Chapter 172 - Ch. 172 I Will Hate You

Nick was surprised and confused, but at the same time, his heart tingled strangely when he thought that the mysterious girl that night turned out to be Lydia.

He has flirted with many girls, and almost all the women he approached accepted his seduction and even accepted his date invitation. But the only girl who rejected him even scolded him and treated him like a child was only Lydia.

He felt somewhat challenged and wanted to charm this girl. But he somehow got a pinch on the cheek or a fierce look from her every time Nick tried to make advances on her.

The girl even told him about her blind date in detail and how much she enjoyed the date in a proud tone. It was as if she wanted to let him know that she likes a more mature man rather than child-like Nick.

That night when Lydia came over to his house to put some make-up on his face so he wouldn't look too masculine, Nick ventured to peck her cheek.

Well, at that time, their extremely close position was perfect for taking advantage of that situation. How could he let go of the opportunity to flirt with her? But in the end, the girl didn't give the reaction he wanted, even though her expression of frustration was adorable.

Nevertheless, Nick felt indifferent when the mysterious girl kissed him even though he enjoyed it very much. If he had known the girl was Lydia, Nick wouldn't stay still that night!

Now that he knew it, he couldn't help but feeling this indescribable happy feeling.

One hand rose to touch Lydia's chin making the girl panic even more.

What did this young man do? Does this boy's flirtatious disease recur and want to molest her?

"Nick, I will report to your sister if you harass me."

"I harassed you? When?"

"What is this if not harassment? You're too close." too close for her comfort. Lydia tried to remove the boy's hand from her chin, but another of the boy's hands caught her hand.

"You don't mind when you do it that night."

"What night? What are you talking about?" Lydia cursed this boy for cornering her like this.

She felt she had made a mistake in letting this young man tell her to sit inner part. Even though she wanted to get to her feet to avoid this guy's flirtatiousness, she couldn't do it.

Behind her is a glass window. To her right is a dining table attached to the floor. And to her left is the wall of this room because they sit in the far corner.

Lydia was in a cage where there was only one way out. She had to push Nick's body out of this seat, and only then could she get out.

Thinking she could push Nick's body just a little taller than her, Lydia put her hands on Nick's chest and prepared to move the boy.

But her attempt failed miserably when Nick caught both of her hands and held back her strength. A mischievous smile that was able to captivate the ladies' heart was perfectly imprinted on the young man's face.

All women might be willing to let Nick do whatever he wants with their bodies, but Lydia won't let him have it so easy.

"Let me go now, or I…."

"Or you will what?" dared Nick as he brought his face closer to Lydia made the girl pressed her back against the glass window even more.

"I will hate you for the rest of my life."

"You can't hate me."

"Yes, I can. I won't be seeing Miss Kaylee and your sister either."

Nick's smile vanished when he heard Lydia's last threat. He also noticed that the girl's eyes were shining with anger and looked at him the same way she looked at Doctor Bennett.

Did this girl come to hate him now?

Nick pulled away without releasing his grip on Lydia's hands. The girl didn't pull away either, so Nick was still holding her. For some reason, he felt his heart full of feeling the soft skin of the hands who were experts in the field of make-up.

"So now you hate me?"

"You didn't do what would make me hate you. So I still don't hate you."

"I didn't expect you to hate someone so easily. Is this your true nature?"

"..." Lydia lowered her gaze, and that's when she saw Nick still grasped her hands.

She should have pulled away and released her hands from the boy's grip, but… why did she feel reluctant?

"Then why did you do it that night?"

Lydia exhaled in a tired sigh because she had no idea what this boy was talking about.

"What night? I have no idea which night you're talking about."

"Then, let me ask you one thing. Did you come to the music battle event at M campus?"

"Music battle?" Lydia dug through her memories and remembered the day Kaylee called her to give Nick a little makeover. "You mean… the day I came to your house to give you a little touch to look like Miss Kaylee in disguise."

"Yes. Did you come to campus M?"

"Of course not. After I finished with my work, I went back home. That day I received many calls because it coincided with someone's proposal event. So my client called me to dress her and her family. I've been working since morning, and you are my last client. I don't have the energy to go anywhere else."

"…" so it wasn't Lydia?

Nick looked Lydia straight in the eye to see if she was telling the truth or pretending to hide the truth.

Lydia looked genuinely confused by his attitude and had no idea what had happened that night of the music battle. It seems… that mysterious girl isn't Lydia?

"What happened that night? Why do you think you feel sure I came there? Is there anyone who looks like me?"

"..." Nick didn't know what to say and decided not to continue the conversation. "No, nothing. Nothing special anyway."

If it turns out that the girl isn't Lydia, he didn't need to think that girl furthermore.. He ignored a slightly disappointed feeling and decided to act normal. But why did he feel unwilling to let go of Lydia's hands?
