Deep Affection: Honey, Come Back To Me

Chapter 194 John Was Away

It was half past eight when John returned to North Yard.

Glancing around his surroundings, he frowned. Nina was nowhere to be found. He even searched the whole second floor, but he couldn't find her.

"Where's Nina?" John asked Amy and Lena.

Normally, Nina would either be sitting on the sofa while watching TV, reading books in the study or testing her makeup in the bedroom.

This had been her routine for the past month.

John didn't expect her to not be at home that night.

"Mrs. Shi received a call at ten past eight and went out," Amy said.

John glanced at the time. It was already half past eight.

She had only been gone for twenty minutes.

He assumed that Nina was with Kristina. She was the one who had the closest relationship with her and who could probably ask her out at that moment.

John shrugged. If she was with Kristina, it didn't matter.

"You may leave now." John waved his hand. Then, he reached out for his pocket and took something out. It was a small pink jewelry box.

Inside the box was the pearl bracelet he had ordered from last time. There were four words carved on it.

As long as Nina wore it, she would remember him and t

phone lay beside her and it had been silent the whole time.

With eyes already groggy, Nina picked up her phone and started typing. She asked John when he would be home and that she was already getting sleepy from waiting.

Unfortunately, a reply never came.

Nina couldn't hold back anymore. After a few minutes, she unconsciously fell asleep on the sofa.

It was already six in the morning when Nina's phone rang. It was a call from Tom.

Hearing the noise, the dog started barking.

"John. Don't make a fuss," Nina moaned. Since she fell asleep too late last night, she was still very sleepy.

She turned over and almost fell off the sofa.

The slight jolt made her awake and she immediately sat up.

Nina rubbed her sleepy eyes and tried to glance around the living room. Upon seeing that she was still alone, her expression faltered.

John didn't come back the whole night.

Nina glanced over to her phone.

It continuously kept on vibrating as she stared at it for a while.

Finally, she answered the call and was met by Tom's hoarse voice. He was calling from the police station.

"Ms. Lu, Kristina Ye is dead. She might have committed suicide."
