Judson nodded, then shook his head, his deep voice revealing a hint of vulnerability. “Of course, I’m thrilled for your success. I’m just scared that as you shine brighter, you might stop liking me.”
Nancy stood there, momentarily speechless.
“But I can’t be selfish either,” Judson continued, his expression clouded with a mix of pride and fear. “Nancy deserves to be in the spotlight!”
“Nancy, would you ever leave me behind?” he asked, his dark eyes filled with sincerity.
Nancy found herself caught in his gaze, her heart inexplicably beginning to pound harder. She wasn’t entirely sure why.
She shifted her eyes away instinctively. “No, Judson, I’m just waiting for you to remember everything.”
She hoped that once Judson regained his memory, they could go back to being strangers, as they were meant to be. Yet, the thought of them becoming distant stirred an unexplainable unease within her.
Before Nancy could process these feelings, she was suddenly enveloped in a warm embrace.
Judson held her tightly, his voice thick with emotion. “Nancy, you’re so wonderful. I promise I’ll cherish all our loving memories.”
Caught off guard, Nancy squirmed slightly. “Let go, Judson.”

“Power couple alert! The Sandro Group is so dashing, and Nancy is stunning. Can we get a room for them already?”
“Oh my gosh, the way Mr. Sandro looks at Nancy is just so tender. I’m all for this match!”
Judson’s smile was tight, almost menacing. “A room? Supporting their match? Ha!”

Even Lenard could sense the tension, shivering slightly. “Nancy, you don’t think Judson might actually The Sandro Group, do you?”
Nancy shot Lenard a warning look. “Don’t be ridiculous.”
“I’m serious! I’m ready to face off with Baldrick!” Judson gritted his teeth, clearly on edge. “Nancy’s mine, not
his!”
Nancy, seeing Judson’s genuine distress, frowned. “Judson, stop with this nonsense. I don’t like it.”

Nancy sighed internally. Had she ever been?
But the sight of Judson’s misty eyes softened her. “Those stories are fake. Don’t pay them any mind.”
Judson pulled her closer, his voice breaking with emotion. “I can’t, Nancy, I just can’t… Tears began to spill down his cheeks.
