Chapter 178 Nancy, I Love You Too (2)

Nancy shook her head, resisting Nicholas. “Don’t tell me. Nicholas. I don’t want to hear it.”

Nicholas cupped her face in his hands, lowering his head until his nose touched hers, and let out a softchuckle. Silly girl, I knew you must have misunderstood me. “Nancy…” he began, gazing at her. In thatmoment, his eyes shone brightly, as if countless stars were twinkling within them. Then, his thin lipsparted, and he spoke with the gentlest words, “Listen to me: I’ve never considered your feelings for meto be a nuisance. On the contrary, I’m very, very happy about it.”

“Why?” Nancy asked stupidly. She felt her brain capacity was insufficient to think clearly.

“Silly girl, it’s because I love you, too!”

When those words exploded in her head, Nancy’s first thought was that she must be dreaming. Howelse could she hear such words? He loves me? Does he really love me?

After ten years, this was almost something she didn’t dare to dream about. When she married him, heronly hope was to spend the rest of their lives together; just being with him brought her immense joy andsatisfaction. Later, witnessing his unique affection and care for Madelline, she didn’t even dare to hope.But now, he was telling her that he loved her!

She was stunned and could hardly think. It took her a while to replace her voice again. “But aren’t you inlove with-

Nicholas interrupted her before she could finish. “Nancy, that was in the past. I know I didn’t treat youwell back then; I always broke your heart and made you upset, but it’s different now. I know that I loveyou. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made so many mistakes, let alone hurt you,” he said, bringing her handto his lips and kissing it repeatedly. “It’s all my fault. Do you know how upset I was when you asked for

a divorce? I didn’t want to be apart from you at all, but you were so determined. I even consideredresorting to dirty means to keep you with me for as long as possible, but Nancy, whether it was then ornow, I don’t want to force you. I know you’re angry with me for the mistakes I’ve made. You can dowhatever you want to me. Just don’t ignore me.”

Nancy’s eyes widened in disbelief; if she hadn’t heard it herself, she wouldn’t have dared to believe herown ears. This was the scenario she had dreamt of so many times, but now that it was actuallyhappening, she suddenly forgot how to react. It took a while before she regained her composure. Thenext moment, she looked up, and her eyes instantly filled with tears. Soon, tears cascaded down hercheeks uncontrollably.

It had been ten years; she had loved him for ten years, during which time she had married him andseparated from him. Just when she thought everything was a one-woman show, he told her that heloved her, too. The moment she realized this, she couldn’t hold back anymore. It was as if the morethan 3,000 days and nights of unrequited love and yearning had found an outlet.

She didn’t even know how she had gotten through so many days and nights. She had thought that itwould be like this for the rest of her life-that she would grow old and die alone harboring this unrequitedlove. But now, she finally understood that all her efforts were meaningful This is enough This is morethan enough.

“Why are you’rrying? Did I say something wrong? Or did I upsci you in some way” Nicholas asked, hisheart aching when he saw her cry

“No, it’s not that.” Nancy shook her head. She earnestly explained, “I’m not upset. I’m just…” Suddenly,she couldn’t replace the right word to describe her feelings. So, she threw herself into his arms, squeezingher petite figure into his broad embrace. She wanted to hold him tight and feel his warmth and breath.

So, this is what being in love feels like. It’s sweet and reassuring. This is no longer unrequited love; it’snot just me giving anymore. I love him so, so much. “Nicholas…” she said, calling his name. In reality,she didn’t know. what she wanted to say. She just wanted to call his name..

“Hmm?” Nicholas responded softly, his tone lifting at the end as he silently waited for her to continue.However, after waiting for a while, he didn’t hear anything from her. He lowered his head and asked.tenderly, “Why don’t you say anything? I’m still waiting.”

Nancy smiled and snuggled back into his embrace. She replied in a low voice, “It’s nothing. I justwanted to call your name.”

“Do you really have nothing to say?” he asked.

Nancy shook her head slightly. She felt incredibly happy just lying in his arms like this, feeling hisbreath and listening to his heartbeat. For the first time, she realized how fulfilling and joyful it was tohave their hearts connected and to be in love with each other. Even if they didn’t do anything, just.cuddling each other in silence would bring tremendous satisfaction.

Apparently, Nicholas didn’t think so. “Nancy…” This time, it was his turn to call her name.

“Mm-hmm, Nancy responded, thinking he just wanted to call her name like she had just done.

The next moment, however, she realized she was wrong-Nicholas turned on the shower again andstood under the showerhead with her in his arms. In an instant, the hot water poured over both of them,the streams of warm water feeling incredibly soothing. “Are you cold?” he asked.

Nancy shook her head and replied, “No, I’m not. I feel very comfortable.”

“Do you want to feel even more comfortable, then?”

“Huh?” Nancy looked up in puzzlement.

“Nancy, I want to do what you didn’t finish just now. Are you ready?”

“Ready for- Ready for what? Before Nancy could finish, she suddenly felt a warm, tender, andcomfortable kiss on her lips.

So, this is what he meant by “even more comfortable.” Just as she realized this, the next moment, shefound herself pressed against the wall by Nicholas, whose hand gripped her waist. He left her no roomto retreat, and his lips claimed hers with deep yearning.

His kiss was powerful, resembling a tempest that nearly engulfed her entirely. It was unlike the previoustender ones, nor was it a mere peck on the lips. He kissed her with such fervor, as if desiring to mergeher entire existence with his and etch her into his life.

Nancy struggled to catch her breath, she felt as if her brain was being deprived of oxygen. Her cheekshad a slight flush, as if a rosy blush had been applied, giving her an adorable and charmingappearance “Nicholas’ Um Could you please slow down! I she gasped, clutching his clothes with nostrength remaining Her voice, salt and flirtatious, lingered in Nicholas’ heart, intensifying his longing forher

“Nancy…” Like her, he was breathing heavily, his breath scorching hot. “Nancy, I want…” he said,pressing his forehead against hers. Although he didn’t finish his sentence, his intentions were crystal

clear.
