Chapter 19

Chapter 19 Nicholas’ Possessiveness Nancy almost thought she had misheard. Why would he throw her pajamas without any reason?

“You did this?” Nancy told herself not to get angry, so she tried to suppress her anger and asked patiently.

“Yes.”

His response was incredibly calm.

“Nicholas... This time, Nancy finally got angry. She stood with her hands on her hips, looking like an enraged kitten, and said infuriatingly, “You must explain why you threw away my pajamas.”

“Those styles are from several years ago and look quite childish.”

“How are they childish?”

Nancy was annoyed. Her pajamas were adorable, but why did he consider them childish?

“One of them is Doraemon, another is Pikachu, and there’s also a little bunny. Nancy, don’t forget, you bought these pajamas when you were still a teenager. But now...

“Now what?”

“Now you’re already married. You’re a young wife.

Ahem... After saying that, Nicholas deliberately coughed a couple of times and then continued to read his book as if nothing had happened.

Nancy’s face turned as red as a monkey’s butt. She felt that the word “young wife” was quite ambiguous.

With no other choice, she returned to the bathroom to shower.

After bathing, Nancy put on the lace pajamas, got into the quilt, and quickly wrapped herself tightly.

Just as she relaxed, suddenly, Nicholas put down his book and leaned over, saying, “Do you think I can’t see you if you dash?”

Nancy was speechless.

She now strongly suspected that Nicholas was doing this on purpose. He knew she was shy, yet he teased her like this.

1/5 Her face was already blushing when she came out of the shower.

Now, it was even redder.

She almost teared up.

“You know how to make fun of me.” Nancy pulled off the quilt and covered her whole head.

Nicholas reached out and pulled her out from under the blanket. Nancy was panting, and her face was even redder due to the warmth under the blanket.

“Why do you always love to get under the quilt?”

“Is the air inside so refreshing?”

Nancy glared at him, wondering about his strange thoughts.

“I didn’t. Who told you to keep on teasing me for nothing.”

“Who says I’m teasing you?” Nicholas’ body moved closer. His warm and moist breath brushed against Nancy’s face. “Nancy, don’t forget, we haven’t divorced yet.”

“I don’t.”

“So, for now, we are still married. What if I want you to fulfill your marital duties?”

This statement was genuinely ambiguous.

Nancy suddenly sat up and pushed him away. “Are you trying to get back at me? Because I ruined your intimacy with Madelline during the day, so you’re teasing me on purpose to see me embarrassed?”

Nicholas’ dark eyes gradually calmed down. He reached out and ruffled Nancy’s hair, his deep voice whispering in her ear.

“That’s not what I meant. I want to tell you that you need to protect yourself.”

“Especially when it comes to men. You must keep your guard up.”

Nancy looked at him and said, “You are also a man, so does that include you?”

“Yes, it includes me.” Nicholas nodded seriously.

No one knew how impulsive he was when he saw Nancy and how restrained he was to control himself.

After Nancy fell asleep, Nicholas lifted the blanket and went to the balcony 2/5 The night was deep, with stars scattered in the sky.

He lit a cigarette, smoked silently and frowned deeply.

Two years were neither long nor short.

But he couldn’t deceive himself. His state of mind had indeed undergone a significant change.

At the beginning of their marriage, he looked forward to the end of the three years and getting the divorce certificate as soon as possible. However, at some point, he began to feel a little unwilling.

She was beautiful, highly educated, gentle yet adorable, intelligent and clever. She was a type that many men would adore. If the divorce were confirmed, many men would vie for her attention.

The thought of her holding another man’s hand and sleeping in another man’s arms in the coming days made him uneasy.

Of course, Nicholas classified all these emotions into a man’s possessiveness after smoking a cigarette.

It was because she was still Mrs. Sallow, his wife.

He was sure these feelings would vanish once they completed the divorce proceedings and went their separate ways.

Nicholas firmly told himself that this must certainly be the case.

However, the time has changed, and how can he know he was completely wrong?

Soon, it was the day of Grandpa’s birthday celebration.

Nancy had deliberately woken up early, thinking she would wake up earlier than Nicholas. Still, to her surprise, the moment she opened her eyes, she discovered that someone was already in a suit. and tie, and everything was ready.

Nicholas was dressed in a black suit, impeccable without a single wrinkle, making him look. handsome, refined, and elegant.

Looking at him, Nancy can’t resist sighing. Some people were born with the perfect figure and look good in everything they wear.

Moreover, they are also God’s favorites. Their facial features are so exquisite that they are flawless.

She suddenly thought of the baby in her belly.

If it was a boy, he must be very handsome like him.

3/5 “Why do you wake up so early? Not sleeping any longer?”

Nicholas asked, seeing her wake up.

“No.” Nancy shook her head. “Today is Grandpa’s birthday. How can I sleep in? I must be the first to wish him a happy birthday.”

“Well, you won’t make it in time. Dad and Mom have already gone.”

Nancy was speechless.

However, her mind worked quickly, and she immediately said, “I can’t compete with Dad and Mom. After all, they are his son and daughter-in-law, so they should be the first. I meant the grandchild generation.”

Just as she finished speaking, she heard Nicholas’ deep voice saying, “Sorry, Mrs. Sallow, I don’t think you can be the first in the grandchild generation.”

“Who said that?”

Nicholas raised an eyebrow and said, “I’m all ready. I’ll go now.”

Nancy wasn’t afraid at all, pouting at him. “Go ahead, hurry. If Grandpa sees only you, he’ll think you’ve bullied me again. On such a joyous occasion, do you think Grandpa would rather see us as a couple or each of us alone?”

She hit the point.

Nicholas was defeated and looked at his watch. “I’ll give you fifteen minutes.”

“Okay.”

Although he gave her a miserably short amount of time, luckily, it was summer, and the clothes. were easy to put on.

As for makeup, her skin was always good, soft, and fair, as smooth as silk. She only needed a bit of cosmetics.

Moreover, for today’s occasion, she hadn’t planned to attend as Nicholas’ wife.

Nicholas frowned, seeing that Nancy didn’t put on the prepared formal dress. “Why aren’t you wearing it Those coming today are close relatives and good friends, and it’s not like we’re announcing it to the outside world. It wouldn’t matter if they knew.”

Nancy shook her head. Td rather not. Since we’ve kept it hidden for two years, there’s no need to reveal my identity the day before our divorce.

Today is Grandpa’s party, and I’m just here to accompany you 4/5 “What about Grandpa? How do you plan to explain it to him?” Nicholas asked, looking at her.

“Don’t worry. I’ll find a way to convince Grandpa.”

“Okay,”

After preparing, they were ready to leave.

“Wait.” Suddenly, Nancy’s gaze stopped at Nicholas’ neck.

She immediately turned around and found a matching tie to hand to Nicholas. “You forgot your tie.”

Nicholas didn’t reach out to take it. He lowered his head, his gentle voice slowly slipping out. “Help me with it.”

“I am not good at it. If you don’t mind, I’ll help you.

“Go ahead, I don’t mind.”

Nancy nodded, and her delicate fingers first hung the tie around Nicholas’ neck.

At this moment, Nicholas stood up straight, and Nancy’s hand held onto the tie. Unexpectedly, she leaned forward.

Her nose suddenly bumped into Nicholas’ lips.
