Chapter 220 Personally Witnessing Her Happiness

As they reached the second floor, Christian realized that he was still holding her hand. Nancy lowered her gaze and gently reminded him, “Christian?”

He immediately let go and apologized, saying, “I’m sorry.”

Even though he had released her hand, the warmth from their brief contact lingered in his palm, comforting and gentle. Nancy’s hand was petite and soft, even more delicate than he had imagined.

“Hmm? What misunderstanding?” Nancy was puzzled, wondering what could have been misunderstood. She had only come to visit him and couldn’t think of any reason for

misunderstandings.

Nancy’s eyes widened in surprise, “Really?”

“Absolutely,” he confirmed.

“Should I clarify it with your mother? It might be awkward when your real girlfriend visits.”

“No need,” he said. “I don’t have a girlfriend just yet.”

“Alright.” He nodded.
