Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 217 You Dummy, You’re The Man I’ve Loved For Ten Years!

It doesn’t hurt anymore. I’m perfectly fine now. I’m not in pain at all. Upon seeing Nancy’s frown. Nicholas confidently stated, “I swear I don’t feel any pain. If you don’t believe me, I can move around to show you.”

He attempted to move his arm, but Nancy quickly grabbed hold of him and stopped him. “Alright, I believe you.”

He gently cupped her face and kissed her on the lips. “Do you feel reassured now?”

“Mhm.”

“But…” Nancy continued to delicately trace the scars on his back with her fingers. “You need to take care of yourself from now on. Never get injured again. Do you know how much it hurts me when you’re injured?”

Nicholas suddenly thought of someone and without thinking, he asked, “Hurts you more than that person did?”

Nancy was momentarily confused. “Who are you talking about?”

“That person…” he said somewhat awkwardly. “The person you secretly loved and had a crush on for ten years.”

Nancy was briefly stunned and immediately understood who he was referring to. As she bit her lip, a bright smile crept onto her face.

Dummy. Nick is a big dummy. How can he not realize that ‘that person’ is him all along? But I guess I can’t entirely blame him. It’s my fault. I tried to tell him the first time at the field, but he didn’t listen. I tried the second time in the bathroom, leaning on the bathtub, but he left without even hearing me. The third time’s supposed to be the charm, but I’d only said I liked him.>

Indeed, she had never explicitly told him that he was the one she had loved for ten years, so it made sense that he was unaware and had misunderstood all along.

Since he was clueless, she would use that to make him anxious. After all, he had made her sad and upset many times too.

For once, she would have a little fun watching him go crazy.

Seeing Nancy’s smiling face, Nicholas felt increasingly uneasy. As a man, he should not be too concerned, especially since he was the one she loved now and the one she was with. He should be content. Furthermore, he was not even in her life back when she had a crush on someone else, so how could he blame her?
