Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 167 Consumed By Jealousy

This was a text that Nancy didn’t dare to reply to, and she didn’t dare to ask him for the reason either, afraid that she would receive the answer that had been repeated so many times before.

Moreover, men kissed for various reasons-pity, impulse, and desire. She no longer dared to hope for anything or harbor any unrealistic dreams.

That night, both of them went to bed very late. The next day, when Nancy walked out of her room, she found Nicholas awake and busy in the kitchen.

As a delicious smell wafted out of the kitchen, the doorbell suddenly rang, and she went to answer it.

Looking at the breakfast in his hands, Nancy was touched and quickly stopped him. “Wait… If I’m right, you haven’t had breakfast either. Since we’re friends, let’s have breakfast together.”
