Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

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.

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

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?”
