Chapter 136 Insisting On Divorce, How Can He Win Her Back?

The two were caught off guard, freezing in their tracks.

With each passing moment, their breath grew hotter, and Nancy’s face turned even redder.

She confessed that she still loved him. It was evident on this quiet night, with the two of them so close together. Her heart couldn’t help but beat faster, almost going crazy.

Nicholas’ face also flushed, but unlike Nancy, his was due to restraint. He fought back his desires, causing his face to flush.

So close… Should I kiss her or not?

In truth, he had been struggling mentally all along.

If he kissed her, he felt like he would be imposing himself without waiting for her consent, and she would surely feel wronged and unwilling. However, if he didn’t, this might be his last chance. Moreover, he couldn’t control himself any longer.

In the end, bodily instincts overcame all reason. The moment his lips pressed down, the only thought in Nicholas’ mind was, To hell with the reasons. I just want to kiss her now. Because he really, really wanted. to kiss her. However, just as his lips were about to touch hers, Nancy suddenly turned her head.

His lips lightly brushed her cheek, and in the end, the kiss was in vain.

Nancy clenched her fists and said in a cold tone, “Nicholas, please have some self-respect! We’re about to get divorced, so you shouldn’t treat me this way.”

She paused, suppressing the bitterness and sorrow in her heart. “Furthermore, I am not your plaything to be used as you please. If that’s what you want, I’m sorry, but I can’t comply.”

Nicholas froze, feeling utmost discomfort in his heart. The discomfort rushed over him like a rising tide, almost overwhelming him. It was too painful, excruciatingly so. He was infatuated and unable to control his emotions, yet Nancy thought otherwise.

His heart ached terribly, as if each breath was a stab through his heart.

Nicholas’ gaze dimmed rapidly. He wished he could express his feelings to her. No, Nancy, you’re not just a passing fancy. How can you be? I’m infatuated, and my heart beats for you.

Would she believe him? Probably not.

But could he blame her? Nicholas knew all too well that he was the scoundrel, the one in the wrong.

How many of security?

times had he hurt her, and how deeply, to make her feel this way, to strip her of any sense

I’m sorry, Nancy. Nicholas repeated this in his mind over and over, but no matter how many times he said it, he couldn’t make up for his wrongdoing.

I’m sorry!” Finally, he left behind those words and fled like a deserter, almost in desperation

A while after he left, Nancy received a call from Linda.

“Nancy, sweetheart, how are you? I know you’re feeling terrible. Wait for me: I’ll be back soon.”

A strong sense of bitterness and injustice immediately welled up in Nancy’s heart when she heard Linda’s voice. Her eyes turned red, and she couldn’t help but shed tears. “Linda, I feel so miserable.”

“I know you’re suffering, but wait for me. I’ll help you get justice, and as for Madelline, I’ll make sure she gets what she deserves.”

A thought quickly struck Nancy at the mention of Madelline. “She has already been sent abroad by Nicholas, so you probably won’t be able to see her.”

“Has he really sent her away? Did he do it personally?” Linda was somewhat surprised.

“She’s most probably been sent away, but not by him personally. He instructed Lynn to do it.”

“I don’t believe it. Madelline is a scheming woman. If I don’t see her board a plane and leave the country with my own eyes, I won’t believe it,” Linda muttered.

Nancy didn’t think much about this particular point.

Afterwards, the two best friends talked about many things.

Nancy had already informed Linda about the miscarriage through WhatsApp. Worried about upsetting her, Linda was particularly cautious when speaking, fearing it might trigger Nancy’s sadness and

sorrow.

Nancy shared the story of her visit with Nicholas to his grandparents’ former residence and told Linda. some of the stories she had learned.

On the other end of the line, Linda also expressed her admiration. “What a loving couple! It’s truly enviable and heartbreaking. As for Nicholas, despite being his grandfather’s direct descendant, he didn’t inherit even a fraction of his grandfather’s qualities!”

At the mention of Nicholas, Nancy fell silent.

“Nancy… Nancy?” Linda thought the call had been disconnected and called out several times.

Just as she was about to hang up and redial, Nancy’s voice slowly came through the phone. “Linda. Nicholas and I are getting a divorce.”

This time, it was Linda’s turn to be silent. She was certain she had heard clearly. Nancy didn’t say wanted a divorce or was preparing for one.

She said they were getting a divorce. Does this mean she has already made the decision?

Linda was dumbfounded for a few moments, and then she slowly asked, “Nancy, have you made up

your mind?”

Listening to her friend’s solemn tone. Nancy pretended to be nonchalant. “Why so serious? Why be sad? The divorce rate is so high these days that it’s become quite normal. After these two years. I finally na waarde without love aren’t meant to be together. Even if they force themselves to

be together, it’s destined not to go far. They’ll split up sooner or later. Since the end result is it doesn’t seem to matter whether it’s sooner or later. I remember you used to complain about Nicholas a lot, hoping that I’d get far away from him!” Nancy deliberately said with a smile.

Linda quickly responded, “Complaining is one thing, but I only did it to vent. I wanted him to treat you better. It’s not like I wanted you to leave. I just wished someone would treat you better, care for you, love you, and protect you. Nancy, have you thought it through? Are you really sure about this?”

Nancy tightly gripped her phone and nodded with conviction. “Yes, I’ve thought it through. I’m very

certain.”

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, by this time tomorrow, they would have completed their divorce proceedings after obtaining the necessary documents. They would no longer be husband and wife and would become complete strangers.

“Since you’ve made your decision, I’ll wholeheartedly support you. Nancy, no matter what decision you make, I’ll be behind you, giving you strength. I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay.”

After ending the call, Nancy struggled to maintain her composure. However, she couldn’t hide the glistening tears in her eyes. Time flies by so quickly. We’ve been married for two years, but tomorrow we will become complete strangers. Oh, how unpredictable life can be.

Outside the door, Nicholas had been waiting for a while. He had been there when Nancy and Linda were on the phone, but he never entered, refraining from interrupting them. Thus, he listened attentively throughout their conversation.

He chain-smoked, one cigarette after another. Nicholas couldn’t recall how many he had already smoked, and his fingers were starting to ache.

She has made up her mind and wants a divorce. What should I do? How can I possibly hold onto her?

When Nicholas raised his gaze, his eyes mirrored Nancy’s, filled with tears.
