    Chapter 6 Nichs’ White Lies


    “What did you say?” Nancy couldn’t believe it; her body couldn’t help but tremble. She suddenly felt


    extremely cold. A chill was creeping up her limbs from the soles of her feet, making her shiver


    uncontrobly. Back then, Grandpa asked her, “Nancy, if Nichs wants to marry you, will you ept


    him?” “Grandpa, did he say it by himself?” At that time, she already knew that the person he loved was


    Madelline, that’s why she asked that kind of question. She told herself that if Nichs were forced by


    Grandpa, she would never agree anyway. Nancy never wants to keep the man by using marriage. And


    she certainly didn’t want to obtain him in such a way. “Nancy, you know how stubborn Nichs is. How


    could I force him if he didn’t want it by himself?” Later, she also asked Nichs. “Did you marry me


    willingly? I know Grandpa dotes on me, and I don’t want you to marry me because he told you so. I


    don’t want to make things difficult for you.” How did Nichs respond to her? He said, “I did it on my


    will. I had already broken up with Madelline. We had made an agreement. In three years’ time, I will try


    to fall in love with you. We will peacefully divorce if I can’t love you within three years. Do you agree?”


    “Yes, I do!” She was smiling brightly at that moment. Nichs also asked her, “Why did you agree to


    marry me? Don’t you have someone you like? Are you willing to be tied down by marriage? Don’t you


    want to pursue your own love?” She said she did. She had liked him for eight years. Then she shook


    her head and said, “I am not pursuing him anymore.” Because she had already be his wife,


    transitioning directly from love to marriage, making a significant milestone in her life. But now,


    Madelline told her that all of this was a lie. If what she said was true. That would mean that from the


    very beginning, everyone was deceiving her. In three years? Nancy pinched her fingers and suddenly


    wanted tough. Love is just like a cover, a tant lie. She was so touched that she shed tears back


    then, thinking that Nichs had really forgotten Madelline and wanted to start over with her properly.


    But it turned out she was the naive one, the one being manipted and yed around with in circles.


    “Nancy, you’re really innocent and cute. How could Nichs marry you willingly? Do you know why he


    proposed a three-year contract? It’s to ensure that in three years, you would have no reason to divorce


    him withoutint, to set him free, and then he woulde back to marry me.” “He knows that only


    if you bring it up to Grandpa, he will agree. If he asks Grandpa, Grandpa will definitely not agree. “In


    order to be with me, he put in a lot of effort, even … set up this beautiful trap.” Madelline’s words made


    Nancy feel like she was in an ice cave. A chill tightly embraced her, making her feel so cold. If only


    everything wasn’t real. Then during all those days and nights, was he acting? And all those nights. He


    held her passionately, lovingly. Were they all fake? Not a single thing was real? Nancy felt a deep, bitter


    sadness. She suddenly felt like a clown, utterly foolish. Only so she could let Nichs design this


    series of deceptions, allowing herself to be framed. “I don’t believe it unless you tell me how Grandpa


    pressured him.” Nancy clenched her fists. After spending so much time with him, she knew Nichs


    too well. ording to his personality, even if Grandpa held a knife to his neck, he wouldn’t easily give


    in if it weren’t for a very important matter.” Madelline smiles sarcastically. “Nancy, you’re still so


    persistent. Since you want to know so badly, I’ll tell you.” “Because Grandpa threatened him. If he didn’t


    marry you, Grandpa would send me abroad, and in my lifetime, Nichs and I will never meet again.


    Although we couldn’t be together, hepromised, so that he could meet me again.” Nancy bit her lip,


    feeling very ufortable. Ufortable to the extent that she couldn’t even say a word. Madelline


    didn’t spare her and continued her attack, “As for my legs, do you remember your wedding day?


    Nichs received a call during the wedding and almost left right then and there.” “Yes.” It’s her


    wedding. Of course, she remembered. “Because I had a car ident on my way to your wedding,


    almost died, and had to be resuscitated for a day to barely survive. These legs were already


    paralyzed.” No wonder he left in such a hurry after the wedding. She had even asked him if something


    had happened at thepany. He said a friend had been in a car ident, and he wanted to take care


    of the friend. But Grandpa didn’t allow him to go, so Nichs asked her to cover up for him. She


    remembered that Grandpa specifically called and asked her, “Nancy, is Nichs behaving well and


    staying with you?” “Yes, Grandpa. He’s here, right by my side.” She naively covered for him. As a


    result, he didn’t return all night on their wedding night. And it turned out that he had spent the night with


    another woman. In the following days, he left home early and returnedte, always looking exhausted.


    But he never told her that the friend he mentioned was Madelline! If only she had known. Nancy smiledThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    bitterly. However, she would have covered for him even if she had known. After all, Nancy loved him so


    much. How could she bear seeing him being scolded by Grandpa? “So what? Why are you telling me


    all this now?” Nancy looked at her, suddenly feeling like a porcupine fighting desperately, raising all her


    quills to protect her soft body. “Do you want me to admit that your legs paralyzed because of me? Did I


    cause your legs to paralyze?” “Nancy, be honest with yourself. Isn’t it true?” Madelline’s voice became


    agitated. “If it weren’t for you, Grandpa wouldn’t have pressured Nichs, he wouldn’t have reluctantly


    married you, and I wouldn’t have had a car ident on my way to your wedding, resulting in these


    paralyzed legs.” “If it were not for you, I would have married Nichs long ago. We might already have


    a house full of children, living happily together.” Nancy tried hard to control herself. After a while, she


    raised her head and calmly replied, “It wasn’t because of me. You just found a convenient excuse and


    a substitute for your own leg injury.” “I believe Grandpa. He loves me so much, but he must have had


    his reasons for not wanting you to be with Nichs. If you really met his standards to be his


    granddaughter-inw, even if there were a thousand Nancy, ten thousand Nancy, it wouldn’t shake


    your position as his granddaughter-inw.” “As you said, since Grandpa went to such lengths to


    separate you two, it can only mean that you have problems yourself.” “I may not be a wealthy young


    lady, but I won’t let you bully me. Don’t try to pin all these usations on me.” “No one invited you to


    the wedding. Moreover, no one asked you to drink and drive.” Nancy spoke with confidence, her words


    were well-structured and interconnected. Not letting anyone spot any mistakes. Madelline looked at


    Nancy in disbelief. After two years apart, she couldn’t believe that the girl who used to follow behind


    Nichs so carefully, blushing at the slightest thing and speaking softly, had suddenly be so


    fierce and assertive. “Do you think I will be absent at the wedding of the person I love the most?” “The


    person you love the most?” Nancy sneered, “Madelline, there are things that Nichs doesn’t know,


    but that doesn’t mean I don’t know too. Don’t push me into digging up your dirty past.” “You’re talking


    nonsense. I’mpletely innocent. How could you use me like this?” Madelline became agitated


    and stumbled, suddenly falling from her wheelchair. At this moment, Nichs returned. He put down


    the thermos and gently helped Madelline up, his brow furrowed as he asked coldly, “Can someone


    please tell me what happened?”
