    Chapter 136 Insisting On Divorce, How Can He Win Her Back?


    The two were caught off guard, freezing in their tracks.


    With each passing moment, their breath grew hotter, and Nancy’s face turned even redder.


    She confessed that she still loved him. It was evident on this quiet night, with the two of them so close


    together. Her heart couldn’t help but beat faster, almost going crazy.


    Nichs’ face also flushed, but unlike Nancy, his was due to restraint. He fought back his desires,


    causing his face to flush.


    So close… Should I kiss her or not?


    In truth, he had been struggling mentally all along.


    If he kissed her, he felt like he would be imposing himself without waiting for her consent, and she


    would surely feel wronged and unwilling. However, if he didn’t, this might be hisst chance. Moreover,


    he couldn’t control himself any longer.


    In the end, bodily instincts overcame all reason. The moment his lips pressed down, the only thought in


    Nichs’ mind was, To hell with the reasons. I just want to kiss her now. Because he really, really


    wanted. to kiss her. However, just as his lips were about to touch hers, Nancy suddenly turned her


    head.


    His lips lightly brushed her cheek, and in the end, the kiss was in vain.


    Nancy clenched her fists and said in a cold tone, “Nichs, please have some self-respect! We’re


    about to get divorced, so you shouldn’t treat me this way.”


    She paused, suppressing the bitterness and sorrow in her heart. “Furthermore, I am not your ything


    to be used as you please. If that’s what you want, I’m sorry, but I can’tply.”


    Nichs froze, feeling utmost difort in his heart. The difort rushed over him like a rising tide,


    almost overwhelming him. It was too painful, excruciatingly so. He was infatuated and unable to control


    his emotions, yet Nancy thought otherwise.


    His heart ached terribly, as if each breath was a stab through his heart.


    Nichs’ gaze dimmed rapidly. He wished he could express his feelings to her. No, Nancy, you’re not


    just a passing fancy. How can you be? I’m infatuated, and my heart beats for you.


    Would she believe him? Probably not.


    But could he me her? Nichs knew all too well that he was the scoundrel, the one in the wrong.


    How many of security?


    times had he hurt her, and how deeply, to make her feel this way, to strip her of any sense


    I’m sorry, Nancy. Nichs repeated this in his mind over and over, but no matter how many times he


    said it, he couldn’t make up for his wrongdoing.


    I’m sorry!” Finally, he left behind those words and fled like a deserter, almost in desperation

    A while after he left, Nancy received a call from Linda.


    “Nancy, sweetheart, how are you? I know you’re feeling terrible. Wait for me: I’ll be back soon.”


    A strong sense of bitterness and injustice immediately welled up in Nancy’s heart when she heard


    Linda’s voice. Her eyes turned red, and she couldn’t help but shed tears. “Linda, I feel so miserable.”


    “I know you’re suffering, but wait for me. I’ll help you get justice, and as for Madelline, I’ll make sure she


    gets what she deserves.”


    A thought quickly struck Nancy at the mention of Madelline. “She has already been sent abroad by


    Nichs, so you probably won’t be able to see her.”


    “Has he really sent her away? Did he do it personally?” Linda was somewhat surprised.


    “She’s most probably been sent away, but not by him personally. He instructed Lynn to do it.”


    “I don’t believe it. Madelline is a scheming woman. If I don’t see her board a ne and leave the


    country with my own eyes, I won’t believe it,” Linda muttered.


    Nancy didn’t think much about this particr point.


    Afterwards, the two best friends talked about many things.


    Nancy had already informed Linda about the miscarriage through WhatsApp. Worried about upsetting


    her, Linda was particrly cautious when speaking, fearing it might trigger Nancy’s sadness and


    sorrow.


    Nancy shared the story of her visit with Nichs to his grandparents’ former residence and told Linda.


    some of the stories she had learned.


    On the other end of the line, Linda also expressed her admiration. “What a loving couple! It’s truly


    enviable and heartbreaking. As for Nichs, despite being his grandfather’s direct descendant, he


    didn’t inherit even a fraction of his grandfather’s qualities!”


    At the mention of Nichs, Nancy fell silent.


    “Nancy… Nancy?” Linda thought the call had been disconnected and called out several times.


    Just as she was about to hang up and redial, Nancy’s voice slowly came through the phone. “Linda.


    Nichs and I are getting a divorce.”


    This time, it was Linda’s turn to be silent. She was certain she had heard clearly. Nancy didn’t say


    wanted a divorce or was preparing for one.


    She said they were getting a divorce. Does this mean she has already made the decision?


    she


    Linda was dumbfounded for a few moments, and then she slowly asked, “Nancy, have you made up


    your mind?”


    Listening to her friend’s solemn tone. Nancy pretended to be nonchnt. “Why so serious? Why be


    sad? The divorce rate is so high these days that it’s be quite normal. After these two years. I


    finally na waarde without love aren’t meant to be together. Even if they force themselves to


    separation.


    be together, it’s destined not to go far. They’ll split up sooner orter. Since the end result is it doesn’t


    seem to matter whether it’s sooner orter. I remember you used toin about Nichs a lot,


    hoping that I’d get far away from him!” Nancy deliberately said with a smile.


    Linda quickly responded, “Comining is one thing, but I only did it to vent. I wanted him to treat you


    better. It’s not like I wanted you to leave. I just wished someone would treat you better, care for you,


    love you, and protect you. Nancy, have you thought it through? Are you really sure about this?”


    Nancy tightly gripped her phone and nodded with conviction. “Yes, I’ve thought it through. I’m very


    certain.”


    Barring any unforeseen circumstances, by this time tomorrow, they would havepleted their divorce


    proceedings after obtaining the necessary documents. They would no longer be husband and wife and


    would beplete strangers.


    “Since you’ve made your decision, I’ll wholeheartedly support you. Nancy, no matter what decision you


    make, I’ll be behind you, giving you strength. I’ll be back soon.”


    “Okay.”


    After ending the call, Nancy struggled to maintain herposure. However, she couldn’t hide the


    glistening tears in her eyes. Time flies by so quickly. We’ve been married for two years, but tomorrow


    we will beplete strangers. Oh, how unpredictable life can be.


    Outside the door, Nichs had been waiting for a while. He had been there when Nancy and Linda


    were on the phone, but he never entered, refraining from interrupting them. Thus, he listened


    attentively throughout their conversation.


    He chain-smoked, one cigarette after another. Nichs couldn’t recall how many he had already


    smoked, and his fingers were starting to ache.


    She has made up her mind and wants a divorce. What should I do? How can I possibly hold onto her?


    When Nichs raised his gaze, his eyes mirrored Nancy’s, filled with tears.
