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

“Okay.”

Nancy snuggled into his arms obediently and closed her eyes.

She might seem calm.

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.
