Seven Days Seven Nights (Nicholas and Nancy) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 What If I Tell You That It’s You 

Nicholas came to a sudden stop, freezing in his tracks. He clenched his fists, desperately trying to hold back his sadness and despair. 

Nancy caught up to him and was about to speak, but Nicholas abruptly turned around and looked at her sharply. He emphasized each word, “I. Don’t. Want. To. Know.” He had no desire to know at all. Why did I stay just to hear her love story with another man? Am I stupid? 

Nancy’s face turned pale as a sheet. Summoning her courage, she wanted to tell him that the man she was talking about was Nicholas himself. However, all she received was rejection. She bit her lip and forced herself to speak again. “You really don’t want to know? What if I tell you that it’s…” you. 

Before she could finish her sentence, Nicholas extended his hand and covered her lips. His next words were ice-cold and heartless. “I told you, I don’t want to hear it.” Almost furious, he roared, “I don’t want to know who you’re in love with. I don’t want to! Don’t tell me!” 

A bitter and forlorn smile appeared on Nancy’s lips. Yes. He doesn’t want to hear about it. He doesn’t even want to know. Why should I rush to tell him? Nancy, he doesn’t care about you. Why are you doing this? 

This time, she had gathered all her courage to tell him. After this, she wouldn’t have the strength to speak up anymore. Being humiliated once was enough. She wouldn’t allow herself to be humiliated any further. “Fine, I won’t say anything,” Nancy said.. 

Nicholas’ eyes darkened, and he let go of her. The last glimmer of light vanished from Nancy’s eyes. They were now empty. 

“I’ll take you home,” Nicholas said. 

Nancy smiled bitterly. Home? The moment we got divorced, I lost my home. 

They got into the car, but the atmosphere was exceptionally quiet throughout the journey. Only the sound of music filled the air. No one spoke. 

Nicholas only broke the silence when they arrived at the house. “We’re here.” 

“I see.” She got out of the car. While Nicholas parked, Nancy went inside. Without waiting, she went straight to the second floor and began packing her belongings. She didn’t have many possessions-just some documents, clothes, and makeup. She sorted through them, so it didn’t take long for her to finish packing. 

When Nicholas entered the room, she was halfway done. He paused for a moment, feeling a bitter pang inside. It was then that he realized he had overlooked something important. They were divorced. Naturally, they couldn’t continue living together. 

She was leaving this place. She wouldn’t be here anymore. 

The thought made him feel suffocated, as if a rope was tightening around his neck. He couldn’t hold back any longer. He reached out and grabbed her arm. “Stop.” 

Nancy turned around, looking at him with confusion. 

“You don’t have any family here besides Hugo. You haven’t found a place or a job. Stay here. You can move out once you’ve sorted everything out. You must be accustomed to this place. Stay. I’ll move to another room. I won’t disturb you.” 

Nancy explained, “Thanks, but don’t worry about me. I’ve found a job. Once Evelyn comes back, I can start working. Linda has a place near the hospital. I can move in with her.” 

Nicholas didn’t expect her to have everything planned already. He paused for a moment before asking, “You’re going to stay at Linda’s place? Won’t that be inconvenient?” 

“I would be worried if it were someone else, but Linda and I have been friends for over twenty years. We grew up together. She won’t mind.” 

Nicholas cleared his throat. “That’s not what I meant. I mean, she’s dating Luke. If you move in with her, it might complicate their relationship.” He was trying to persuade Nancy to stay. 

Nancy nodded. “You’re right. It’s just a temporary arrangement. While she’s filming her show, I’ll stay there for a while and move out once I find a new place.” 

Nicholas decided to get straight to the point. “You can still stay here. I don’t mind.”. 

Nancy shook her head. “It’s alright. We’re divorced. Living together wouldn’t be good for either of us. Besides, you’re a special person. I don’t want to be the center of attention, and…” 

Nancy paused for a moment before continuing, “We’re both single. If you find a girlfriend someday or if I find a partner, it’ll be difficult for both of us. Since we’re divorced, we might as well make a clean. break.” 

Only then can I let go of my love. Only then can I bid my final farewell. 

“A partner?” She said she’s single. She said she’ll find a partner someday. The thought frustrated Nicholas, and his heart grew heavy once again. Why didn’t I consider that? Once she’s single, with her brilliance, she’ll have countless suitors. The idea of her having a boyfriend and belonging to someone else in the future filled Nicholas with jealousy.
