Chapter 110 Nancy’s Birthday

After showering. Nancy came out of the bathroom.

She didn’t expect Nicholas to be there still. Nevertheless, despite sharing a room, it felt like they nolonger had anything to say to each other.

Nancy had washed her hair, and it was still wet.

As she dried her hair with a towel, she walked around Nicholas.

Til help you.” Nicholas came over..

“No need. I can do it myself.”

Once Nancy was done blow-drying her hair, she got into bed.

He had already left.

As she watched him leave, she abruptly teared up at the sight.

She said she wasn’t going to cry, but her tears weren’t cooperating. Whenever something struck atnerve, they would stream down her face without permission. She couldn’t stop it from happening.

She should’ve known. Why would a man as proud as him put up with my indifference and aloofness?

He was always the center of attention. Everyone flattered him and tried to please him. When did heever have to please someone else?

It’s good that he left. I won’t have to see him.

If I don’t see him, maybe it won’t hurt.

If I can’t see him, maybe it won’t be as painful.

It’s late. Where would he go?

Well, it didn’t take long to land on an answer. It was obvious.

No matter how many years have passed, Madelline’s still the one in his heart.

In the past, she always thought she feared nothing. She wasn’t afraid of making sacrifices, suffering, orwaiting.

Reality proved her wrong. She was more cowardly than anyone else.

Nancy turned off the lights and lay in bed.

Alas, she didn’t fall asleep. Her eyes were wide open and fixed on the chandelier hanging from theceiling.

An indeterminate amount of time passed when, suddenly, someone opened the door.

She heard the sound of footsteps.

Nicholas came in..

He didn’t leave? Didn’t he leave to accompany Madelline?

Soon, the closet was opened. After taking a set of pajamas, Nicholas went to the bathroom. Nancyheard the sound of water running.

At this moment, she found it hard to decipher Nicholas’ thoughts.

It was only when a fresh scent wafted over and a pair of arms wrapped around her slender waist thatshe realized he had gotten in bed and was holding her.

“I’m not used to this,” Nancy said as she pushed him away.

“You’ll get used to it eventually,” he replied.

Nancy was angered. She turned around and glared at him.

All of a sudden, she lowered her head and bit his shoulder.

She clamped down her jaw hard. Nicholas soon felt the stinging pain.

Though he groaned in pain, his arms remained tight around her waist. He showed no sign of releasingher.

Nancy let go of his shoulder and glared at him once more. “Let go of me, Nicholas,” she hissed.

“No.” This time, he flat-out refused her.

He didn’t even give her any room to debate the matter.

Nancy bent down and bit him in the same spot. This time, she used a lot more strength.

She was in so much pain that her heart was about to break. How could he still act like nothing hadhappened?

You’re a b*stard, Nicholas. What gives you the right to cause me so much sorrow?

Once again, she bit down forcefully, and Nicholas started bleeding. The blood soaked through hispajama top and reached Nancy’s mouth.

She tasted blood.

She looked up to replace that Nochelas

Trimering. He lookeet

Why didn’t you move away she questioned.

“Have you vented all your anger yet?” Nicholas asked in lieu of answering

At the same time, he reached out to stroke. Nancy’s hair, but she dodged him.

She wasn’t his pet. She wasn’t someone he could pet and stroke when he was in the right mood andcast aside when he didn’t feel like dealing with her

“Are you still angry” Nicholas asked again

Naricy turned around and ignored him.

Since he wanted to hold her, and since she couldn’t get away from hom, the stopped fighting it

When Nicholas woke up the room was bright

Most importantly, the other side of the bed was empty Nancy wasn’t beside him

He unmediately gave her a call, but her phone was turned off

Nancy had left bright and early this morning, and when she did, she turned her phone off

She didn’t want anyone to disturb her today. She wanted to spend some me alone

While walking past a bakery, she heard a salesperson talking about a prostion. A careless glance later,she realized it was her birthday today

Ok, right, 20’s my birthday. I forgot about my own birthday

In the past. Nancy’s birthday was the day of the year she looked forward to the most

Although her family was poor and often in debt, her mother would always buy her a small cake for herbirthday

She loved eating prawna then, so her mother would prepare an entire plate of prawns for her-all peeledand ready to eat.

Despite having tried prawns cooked in various styles by now. Nancy still thought that the he w flavor inthe world was the dipping sauce her mother made. Unfortunately, she would never be able to have itagain

At night, all the lights would be turned off.

Het mother would light up the candles on the cake and give her a small tiara. Then, was her

chance to blow out the candles.

Up until her 14th birthday, her wish was the same. She wanted to do well in her studies so that shecould give her mother a good life and get away from her father, the gambling addict.

After that, from the year she met Nicholas, she added one more wish. She hoped to meet him. againsomeday and to have the chance to remain beside the boy who shone so brightly.

Back then, she had been so timid and careful around him. She never thought she would one day marryhim and be his wife.

That was something the teenage Nancy wouldn’t even dare to dream of. To meet him again wasalready a great blessing.

Sometimes, Nancy wondered if everything would’ve been different if she never met him again andnever reentered his life.

He would simply be someone she admired from afar-a distant figure that lit up her heart.

If that were the case, she would never expect anything. She would not have to experience theheartache and disappointment she felt now.

The bakery was having a promotion. There were a lot of people heading in.

Nancy went in as well.

“Hello, miss. What kind of cake would you like?”

“One with a lot of cream.”

She couldn’t eat chiffon cakes as she was allergic to them. In the end, the salesperson recommendeda strawberry-flavored crepe cake. Every layer of crepe was covered with a thick layer of cream.

Nancy walked out of the bakery with the cake in hand, but she froze in shock when she saw the back ofthe silhouette in front of her.

What’s he doing here?

Her body stiffened as she squeezed the handle of the cake box tightly.

Just then, Nicholas turned around. His voice was as gentle as ever as he asked, “Why did you leavethe house alone without telling me?”
