    Chapter 160 I Loved My Husband For Ten Years


    “Nichs, do you know? I can’t stand you. I hate you so much. You’re like a block of wood, a fool.” As


    Nancy spoke, she gently poked Nichs’ chest. Despite being clearly. intoxicated, her beauty


    remained undiminished. The steam from the bathroom enhanced her allure, with flushed cheeks and


    cherry-red lips making her even more enchanting.


    However, he stood still, allowing her yful pokes to continue without flinching.


    Nancy poked him a few times before pausing, then poked him again as if a thought crossed her mind.


    With a tipsy grin, she asked, “You seem to have changed into an entirely different person. Why didn’t


    you dodge?”


    “Why should I dodge?” Nichs responded.


    She blinked her drowsy, mischievous eyes, and as if inspired, she smiled coyly. Suddenly, she scooped


    up water from the bathtub and sshed it onto the man.


    Nichs was caught off guard, and by the time he realized what was happening, Nancy had already


    doused him with water several times. With his hair soaked and water droplets cascading down, she


    couldn’t help but giggle. “Not dodging will make you end up wet!”


    It had been a while since he had seen her so genuinely happy. At that moment, he felt his heart


    melting. Still, he didn’t retreat but walked forward, reaching his long, fair arms out. to ruffle her hair,


    asking affectionately, “Did you have fun sshing water on me?”


    Nancy nodded, still smiling drowsily. “It was fun.” As she spoke, she suddenly got up from the bathtub


    and poked Nichs’ chest again, using him disgruntledly, “Did you know? You used to be a refined


    gentleman when I first met you. It’s like you were a flower on a high peak, making people hesitant to


    approach. But now…” She poked him harder, adding, “Look at yourself. You’ve be down and out,


    which makes you an ordinary person like me.” She continued, “Let me tell you something. I don’t like


    you acting this way. It’s like we’re from different worlds. When we got married, it felt like no one was


    happy for me besides Grandpa, especially your friends. They thought I married you to climb up the


    socialdder and that I was after wealth and status.


    “What do you think?” he asked with a raised brow.


    Tilting her head and pondering, Nancy replied, “I think they were right! It’s true. I was too dreamy,


    always imagining myself as a princess, waiting for a prince toe and rescue. me. But in reality, I


    didn’t even have a knight. They were right; we are from two different. worlds. Our worlds finally


    separated after so much difficulty, and our connection was cut off. But why didn’t you stay away? Why


    must you return to disturb my life? Why did youe back and stir up my emotions?” The more she


    spoke, the sadder and more painful she felt. Tears started streaming down her face, and she wanted to


    wipe them away but found herself wearing a short-sleeved shirt. Therefore, she didn’t have a sleeve to


    wipe her


    tears with. At that instant, her gaze fell onto Nichs’ shirt. “Come closer!” she urged him.


    “What do you want?” he rebuked, “Didn’t you tell me to stay away earlier?” Although he said that, his


    body had already taken a step forward, bringing him very close to her.


    Nancy hooked her fingers. “You’re too far. Come closer.”


    Nichs moved closer again and was now right beside the bathtub.

    Without thinking much about it, she pulled his shirt and started wiping away her tears.


    Immediately, his expression fell. He was wondering why she asked him toe closer. Who would


    have thought it was to use his shirt to wipe away her tears?


    “Nancy!” He yelled.


    Nancy hurriedly raised her head, looking at Nichs with pitiful eyes. “Who told you to bring me home?


    You have to take responsibility for your actions.”


    “How do you want me to take responsibility for this?” he asked, his eyes gradually turning dark.


    Grabbing the shower head, she started spraying him. His shirt was instantly wet as water flowed down


    his body like a stream.


    Satisfied, she said, “Of course, you must be responsible for making me happy.”


    “You’re bing more and more mischievous.” While criticizing her, Nichs ran his fingers through


    his hair, but his tone was filled with undeniable indulgence.


    “You’re right. I am mischievous. I also have a secret to tell you.” Nancy suddenly ced her hand


    beside her lips as she spoke mysteriously.


    “What’s the secret?”


    “I used to fake my personality.” She stated, “Actually, I’m not well-behaved or obedient. I used to be


    mean, so you’ve been fooled.” As she spoke, she deliberately ced both hands. beside her lips and


    put on a fierce expression. Then, she suddenly parted her lips and revealed her teeth to make a


    menacing face. But when she saw his calm expression that seemed like he wasn’t surprised, she was


    slightly disappointed and asked, “Aren’t you surprised by that?”


    Nichs ignored her. If he had any doubts about Nancy’s sobriety or whether she was simply putting


    on an act, those uncertainties had now evaporated. It was abundantly clear that she was indeed


    inebriated. This was evident in the way she engaged in ceaseless chatter, babbling like a child yet


    exuding a certain charm and adorability that was hard to


    ignore.


    “Geez, weez, Nichs, you’re not adorable at all. This is no fun.” She pouted her lips in dissatisfaction.


    “How about I tell you a joke? Why did the chicken cross the road? It’s because it wanted to get to the


    other side!”


    But the man stood there and didn’t smile.


    Dissatisfied, Nancy refused to admit defeat. “Isn’t that funny? Let me think. I’ll tell you another one.


    Three tomatoes are walking down the street. Papa Tomato, Mama Tomato, and Baby Tomato. Baby


    Tomato starts falling behind, and Papa Tomato gets really angry, so he goes back and squishes Baby


    Tomato, saying, ‘Ketchup.’ Hahahaha. Ketchup, got it?”


    After delivering her joke, she erupted intoughter, but Nichs maintained his indifference, his face


    frozen in the same impassive expression as before. There was no trace of a smile; his countenance


    remained as rigid and emotionless as ever.


    At that moment, she was finally angry. She got up and ced her hands on his face without hesitation,


    forcing him to smile.


    With that, Nichs finally revealed a bitter smile. But his smile seemed worse than crying.


    Nancy also found it awful, so she withdrew her hand and returned to the bathroom, leaning her head


    against the bathtub.


    This time, as she cast a nce at him, her gaze abruptly became serious. “Would to hear another joke


    from me? This one isn’t something I found on the inte, but rather one I came up with myself. I


    assure you it’s hrious, and it will definitely make youugh.”

    With her eyshes trembling, Nancy closed her eyes and spoke softly, “I once foolishly loved a man for


    ten years. We used to be inseparable. He was my husband, yet he acted as if he knew nothing. It was


    as if he had amnesia. What do you think of that? Isn’t it a


    massive joke?”
