Chapter 3 Sleep with Her in My Arms

“Take care of yourself.” After Nicholas finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry. “Okay, I will.” Although he hung up very quickly, Nancy still heard Madelline’s voice. She heard the words “dinner” clearly. On their second wedding anniversary, her husband had a dinner with another woman. It was ironic. Madelline was back! Although Nancy didn’t want to believe it, this was the fact. This fact also made her instantly feel defeated. Nancy was never a match for Madelline, even from two years ago. How could she expect that Nicholas would choose her? Just because she’s pregnant? At this moment, Nancy was glad that she didn’t say anything. Otherwise, she would be humiliating herself. Nancy cried for a long time. Now that Nancy calmed herself down, she decided to accept her fate gracefully. After taking a shower, she lay on the bed. Just when she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly received a call from Luke, “Nicholas is drunk and rowdy. Come and take him home.” Nancy wonders, ‘Didn’t he spend a good night with Madelline? Why did he go to drink with Luke again?’ Nancy was about to say, “I’m a bit inconvenient. You can find someone to take him home!” But Luke has already hung up the phone. When she called again, Luke already turned off his phone. Enduring the pain, Nancy got up from the bed and changed her clothes. Then she asked the driver to take her to the clubhouse Nicholas often visited. When she arrived, the bar was hushed. Nicholas was very drunk. He was sleeping on the sofa and crossed his legs. His tie was neat, and his appearance was as handsome as ever. There is a saying that some people in this world are perfect. Even when they are drunk, they can maintain a good posture, just like Nicholas. Nancy felt nauseated and vomited when she got closer. She guessed that it might be because of her pregnancy. After finally restraining herself, she looked at Luke and asked, “Why is he so drunk? Isn’t he with Madelline?” “So, you already knew?” Luke looked at her and quipped, “Your husband wants to spend the night with another woman, and you just let him do that?” Nancy clenched her hands tightly, took a deep breath, and slowly relaxed. She replied, “We have already agreed to get a divorce. We might not get it officially ended yet, but he’s basically a free man. I have no right to say no.” “Huh!” Luke looked at her coldly, “You are so generous.” “Nancy, do you haveContent rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

a conscience? How did Nicholas treat you all these years? He always took care of you and cherished you. And you just agreed to divorce him? Didn’t you at least try to keep him?” Luke was outraged. Nancy looked at him in astonishment, “I remember that when I married him, you were very opposed to it. Now that I am divorcing him, shouldn’t you be happy about it? Why are you even angrier than me?” “I didn’t like you then. But now that you are married, both of you should cherish it and not treat marriage as a joke. Another reason is … ” Luke paused and said thoughtfully, “You are more suitable for Nicholas than Madelline.” Nancy remained silent for a long time and didn’t say anything more. She called the driver and helped Nicholas get into the car. However, as soon as she arrived home and got out of the car, Nancy ran into Albert Sallow. “Dad, why are you here?” Albert looked at Nicholas coldly and said, “You’re a married man, yet you don’t have any self-control. It’s truly inappropriate of you to get drunk completely like this.” Nancy smiled immediately and said, “Dad, it’s okay. It’s our wedding anniversary today. Some of our friends were celebrating with us. Everyone took turns toasting to me. So, Nicholas helped me and drank double.” After hearing this, Albert’s expression softened. Then he handed the gift to Nancy and said, “This is a gift from Grandpa and me for your wedding anniversary. There were some last-minute matters to attend to, so I came late. I hope you like it. Hopefully, you both can live loving and helping each other in the future.” “Thank you, Dad. Please convey my thanks to Grandpa. I like it very much. Thank you for remembering our wedding anniversary.” Nancy thanked Albert sincerely and was also deeply moved. “Aren’t you going to open it?” Albert asked. “As long as it’s a gift from both of you, I’ll love it no matter what.” “You’re such a kind girl.” His gaze landed on Nicholas. “If he ever mistreats you, don’t hesitate to let me and Grandpa know. We’ll have your back.” “Thank you, Dad. I’ll remember that.” Nancy smiled brightly. “Then I won’t bother you anymore. Have a good rest.” Nancy handed Nicholas to the butler and said, “Dad, I’ll send you off.” “No, it will take time for you to take care of him. So, rest when you’re done.” “Okay, Dad, take care.” Nancy finally got Nicholas upstairs and put the hot bath water in. When she left the bathroom, she found that Nicholas had fallen asleep on the floor. She squatted down and poked his hand, “Nicholas, get up and shower.” “Get up!” No response. Nancy sighed and helped Nicholas to take off his clothes. Then, she helped him to the bathroom to bathe him. The body wash has a robust milky smell. It’s Nancy’s favorite. But today,

while bathing Nicholas, she choked so much that she vomited several times. After she bathed Nicholas and put him on the bed, Nancy thought she could rest now. But Nicholas turned around suddenly, hugged her waist with both hands and whispered, “Don’t go. Stay here!” Nancy felt warm for a while. That feeling was very similar to the first time she saw him. Her heart was beating fast and filled with sweetness. Nicholas usually looks elegant and calm, but he has never acted so affectionate. Nancy’s heart softened, and she couldn’t bear to push him away. Well, it’s the last night. They would get divorced tomorrow and wouldn’t have a chance to share a bed anymore. May tonight be the last memory for them. “Okay.” She responded softly, lay down beside him, and then took a blanket to cover them both. Before going to sleep, her fingers gently traced over his eyebrows, nose, and lips, like a brush painting delicate strokes. Then, her fingers fell on his hand, intertwined with his fingers, and held tightly. She only dared to do these things when Nicholas was asleep. In the morning, Nancy wakes up by the vibration of her phone. She was still drowsy, feeling like she hadn’t slept well. She picked up her phone and placed it next to her ear. “Hello?” “You are Nancy?” A woman’s stunned voice came from the other side of the phone. That was Madelline’s voice. Nancy took it by mistake. This is Nicholas’ phone. Nancy immediately sat up from the bed. She opened her eyes and glanced at her phone quickly. Then, she handed the phone to Nicholas and said, “Ms. Madelline is looking for you.”
