Chapter 20 He Was Incredibly Sexy This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

His warm breath instantly carried a scorching enchantment that touched Nancy’s nose, lips, and

entire face.

Her entire face flushed red. She grabbed his tie with one hand and suddenly didn’t know what to do.

Nancy’s heart was beating fast.

“You… stand up straight,” she said. Her face flushed, trying to divert her attention.

“Are you sure?”

Nicholas’ voice sounded just like usual, but Nancy found it incredibly gentle and seductive in the current situation.

Especially since his lips were still close to the tip of her nose, warm and inviting, distracting her to the point where she couldn’t even focus on tying the tie.

“I’m sure.”

“Good.”

He responded with a nod, and in an instant, Nicholas stood up straight.

Nancy was speechless.

Her face turned even redder.

It was so embarrassing.

When they spent much time together, how did she not notice that Nicholas was taller than her? With him standing up straight, she could barely reach his tie and had to stand on her tiptoes.

It was because she had a baby bump in her belly. Nancy had been very cautious these days, wearing flat shoes.

So, the height difference between them became even more noticeable.

And today, for some reason, she couldn’t seem to get this tie right, no matter how many times she

tried to tie it

Although her skills weren’t top-notch, it wasn’t supposed to be this difficult!

Nancy was anxious, and Nicholas’ laughter rang in her ears, “Who was it that just told me to stand up?”

Nancy was instantly annoyed. She raised her head and gave that man a fierce glare.

Then, she shoved the tie into his arms and said, “I’m not doing it anymore. You can tie it yourself.

Knowing she was angry, Nicholas grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

Seeing a table behind them, he carried Nancy and placed her on it. “Alright, go ahead and finish. tying it.”

In an instant, Nancy’s mind went blank, and her hands holding his tie just froze in place.

This felt like déjà vu.

She used to see such scenes in dramas before but never thought it would happen to her one day.

Nancy lowered her head as she tied the tie, concentrating intensely.

Her past self wouldn’t have known how to tie a tie, as she had never needed to.

When she knew she would marry him, she searched online videos and learned step by step. At first, she couldn’t get it right, but then she bought a tie and practiced incessantly until she finally

mastered it.

Back then, she used to dream about it. She made breakfast for him every morning, tying his tie and sending him to work.

She always felt it was a ritual between husband and wife, filled with joy and happiness.

But after getting married, Nicholas never asked her to tie his tie..

She never expected the only time would be the day before they divorced.

It was the first time, but also the last time.

After tying the tie, Nicholas picked up Nancy, and they walked down the stairs hand in hand.

The hall of the Sallows had already been decorated with a golden theme, complemented by other colors, creating a festive and joyful atmosphere throughout the venue.

Despite the festive atmosphere, the venue exuded the dignity and distinction of the Sallows in every detail.

Jacob wore a tuxedo for the occasion for the occasion. He had taken the time to style his hair. He appeared lively with the tuxedo, exuding vitality.

“Grandpa, we wish you a happy 80th birthday. We wish you a long life and happiness!”

Nancy and Nicholas made a bow together, bending down to present their gifts to Jacob.

Jacob received the gifts smilingly and then helped the two of them up. “Alright, alright. Thank you for your blessings.”

The living room was filled with laughter, joy, happiness, and delight.

Just then, Sarah approached. “Nicholas, Nancy, get ready. Some relatives, friends, and guests will be arriving shortly. Let’s welcome them at the entrance.“

As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Nancy. “Huh, why are you wearing this outfit? Didn’t you see the red dress I had prepared for you?”

“That outfit is festive, and it’s also a couple’s outfit with Nicholas’ suit. Go upstairs and change into it quickly.”

Nancy clenched her fists and took a deep breath before speaking, “Mom, I saw the outfit, but I don’t want to reveal my identity today.”

“You’ve been married to Nicholas for two years now. Today is a rare opportunity. When else are you planning to make it public?”

“Grandpa, Mom, I haven’t finished my postgraduate studies yet. I’m still a student and don’t want to announce my married status officially. After I complete my thesis defense and officially graduate, I promise to attend and publicly announce my identity with Nicholas. Would that be okay?”

Nicholas said, “Yes, there are many rumors and gossip in the university, so this is also a way to protect her.”

Nancy’s reasoning was well-explained and convincing, making it hard to refuse.

Jacob was the first to nod in agreement. “Hmm, that makes sense. It’s not a matter of just a day or two. She’s already my granddaughter-in-law and can’t run away for the rest of her life. Let her decide when she wants to reveal it.”

“Alright, Dad. Since you’ve said so, I’ll certainly go along with your decision,” Sarah replied with at

smile.

In an instant, she pulled Nicholas aside and asked, “Tell me the truth, are you two still planning to get a divorce?”

“Mom, this is something between Nancy and me. We have our plans. Can you let us handle it?”

“I can’t”

Sarah refused without hesitation.

Nicholas frowned tightly. “Mom, we weren’t meant to be together out of love. Separation is mevitable Forced marriages aren’t going to be happy. Aren’t you and Dad the best proof of that?”

“Indeed, you and Dad haven’t gotten divorced all these years, but let me ask you, have you been happy?”

Sarah glared at him with an angry face. I’m talking about you and Nancy now. Don’t involve me and your

dad. Besides, my matter with your father is different from yours. Can it be mixed up?”

“Anyway, I’m warning you, don’t even think about divorce as long as I’m around.”

Sarah left after saying that.

Nancy had just picked up a glass of juice and was about to take a sip when a warm, strong hand suddenly gripped hers.

She lifted her head and found herself looking into the handsome face of Nicholas.

“It’s too cold. You may not drink it.”

His tone was highly domineering as he immediately took the juice away and poured a glass of warm water for Nancy.

“Plain water has no flavor, and I want something sweet.”

These days, she hadn’t tasted anything and finally found a chance to have something sweet, but someone took it away before she could even enjoy it.

Nicholas saw her pouting and looking pitiful, so he softened and handed the juice back to her. “Don’t drink too much. It can cause stomach ache at night.”

“Yes.”

She wouldn’t have drunk a lot if he hadn’t said anything.

She just wanted to take a small sip to satisfy her craving.

With a baby in her belly, she was sure always to be cautious.

Nicholas answered a phone call, and then his expression changed. “Nancy, I have to go out for a bit. I’ll come back as soon as possible.”

Today was his grandfather’s birthday, and he would only leave midway if it were for someone or something vital.

After thinking it over, other than Madelline, who else could it be?

“She’s the one who called you, right?”

“Do you have to go?”

“If it’s not too urgent, I’d prefer if you…”

Before Nancy could finish her words, she was suddenly interrupted by Nicholas.
