Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 169 Love Your Wife Dearly

Instead of finding a coffee shop to sit down, the duo stood beside the car.

Nicholas lit a cigarette and leaned against the car casually. Amidst the cloud of smoke, he said, “Go on.” Although his words were brief, his presence was intimidating. Others would surely have been. intimidated by his aura, but not Christian. He was not afraid of Nicholas.

“Nancy and I are just friends,” said Christian.

Hearing his words, Nicholas suddenly smiled. However, his smile was as cold as ice.

“As a man, do you think I’ll believe your words?”

Christian seemed to have expected his response and didn’t get angry. “You can doubt me all you want. After all, we are not friends. However, when it comes to Nancy, you shouldn’t doubt her. She’s your wife, and as her husband, your responsibility is to love and protect her.” Then, he paused for a moment. In that split second, his gaze turned sharp. “You shouldn’t have doubted or hurt her, Nicholas. Only an incompetent man would mistreat his own wife.”

Wife?

Nicholas was taken aback momentarily before realizing that Nancy seemed to have not told Christian about their divorce. At that moment, he suddenly felt fortunate about it. If it was possible, he wished that Christian would never find out about it.

“If that’s what you think it is, stay away from her. I don’t want to have a man constantly eyeing my wife. I know what you are thinking, Christian.”

“I will keep my distance from Nancy, but… Christian looked at him and sounded firm. “I’m doing it for her sake, not because of your threats or warnings, and certainly not because I’m afraid of you. If you love her, act like a man and love and protect her with all you have. If you don’t love her, it’s best to let her go. Don’t ruin her life.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t give you that chance,” Nicholas sneered.

“You better not.”

By the end of the conversation, it was clear that tensions were running high. In the end, the duo parted ways furiously. It was an outcome they had long foreseen.
