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.

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.
