Chapter 177 Nancy, I Love You Too (1)

Upon hearing this, Nicholas stood frozen like a statue. What did I just hear? Did she really say she loves me? So, I’m the person she loves? But how is that possible? If I hadn’t heard it myself. I wouldn’t have dared to believe it, “Nancy…” He lowered his head, calling her name tenderly and emotionally. At this moment, his heart felt like it was going to burst out of his chest; he was filled with an indescribable excitement. “Did I hear it wrong? Do you truly love me?” he asked patiently while gently wiping away the tears rolling down her face.

Nancy looked up, her eyes brimming with tears as she gazed quietly at him. Before she could speak, tears streamed down her cheeks again.

“Don’t cry, Nancy. Please don’t cry,” said Nicholas, feeling a pang of heartache when he saw her burst into tears. He cupped her face and pulled her closer to him. Then, he lowered his head, his lips touching her cheek as he softly kissed away the tears that rolled down her face. One by one, he tenderly kissed away her tears in an incredibly gentle manner.

However, the more he acted this way, the harder Nancy cried. She even thought she was dreaming because only in her dreams would he be so gentle with her. Throughout the day, he had been so cold. towards her, treating her like a total stranger. How could he suddenly be so kind to her? “Nicholas…” She wept softly, holding his hand. “Am I dreaming?”

“How could this be a dream? I’m right here with you, you silly girl.”

“But…” Nancy curled herself into a ball with her arms around herself. She said pitifully, “You treated me like a stranger; you didn’t even care when I drank, and you merely watched as others bullied me. Nicholas, you just bullied me during the day. Why would you be so kind to me all of a sudden?” Recalling those scenes, she couldn’t forget them. The look in his eyes and his tone of voice were so cold. back in the private room. It was as if a sword had been stabbed right into her heart.

I’m sorry, Nancy. It was my fault. I was really wrong. Nicholas apologized while cupping her face in his hands. At this moment, he was overwhelmed with regret. Jayden is right; I’m stupid. There were so many ways to handle this, and yet I chose the dumbest and most roundabout way, which ended up hurting both her and myself. “If you’re upset, just hit me or punish me, okay? Anything is fine as long as you don’t ignore me, he coaxed tenderly.

Nancy looked at him. Suddenly, she reached out, her slender and delicate fingers touching his face. Her fingertips traced his eyebrows and his nose before finally resting on his thin lips. “But how could I bear to ignore you?” she whispered. How could I bear to ignore you when all I want is to love you? Her fingers. lightly caressed his lips, which felt so tender to the touch. He was right here with her, but even so, she felt an empty void inside her.

Staring at his red lips at that moment, she suddenly stopped thinking about everything. It was as if her mind had gone blank or as if she was intentionally avoiding any thoughts. Following her body’s instincts, she leaned in, and her tender lips met his

Nicholas had always been the one to initiate such moments in the past. This time, however, she was unusually eager, as if trying to prove something. She kissed him passionately, almost completely letting go of her shame and hesitation, summoning all her courage and risking everything. She just wanted to follow her heart, to indulge herself, and to express her true feelings for once

However after just a moment, she sensed that something was wrong Nicholas body remained suit. he

froze like a statue, breathing but not moving a muscle.

In an instant, she froze as well, and her heart sank into a freezing abyss. It felt like a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured down mercilessly from the sky and drenched her, chilling her body and heart.

He really doesn’t love me. So, it’s pointless even when I put aside all my pride and stubbornness and kiss him like this. Indeed, if he doesn’t love me, he doesn’t love me. You can’t force love.

She moved away from his lips and returned to her spot, curling her lips into a bitter smile. At this moment, she could only wear a smile to conceal the pain inside her. She wanted to leave; the room was filled with steam and mist, making her feel particularly confined, and the atmosphere was oppressively uncomfortable.

However, before she could turn around, the man reached out and grabbed her. His hands cupping her face, he asked softly, “Nancy, can you say it again?”

“Say what?”

“You just said you love me very much. Is that true?” asked Nicholas gingerly, as if afraid of startling her.

I’m sorry.” She lowered her gaze. I shouldn’t have said it; I’ve been hiding it well for so long. If I hadn’t been so drunk and in so much pain just now, I wouldn’t have said it. I do love him, but since he doesn’t love me at all, I don’t want my love to be so cheap either. “I didn’t say that. You heard it wrong,” she said, shaking her head.

Nicholas refused to believe it, though. He insisted, “That’s okay. Even if it was a slip of the tongue, it still means you love me!”

These words, however, caused Nancy to break down at once. I’m already trying to salvage the situation. Why does he have to force me into admitting it? I don’t want to say that, nor do I want to love him anymore! I’m hurt, and I can’t love anymore. Can’t I just give up? I’m already upset enough, so why upset me even more? In the end, her heart could only endure so much. No longer holding back, she yelled with all her might, “Fine, I admit it! I didn’t say it wrong! I love you, and I mean it! But, Nicholas…” She suddenly quieted down, her eyes expressionless. She continued in almost a whisper, “Love is a

personal matter in the first place. I do love you, but I never wanted to bother you or cling to you. This is my own business, not anyone

else’s

She had attempted to communicate this to him, but after several unsuccessful tries, she had completely given up. Instead of facing a humiliating rejection, she would rather keep her feelings for him hidden in her heart. At the very least, she could still hold onto a beautiful memory that wasn’t so

agmented and distressing

Suddenly, Nicholas leaned in closer, gently cradling her face in his hands. He asked tenderly, “My dear. are you prepared now
