Because I Was an and He Threw Away 251

Chapter 251 Limited to Just One Man 

Tonight, after visiting Nancy in the hospital, Ethan was about to let Sophia stay with her. 

But a phone call from Rebecca changed everything. Since Sophia had school the next day, Ethan had to take her back to Joy Gardens. 

Left alone without Sophia’s company, Nancy couldn’t fall asleep. She pouted and asked Ethan to go out for a walk with her. How could Ethan refuse those pleading eyes? 

So, they headed to the lively Elysian Ancient Town. 

However, fate had other plans. In the middle of the bustling crowd, Ethan bumped into Emily. 

Just a couple of hours ago, they had a heated argument over Sophia. 

And now, out of the blue, Emily said Sophia had a fever. 

Ethan might be skeptical of Emily, but he trusted Rebecca’s words. 

After hanging up the call, he turned to Nancy with a gentle 1/7

look. “You take your time here. I’ll arrange someone to pick you up and send you back to the hospital later,” he said softly. 

Hearing his words, Nancy nodded. “Yeah,” she replied. 

Ethan seemed a bit worried and gave her a couple more glances. 

Nancy nodded, trying to be understanding. “Ethan, I’m fine. Sophie needs you more. Go take care of her. Call me when you can. I’m really worried about that little girl,” she replied, her voice full of concern. 

Emily couldn’t help but frown at Nancy’s words. It sounded a bit too much. 

While striding along, Ethan tossed a reply to Nancy. “Alright, I get it.” 

Once the words were out, he took off alongside Emily. 

Not long after, Alexander showed up at the ancient town. 

All he saw were the retreating backs of Ethan and Emily. Standing there, he felt a whirlwind of emotions inside him. 

Meanwhile, Nancy, who was standing near a small stall, spotted Alexander approaching. She quickly fixed her hair and adjusted her dress, trying to look her best. Then, she walked up 2/7

to him with a sweet smile. 

“Mr. Lessing, fancy taking a stroll with me?” she asked in a soft, inviting tone. 

Alexander looked at her, a bit surprised. “You’re talking to me, Ms. Thompson?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. 

Nancy nodded, her smile even wider. “Yeah, I am.” 

She was confident that with her charm, it wouldn’t be hard to get Alexander interested. 

Therefore, she showed great initiative and wasn’t afraid to take 

risks. 

But Alexander wasn’t so easily swayed. He gave her a calm look and said, “Well, Ms. Thompson, it’s not that I don’t want to. But you know, I need to ask my girl, and you should ask Ethan. If they’re okay with it, then I’ll be more than happy to walk with you.” 

Standing there in the middle of the crowd, Alexander was like a magnet. His tall figure and good looks attracted many glances from passers–by. 

And there he was, his eyes on Nancy, with a faint smile on his 

face.

Many girls around were envious of Nancy, who was standing so close to such a handsome man. 

This experience left Nancy brimming with a profound sense of fulfillment. 

She’d become the object of envy among countless girls, and it was only natural that a subtle air of superiority crept into her 

heart. 

Despite Alexander’s blatant rejection, Nancy remained 

steadfast in her disbelief. She was utterly convinced that she had the power to capture his attention. 

With a radiant smile that could light up a room, she playfully probed Alexander, “So, who’s the lucky lady that has Mr. Lessing wrapped around her finger?” 

The mere recollection of the wish Nancy had scrawled inside 

the wish–balloon made Alexander’s insides turn. 

He was utterly stunned by the sheer audacity that had 

compelled Nancy to pen such a wish. 

Alexander had once confided in Penelope that she ranked third on his list of least–favorite women. 

Regardless of his public persona, most women were 

immediately drawn to him like moths to a flame. His infectious 4/7

sense of humor, combined with his wealth and noble status, made him an irresistible catch. 

It was an anomaly for Alexander to harbor animosity towards a 

woman. 

That day, his words to Penelope were nothing but the unvarnished truth. 

The first woman Alexander disliked was Emma, who’d bullied Emily. 

The second was Nancy. Not only had she snatched Emily’s happiness, but she also didn’t fully claim Ethan for herself. 

When facing a woman he disliked, Alexander didn’t feel like putting on a smile. But thinking of Nancy’s wish, he suddenly came up with an idea. 

The higher a woman flew, the harder she’d fall. 

Alexander didn’t hold back. He told Nancy straight up, “My girl is Emily. I, Alexander, only listen to her.” 

Nancy’s smile froze for a moment. But after just a few seconds, she said casually, “Mr. Lessing, maybe you don’t know that Emily…”

mouth, Alexander interrupted, “Ms. Thompson, you’re really beautiful. I’ll admit, I’m a bit smitten. But you’re Ethan’s 

woman, so…” 

He didn’t finish his sentence, leaving it hanging in the air. 

Alexander had seen so many women that he knew exactly what a woman like Nancy wanted. 

She craved the attention of every man and the feeling of being adored by many. 

Since that was what she wanted, Alexander decided to give it to 

her. 

After he spoke, he watched Nancy’s reaction. 

When she heard Alexander say he was attracted to her, her face flushed instantly, and her heart started pounding. 

Ethan already treated her like a precious gem, but Nancy didn’t want to be limited to just one man’s affection. 

She had it in her mind that it’d be great if Alexander treated her well, but that wasn’t enough. She secretly yearned for the attentions of fellas like Aaron, Andrew, and even Shawn. To her, the more guys vying for her favor, the merrier. 

When Alexander laid his concerns bare without mincing 6/7

words, Nancy was quick to catch his drift. Yet, she kept her thoughts under wraps. Instead, she just dropped a line casually. “Mr. Lessing, who’s to say if Ethan and I will stand the test of time?” 

She clearly said that on purpose, like she was trying to toss a gauntlet between Alexander and Ethan, making them go head–to–head for her affection.
