Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 142 You Idiot, You’re The Ten-year Crush!

Nancy swiftly wiped away the tears from her face. “No, I was just reminiscing about some things from the past, and it suddenly made me a bit emotional. It’s nothing. I’m fine now,” she said, forcing a smile

to conceal her true emotions.

“Really? You’re not lying to me, are you? What made you so sad? Can you tell me?” Nicholas was naturally somewhat skeptical.

“Just some old stories that don’t need to be mentioned. By the way, didn’t we say we were going to have dinner? I only had a light lunch; I’m really hungry now.”

“Alright, then. Where do you want to eat?” Nicholas asked.

“The street outside Pinnacle High School,” Nancy replied without hesitation.

This location was something she had decided on earlier.

Originally, she had thought that if she ever returned with him, she would bring back beautiful. memories. But now, all she could think of was sadness and sorrow.

Well, it was still a good place to say goodbye.

Let it end where it all began.

At least, it was an amicable parting.

However, Nicholas was quite surprised. He curiously asked, “You seem to have a special fondness for Pinnacle High School.”

“Yeah?” Nancy smiled but didn’t explain.

The sky turned dark much later on summer nights. When the two arrived at Pinnacle High School, the sky was still bright, and they were just in time for the sunset.

A large expanse of fiery clouds appeared in the sky. Shades of orange, red, and deep red formed a beautiful painting. It was incredibly stunning.

The afterglow filled the entire sky.

Nancy looked up happily. The sun’s rays fell on her petite face, making her look even more gentle and beautiful.

“It’s so beautiful!”

A gentle breeze blew.

Everything was so perfect, but her heart felt as heavy as lead.

In the end, since everything began here, it had to end here as well.

“Nicholas, have you been back here since you graduated?” Nancy asked.
