Chapter 54
Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey
Chapter 54 Nicholas, I Miss You Nancy blushed immediately.
Even though they were in the underground garage, she dared not do it in public.
She bit her lip, looking like a kitten.
Nicholas gazed at Lynn and snorted softly.
Lynn understood immediately. He turned around and shouted to the bodyguards beside him, âTurn around quickly.â
Nancy felt more shy as she listened.
She hurried forward, tiptoed, and kissed Nicholas lightly on the face.
Then, she walked away quickly.
Nicholas was satisfied and smiled sincerely.
âCan we talk now?â Nancy asked with a blushing face.
Nicholas held her hand and got into the car. They sat side by side in the back.
Lynn drove in front until the car was driving smoothly on the road. Nicholas said, âI gave him money and warned him not to gamble again. Otherwise, his hand will be broken.â
After hearing this, Nancy was silent.
âAre you angry?â
Nancy shook her head and said, âNo, I just felt miserable.â
âSince I was a child, I have envied the loving and happy family because that is something I donât have. I never expected how much he loves me, nor how much money he will make for me to live a rich life. I hope he can be honest, hard-working, motivated, and earn money with his hard work. like other fathers.â
âEven if our life is a little bit harder and worse that we canât buy our favorite dolls or beautiful clothes, Iâm super happy and satisfied.â
âBut even such a small wish canât be realized.â
The more Nancy spoke, the lower her voice became.
These are the most unbearable pasts in her life and the pasts she can hardly tell.
1/4 When she grew up, she hid everything about her âfatherâ because she was afraid that others would find out that she had a father who was addicted to gambling and thus make wild guesses about her and her mother.
She kept these secrets all the time and never told anyone.
But now, she told Nicholas about this.
Not for sympathy, Nancy wants to talk about this because she trusts Nicholas.
âYou like dolls and beautiful clothes?â Nicholas asked.
Nancy nodded and answered, âOf course, every girl like those kinds of things.â
âI remember that on my tenth birthday, my mother gave me a huge and beautiful doll with blond hair, big eyes, and long eyelashes. I liked it very much, but then...
Nancyâs eyes dimmed obviously, and she said, âMy father was drunk and threw away my doll.â
âI remember it rained heavily that day. I was very sad when I heard it. I rushed out to look for it. I rummaged through the entire trash but couldnât find the doll.â
âWhat happened next?â
âLater...â Nancy raised her head, blinked hard, and continued, âLater, my mother said she would buy me another one that was the same, but I refused.
âWhy not?â
âBecause the doll was very expensive and cost over ten dollars. Felix was outraged when he found out and beat my mother in front of me.â
âI remember being very thin and not tall at that time. I cried desperately and threw myself at my mother, but he twisted me away with one hand and threw me to the ground. I hated him at that time. I always thought that when I grow up, I can take my mother away from him and bring my mother to live a happy life.â
âHowever, my mother didnât wait until that day, and I didnât fulfil my promise either.â
Nancy cried silently.
No one knows about this past except Linda..
It may be because Linda has the same experience as her, so they always gather together to keep warm when they are young.
Later, they all grew up. They have become glamorous, intellectual, and elegant.
6 2/4 But their childhood trauma will be remembered forever.
Those muddy and smelly days that almost drove people to a desperate situation were like a puddle of mud, disgusting and making people want to vomit.
Nancy would have almost forgotten about Felix if he hadnât appeared again.
But Felix is her father. No matter how much she hates him, how can she get rid of him?
âHow much does he owe?â Nancy thought of the critical point and asked Nicholas.
â250 thousand dollars.â
Nicholas did not hide this.
âWhat?â
Nancyâs eyes widened, and she could hardly believe what she heard.
In the past, he owed several hundred, and later thousands, tens of thousands.
She thought that no matter how enormous the amount was this time, it would probably just thousands of dollars.
But she didnât expect it to be almost 280 thousand dollars.
âYou just gave him such a large amount of money?â Nancy was surprised.
âItâs just a little money for me. I can afford it,â Nicholas replied easily.
Nancy looked at him and explained seriously, âNicholas, this is not just a matter of money. If you give him 280 thousand dollars today, he can ask for 700 thousand dollars next time, and then it will be 7 million dollars. I understand him very well.â
âYou will only make him more greedy. He will continue to take your money until it runs out.â
âNo, he canât just take that money. Iâm going to get it back.â
The more Nancy thought about it, the angrier she felt.
Nicholas grabbed her hand and comforted her patiently, âDonât worry, since I gave it, I must have my plan. I will not let him keep squeezing me.â
âAre you sure?â
Nancy was still worried.
âWell, donât worry.â
3/4 Hearing Nicholasâ reassurance, Nancy felt relieved.
But she still called Felix, âItâs me, Nancy. Donât think that you can do whatever you want just because you got the money today.â
âFelix, I warn you, this is the last time. Neither I nor Nicholas will give you any more money in the future, so do it yourself.â
The advantage of a big house is there are many bathrooms, which is very convenient.
After dinner, Nancy took a shower in the bathroom of their bedroom. Nicholas went to another. bathroom.
When she changed into her pajamas and went out, Nicholasâ phone rang.
His phone was charging right next to the bed and was turned on, so Nancy accidentally saw it.
When she saw his phone, her hand stopped wiping her hair immediately.
It was a message from Madelline.
âNicholas, would you like to meet me?â
âMy hand is inflamed. Itâs very serious. If you donât come, it will hurt me to death.â
âNicholas, I miss you so much.â
There are three text messages in a row, all directly on the phoneâs screen.
It was so clear that Nancy could see that clearly.
At this moment, Nicholas opened the bathroom door and came out.
Nancy hurriedly wiped her hair, pretending she didnât know anything.
When he walked to the bed and picked up his phone to check message, Nancyâs heart skipped a beat.
âWill he go to see Madelline?
âWill he go or refuse it?â
