Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 186 Sorrowful Parting

When Nancy entered the car, Nicholas was engrossed in his laptop.

He crossed his legs elegantly as he sat in the backseat. The top two buttons of his white shirt were undone, revealing his alluring collarbone.

From Nancy’s perspective, he looked stunning.

It was no wonder that people often said men were most attractive when they were focused on their work. It was undeniably true.

Nicholas was simply too handsome.

He was incredibly attractive.

She felt an overwhelming desire to kiss him.

With that longing burning inside her, she leaned in gently and cautiously.

Resting her chin on her hand, she tilted her head to admire his profile, appreciating his strong jawline that exuded masculinity and perfection, like a work of art.

Nicholas was a masterpiece; it would be a shame not to kiss him.

After a few moments of gazing, she shifted her attention to his bright, red lips.

Just as she was about to make her move, he turned to look at her. “Why were you so quiet when you came in? You didn’t even greet me.”

“I was pondering something important, she replied.

He chuckled softly and sensually. “How important is it that you’re keeping it a secret?”

“Oh, well. It’s…”

Midway through her sentence, she realized this was the perfect opportunity. So, she closed her eyes, gathered her courage, and leaned in with pursed lips.

However, instead of the expected warmth, her lips met a hand.

“This is what you were thinking about?” Nicholas laughed.

Nancy blushed bright red and pulled back in embarrassment, denying his accusation. “Nope. You’ve misunderstood me.”

“Fool, your actions gave you away,” he teased.

“What? How did you know what I was about to do?” she stubbornly retorted.
