Chapter 174 Choose To Believe Her
A thick silence fell upon them as only the sounds of their breathing hung in the air.
Squinting at the bright lights, she lowered her gaze and pursed her lips wordlessly.
Meanwhile, John glued his eyes towards the night sky as he stood in front of the window. The yellow disc that was the moon hid behind the clouds.
The night was getting deeper.
In the dark, it was hard to tell whether or not the person standing next to him was loyal towards him or just waiting for an opportunity to deal with him.
In the dark, his senses were much more heightened. Suddenly, he was embraced from behind as a fragrance lingered under his nose.
Nina\'s soft voice rang into his ears as she wrapped her arms around his waist.
"I love you. It doesn\'t matter if I\'m good or bad—I will never do anything to harm you.
I didn\'t mean to hide my identity from you. I have my own reasons."
It wasn\'t that she didn\'t trust John. She just couldn\'t risk one more person knowing about her true identity. It would make things even more dangerous.

She was the type of person who could be talked into things as long as she wasn\'t forced into it. John, however, was different—neither force nor persuasion worked on him. But when it came to Nina, all bets were off. It didn\'t matter if he was forced or persuaded. Anything would work on him as long as it was Nina.
He couldn\'t stand to see her wronged. As he listened to her mumbling, he tenderly grazed her cheek and turned his body towards her. "I believe you," he whispered.
He then planted a soft kiss on her hair, the affection in his eyes palpable.
When she heard his words, she could feel his warmth towards her.
Nina rubbed her head against his arms, smiling in ease. She played with her fingers across his chest.
As he listened to her breathing, he couldn\'t help but slightly shake his head.
This little liar.
Meeting her was the best accident of his life.
She appeared in his life out of nowhere only for him to fall in love with her.
Even though he didn\'t know about her true identity, he still chose to believe her and stay with her.
