turned towards the children who were asleep before gently snorting at John, making him laugh.

“Achoo!” She sneezed after snorting.

Her sneeze made John stop laughing. Worried, he asked in a low voice, “Did you catch a cold? Go take your medicine now, and take good care of yourself. Achoo!”

This time, he sneezed, too. Both of them exchanged stunned looks.

Feeling the warmth on his cheeks, John scratched the back of his head, feeling embarrassed.

He sneezed right after scolding her about taking good care of herself. Nina didn’t know what to say.

‘Was sneezing contagious? Did he get infected even through the screen?’ she wondered.

The two of them just looked at each other for a while, and then they both seemed to have sensed some important information.

“My little girl, did you just reprimand me in your head?”

“John, did you just curse me in your head?” They spoke at the same time. Then, both of their eyes went wide open, and they started to laugh. The children were already sleeping, so they didn’t dare laugh that loud.

Meanwhile, back in the Castle,

Cali turned her bedside lamp on, only lighting up a part of the bed.

She couldn’t sleep, and so she decided to call Lynda. “I honestly don’t know what to do now. There are now two voices in my head, fighting about what to do. I don’t know what to choose.” Cali sat on her bed with her back on the headboard. She pulled her knees towards her and hugged them with her other hand as she talked with Lynda on the phone.

In a trembling voice, Lynda asked, “Is it really true?”

“Lynda, please, help me. I really don’t know what to do. I can’t stop thinking about it as well. I can’t even eat or sleep properly anymore.”

“Wait. Sorry, wait a second,” Lynda said.

“Are you with someone right now?” Cali asked.

“No! No one is beside me. I’m in the apartment alone,” Lynda stammered.

“Okay, that’s good. You must not let anyone know about this. I am just really upset, and that I don’t know what to do anymore, so I called you to ask for advice. I am really conflicted, Lynda,” Cali said.

Lynda answered perfunctorily, “Okay, sure, Cali, but I want to ask you again. Is it true that Princess Nina and Sean kissed at the airport?” Cali sighed and replied irritably, “Yes. Like I said, I went to pick up Princess Nina and happened to witness it. I thought I was just hallucinating, and that it was just someone who looked a lot like her. However, when I saw Princess Nina by the parking lot, waiting for me, she was wearing the same clothes. Ugh! I feel so down, and I don’t think I can keep thinking about this any longer, or else, I will go bonkers.

What do you think I should do, Lynda? Should I confront Princess Nina? Should I tell Count Nangong? Ugh! But Princess Nina is really so kind to me!” Cali stretched her legs and started to kick on her bed.

Lynda sighed and said indignantly, “But, it’s still wrong that Princess Nina cheated on her husband. If I were you, I would tell Count Nangong.”

“Well, that’s the problem. I am not you.” Cali raised her head and heaved a deep sigh. “Hmm, how about I just pretend that I know nothing? Ugh! I can’t! I already know it, so how can I pretend not to know?”

“To be honest, I don’t know either. I mean, I still can’t believe Princess Nina has an affair,” Lynda said.

Cali gave out a helpless sigh once more. “I saw it with my own eyes, but I, too, can’t believe it as well! How about I talk with Princess Nina and let her talk to Count Nangong about it? If possible, they can have a peaceful divorce.”

“Cali, no! Don’t do that. Aren’t you afraid that Princess Nina will hurt you, or even threaten you not to say anything?” Lynda said, stopping Cali from acting impulsively.

“That’s impossible! Princess Nina is not that kind of person. I believe that she won’t do anything to hurt me,” Cali replied.

Lynda sighed. “Well, if you say. I don’t think I can help you. I have something to do now.”

Cali’s brows furrowed into a frown. “Why are you busy this late at night?”

“Nothing, it’s just about work. Don’t worry about it. I really can’t help you with this. This is entirely up to you,” Lynda replied.

“I just can’t make a decision…”

Before Cali could finish, Lynda interrupted her, “Well, it’s not a big deal. I have to go now.” “Lynda, wait!”

Lynda ended the call.

After hanging up the phone in a hurry, Lynda took a few deep breaths. She held her phone tightly as if someone could take it away from her anytime soon, making her palms sweat.

As soon as she calmed down, she lit up her phone screen again, and it was still recording.
