Chapter 104 Kiss Me, and I’ll Tell You

Nicholas led Nancy to the door and paused, turning around to face her. He said, “Close your eyes and give me your hand.”

Curious, she inquired, “What’s with all the secrecy?” She then extended her hand, placing it gently. in his palm. Her hand, small and fair, contrasted markedly against his larger, rougher one, emphasizing her delicate nature.

He firmly grasped her hand, his big palm almost entirely enveloping her smaller one. He asked, “Are you ready?”

Surprisingly, she felt a hint of nervousness mingled with a tinge of anticipation. “Yes, I’m ready,” she affirmed with a nod.

“Now, close your eyes.”

“Okay,” she agreed, gently shutting her eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered like miniature fans, endearing and charming.

With one hand still clutching Nancy’s, Nicholas used his free hand to open the door. As he observed the perfectly executed surprise inside, he nodded in satisfaction. He then turned to her and whispered tenderly, “You can open your eyes now.”

Eagerly, she exclaimed, “Okay! I’m opening them now!”

Perhaps driven by a hint of fear that her dream might vanish, she opened her eyes only slightly. However, upon beholding the grand, dreamlike, and profoundly romantic display before her, she instantly widened her eyes.

Her eyes sparkled with astonishment, struggling to accept the surreal reality laid out before her. It was a scene she had only associated with dreams. She even questioned whether she was awake or still immersed in a dream. The sheer beauty of the sight overwhelmed her, making it seem surreal. She kept her eyes wide open, almost afraid the enchanting spectacle might vanish if she blinked.

The room was filled with an incredible array of dolls spanning all shapes, sizes, and styles. Some were larger than Nancy, exquisitely crafted and lifelike in every detail. Even the doll’s eyelashes. were meticulously designed to appear authentic. Collections of more miniature dolls lined the room, including her cherished favorites, and not just those famous during her childhood. There were also vintage dolls that she had recently adored and limited-edition dolls from popular animations. They were now here before her, bringing her dreamy world to life. The room was a visual feast, every bit as magical as in her dreams.
