    Chapter 2 I’ve Loved You for Ten Years


    Nancy felt a subtle pain in her chest. She gripped her fists tightly and spoke softly, “It doesn’t matter.


    He has a crush, and he’s about to get married again.” “Again? He has been married before?” Nichs


    didn’t expect this answer. Being her husband and lived with her for two years, how could he still be


    unable topete with a man who had already been married? Nancy nodded gently and answered,


    “Yes, he was pressured by his family into marrying someone he didn’t love before. Now, the girl he


    loves has returned, and they are about to tie the knot.” Nichs felt quite indignant at this response.


    “He’s a real jerk! He is messing things up for two girls at once. A guy like him isn’t worth your feelings.


    If you have the chance, find someone else to love, and you’ll be happier,” said Nichs. Nancy


    nodded. “I think so, too.” But what can she do? As of today, she has liked him for ten years. A decade


    seemed so distant and lengthy, nearly as long as her entire youth. She would have done it long ago if


    she could have chosen someone else, but she couldn’t. Nobody can pull out a love that has taken root


    in one’s heart. ‘Nichs, I’ve loved you for a decade, do you know that? The person I love isn’t


    someone else. It’s you, only you.’ Nancy clenched her fists, repeating it to herself silently, over and


    over again. Nichs frowned deeply. He gazed at Nancy, appearing to be deep in thought. “Nancy.” He


    suddenly called out to her. “Yes?” “Nothing.” Nichs shook his head. He must have gone crazy! For a


    moment, he felt that the person Nancy was talking about sounded like him. But soon, he denied it. He


    remembered that when they married, Nancy said she had liked that person for eight years. But at that


    time, they had only known each other for four years. Hence, it definitely couldn’t have been him. It must


    be someone else. After Nichs left, Nancy quickly went to the trash bin to get back the pregnancy test


    report. She then smoothed it out on the table and carefully put it away. Her body became increasingly


    ufortable, and it felt like every breath was painful. Shey on the bed and fell asleep for a long


    time. Suddenly, the phone rang. “Hello?” Because she hadn’t fully awakened, Nancy’s voice, tinged


    with a hint of congestion, sounded gentle and endearing. “Still sleeping?” Nichs’ voice came


    through, as gentle as ever. “Yeah, I just woke up.” “It’s almost noon. Remember to get up and have


    lunch. I’ve handed the gift to Lynn, and he’ll bring it to youter,” Nichs said. “Gift? What gift?” After


    her nap, Nancy had forgotten many things. “It’s the gift for our second wedding anniversary. Even


    though I mentioned divorce this morning, since it hasn’t been finalized yet, I’ll still remember my


    responsibilities and fulfill my duties,” Nichs rified. This is Nichs. He is always so gentle and


    considerate, seemingly wless and perfect. He is such a nice guy! Incredibly nice. His only w is that


    he doesn’t love her. As she drifted into thought, Nichs continued, “I need to apologize. There was a


    little trouble with the gift, so I gave you another one.” “Okay!” Nancy nodded, unable to describe the


    feelings in her heart. They were about to divorce, and this so-called anniversary gift felt somewhat


    ironic. After hanging up the call, when Lynn arrived, Nancy had just gotten up and changed her clothes.


    He respectfully handed the gift to Nancy and said, “Mrs. Sallow, here is the gift from Mr. Sallow.”


    “Thanks.” The gift box was exquisitely and uniquely packaged, indicating it was a high-end brand.


    Although she knew it was no longer the gift she had initially expected, Nancy opened it herself. She


    smiled when she saw the ruby ne and earrings that caught her eye. Nichs must be trying to


    make it up to her. Because he couldn’t give her the gift she had in mind, he bought a valuable set of


    jewelry to make up for it. Last month, they went to a jewelry auction together. There was a pair of jade


    earrings, which perfectly matched the jade bracelet his grandfather had given to her. They were


    emerald green and beautifully elegant. She fell in love with them at first sight. Nichs noticed the


    amazement in her eyes and took the initiative to say, “If you like them, I’ll bid for them.” “No, it’s too


    expensive.” After all, they were in a contractual marriage, and she felt embarrassed to spend so much


    of Nichs’ money. “It’s our second anniversary soon, so take it as an anniversary present. If you feel


    uneasy about it, give me a gift in return,” Nichs suggested. That’s why she had expectations.


    Unexpectedly, when he mentioned the divorce, even the pre-prepared gifts were wasted. There seems


    to be no fate between them, and it is time to separate. A gift? She had prepared a thoughtful gift for


    him, but he didn’t want it. Nancy immediately stopped Lynn. “I baked this cake, please give it to him!”


    Lynn was stunned, and Nichs’ words went through his mind. “I don’t like sweet things. If she asked


    you to bring me a cake, reject it.” Staring at Nancy, Lynn couldn’t help but feelpassionate. After


    hesitating, Lynn decided to tell the truth, “Mr. Sallow said he doesn’t like sweet things. He knows you


    like them, so he suggested you have more.” Nancy clenched her palms tightly, almost unable to stand


    still. After Lynn left, she carried the cake and returned to her room. Her weak body slid down the door,


    gradually sinking to the floor. Her heart is in deep pain. She had always known that Nichs didn’t like


    cream or overly sweet cakes. So, she had made this low-fat and low-sugar cake with just a hint of milk


    vor. It is not sweet at all. And there is no cream, just a cake base. But he didn’t even want to try it.


    Nancy opened the cake and smiled while looking at the carefully drawn family of three. The next


    minute, she suddenly reached out to the cake. Nancy grabbed the cake and started to inhale it like she


    was out of her mind. She lowered her head,pletely disregarding her appearance, and ate


    desperately. The cake was so big that she vomited halfway through it. Tears streamed down her face


    as she continued. She couldn’t distinguish the taste from the salty tears mixed with the cake. All she


    knew was that she had to finish it. She was satisfied when she ate the whole cake. However, shortly


    afterward, she rushed to the bathroom, vomiting and experiencing diarrhea. Her stomach was in


    excruciating pain, and she felt extremely ufortable. No one was aware of her egg allergy other


    than her mother. That’s why she usually only ate the cream and never touched the cake base on her


    birthday. But this time, she finished the whole cake base. She told herself this was thest time she


    would be so crazy and reckless for Nichs. After vomiting, she burst into tears. ‘Dear, I’m sorry. I


    couldn’t keep your dad.’ ‘Your dad doesn’t love me. He loves anotherdy. Even though I wanted him to


    stay, I can’t be so selfish’ ‘Dear, you must be strong. I can raise you well by myself.’ Suddenly, the


    phone rang. It was Nichs. Nancy wiped her tears, regained herposure, and answered the call,


    “Hello.” “Have you received the gift? Do you like it?” “Yeah, I do. Thank you!” “You look good in red. It


    suits you.” Nichs continued, “Anyway, I won’t being back tonight.” Suddenly, Madelline gently


    said, “Nichs, have you told her? Come here, I’ve prepared the dinner … “This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
