Chapter 217


    Chapter 217 You Dummy, You’re The Man I’ve Loved For Ten Years!


    It doesn’t hurt anymore. I’m perfectly fine now. I’m not in pain at all. Upon seeing Nancy’s frown.


    Nichs confidently stated, “I swear I don’t feel any pain. If you don’t believe me, I can move around to


    show you.”


    He attempted to move his arm, but Nancy quickly grabbed hold of him and stopped him. “Alright, I


    believe you.”


    He gently cupped her face and kissed her on the lips. “Do you feel reassured now?”


    “Mhm.”


    “But…” Nancy continued to delicately trace the scars on his back with her fingers. “You need to take


    care of yourself from now on. Never get injured again. Do you know how much it hurts me when you’re


    injured?”


    Nichs suddenly thought of someone and without thinking, he asked, “Hurts you more than that


    person did?”


    Nancy was momentarily confused. “Who are you talking about?”


    “That person…” he said somewhat awkwardly. “The person you secretly loved and had a crush on for


    ten years.”


    Nancy was briefly stunned and immediately understood who he was referring to. As she bit her lip, a


    bright smile crept onto her face.


    Dummy. Nick is a big dummy. How can he not realize that ‘that person’ is him all along? But I guess I


    can’t entirely me him. It’s my fault. I tried to tell him the first time at the field, but he didn’t listen. I


    tried the second time in the bathroom, leaning on the bathtub, but he left without even hearing me. The


    third time’s supposed to be the charm, but I’d only said I liked him.>


    Indeed, she had never explicitly told him that he was the one she had loved for ten years, so it made


    sense that he was unaware and had misunderstood all along.


    Since he was clueless, she would use that to make him anxious. After all, he had made her sad and


    upset many times too.


    For once, she would have a little fun watching him go crazy.


    Seeing Nancy’s smiling face, Nichs felt increasingly uneasy. As a man, he should not be too


    concerned, especially since he was the one she loved now and the one she was with. He should be


    content. Furthermore, he was not even in her life back when she had a crush on someone else, so how


    could he me her?


    But after falling in love with her, he became possessive and petty.


    He cared


    Nancy propped her chin with one hand, her clear eyes gazing at Nichs. They were like stars,


    sparkling and dazzling. Her lips always carried a faint smile, making her look enchanting.


    All the questions Nichs had wanted to ask were now stuck in his throat.


    It seemed he did not need to ask anymore. Her actions had already revealed everything.


    Finally, consumed by jealousy, he huffed. “If you care so much about that person, why do you like me,


    and why do youe to me? Nancy, I’ll give you a chance now. I won’t stop you. You can go see him if


    you want.”


    She chuckled at that. At that point, her heart was already bubbling with happiness. She felt like she


    was floating on cloud nine, and her life was sweet like honey. On the surface, however, she kept up her


    act by intentionally not saying anything.


    Nichs turned away, not wanting to look at her because he needed some time to himself.


    Just a moment ago, she was so caring, and he was blissfully happy. But now, as excited as he was


    before, he felt equally miserable and deste.


    Nancy did not leave; she only quietly watched a certain someone sulk. After turning away, he regretted


    his outburst.


    In truth, he had only wanted to test her reaction, hoping she would coax him and not actually make her


    leave. He could not bear to do that! Moreover, he had mentally prepared himself. As long as she was


    willing to console him, he would not mind anything else. He would continue to live with her and, from


    then on, never mention that killjoy of a man.


    However, he miscalcted.


    She did not even call his name, let alone console him.


    In the end, he could not hold it in any longer. He intentionally bumped into his wound and then


    pretended to let out a groan.


    As expected, when Nancy heard him cry out in pain, her heart softened. She got up, poured a ss of


    water, and handed it to him. “Would you like some hot water?”


    “No,” he grumbled petntly and turned his head away.


    She did not say anything at first. As she held the ss and lightly tapped her fingers against it, she


    asked again, “Are you sure?”


    How could she not know that he was sulking?


    In the end, Nichs,cking backbone, took the water ss and drank a few sips before he handed it


    back to her. “If you miss that person so much, why don’t you go see him?”


    “How do you know I haven’t looked for him?” Nancy asked in return.


    Upon hearing this answer, he instantly felt a lump in his chest.


    She had actually gone to find that man! Just the thought of it made him want to re up. When he got


    angry, his chest hurt again. But this time, he was not as tolerant as before.


    He reached out and pulled her into his arms. “I don’t care. Since you’ve already seen him, and you


    haven’t reconciled, the person you like now is me. I won’t let go, and I won’t give you to him. If he dares


    toe looking for you again, I won’t spare him.”


    Nancy, with a hint of a smile, asked, “ What are you going to do to him?”


    “This is a matter between us men, and there will be a man-to-man way of settling it. Besides, I


    remember you said he got married and remarried, so in terms of market value or economic power, he


    can’tpare to me.”


    She had to suppress augh, suddenly finding the man in front of her incredibly adorable.


    so cute.>


    “Nick, he hasn’t remarried. And didn’t you get divorced too? The way you say it sounds like I’m buying


    something.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    “Well, let’s pretend that’s the case. I have a high price-to-value ratio, so you’re buying me. Besides,


    how can I be the same as him? My first marriage and remarriage will only ever be with you.”


    Nancy couldn’t resist reaching out and yfully pinching his check. “When did you be so


    shameless?”


    “I’ve always been shameless with you.”


    “Do you hate him, then?” she asked again.


    “Absolutely.”


    “And you don’t like him either?”


    He nodded. “Nope.”


    “Good.” She nodded and then suddenly looked at him, giving a sincere response. “I don’t like him either


    because he’s so, so, so dumb. It’s been such a long time, and he still hasn’t realized he’s that person.


    He’s even getting jealous of himself. He’s so foolish, not cute at all.”


    Wait a moment.


    Nichs’ mind was spinning rapidly.


    Jealous of himself? Jealous of… myself? Is Nancy suggesting that the man is…


    In that moment, he was so excited that he could hardly believe it. So, the person wasn’t someone else


    but… him?
