Chapter 218 Nancy, I Will Love You Twice As Much

“Nancy,” Nicholas called out to her, his excitement palpable. “So, is it me? Are you saying that the person you’ve loved all along is me?”

Until now, he had thought it was all a dream. If he hadn’t heard it directly from her, he would have found it hard to believe.

“No,” she deliberately denied.

Of course, he wasn’t accepting a ‘no’ for an answer. He cupped her cheeks, looking as thrilled as an awkward child. “No, Nancy, you can’t lie to me. I heard it; I heard it loud and clear.”

As the words left his lips, he kissed Nancy over and over. He was simply overjoyed. This was, by far, the happiest moment he had experienced in a long time.

Bowing his head, he seized her lips and kissed her passionately. All his excitement, happiness, elation, and emotion were encapsulated in that kiss. If he could, he wished he could melt her with his kiss.

“Thank me for what?” She raised her head, her whole being still rosy like the morning sun because of their earlier passion.

“I’m already on cloud nine that you like me, but I never expected to be even happier than that. Nancy, thank you for giving me this unique surprise.”

“It’s your fault for being so slow to realize it.”

This time, Nicholas didn’t deny it at all. “Yes, I was an idiot for taking so long to realize your feelings. and I’m sorry-
