Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 49 Who Would Nicholas Choose?

Even though she knew that he didn’t choose her out of love, Nancy’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster and faster.

Thank you, Nicholas. Thank you for your decisiveness.

And thank you for not hesitating!

Possibly due to her pregnancy, Nancy kept dozing off occasionally on the way back.

With one arm extended, Nicholas pulled her head onto his chest and said, “If you’re tired, just

nap.”

“Okay.”

Nancy snuggled into his arms obediently and closed her eyes.

She might seem calm.

But only she knew that she had been panicked for a long time.

She wondered if she had made the right or wrong decision today.

She also wondered if he really could let go of Madelline.

But like she told Linda, she wanted to try this one last time for the sake of their baby.

“Oh, Nicholas. I’ve given you everything I have, and I hope you won’t let me lose the bet. In her heart, she said silently..

Nancy knew that Madelline definitely couldn’t sit still.

She guessed that Madelline would come up to her.

But she didn’t expect it to be that soon.

“Nancy, let’s meet up!” Madelline came straight to the point when she called her.

“If you’re trying to persuade me for a divorce, then there’s no need. Nicholas has clarified it to you, and I don’t need to repeat myself.

“You’re wrong. I meant nothing more than asking you out for tea.”

Madeline’s response did indeed come as a surprise to Nancy.

“I’m busy.” Nancy firmly declined.

“I’ll be at the same coffee shop as last time. If you don’t come, I’ll come to find you. You can decide.”

Nancy was speechless. She changed her clothes, then took a taxi to the coffee shop.
