Chapter 176 I Love You, Nicholas
The mere thought of the scene made Nancy feel as if a gaping wound had been torn open in her heart. Blood gushed out, causing her intense pain that made her gasp for relief. However, the pain persisted, and she found herself in excruciating agony. In truth, she had always wanted to ask that question, but she lacked the courage and the right to do so. Her heart was left in suspense after posing the question.
Julian’s tall figure froze for a moment. She actually called me “darling!” Her intentions couldn’t be more obvious. But… do I reciprocate those feelings? Who is she referring to? Unable to comprehend her question, he chose to remain silent instead of answering.
After receiving no response for a prolonged period, Nancy furrowed her brow and released her grip on Julian’s arm. She slouched on the couch, closing her eyes and saying with a self-deprecating laugh. “You don’t deny it. You do like them, after all. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked.” Indeed, with stunning looks and an attractive figure, any man would desire a woman like that. Why wouldn’t he? He’s right; even without me, he wouldn’t lack female attention. He could still lead a happy and carefree life, while I’m the only one holding onto the past.
“Nancy, you’re foolish and naive. Why must you fall in love? Why can’t you let go?” she muttered to herself. In her heart, she had already scolded herself countless times, but it was futile; she couldn’t let go, no matter what. She still loved him. What can I do? I still love him deeply. Seeing him with those women tore her heart apart. She longed to cry, but she didn’t want to shed tears in his presence or be looked down upon by him again. “Leave,” she said despite her discomfort.
Julian was somewhat concerned about her current state. “Can you manage on your own?”
“Yes, I can.”
