Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 202 Nicholas’s Insecurity

What had Nancy promised that day?

She nodded in response.

She assured Nicholas that she would never ask him for money on Felix’s behalf.

Previously, Nicholas had discovered the situation himself and volunteered to handle it.

But this time, if she asked him for money, it would be a completely different situation.

Should I borrow money from him?

Nicholas was her only source of support.

For the sake of her mother, she had to borrow the money.

Nancy clenched her jaw and dialed Nicholas’s number.

The call connected almost immediately. “Nancy.”

“Nick, it must be the middle of the night over there. I’m sorry for calling so late. Did I wake you?”

“No. I haven’t slept yet.”

“Oh, that’s good. Nick, I actually called to…” askif you could lend me some money.

But before Nancy could finish her sentence, she heard a soft voice calling out, “Nicholas…”

The first time Nancy heard the voice, she thought she was imagining things.

“Nicholas…” Madelline continued to call out hazily from the bed with her eyes closed.

The second time Nancy heard the voice, she froze.

It felt as if her blood was flowing in the wrong direction. Her head felt heavy, and her knees grew weak. She didn’t

know what she was doing or what she was hearing.

She stood there in a daze, holding her phone.

It was such a weak and pitiful voice. Clearly, it belonged to a woman.

He has a woman in his room.

If a woman’s soft cries rang out from a man’s room in the middle of the night, Nancy wouldn’t be the only woman

who couldn’t resist jumping to unsavory conclusions.

Moreover, the voice sounded familiar to her.

“Nancy…” Nicholas called out when Nancy fell silent.

Nancy smiled helplessly. “I’m here.”

“You called for what? I didn’t hear you just now.”

Nancy’s grip tightened. Thank goodness you didn’t hear clearly. It’s good that you didn’t hear me. What am I to

him?

Now that she thought about it, they were only in a relationship. They had only started dating recently.

Even when they were married, Nicholas wasn’t willing to deal with Felix’s matters. He would be even less willing

now!

What gave her the right to borrow 140 thousand from him?

“It’s nothing. I just called to say good night and sweet dreams,” Nancy said bitterly, clutching her phone.

“Is that all? Don’t you have anything else to say?” Nicholas asked abruptly.

He didn’t sound pleased.

Nancy thought she had handled the call well. Even though she heard another woman’s voice, she chose to ignore it

and pretend she hadn’t heard it.

Why is he still unsatisfied?

“Nope,” Nancy replied.

Nicholas became even angrier.

Gripping his phone, he walked out to the balcony and locked the door behind him.

Then, he asked, “Didn’t you hear another voice just now?”

“I did.”

“Don’t you have anything you want to say or ask?” Nicholas checked again.

Nancy squeezed her phone. Her palm was sweating.

She felt as if her heart had been stabbed with needles. The stinging pain made it hard for her to

breathe.

She had decided to ignore the voice. She kept telling herself not to think about it, so why did he insist on reminding

her?

What did he want from her?

Did he want her to say it was fine? That she understood him? That it was normal for men to have desires?

Did he want her to say she didn’t mind?

Alas, Nancy couldn’t say any of that.

She couldn’t pretend not to mind.

Nancy didn’t want to lie, so she remained silent and acted as if nothing had happened.

Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt as much if she didn’t see it herself.

“I have nothing to say. You’re free to do whatever you want,” Nancy replied.

Nicholas’ veins were starting to bulge at this point. “Are you sure you have nothing to say?”

“If I do, it’s what I said earlier. Good night. Sweet dreams.”

Nicholas threw his phone in a fit of anger.

His phone shattered into pieces. Just then, Madelline struggled to get into her wheelchair and picked up the pieces

with great difficulty.

She kept bending down and picking everything up.

It took her a long time and a lot of effort.

Still, she picked up the broken pieces of Nicholas’ phone and held them up to him with both hands. “What made you

so angry? Nothing is worth jeopardizing your health.”

Nicholas glanced at her coldly and grabbed his shattered phone before leaving.

He barely even looked at her.

Madelline felt ignored, and her heart burned with resentment.

When she was in bed earlier, she couldn’t hear what he said. However, from the gentle look on his face. when he

answered the call, she was certain it was Nancy who had called.

That was why she purposely called out to Nicholas in a soft voice.

She wanted to see Nancy’s reaction.

She never would’ve thought that Nancy would remain unaffected while Nicholas would be the one feeling furious.

Out in the hallway, Nicholas smoked cigarette after cigarette.

He held his phone to his ear with one hand while the other brought the cigarette up to his lips.

The smoke enveloped his face.

Upon closer inspection, one would find that his face was as cold as ice right now.

Meanwhile, Luke couldn’t take it anymore. “Nicholas, from the way you kept calling me just now, I thought it was an

emergency. Well? You haven’t said a word since the call connected.”

If it weren’t for the sound of Nicholas smoking, Luke would have thought the call had ended.

“I want to ask you something.” After a while, Nicholas finally spoke.

“Go ahead.”

“If a woman knows you’re with another woman in the middle of the night but doesn’t care at all and doesn’t show

any jealousy, what does that mean?”

Nicholas felt relieved to get the words out, and he anxiously awaited the answer.

“If something like that doesn’t make her jealous, I suppose there could be two reasons.”

“What are the two reasons?” Nicholas impatiently asked.

“The first possibility is that she loves him too much, so she lets the man do whatever he wants because she’s too

afraid that he would get tired of her and leave. She doesn’t want to lose the relationship. The other possibility is

that she doesn’t love him at all, so she doesn’t care whether he’s with another woman or even ten women, for that

matter. Hey, man. Are you talking about Nan-”

Before Luke could finish speaking, Nicholas interrupted him to say, “I’m ending the call.”

He then hung up.

There are two possibilities: either she loves me excessively or not at all. Nancy, which one is it? Why do you show

no concern whatsoever? Which category do you fall into?
