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.
“My mom probably had a long conversation with you downstairs, and she might have misunderstood something. Please don’t take it to heart,” he explained.
“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.
Christian cleared his throat and somewhat embarrassedly said, “Maybe… she misunderstood that there’s something between us, even mistook you for my girlfriend.”
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.”
She considered for a moment and then blinked her long eyelashes at him, saying, “With your qualities, you must have plenty of girls pursuing you. When the time comes, don’t forget to invite me for coffee.”
“Alright.” He nodded.
