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.”

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

“Absolutely,” he confirmed.

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

“Alright.” He nodded.
