She would accept either one finger or one hand.
“You’re leaving Emerald City?” Mick’s expression suddenly changed as he stared at Nancy.
“Yes, since I promised you that I won’t appear in front of you again, leaving Emerald City is the best solution,” Nancy replied. “Also, I have already resigned from the hotel here, so even if you go to the hotel again, you won’t see me. You… can rest assured.”
Mick looked at the person in front of him coldly.
She actually told him to rest assured!
But at the moment he heard her say she was leaving Emerald City, his heart suddenly tightened, as if it was being firmly grasped by an invisible hand, making him feel like he couldn’t breathe.
“Nancy, who allowed you to leave Emerald City?” Mick approached her and asked.
“If I continue to stay in Emerald City, maybe we will accidentally meet somewhere, and that will make you feel bad,” Nancy said softly.
He pursed his thin lips, feeling overwhelmed with annoyance.
“Do you regret it?” he suddenly asked.
“What?” She was confused.
“I’m asking if you regret using me. If you could do it all over again, would you still choose to use me?”
he asked.
She fell silent. If…if time could turn back, she might still make the same decision.
Because she couldn’t think of any other way.
She only regretted not falling in love with him from the beginning and deceiving him by saying she liked him.
If she had fallen in love with him from the beginning, she would have told him everything and asked him to help her seek justice.
Then there would have been no more hiding or deception between them from the beginning.
Was it because she fell in love with him too late, or he loved her too early?
Perhaps life is full of regrets.
He was someone she didn’t deserve, and now she didn’t want to deceive him anymore!
Seeing Nancy’s silence, Mick frowned. “What’s wrong? Is this question so difficult to answer?”
She bit her lower lip hard and after a while finally said, “It’s not difficult, I… would still make the same choice.”
He grabbed her collar tightly and asked, “The same choice, which means you don’t regret it at all?”
“I have no room for regret.” She looked up at him.
His handsome face was now filled with anger.
Since she had known him, he had always been good at concealing his emotions, and the most she could feel from him was perhaps his expressionless face.
But now, his expression was so vivid.
It was as if all the veils that had once shrouded his face had been torn off, with no more concealment.
“What do you mean by no room for regret?” He glared at her.
“You are not me. You were born as the high and mighty Reed family’s young master, and no one dared to disrespect you or bully you. You could easily distinguish right from wrong.” She murmured, with a painful look in her almond eyes.
“But I am different!” Nancy took a deep breath and continued, “I saw my mother fall off the building with my own eyes. I wanted to seek justice for her, but the police didn’t believe me. The Schultz family’s servants testified for Clarissa, proving that my mother fell off the building by herself and had nothing to do with Clarissa.”
“In front of the wealthy and powerful Schultz family, I had no way to do anything for my mother.””
“I don’t know how to describe the feeling of powerlessness and guilt. As long as I can seek justice for my mother, I can sacrifice everything, even if it means becoming despicable and shameless.”
She told him everything she thought, because she didn’t want to deceive him.
Her despicableness, her darkness, her wickedness… she told him everything!
“So as long as I can seek justice for your mother, you don’t mind using me, pretending to love me, or even having sex with me, right?” Mick said coldly.
“Yes,” she said, “so you can take revenge on me however you want, I’m willing to bear it.”
Because she owed him!
He stared at her, his gaze becoming increasingly dark and his previously excited emotions turning into his usual expressionless state.
At this moment, there was no emotion to be seen on his face.
“Then… have sex with me,” he said.
Nancy suddenly froze, staring wide-eyed, unable to believe what she had just heard.
“Since you admit that having sex with me doesn’t matter, then let’s do it,” he said. “Didn’t you prepare yourself mentally to have sex with me when you went to the hotel with me?”
Nancy’s face gradually turned pale.
When she went to the hotel with him, she really intended to use her body to get closer to him.
But she had prepared herself mentally for everything, and he didn’t touch her. Instead, he took care of her all night because she had gotten drunk to boost her courage.
He was a gentleman!
He didn’t even bother to take advantage of a woman’s body.
Besides, with his family background, it was too easy for him to get a woman!
“Aren’t you supposed to hate me? Why do you still want to…”
Nancy asked hesitantly.
Why did he still have sex with her? Because he was extremely disgusted with her.
Touching the body of someone you despise…that can’t possibly be a pleasant feeling.
“That’s not for you to ask,” Mick said coldly. “Just tell me, do you want to or not?”
“Okay,” Nancy said. “If that’s what you want…”
If he intended to use sex as punishment for her, then she was willing to accept it.
“Then strip!”
That emotionless voice echoed in the air.
Nancy raised her hand and unbuttoned her clothes.
At the same time, she was mentally preparing herself to be treated roughly by him.
Perhaps he wanted to use her body to vent his anger towards her, even if it left her bruised and battered, she wouldn’t complain.
But to her surprise, he was gentle.
After she removed her clothes, he kissed her gently and caressed her body with his fingers.
All of his movements were so considerate, as if he wanted her to have a good experience.
Some of his actions even gave her the illusion that they were still in the best period of their relationship, and he treated her like a precious treasure.
But when she made eye contact with him, she knew that it was all just her own illusion.
His gaze was like a bottomless abyss, so cold that everything seemed like a mere innocent action without any other meaning attached to it.
She felt her heart sinking continuously at this moment.
Even though her body was getting hotter and hotter due to the affectionate relationship.
But her heart was filled with a sense of sadness.
Clearly, this man was the one she loved, and his actions were so gentle at this moment.
But…he no longer had any feelings for her, right?
What did this lovemaking mean to him?
Nancy didn’t know when it ended, nor how many times he had taken her.
She passed out halfway through.
When she woke up again, it was already the next morning.
As soon as Nancy moved her body, she felt like she was falling apart.
She was wearing a robe, and her body under the robe was dry.
Did Mick help her clean up?
Where was Mick?
Nancy looked around the room but didn’t see Mick.
The sound of water came from the direction of the bathroom.
Is he in the bathroom?
As she thought about it, Nancy struggled to stand up and tried to pick up the clothes she wore yesterday from the floor.
But as soon as her feet touched the ground, she almost fell.
After finally stabilizing herself, Nancy took a deep breath.
With this movement, every bone in her body seemed to be groaning, silently telling her what had happened last night.
After a while, she finally picked up the scattered clothes on the ground and was about to change when the bathroom door opened.
Mick walked out of the bathroom.
He was wearing a bathrobe, his hair wet, and when he saw Nancy about to change clothes, his eyes darkened. He walked straight up to her and said, “Wait a minute, take the pill before you leave.”
