Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 108 You’re Not Allowed to Go, Nicholas

“I’ll be right there,” Nicholas said, his gaze turning cold as he ended the call.

Nancy mustered the courage to rush forward, blocking his path with outstretched arms.

What are you doing, Nancy?”

“You’re not allowed to go,” she declared, her eyes filled with stubborn resolve.

Nicholas expression grew even colder. His voice turned sharp and steely. “Get out of the way.”

“I said you’re not allowed to go.” Nancy repeated. She continued, “You’re my husband, Nicholas. We’re married, and I refuse to let you abandon me to see that homewrecker who’s destroying our marriage.” She used the term ‘homewrecker’ without hesitation, something she’d never done. before, even in the heat of her anger. However, she let her emotions flow freely this time, caring little about holding back.

When did you start speaking so harshly, Nancy?”

She smiled and said, “I’ve always been sharp. I’m like a porcupine covered in quills. Didn’t you know that, Mr. Sallow?”

She had never been one to conform to societal norms. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have survived her challenging upbringing. All her previous meekness and compliance were a testament to her love

for him.

What about him? He took her for granted. She had shed her quills for him, exposing only her soft body and tender heart. In return, he provided no protection, no armor-just one storm after another, each more piercing than the last, each a mortal blow. She had never been one to make a scene, but this time, she was determined to fight for him.

“I always thought you were a kind, gentle, and mature young woman, Nancy. I hope you won’t change my impression of you.”
