Chapter 135 The Worthlessness Of Belated Affection

Nancy never expected him to act in such a way – displaying gentleness that was hidden beneath his cold and gruff demeanor. When did he learn to say such things?

She couldn’t even reject him.

In this small town, the night sky was particularly mesmerizing.

Even the moon appeared as if it had been scooped up from the water, soft and clear.

Moonlight scattered across both of them.

Nancy and Nicholas walked side by side as they made their way back to the old house. They were both quiet, as if it had been agreed upon beforehand.

Suddenly, Nancy exclaimed, “Ahhh!”

Nicholas quickly grabbed her hand to steady her.

There were small potholes along the downward slope, and Nancy, who hadn’t been paying attention, nearly fell because of one.

Once she regained her balance, she gently pulled away from Nicholas while politely saying, “Thank you!”

The normal thing for Nicholas to do now was to tell her she didn’t need to thank him.

Yet, as he stared at her moonlit face, he felt another surge of bitterness. He couldn’t bring himself to say those words.

She had spent the entire day smiling freely, movingly, beautifully.

For a moment, Nicholas felt like things had returned to the way they were when they first met. She used to smile radiantly back then. She always had a carefree and adorable smile on her face.

He even thought she had decided to let go of the past and start anew.

However, in this very moment, he was brought back to reality.

That was not the case at all.

Her smiles weren’t a result of a willingness to forgive and forget. They were simply a facade.
