    Chapter 202 Nichs’s Insecurity


    What had Nancy promised that day?


    She nodded in response.


    She assured Nichs that she would never ask him for money on Felix’s behalf.


    Previously, Nichs had discovered the situation himself and volunteered to handle it.


    But this time, if she asked him for money, it would be apletely different situation.


    Should I borrow money from him?


    Nichs was her only source of support.


    For the sake of her mother, she had to borrow the money.


    Nancy clenched her jaw and dialed Nichs’s number.


    The call connected almost immediately. “Nancy.”


    “Nick, it must be the middle of the night over there. I’m sorry for calling sote. Did I wake you?”


    “No. I haven’t slept yet.”


    “Oh, that’s good. Nick, I actually called to…” askif you could lend me some money.


    But before Nancy could finish her sentence, she heard a soft voice calling out, “Nichs…”


    The first time Nancy heard the voice, she thought she was imagining things.


    “Nichs…” Madelline continued to call out hazily from the bed with her eyes closed.


    The second time Nancy heard the voice, she froze.


    It felt as if her blood was flowing in the wrong direction. Her head felt heavy, and her knees grew weak.


    She didn’t know what she was doing or what she was hearing.


    She stood there in a daze, holding her phone.


    It was such a weak and pitiful voice. Clearly, it belonged to a woman.


    He has a woman in his room.


    If a woman’s soft cries rang out from a man’s room in the middle of the night, Nancy wouldn’t be the


    only woman who couldn’t resist jumping to unsavory conclusions.


    Moreover, the voice sounded familiar to her.


    “Nancy…” Nichs called out when Nancy fell silent.


    Nancy smiled helplessly. “I’m here.”


    “You called for what? I didn’t hear you just now.”


    Nancy’s grip tightened. Thank goodness you didn’t hear clearly. It’s good that you didn’t hear me. What


    am I to him?


    Now that she thought about it, they were only in a rtionship. They had only started dating recently.


    Even when they were married, Nichs wasn’t willing to deal with Felix’s matters. He would be even


    less willing now!


    What gave her the right to borrow 140 thousand from him?


    “It’s nothing. I just called to say good night and sweet dreams,” Nancy said bitterly, clutching her phone.


    “Is that all? Don’t you have anything else to say?” Nichs asked abruptly.


    He didn’t sound pleased.


    Nancy thought she had handled the call well. Even though she heard another woman’s voice, she


    chose to ignore it and pretend she hadn’t heard it.


    Why is he still unsatisfied?


    “Nope,” Nancy replied.


    Nichs became even angrier.


    Gripping his phone, he walked out to the balcony and locked the door behind him.


    Then, he asked, “Didn’t you hear another voice just now?”


    “I did.”


    “Don’t you have anything you want to say or ask?” Nichs checked again.


    Nancy squeezed her phone. Her palm was sweating.


    She felt as if her heart had been stabbed with needles. The stinging pain made it hard for her to


    breathe.


    She had decided to ignore the voice. She kept telling herself not to think about it, so why did he insist


    on reminding her?


    What did he want from her?


    Did he want her to say it was fine? That she understood him? That it was normal for men to have


    desires?


    Did he want her to say she didn’t mind?


    s, Nancy couldn’t say any of that.


    She couldn’t pretend not to mind.


    Nancy didn’t want to lie, so she remained silent and acted as if nothing had happened.


    Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt as much if she didn’t see it herself.


    “I have nothing to say. You’re free to do whatever you want,” Nancy replied.

    Nichs’ veins were starting to bulge at this point. “Are you sure you have nothing to say?”


    “If I do, it’s what I said earlier. Good night. Sweet dreams.”


    Nichs threw his phone in a fit of anger.


    His phone shattered into pieces. Just then, Madelline struggled to get into her wheelchair and picked


    up the pieces with great difficulty.


    She kept bending down and picking everything up.


    It took her a long time and a lot of effort.


    Still, she picked up the broken pieces of Nichs’ phone and held them up to him with both hands.


    “What made you so angry? Nothing is worth jeopardizing your health.”


    Nichs nced at her coldly and grabbed his shattered phone before leaving.


    He barely even looked at her.


    Madelline felt ignored, and her heart burned with resentment.


    When she was in bed earlier, she couldn’t hear what he said. However, from the gentle look on his


    face. when he answered the call, she was certain it was Nancy who had called.


    That was why she purposely called out to Nichs in a soft voice.


    She wanted to see Nancy’s reaction.


    She never would’ve thought that Nancy would remain unaffected while Nichs would be the one


    feeling furious.


    Out in the hallway, Nichs smoked cigarette after cigarette.


    He held his phone to his ear with one hand while the other brought the cigarette up to his lips.


    The smoke enveloped his face.


    Upon closer inspection, one would find that his face was as cold as ice right now.


    Meanwhile, Luke couldn’t take it anymore. “Nichs, from the way you kept calling me just now, I


    thought it was an emergency. Well? You haven’t said a word since the call connected.”


    If it weren’t for the sound of Nichs smoking, Luke would have thought the call had ended.


    “I want to ask you something.” After a while, Nichs finally spoke.


    “Go ahead.”


    “If a woman knows you’re with another woman in the middle of the night but doesn’t care at all and


    doesn’t show any jealousy, what does that mean?”


    Nichs felt relieved to get the words out, and he anxiously awaited the answer.


    “If something like that doesn’t make her jealous, I suppose there could be two reasons.”


    “What are the two reasons?” Nichs impatiently asked.


    “The first possibility is that she loves him too much, so she lets the man do whatever he wants because


    she’s too afraid that he would get tired of her and leave. She doesn’t want to lose the rtionship. The


    other possibility is that she doesn’t love him at all, so she doesn’t care whether he’s with another


    woman or even ten women, for that matter. Hey, man. Are you talking about Nan-”


    Before Luke could finish speaking, Nichs interrupted him to say, “I’m ending the call.”


    He then hung up.


    There are two possibilities: either she loves me excessively or not at all. Nancy, which one is it? Why


    do you show no concern whatsoever? Which category do you fall into?
