Chapter 576 "Let's Cross the Boundary Tonight"
"Today, I'll spare your lives. Remember, if you dare to bully the innocent again, the price will be far greater than this!" Nancy finally calmed down, ceasing her retaliation and warning the trembling inmates.
"Thank you for sparing us. We won't dare anymore, really, we won't!" The inmates thanked Nancy, bowing their heads.
Regardless, at least they had learned a lesson. They now understood that there will always be someone better than them and that they shouldn't easily bully anyone.
Nancy and Keith smoothly walked out of the detention center without leaving a trace of evidence behind, as if they had never been there.
’Give me your hand," Keith suddenly requested from Nancy.
’Hand?" Though she didn't understand his intention, Nancy, in a good mood, reached out her hand openly.
Keith's broad palm enveloped Nancy's delicate hand and gently massaged it, saying seriously, "You must be tired from all that fighting. Let me massage it for you."
Under the bright moonlight, his face was so flawlessly handsome, and his fondness for her was evident.
Nancy felt a bit dazed, sensing her heart starting to ripple for him once again. She quickly withdrew her hand.
’Don't do this... You've done enough tonight. If you continue, I'll misunderstand you again," she said earnestly, her expression somewhat helpless.
This man, with his perfect looks and demeanor, was like a knight, providing her with a sense of security and dignity. She wasn't made of stone; how could she not be moved? However, her past experiences taught her that being infatuated with Keith would only bring her trouble. She had to endure and resist!
‘Misunderstand what?" Keith’s eyes were like a loyal dog's, looking at the suddenly aloof woman with innocence.
"What do you think?" Nancy frowned and couldn't help but complain, "You're so charming. Don’t you know it? You keep tempting me, making me fall for you, and then you dismiss it with 'just friends.' Do you think it's fun to tease me like this?"
’Seems like you're falling for me again, huh?’ Keith inserted his hands into his pockets, wearing a playful and carefree smile.
Clearly, Nancy's response made him happy. He felt the thrill of playing cat and mouse.
After being out of touch for so long, they suddenly reconnected, and those previous feelings still lingered, intensifying even more. This meant that to her, he was still special and irreplaceable. Just that alone was enough!
’So what if I'm falling for you? Do you find it fulfilling to play with my emotions as a seasoned player with a novice like me? Isn't it boring?" Nancy didn't evade her feelings for Keith. She just didn't quite understand his mentality. Playing these ambiguous games with her repeatedly, was there any meaning to it?
‘Not boring at all. As long as it's you, it's never boring." Keith smiled, showing off his white and tidy teeth. His face was captivating, despite being a troublemaker.
Nancy was fuming and defeated by his words.
"You're not boring, but I am. I'm tired of dealing with you!" She didn't want to act like a fool, playing this ambiguous game with the playboy.
The only way to escape his manipulation was to stay away from him. Like during this period, focus on her career. Men were nothing but a bother. They didn't deserve to consume her emotions!
