Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 156 Let’s Not Be Friends After The Divorce

Nancy’s mind raced as she couldn’t help but ponder, “Nicholas? Is it him? Wasn’t he in Swania? How did he return so quickly?” Stunned by this unexpected encounter, she had barely uttered a word when the door swung open, and Nicholas’ tall figure strode inside.

“Why didn’t you inform me and come back on your own?” His pitch-black eyes bore into her with a puzzled expression.

The directness of his question took her aback. After a moment, she gazed at him. She responded calmly, “If I’m not mistaken, we obtained our divorce certificate a few days ago. We are no longer married. I believe I have no obligation to report to you.”

Her words left him momentarily dumbfounded, his mouth agape, lost for words.

Nancy thought to herself, “That’s right, Nicholas. We’re divorced, remember? We don’t have any obligations to each other anymore.”

However, Nicholas quickly found his words. “You’re right; we are indeed divorced, but does that mean we can’t be friends?”

She couldn’t help but laugh. In her lifetime, she could be friends with anyone, but the idea of being friends with him was simply out of the question. It was often said that one couldn’t be friends with someone they truly loved. She had only come to understand this after the divorce. She looked at him and firmly stated, “No.”

Nicholas hadn’t anticipated such a response, and he found himself momentarily stunned, prompting him to inquire, “Why not?

“There’s no specific reason. I just believe that even post-divorce, it’s best for us to maintain our distance. Mr. Sallow, you and Linhabit different worlds. Yours is one of opulence and grandeur, while I lead a simple, ordinary life. I’m not an heiress, nor do I come from a wealthy family. I simply wish to live a modest life. If it weren’t for Grandpa, we might never have crossed paths in the first place. Now that he’s gone, it’s only fitting for us to return to our respective paths.”

Nicholas’ eyes darkened as Nancy mentioned Jacob, and he promptly responded, “You’re right. Despite our divorce, you are still the person entrusted to me by Grandpa. I should bear responsibility for you, shouldn’t I?”
