“Nicholas, do you know? I can’t stand you. I hate you so much. You’re like a block of wood, a fool.” As Nancy spoke, she gently poked Nicholas’ chest. Despite being clearly. intoxicated, her beauty remained undiminished. The steam from the bathroom enhanced her allure, with flushed cheeks and cherry-red lips making her even more enchanting.

However, he stood still, allowing her playful pokes to continue without flinching.

Nancy poked him a few times before pausing, then poked him again as if a thought crossed her mind. With a tipsy grin, she asked, “You seem to have changed into an entirely different person. Why didn’t you dodge?”

“Why should I dodge?” Nicholas responded.

She blinked her drowsy, mischievous eyes, and as if inspired, she smiled coyly. Suddenly, she scooped up water from the bathtub and splashed it onto the man.

Nicholas was caught off guard, and by the time he realized what was happening, Nancy had already doused him with water several times. With his hair soaked and water droplets cascading down, she couldn’t help but giggle. “Not dodging will make you end up wet!”

Nancy nodded, still smiling drowsily. “It was fun.” As she spoke, she suddenly got up from the bathtub and poked Nicholas’ chest again, accusing him disgruntledly, “Did you know?

When we got married, it felt like no one was happy for me besides Grandpa, especially your friends. They thought I married you to climb up the social ladder and that I was after wealth and status.

“What do you think?” he asked with a raised brow.

But in reality, I didn’t even have a knight. They were right; we are from two different. worlds. Our worlds finally separated after so much difficulty, and our connection was cut off. But why didn’t you stay away? Why must you return to disturb my life? Why did you come back and stir up my emotions?” The more she spoke, the sadder and more painful she felt. Tears started streaming down her face, and she wanted to wipe them away but found herself wearing a short-sleeved shirt. Therefore, she didn’t have a sleeve to wipe her
