Only you in my love novel Chapter 125

John held the edge of the marriage licenses tightly.

In the past thirty years, there was only one ugly photo of him, and it was attached to his marriage licenses.

What irritated him most was that he looked ugly in the photo while Nina looked beautiful.

He was so angry that he felt his entire body tremble.

"Sir, which photo did you have used? I think your son is upset," Jake whispered to Sam.

"I have only one photo of him," Sam answered loudly, turning around and taking a photo out of a book.

The photo was exactly the same as the one attached to the marriage licenses but larger in size.

When Jake saw it, he instantly understood why John was so angry and speechless.

"Sir, you have another photo of John," Jake commented. 'Why did you choose the ugliest one?' he then thought to himself.

Everyone knew that John cared about his appearance very much. Was Sam playing tricks on his own son?

"Really?" Sam did not remember taking another photo of John.

"Yes. It's in the pocket of one of your jackets. I think it's been there for ten years. You showed it to Nina last time, but she didn't take it. Then, you stuck it back in your jacket pocket." Jake spoke almost inaudibly and glanced at John from time to time. He was afraid that John would redirect his silent fury at him if he heard him.

Hearing Jake's explanation, Sam remembered the photo he was talking about. Before he could reply, Jake already went to retrieve the photo and then handed it to him. It was a one-by-one faded identification photo of John. In it, he was wearing his school uniform and looking all young, wild, and energetic.

John was in high school when the photo was taken.

John glanced at Sam's hands. In his left hand was his ugly photo. In his right hand was John's high school ID photo, the one where he looked good.

And Sam had chosen the photo on his left hand!

John was so angry that he could not find the words to express his fury. His face was cold and emotionless. On a regular day, he would take revenge.

However, when he saw Sam's wrinkled hands trembling slightly, a hint of worry flashed through his eyes.

The photo in Sam's right hand was already faded and yellow, but the face in it was still clear. It was still well preserved. There was a high school steel seal on the photo, which meant it was torn from John's old high school student card.

John averted his gaze from Sam.

"Sir, this could've been perfect for John's wedding photo. Why did you take that one?" Jake asked carefully.

"This was the only photo I remembered at that time. Besides, this photo may be good, but he's wearing his school uniform in it. It can't be put on a marriage certificate." Sam thought there was nothing wrong with the photo he had chosen.

Jake slightly dipped his chin and said in a low voice, "Sir, we could've changed his clothes via some software."

"What? Why didn't you tell me that before?"

"I thought you used this photo."

"Can we change it now?" Sam asked.

Jake shook his head and answered, "No, we can't."

When John heard that the photo could not be changed, he looked even more displeased. Both Sam and Jake were old people. Their hearing was not so good anymore, and they usually spoke loudly around each other.

Jake thought that he was speaking to Sam in a very low voice and that John was not able to hear them clearly. On the contrary, John could hear every word they said.

So that was the story of John and Nina's fake wedding photo.

Closing his eyes slightly, John took a deep breath and sighed audibly. His jaw was tense, and he was still extremely furious. However, Sam was his father. The old man deserved his respect.

He decided he just would not show Nina the marriage licenses.

He could not hang that hideous fake wedding photo on the wall of their bedroom.

Damn it!

John slowly reopened his eyes. He took the ugly photo from Sam's hand and tore it to pieces.

The whole study fell in dead silence. Only the sound was the sound of ripping photo paper. John tore the photo quickly, but the sound of it hung in the air for a few more seconds afterward.

John could not tear up the marriage licenses even if he hated the photo.

That photo was nothing but an insult.

Nina should never ever get to see it.

"They're just marriage licenses," Sam murmured. Sam still thought that there was nothing wrong with the photo he had chosen, although the man in the photo was indeed less handsome than John himself.

However, there were a lot of people who were less handsome than the man in the photo.

Sam had always been confident about John's appearance. After all, John was his and his wife's child. Of course he had inherited their excellent genes.

"Just marriage licenses?" John asked coldly through gritted teeth.

Nina once said that she would only call someone honey if that person was her legal husband who she loved dearly.

Nina would only recognize the marriage licenses.

John had been coaxing Nina into calling him honey, but he failed over and over again. The marriage licenses were his last hope.

But then again, over his dead body would he only show the damn photo to Nina.

Facing his son's now murderous eyes, Sam raised his head and said in a hard voice, "Why are you looking at me like that, you ungrateful bastard? What is your problem? You won't show your marriage licenses to others every day."

"How do you know I won't do that?" John asked in a flat but tough voice.

He really wanted to take the marriage licenses with him.

Whenever Nina did not call him honey, he would show her the marriage licenses.

Whenever a man dared to approach Nina, he would slap the marriage licenses in his face.

No man would ever be able to get close to his wife.

Sam was rendered speechless. He was stunned.

He had once met a man who walked around with his marriage licenses in his pocket, as if he was the only one in the world who had a wife.

On second thought, did this mean that John was that determined to win Nina over?

Well, that was good news!

With a bright smile on his face, Sam asked John, "How are you getting along with Nina?"

John gave Sam a disdainful look. It was impossible for him to answer such a question.

With the two marriage licenses in his hand, he turned around and left.

As soon as he was out, he called Brian. "Brian, arrange a check-up for my father right away."

He was worried about his father's health.

Sam had kept John's photo with him for more than ten years. He should have remembered it. However, he did not remember the photo until Jake reminded him. John was afraid that Sam might be starting to lose some of his mental faculties.

John also saw that Sam's hands were trembling earlier while he was holding the photo. He was old but not old enough to lose control of his body. John thought he should see a doctor immediately.

When John was about to head back to North Yard, Dora appeared out of nowhere and dragged him to their house.
