Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife

Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Become Stranger after Divorce

“Okay, Nancy. Since you’ve made up your mind, I respect your decision.”

Jacob reached out and pointed tremblingly at the cabinet not far away. “There is a combination box in the cabinet’s bottom drawer on the right. Take it out.”

“Okay.”

Nancy walked over, carefully removed the combination box from the cabinet, and carried it to Jacob.

“Grandpa, do you remember the password?”

“The password is Grandma’s birthday.”

“Grandma?” Nancy was very unfamiliar with this address. She didn’t have any memory of her.

Because when she entered the Sallows, Grandma had already passed away due to illness.

“Nicholas remembers. You go find him to open it,” Jacob reminded.

“Okay. Thank you, Grandpa.”

Nancy went out worriedly, holding the combination box in her arms.

No one at the door.

It seemed that Nicholas had left.

Nancy was about to call him when another wave of nausea suddenly hit her. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Her whole body was weak. She almost had no strength left in her body after vomiting.

She staggered back to the room with the combination box in her arms. Then, she lay down on the

sofa.

She took out his cell phone and called Nicholas, who was currently on the phone.

She put down her phone and stared blankly at the combination box. At that moment, a very shameful thought suddenly appeared in her mind.

What if…

If she told Nicholas that Jacob wouldn’t agree to their divorce.

Or she said that she didn’t get the certificate, so they didn’t have to divorce.

What if Madelline left in a fit of anger?

Can they go back to the past when no one bothered them?

When the baby is born, they will be the happiest family, won’t they?

At this moment, the door was opened suddenly.

Nancy immediately put the combination box behind her and hid it.

Nicholas walked over in a suit and stood in front of her.

“Are you done talking?” He asked in a low voice steadily.

Nancy smelled the cigarette smoke on his body and couldn’t help frowning. “You smoke?”

“Yeah, I smoked a little. How was the chat with Grandpa? Did he agree?”

“No.”

Nancy subconsciously shook her head.

“I’ll talk to Grandpa.”

Wait a minute. Nancy stopped him. “Do you regret marrying me?”

“There’s no regret. It was the best choice at that time.”

His face was cold. His tone was the same as usual, even when he said these words.

But those eyes were as deep as a pool.

Nancy felt that she couldn’t see through him.

“After the divorce, can we still meet, eat, and be like old friends?” Nancy suddenly looked into his eyes and asked him seriously.

Nicholas reached out and caressed her hair. “What are you thinking in your little head? After the divorce, we no longer have the identity of husband and wife. You are still Grandpa’s favorite granddaughter and part of the Sallows.”

“The Sallows?”

“Well, Grandpa originally intended to adopt you as his granddaughter, but then you married me and naturally became his granddaughter-in-law. Even though we are divorced, we will still eat at the same table and chat at family dinners. As for friend…

After being struck dumb momentarily, he continued, “I won’t treat you as a friend”

As Nancy clenched her hands tightly, she heard his voice again, “Be my younger sister that I can take care of and protect.”

Younger sister?

Hmph!

Nancy never thought she would be called a “sister” after two years of marriage.

It broke her heart.

Nicholas, you’re too cruel.

She never wanted to be his friend and hated this so-called “sister” very much.

It’s ridiculous. Extremely ironic.

“No need, Nicholas. After the divorce, I hope we can be as if we have never met. When we meet again, you don’t know me, and I don’t know you.” Nancy gritted her teeth and endured the heartache.

In her heart, being a stranger was better than being this little sister.

As for friends, she didn’t need that

People couldn’t be friends with someone they had truly loved.

“Nancy, do you have to be so heartless? Even if we divorce, you will still be the granddaughter Grandpa loves the most.” Nicholas frowned deeply.

Nancy smiled. “As you said. It’s between me and Grandpa, so I will deal it with Grandpa. Of course, I am still Grandpa’s granddaughter, but you and I have nothing to do with each other

anymore.”

“As for the younger sister you mentioned, there’s no need. If I were Madelline, I wouldn’t want an ex- wife to be sister-in-law either.”

After that, Nancy took out the combination box from behind and handed it to Nicholas,

“What’s this?”

“Grandpa didn’t quite agree, but he said he respected my decision. Our documents are all in it. Grandpa said the password is Grandma’s birthday, you know it.”

Nicholas took the combination box and suddenly became depressed.

Of course, he knew his grandma’s birthday.

Because the day she died was also her birthday.

In his eyes, his grandparents had always been a loving couple and had been in love all their lives. They were always together as husband and wife on any occasion. Especially when they got older, his grandma’s health deteriorated. No matter where she went, his grandpa would hold his grandma’s hand tightly.

When they were young, his grandma accompanied his grandpa to start the business from scratch, working hard from dawn to dusk.

Later, Jacob succeeded in starting a business. His career was booming, and his life finally improved.

But after a few days of good life, it was found out Grandma had many diseases.

Some were very tormenting chronic diseases.

When Nicholas was young, the most common sentence he heard from Jacob was, “Nicholas, be obedient. Don’t make Grandma angry. Otherwise. Grandpa will beat you.”

It was indeed like that.

He remembered that once, he was so tired that he slept on Grandma’s lap for several hours.

That day was rainy. Grandma suffered from rheumatism. Her waist was sore, and her legs hurt, which was very tormenting.

She persisted for a few hours to avoid disturbing his sleep.

Later, Grandma’s legs hurt for a whole month. She moaned every night, unable to sleep.

The next day, Grandpa punished him to stand all day, and he was not allowed to eat all day.

In Nicholas’ impression, it was the first time Jacob punished him like that.

No one dared to persuade Jacob. Later, his grandma found out and got angry, so Grandpa didn’t continue to punish him.

At that time, he was young and didn’t understand.

Now, he understood the deep love of his grandparents, but his grandma left long ago.

Nicholas’ eyes were red. Nancy asked with concern, “What’s wrong? I’ve never heard you mention Grandma. Is there anything wrong?”

“No one in the whole family dares to mention it because we’re afraid Grandpa will be sad.”

Nancy didn’t dare to ask more questions after he said so.

She looked at the combination box and asked, “Do you still remember the password? If you remember, open it!”
