Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 134 His One And Only Scenery

Just then, the elderly man operating the boat ride along the river docked his boat. Nancy quickly used this as a distraction by pointing at the boat and saying, “Look! The boat’s back. Let’s take a ride.”

“Okay,” Nicholas nodded.

As soon as they finished discussing it, they realized the boat was starting to move away.

“Hurry! We might not make it!” Nancy cried out.

“Follow me,” Nicholas said, and without hesitation, he grabbed Nancy’s hand and started running.

Nancy allowed him to pull her along as she tried her best to match his pace and catch up to the boat.

As they ran, a cool breeze drifted over, carrying the fresh fragrance of flowers. They both felt rejuvenated by the wind.

Nancy chuckled and beamed. “What a lovely floral fragrance. It’s light but pleasant.”

Nicholas turned his head around. His dark eyes fell on Nancy’s face.

The moment he laid eyes on her lovely face, he couldn’t look away. The faint smile that added to her beauty seemed like a work of art to him.

If he had a camera, he would’ve captured this moment forever.

Even without a camera, he would do his best to etch this picturesque sight into his memory.

They huffed as they ran.

Fortunately, they made it in time to get on the elderly man’s boat.

Once they had taken their seats, Nancy looked at the elderly man. She was smiling, and her eyes were bright as she said to him, “Thank goodness you stopped, or we wouldn’t have made it.”

The elderly man noticed their attire and responded with a smile, “Wouldn’t a young couple from the city like you prefer one of those tour boats? Why did you decide to ride my small boat instead?”

Nancy chuckled and explained, “I think a boat like yours adds to the experience. It’s more unique.”

The elderly man guffawed. “You sure know the right things to say, miss. Well, sit tight. I’m going to show you what’s special about a boat ride like this.”

“Okay. I’m looking forward to it!”

Instantly, the boat began to glide swiftly across the water.
