Seven Days Seven Nights (Nicholas and Nancy) novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143 Nicholas, Do You Want To Know Who He Is? (1) 

“It’s nothing. It’s a little hot, so I’ll eat it later,” Nancy said. 

As she lowered her head, a sweet smile tugged at the corners of her lips. 

She remembered that during high school, couples at school often went out to eat together. As she had never been in a romantic relationship, she didn’t quite understand love in the beginning. 

However, she would frequently see young couples sharing a meal, whether it was a pizza or a plate of pasta. Sometimes, the guys would feed the girls, and the girls would light up like fireworks. Those couples were affectionate and sweet. 

Being young and innocent at that time, Nancy believed that love was as simple as sharing a meal. The couple would be willing to eat each other’s leftovers. 

She thought that being alone was happiness. As she grew older, she realized how naive and beautiful her thoughts were during that time. 

After she grew up, she finally understood how many complexities and calculations were involved in adult love. 

Nevertheless, she continued to believe that love should be beautiful and sweet stubbornly. 

Even though she had been hurt by love many times, she still held onto this belief. 

While she and Nicholas had long lost the chance to spend their lives together, at least for this moment, she felt that they were just like the young couples around them.. 

It was as if they weren’t adults, hadn’t been married, and hadn’t been divorced. 

They were like a pair of innocent and sweet high school students enjoying the sweetness of love to the fullest. 

This was all it took for Nancy to feel content. 

They both ate the large plate of spaghetti very slowly. 

Towards the end, the pasta was all gone, leaving only a bit of sauce. 

Nancy had already eaten her fill. 

She had just put down her fork when she saw Nicholas pick up a spoon and scoop up the remaining sauce from the plate. 

At that moment, Nancy was as shocked as she was surprised. 

To her, Nicholas didn’t seem like the kind of person who would have the leftover sauce after sharing a plate with someone. “Isn’t sharing a plate with me already difficult for him?” she thought. 

After a moment of surprise, she asked, “Are you still hungry? Should I order another portion for you?” 

“I’m full.” 

Nicholas quickly understood and explained, “I just felt that sharing a meal with you from the same plate is a beautiful feeling. In the future, we might not have this opportunity again, so I want to cherish it.” 

When they finished their meal and left the small restaurant, it was already dark, and the stars lit up sky. 

The clear weather made the stars blink like countless dazzling gems, creating a beautiful view.

Nancy said with nostalgia as they reached the school gate, “I really miss this place. I wish we could go inside.” 

“Give me a moment,” Nicholas commented. 

He then quickly left. 

He jogged towards the security office by the gate and seemed to have a conversation with the security guard. Moments later, he returned. 

As he was running for a bit, he breathed slightly faster when he told Nancy, “It’s done. We can go in.” 

“What?” 

Nancy was genuinely surprised and didn’t react for a moment. 

After a while, she gradually regained her senses and asked, “Did the security guard agree to let us in? I heard they have strict access controls here and don’t allow unrelated people inside.” 

In reality, Nancy had tried to enter the school many times, but she was always stopped at the gate. 

“We can go in now.” Nicholas then added, “But I might need to hold your hand to do it.” 

“Why?” 

“Because…” Nicholas paused. His deep, pleasant voice slowly sounded in the night. “I told them that my wife and I are alumni of this school. We met here ten years ago, and today is our wedding anniversary. My wife really misses this place and wants to visit for an hour. I assured them we’d leave within an hour. And I gave each of them a pack of cigarettes.” 

After hearing this, Nancy couldn’t help but exclaim, “Are you sure we should be lying about something 

like that?” 

“It’s not entirely a lie; there’s some truth to it,” Nicholas retorted. 

Her heart suddenly pounded. “Does he know that I first met him at this school?” she wondered. 

She lifted her head and asked in a voice that almost trembled, “You knew?” 

“Knew what?” Nicholas was puzzled. 

“I mean, did you remember when we first met?” Nancy tried to clarify halfway through, fearing she 

might not be expressing herself clearly. She changed her words in her nervousness. “Do you remember the first time we met?” 

“The first time?” He thought for a moment. “Wasn’t the first time we met when you came to the Sallow Residence with the bracelet to find Grandpa?” 

Nancy shook her head silently in the dark. It seemed Nicholas still didn’t remember. 

He had completely, utterly forgotten it. He didn’t remember anything about the time they first met. 

“And when did I ever forget anything?” Nicholas asked. 

Shaking her head, Nancy replied, “No. It was my mistake.” 

As they entered the school, Nicholas held Nancy’s hand. 

The night breeze was a bit chilly, and Nancy’s small hand was cold. But with Nicholas holding it in his large palm, it quickly warmed up. 

They continued holding hands until they entered. By then, Nancy’s hand was much warmer. 

“Where do you want to go?” Nicholas asked. 

“The sports field.” 

This time, she answered decisively and directly. It was because she first met him on the sports field.
