Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 187 Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

Nicholas’ kiss was scorching.

Nancy felt as if she were being consumed by it.

Under normal circumstances, she would have been embarrassed and pulled away.

But now, she didn’t care about anything else.

All she knew was that she couldn’t bear to be apart from Nicholas. She didn’t want to be separated from the man who held her so tightly.

What should she do? She already missed him, even though he was still here.

No longer holding back, she wrapped her arms around him, desperate to merge their bodies. together.

It was as if that was the only way she could overcome her fear of losing him.

Strangely, Nancy had been feeling more emotional lately.

It felt like he would leave her the moment she let go of him.

As the kiss ended, tears streamed down her cheeks.

Nicholas only realized she was crying when he tasted the saltiness. She was crying so hard that she looked utterly miserable.

“Don’t cry,” he gently coaxed, releasing her to tenderly wipe away her tears.

“I won’t be gone for long. I promised I’ll be back as soon as I finish work. It won’t take long. We’ll go for hot pot once I’m back.”

“And my favorite desserts too. You’ll have to go on the merry-go-round and Ferris wheel with me as well.” The more Nancy spoke, the harder she cried.

He lowered his head to lovingly kiss away her tears.

“Okay,” Nicholas nodded affectionately. “Whatever you say, Nancy. Once I’m back, I’ll be by your side. We’ll do whatever you want.”

“Remember your promise. Don’t break it.”

Tears continued to roll down her cheeks as she truly didn’t want to see him leave.
