    Chapter 173 Arguments Arise Between Couples But Resolve In Bed


    Nancy took a step back and replied, “It’s just a coincidence.”


    “A coincidence?” Julian smirked coldly. “Do you expect me to believe that? You deliberately fell when I


    entered the room and even stared at me while I was drinking. Do you think all of this is just a


    coincidence? Do you take me for a fool?”


    Hearing his words, Nancy was also taken aback. These were originally just coincidences, but through


    his interpretation, they hadpletely transformed into something else.


    “You have misunderstood, Mr. Jadin. I never intended to get your attention,” Nancy insisted.


    “I don’t believe you.” Julian looked at her with a sharp gaze.


    Nancy waved her hand casually and said, “Well, if you don’t believe me, I won’t say anything more.”


    She knew that saying anything else would only make things worse.


    At that moment, she lowered her head and found an opportunity to slip out from under Julian’s arm.


    She left without hesitation, without even looking back.


    Julian watched her leave and sneered. “You’re just ying hard to get. Unfortunately, I’m not falling for


    it.”


    After leaving Julian, Nancy headed towards the private room. She remembered it was the one on the


    left, so she pushed open the door on the left.


    However, as the door swung open, she was momentarily stunned when she saw the people inside.


    She had entered the wrong room! This private room was different from the one where her colleagues


    were. It was filled with people singing, ying games, and chatting. In any case, it was lively. Although.


    the room had dim lighting and was crowded, Nancy instantly spotted Nichs. He was loungingzily


    on the couch with his legs crossed. Despite his casual demeanor, he still looked noble and elegant.


    Nancy noticed he was sitting in the center of the room. Clearly, he was the center of attention,


    surrounded by admirers like the stars orbiting the moon.


    Upon seeing an unfamiliar and beautiful woman barge into the room, the entire room fell silent.


    Everyone’s gaze turned to Nancy.


    Nancy raised her head and immediately spotted Nichs. However, his eyes were cold, and he had at


    calm expression.


    He was eerily calm.


    Nancy lowered her gaze Her eyshes hid the disappointment and sadness in her eyes


    Since he has decided to pretend not to knowe me and treat me as a stranger, why should I say


    anything? Maybe! should just forget it. After all, we are already divorced, so strictly speaking, we are


    indeed strangers. Hence, he is doing the right thing I dont need to feel upset about it I must have just


    been surprised that he could be so rumpord


    “I’m sorry. I entered the wrong room,” said Nancy. Then, she turned and was about to leave.


    Just then, a voice sounded behind her. “We have strict rules here, sweetheart. You can’t juste and


    go as you please.” The man in the blue shirt who spoke walked over from the couch. Although he


    looked handsome, his words hinted at danger.


    “I didn’t mean to barge in. I simply walked into the wrong room. My room is just across from yours.”


    Nancy exined.


    However, the man wasn’t interested in exnations. He took a step forward and towered over her. “I


    don’t care about these exnations, sweetheart. I’m only interested in the result. You’ve walked into


    the wrong room, so you must agree to my request before you can leave. Otherwise, you will be


    stepping on. my dignity. I even have a VIP in my room today, and you’ve startled him. Hence, you must


    make amends and apologize before leaving.”


    Hearing his words, Nancy raised her head, her gazending on Nichs. She knew that the VIP the


    man was referring to was Nichs. However, she didn’t ask for Nichs’ help since he was already


    treating her as a stranger. Besides, Nichs just watched as the man made things difficult for her.


    maintaining the same posture as before without any movement. Thus, she knew it would make not


    difference even if she begged him. All she would do was humiliate herself. After all, if he wanted to help


    her, he wouldn’t have stood by and watched this man bully her.


    Lowering her gaze, Nancy asked, “What should I do?”


    Jayden Philip smirked and snapped his fingers. “Bring it over.”


    Soon, a ss of white wine was ced in front of Nancy. In that split second, Nancy’s heart skipped a


    beat. She knew that she would have no choice but to drink the wine before her. Although she was


    somewhat scared, she still reached out to take the ss.


    Just as she was about to drink it, Jayden suddenly stopped her. “Wait.”


    Nancy looked at him with confusion.


    “This isn’t the only option, you know,” Jayden said abruptly.


    “What else is there to choose from?”


    “I mentioned earlier that you’ve disturbed my VIP. If you’re willing to kiss him or do something simr to


    gain his forgiveness, I can…” Forgive you.


    Before he could even finish his words, Nancy refused him. “No. I choose to drink.” With that, she


    downed the entire ss of white wine without hesitation.


    Looking at her actions, Nichs shifted slightly. He wanted to stop her, but it was already toote. He


    didn’t expect her to choose to drink such arge ss of white wine instead of kissing him. At that


    moment, he felt it was quite ironic.


    Do you really hate me that much, Nancy? Just the thought of this possibility made Nichs


    heartbroken. He wondered when their rtionship had turned so sour

    After finishing the drank, Nancy felt her throat burn as it it were being roasted by fire It hurt badly. She


    also felt her stomach burning causing intense difort Her head felt incredibly heavy

    At that moment, Jayden knew he had made a mistake. He looked at Nichs with concern, seeking


    guidance on how to proceed.


    Meanwhile, Nancy set down the ss forcefully and looked at Jayden. I drank it. Can I leave now?”


    Throughout the entire process, she didn’t spare Nichs a single nce.


    After all, why bother looking at him when they were just strangers?


    “Go” Jayden helplessly waved his hand.


    Immediately, Nancy clutched her stomach and rushed out of the room as if the king had just granted


    her a pardon.


    As soon as she left, a loud noise erupted in the room. Nichs stood up and kicked the coffee table,


    creating a thunderous crash that startled everyone in the room. The room fell eerily quiet as everyone.


    froze, barely daring to breathe.


    “Get out, all of you.”


    Instantly, the people in the room let out a collective sigh of relief and quickly left. Soon, the room


    returned to silence, leaving only Nichs and Jayden.


    Jayden noticed that Nichs was in a sour mood and let out a sigh. He approached him and offered


    some advice, saying, “Nichs, in my view, if you want to reconcile with her, it might be helpful to set


    aside your ego. Acknowledge your mistakes and consider buying her a piece of jewelry. It’s rare for a


    woman to turn down such a gesture. And if all else fails, you can always work things out with her


    intimately. I assure you, she will forgive you. It’s important to remember that women arepassionate


    by nature. This is just a disagreement, which ismon among couples and can be resolved through


    openmunication.”
