Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 203 Crazed With Jealousy

Nicholas lifted his head, feeling a tightness in his chest and a sharp pain squeezing at him. It was as if something was about to burst out of him. In the past, he had heard of people losing sleep and appetite over relationship troubles, but he had thought they were exaggerating. It didn’t seem necessary. Now, experiencing it himself, he realized just how tormenting and unbearable it was.

When Nicholas closed his eyes, his mind was flooded with visions of Nancy. He saw her smiles, her adorable self, her fits of anger, and even the cuteness of her drunken state. She was all he could see. “Why can’t you care, Nancy?” The more he thought about it, the more his heart throbbed with pain.

He recalled the scene when they had confessed their feelings. Nancy had only said she liked him. “Is that enough? Isn’t there another man in her heart, one she has loved for ten years? Who is he?” Nicholas desperately wanted to know who this man was. He wanted to take a knife and cut him out of Nancy’s heart. He would do anything, even if it meant sacrificing his own heart.

“Nancy…” Nicholas muttered her name, his heart aching even more. He couldn’t forget the day they went to Pinnacle High School, the day they got a divorce. She sat on the field and told him about her obsession and infatuation. Her smile was full of love and joy. It was a shy, youthful love that was beyond words. It had been so real and perfect, but it had nothing to do with him. Those feelings belonged to another man. It was only now that Nicholas realized just how jealous he was. He was crazed with jealousy.

There were so many stories between Nancy and that man. But now, as Nicholas thought about it, it seemed like he hadn’t done anything to leave a memorable impression on Nancy. “How much of a failure are you, Nicholas Sallow? You brought this upon

Therefore, when something like this happened, she couldn’t be like other women who could confidently interrogate him. “Nicholas, you have a girlfriend, so why are you with another woman? Do you have any respect for your girlfriend?” Nancy couldn’t express her feelings or start a fight with him. All she could do was curl up into a ball and hug herself, quietly licking her own wounds. She had to calm herself down and

She kept squeezing herself tighter. “If only you were here with me, Mom. Mom, tell me what I should do.” She had no way of gathering 140 thousand. How could she stand by and watch as her

descended from the sky. Dressed in white, Eunice looked like an angel as she landed beside Nancy. Eunice gently stroked Nancy and hummed Nancy’s favorite lullaby as she comforted her. “Nancy, my darling, I’ll be looking out for you from above. Don’t be sad, and don’t be scared. When it comes to love, have a little more courage. Failure doesn’t mean anything. You can always start again.” Thanks to Eunice’s lullaby, Nancy slept soundly. Even though she only got a few hours of sleep, she

encouraged herself. “Don’t be scared, Nancy. You can do it. Mom’s right. You need to be braver. You’re his girlfriend now. Don’t back down, and don’t worry. You have every reason to question him about that woman from last night. You can do it!” Nancy looked at herself in the mirror and cheered herself on. When she was ready, she was just about to make the call when her doorbell rang. It kept ringing incessantly, the noise becoming overwhelming. Nancy had no choice but to put her phone down and open
