Chapter 17 Mrs Sallow Was Pregnant
“I told her, Nicholas admitted decisively.
Nancy smiled bitterly. Even though she had already guessed it, she wanted to hear him say it.
“So, who’s the one in such a hurry? I promised to discuss the divorce with Grandpa after his birthday. Of course, I’ll get back our marriage certificate. You don’t need to remind me like this.”
“I won’t forget,” Nicholas reassured her.
After Nancy finished speaking, her eyes turned red.
She felt incredibly uneasy. It was a discomforting feeling.
He could have asked her straightforwardly to retrieve the documents if he wanted to.
Why is there a need to use Madelline as an intermediary?
Nicholas looked at her with a hint of guilt. Although he didn’t bring up this matter, he still indirectly caused it.
Yesterday, after Madelline woke up, she cried in his arms, saying she was petrified that she would die and never seeing him again.
So she proposed getting a marriage certificate first and wait until everyone in his family accepted their relationship before having the wedding ceremony.
“Madelline, getting the marriage certificate might be postponed.”
“Why? Nicholas, do you know how scared I was when I was in a coma after the car accident? I was afraid I would die and never become your bride.”
“Grandpa keeps the marriage certificate of Nancy and me. We need to get those documents to proceed with the divorce and the wedding.”
Nicholas accidentally revealed the information.
Unexpectedly, she remembered it and used it to request Nancy.
During the rest of the journey, Nancy remained silent. She leaned against the window, quietly watching the passing scenery outside.
The old house of the Sallows was far from the bustling city. It was among the mountains and rivers with beautiful scenery.
It resembled the mountain behind her childhood home in her village.

Time flies so fast. Ten years have passed in a flash.
She has been gone from there, stayed in the Sallows, and loved him for ten years.
Ten years, the most beautiful and youthful time for a woman, she gave all her love at first sight, all her heartbeats, all her secret crushes to the same man.
And now?
