Chapter 128 It Turns Out That He Has Long Fallen in Love With Her

Nicholas was suddenly stunned when these words escaped Samuel’s lips. His fingers, which were holding the cigarette, abruptly froze in mid-air. At that moment, he suddenly felt like someone. had given him a wake-up call, for he had never thought of this possibility before. However, now that Samuel mentioned it, he suddenly realized he had overlooked a crucial issue.

I’ve been adamant about never getting back with Madelline ever since our reconciliation, especially now. I won’t choose to be with her even if Nancy and I part ways. But why? What Samuel said was right. I clearly loved Madelline before, so getting back together with her would be the best outcome if Nancy and I divorced. Yet, why do I keep rejecting the idea?

“I haven’t thought about it,” Nicholas said truthfully. Indeed, he never thought of the reason.

Samuel put out the cigarette in his hand and calmly explained, “The answer is simple. You don’t. love her anymore because you’ve fallen in love with someone else.” As he spoke, his gaze landed on Nicholas and Nancy’s bedroom.

Truth be told, he had comprehended everything through Nicholas’ anxiety when treating Nancy just now. But sometimes, such was love. The bystanders always had better judgment than those in the relationship when it came to conflict.

“If my guess is correct, the person you love is your wife and not Madelline.” With that, Samuel patted Nicholas on the shoulder. “Cherish your wife while you still can, for some things will never return once lost. Please don’t be like me in the past.”

“Thank you for the advice.” Nicholas expressed his gratitude sincerely.

After Samuel left, Nicholas took a bath and slept next to Nancy. However, he was practically insomniac that night as his mind kept recalling Samuel’s words. The person you love is your wife.” Nancy is the person I love? Have I truly fallen in love with her?

This sentence kept going around frantically in his mind. He thought for a long time when a sudden realization hit him for a moment. Samuel was right! I might’ve long fallen in love with Nancy. It’s just that I’m clueless about it. I will be distressed, uncomfortable, and in pain whenever she cries. Just the thought of her leaving my life drives me mad. In fact, I’d even go crazy with jealousy when I saw her and Christian together, especially when they acted flirtatiously. In the past, I had always defined it as Nancy being my wife and my person, so she could never act this way with a man. That was also why I always felt that it was my possessiveness that was haunting me.But now that I have re-examined everything. I seem to have found a different explanation. I care for her because I love her; I feel jealous because I love her, and because I love her, it pains me to part ways with her. But… I’m too dumb.I can’t believe I’m so dumb that I have understood and realized it all too late. I only repent after I have hurt her so badly and after she files for divorce.

He stretched out his hand and wrapped Nancy’s petite hand tightly in his, his face full of guilt and sorry. “Sweetie, I was too dumb. I’ve realized my feelings too late. Can you still give me another chance? Can you? Will you?”

Although he knew she was already asleep and could not hear what he said, he still looked at her and muttered soi

How I wish she could give me another chance. This time, I will cherish it. How I wish she could forget everything that had happened before when she woke up. Then, we can return to when we were just married. I promise I will surely love her and pamper her even more. But can we? Do I still have the chance?

The next morning. Nancy saw Nicholas sleeping soundly beside her when she woke up. His familiar- looking face was as handsome as ever; only there were some newly grown beards on his face. Nonetheless, it still did not affect his beauty at all.

She got up and stretched. Then, she changed into a beautiful dress and went downstairs. Perhaps because she had recovered from her illness, she felt much more relaxed. Coupled with the bright sunshine, her mood improved a lot.

Meanwhile, Nicholas, who had just woken up, reached out to touch the spot next to him before opening his eyes. He immediately sat up from the bed when he realized no one was beside him.

“Nancy…” He called out while getting out of bed to look for her.

To his dismay, she was nowhere to be seen, even after he searched the entire room. For a moment, he seemed to feel himself getting brought back to when he came home and looked for her yesterday, extremely panicked and scared.

“Nancy…” he shouted as he drew the curtain.

However, unlike last time, there was no one behind the drapes. Nothing. Even so, he refused to give up and opened another curtain. Unfortunately, his search was futile. He bent over and looked out the window, but there was nothing outside the window either.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a rush of relief. What was I afraid of? Was I scared that she would jump off the building?

“Nancy…”

Nicholas changed direction and swiftly ran downstairs. At last, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. and the corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile when he saw the familiar figure sitting and enjoying

breakfast in the dining room on the first floor.

Hearing his voice, Nancy turned around. She was stunned when she saw a bearded man with disheveled clothes and shoes on backward.

The next moment, he hugged her tightly. His strength was so forceful that she could hardly breathe. Therefore, she had no choice but to reach out and pull his clothes. “You’re choking me. Let go.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Only then did he loosen his grip a little. Immediately afterward, he said, “Why did you come down alone? You scared the hell out of me. I thought you were gone. Let me know in advance where you’ll go in the future,” he requested.

As she listened to his words, she could not explain the emotion brewing within her. He’s always been a composed, handsome, and elegant man throughout our marriage. Yet, a man who always wears a suit and tie and even being particular about the angle of his tie shows such a disheveled side. And for what? Just because he got panic-stricken at the thought of me missing and was frantically rushing downstairs looking for me? So, this man, who is particular about everything, beats himself up and ditches his principles disorderly because of me?But it’s too late, for I don’t need it anymore.

Perhaps because this was the last hug between the two, Nancy figured it would not hurt much to cling to it for a while. For that reason, she accepted his hug.

Nicholas embraced her while she quietly stayed in his arms. Eventually, the two had breakfast together.

During their meal, Nancy ate quietly and gracefully. Although she did not speak, her facial expression was calm and gentle under the warm sun.

His heart was tinged with delight as he watched her. For some reason, he felt they had to the past.

gone back

At that moment, he wished that things could stay like this in the days to come. However, that was just his wild wish. His dream abruptly shattered the moment he heard Nancy’s words.

After breakfast, she put down the tableware and then looked at him. “Thank you, Nicholas. Thank you for fulfilling your promise.”

He was puzzled as he did not understand what she meant at all.

Raising her lips, she reminded gently, “When I was in a coma last night, you said you’d let me go. and agree to the divorce when I woke up. You’re not regretting it, aren’t you?”
