Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 97 Nicholas Knew the Truth

Or she might be hiding under the blanket like before, trembling with fear, unable to sleep peacefully all night.

Realizing the situation, he felt increasingly regretful.

He shouldn’t have left in anger and leaving her alone in the room.

But he was a man with his pride.

Since he had already gone out and left in anger, how could he

back?

At the very least, she would have to hold back a bit and not leave things unresolved.

He consoled himself, thinking that as long as Nancy showed signs of wanting him to stay or came to find him, he would put aside his previous anger and return immediately.

But as he waited, minutes turned into several minutes, and the stairwell remained silent.

Could it be that she had already fallen asleep?

Nicholas couldn’t sit still, and with long strides, he quietly ascended to the second floor.

The couple’s new second-floor bedroom was tightly closed, showing no signs of any activity.

Nicholas’ heart turned considerably colder at that moment.

In the end, he had overthought it. She probably watched him leave without moving, even getting out of bed, and without opening the door, let alone looking for him.

The one who held onto obsession was him alone.

With a bitter smile, Nicholas left the second floor.

Since she didn’t need him, he did not need to bug her.

He changed into fresh clothes and headed to the garage to start a car.

In the rain, he drove the car down the deserted road and made a phone call.

“Are you asleep? Let’s have a drink!”

Luke looked at the time and gritted his teeth as he replied, “Nicholas, it’s 2 AM. I’m sleeping!”

“Aren’t you always pulling all-nighters?”
