Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 21 Nancy Fell Into The Swimming Pool

“Yeah, it’s quite urgent,” Nicholas said..

Nancy tightened her grip on her hand, and it seemed there was no need to continue speaking.

“Madelline had a check-up today, and her condition isn’t looking good. Her emotions…”

Nancy immediately tilted her head and said coldly, “Fine, then go quickly!”

She wanted to avoid hearing a word of the reasons.

Why explain when he has already chosen?

After Nicholas left, Nancy was helping to greet family and friends as a regular member of the Sallows.

Because of her pregnancy, Nancy felt tired after standing for a while.

Her feet hurt a little to stand on.

She was wearing a new pair of shoes today, but they were unexpectedly causing blisters.

Nancy took a momentary break, seating herself in a nearby chair to apply a band-aid to her heel to relieve the pain and discomfort caused by blisters.

As soon as she sat down, she heard a sharp and mocking voice in her ear.

Nancy vaguely remembered the girl who was speaking. She seemed to be Nicholas’ distant. cousin, but Nancy couldn’t recall her name.

“I don’t think so. Jacob would never arrange such a terrible woman for Nicholas. She’s not coming out because she’s too embarrassed. I heard her family is in an inferior condition. Her mom is at nurse, and her dad is a gambler. If it weren’t for her mom saving Grandfather’s life, with her background, she could never match up to the Sallows.”

“Children from small and humble families are just pitiful. They look poor and shabby, not to mention their unimpressive appearance. That’s why Nicholas hasn’t brought her out. He’s afraid of becoming a laughingstock.”

The two young girls stood to the side, discussing and ridiculing Nancy as if no one was listening
