Chapter 155 Nicholas, Did You Come Here On Purpose?

Nancy asked angrily, “Why did you lie to me?” Her face was pouting, and Luke, sensing the situation, tactfully excused himself.

“Please have a seat,” Nicholas said calmly.

His composure was in stark contrast to her anger, as he appeared unfazed by the situation, almost as if he found everything inconsequential. Yet, strangely, the calmer he seemed, the more infuriated she became.

“I won’t sit down,” Nancy asserted, rejecting Nicholas’ offer and persisting in her inquiry. “I just want to know why you lied to me.”

As she pressed the issue, he lifted his gaze, and his deep, jet-black eyes locked onto hers. Then, in a hushed tone, he uttered, “Fear.”

It was a single word, yet it left Nancy momentarily stunned. She couldn’t understand why Nicholas would be afraid, prompting her to ask, “Why would you fear? Fear of what?” She couldn’t believe the response she was hearing.

He abruptly stood up and took her hand, guiding her to a more secluded area within the hotel. There, he held her frail shoulders with a touch of desperation in his voice,

confessing, “Because I was afraid that you would distance yourself from me once you found out the truth.”

Nancy, her emotions in turmoil, pushed him away, asserting, “You shouldn’t have lied to me then. Your deceit has only driven us further apart. Do you know how terrified I was. when I believed I had lost my sanity and was dragging a stranger to rest with me? I even thought… thankfully…” At this point, she fell abruptly silent, her realization gradually sinking in.
