Chapter 168 A Secret Love Hidden In The Heart

Nancy chuckled at his question. It felt as though no one had asked her that for a very long time. “Do I love him? Of course, I do, and I’ve loved him for ten years.”

Despite their divorce, she thought about him, missed him, and loved him every day and night. Her love for him was deep and painful; how could she not love him?

The wind rustled her silky, long hair. Smiling, she gently flipped her hair and met Christian’s gaze as she answered his question seriously, “Of course, I love him.” Lowering her head, she added softly. “I’ve loved him for ten years. How could I not love him?”

Ten years? Suddenly, that number burned deeply into Christian’s heart. Has it really been ten years?

From the look in her eyes to every move she made, he had already known for a long time that she was in love with Nicholas. However, he never imagined that she had loved him for ten long years!

Ten years, he thought. How many ten years does a person have in their lives? Especially for a girl who is in the prime of her youth for only about ten years, but she gave all of it to a man named Nicholas. She only loves him.

At that moment, he stared at her and felt exceptionally calm, as well as heartbroken. Maybe in ten years-another ten years-the person she loved would still be that youth in her memories.

As for him, perhaps he would just be another speck of dust, washed away by time.

Right now, he was glad that he had always been her friend and happy that he had never revealed his true feelings. Otherwise, he reckoned that they couldn’t even be friends.

Furthermore, he didn’t imagine that he, Christian Zayn, the man who could literally terrorize his enemies on battlefields, would be so jittery one day.
