Seven Days Seven Nights

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.
Unable to contain himself any longer, he asked, “I thought you’ve been in love with that crush of yours for ten years. Will you find
another boyfriend? Or will you go back to him?”
Nancy shook her head calmly. “I won’t go back to him.”
“Why? I thought you’ve been thinking about him all this time. It’s been ten years. Can you really let go?”
“He forgot about me a long time ago. There’s no need for me to seek him out. So what if I’ve loved him for ten years? When his
lover returned for one day, he cared more about her. I should forget about this. Time is a magical thing. It washes everything
away. Someday, I’ll forget about him too,” Nancy said firmly.
That answer brought a renewed sense of hope to Nicholas, and his heart started racing. She said she’ll forget about him. Does
that mean I have a chance?
Nancy closed her suitcase. “I’m finished packing. I have to go now. Take care of yourself.” She pulled her luggage away.
Nicholas held her hand. “It’s late. How are you going to her place alone?”
“I can take a taxi.”
“At this hour? I can’t let you go alone. I’ll be worried. Stay overnight. I’ll give you a ride tomorrow.”
