    Chapter 178 Nancy, I Love You Too (2)


    Nancy shook her head, resisting Nichs. “Don’t tell me. Nichs. I don’t want to hear it.”


    Nichs cupped her face in his hands, lowering his head until his nose touched hers, and let out a soft


    chuckle. Silly girl, I knew you must have misunderstood me. “Nancy…” he began, gazing at her. In that


    moment, his eyes shone brightly, as if countless stars were twinkling within them. Then, his thin lips


    parted, and he spoke with the gentlest words, “Listen to me: I’ve never considered your feelings for me


    to be a nuisance. On the contrary, I’m very, very happy about it.”


    “Why?” Nancy asked stupidly. She felt her brain capacity was insufficient to think clearly.


    “Silly girl, it’s because I love you, too!”


    When those words exploded in her head, Nancy’s first thought was that she must be dreaming. How


    else could she hear such words? He loves me? Does he really love me?


    After ten years, this was almost something she didn’t dare to dream about. When she married him, her


    only hope was to spend the rest of their lives together; just being with him brought her immense joy and


    satisfaction. Later, witnessing his unique affection and care for Madelline, she didn’t even dare to hope.


    But now, he was telling her that he loved her!


    She was stunned and could hardly think. It took her a while to find her voice again. “But aren’t you in


    love with-


    Nichs interrupted her before she could finish. “Nancy, that was in the past. I know I didn’t treat you


    well back then; I always broke your heart and made you upset, but it’s different now. I know that I love


    you. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made so many mistakes, let alone hurt you,” he said, bringing her hand


    to his lips and kissing it repeatedly. “It’s all my fault. Do you know how upset I was when you asked for


    a divorce? I didn’t want to be apart from you at all, but you were so determined. I even considered


    resorting to dirty means to keep you with me for as long as possible, but Nancy, whether it was then or


    now, I don’t want to force you. I know you’re angry with me for the mistakes I’ve made. You can do


    whatever you want to me. Just don’t ignore me.”

    Nancy’s eyes widened in disbelief; if she hadn’t heard it herself, she wouldn’t have dared to believe her


    own ears. This was the scenario she had dreamt of so many times, but now that it was actually


    happening, she suddenly forgot how to react. It took a while before she regained herposure. The


    next moment, she looked up, and her eyes instantly filled with tears. Soon, tears cascaded down her


    cheeks uncontrobly.


    It had been ten years; she had loved him for ten years, during which time she had married him and


    separated from him. Just when she thought everything was a one-woman show, he told her that he


    loved her, too. The moment she realized this, she couldn’t hold back anymore. It was as if the more


    than 3,000 days and nights of unrequited love and yearning had found an outlet.


    She didn’t even know how she had gotten through so many days and nights. She had thought that it


    would be like this for the rest of her life-that she would grow old and die alone harboring this unrequited


    love. But now, she finally understood that all her efforts were meaningful This is enough This is more


    than enough.


    “Why are you’rrying? Did I say something wrong? Or did I upsci you in some way” Nichs asked, his


    heart aching when he saw her cry


    “No, it’s not that.” Nancy shook her head. She earnestly exined, “I’m not upset. I’m just…” Suddenly,


    she couldn’t find the right word to describe her feelings. So, she threw herself into his arms, squeezing


    her petite figure into his broad embrace. She wanted to hold him tight and feel his warmth and breath.


    So, this is what being in love feels like. It’s sweet and reassuring. This is no longer unrequited love; it’s


    not just me giving anymore. I love him so, so much. “Nichs…” she said, calling his name. In reality,


    she didn’t know. what she wanted to say. She just wanted to call his name..


    “Hmm?” Nichs responded softly, his tone lifting at the end as he silently waited for her to continue.


    However, after waiting for a while, he didn’t hear anything from her. He lowered his head and asked.


    tenderly, “Why don’t you say anything? I’m still waiting.”


    Nancy smiled and snuggled back into his embrace. She replied in a low voice, “It’s nothing. I just


    wanted to call your name.”


    “Do you really have nothing to say?” he asked.


    Nancy shook her head slightly. She felt incredibly happy just lying in his arms like this, feeling his


    breath and listening to his heartbeat. For the first time, she realized how fulfilling and joyful it was to


    have their hearts connected and to be in love with each other. Even if they didn’t do anything, just.


    cuddling each other in silence would bring tremendous satisfaction.


    Apparently, Nichs didn’t think so. “Nancy…” This time, it was his turn to call her name.


    “Mm-hmm, Nancy responded, thinking he just wanted to call her name like she had just done.


    The next moment, however, she realized she was wrong-Nichs turned on the shower again and


    stood under the showerhead with her in his arms. In an instant, the hot water poured over both of them,


    the streams of warm water feeling incredibly soothing. “Are you cold?” he asked.


    Nancy shook her head and replied, “No, I’m not. I feel veryfortable.”


    “Do you want to feel even morefortable, then?”


    “Huh?” Nancy looked up in puzzlement.


    “Nancy, I want to do what you didn’t finish just now. Are you ready?”


    “Ready for- Ready for what? Before Nancy could finish, she suddenly felt a warm, tender, and


    comfortable kiss on her lips.


    So, this is what he meant by “even morefortable.” Just as she realized this, the next moment, she


    found herself pressed against the wall by Nichs, whose hand gripped her waist. He left her no room


    to retreat, and his lips imed hers with deep yearning.


    His kiss was powerful, resembling a tempest that nearly engulfed her entirely. It was unlike the previous


    tender ones, nor was it a mere peck on the lips. He kissed her with such fervor, as if desiring to merge


    her entire existence with his and etch her into his life.


    Nancy struggled to catch her breath, she felt as if her brain was being deprived of oxygen. Her cheeks


    had a slight flush, as if a rosy blush had been applied, giving her an adorable and charming


    appearance “Nichs’ Um Could you please slow down! I she gasped, clutching his clothes with no


    strength remaining Her voice, salt and flirtatious, lingered in Nichs’ heart, intensifying his longing for


    her


    “Nancy…” Like her, he was breathing heavily, his breath scorching hot. “Nancy, I want…” he said,


    pressing his forehead against hers. Although he didn’t finish his sentence, his intentions were crystal


    clear.
