Chapter 142 You Idiot, You’re The Ten-year Crush!

Nancy swiftly wiped away the tears from her face. “No, I was just reminiscing about some things from the past, and it suddenly made me a bit emotional. It’s nothing. I’m fine now,” she said, forcing a smile

to conceal her true emotions.

“Really? You’re not lying to me, are you? What made you so sad? Can you tell me?” Nicholas was naturally somewhat skeptical.

“Just some old stories that don’t need to be mentioned. By the way, didn’t we say we were going to have dinner? I only had a light lunch; I’m really hungry now.”

“Alright, then. Where do you want to eat?” Nicholas asked.

“Yeah?” Nancy smiled but didn’t explain.

Nancy looked up happily. The sun’s rays fell on her petite face, making her look even more gentle and beautiful.

“It’s so beautiful!”

A gentle breeze blew.

Everything was so perfect, but her heart felt as heavy as lead.

In the end, since everything began here, it had to end here as well.

“Nicholas, have you been back here since you graduated?” Nancy asked.
