Chapter 3


    Chapter 3 Sleep with Her in My Arms


    “Take care of yourself.” After Nichs 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 Nichs would choose her? Just because she’s pregnant? At this moment,


    Nancy was d 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 ept her fate gracefully. After


    taking a shower, shey on the bed. Just when she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly received a


    call from Luke, “Nichs 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 Nichs


    often visited. When she arrived, the bar was hushed. Nichs 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 Nichs. 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 rxed. 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 have


    a conscience? How did Nichs 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


    Nichs than Madelline.” Nancy remained silent for a long time and didn’t say anything more. She


    called the driver and helped Nichs 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 Nichs coldly


    and said, “You’re a married man, yet you don’t have any self-control. It’s truly inappropriate of you to


    get drunkpletely 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, Nichs 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 somest-minute matters to attend to, so I camete. 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 gazended on


    Nichs. “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 Nichs 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


    Nichs upstairs and put the hot bath water in. When she left the bathroom, she found that Nichs


    had fallen asleep on the floor. She squatted down and poked his hand, “Nichs, get up and shower.”


    “Get up!” No response. Nancy sighed and helped Nichs 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 Nichs, she choked so much that she vomited several times. After she bathed Nichs


    and put him on the bed, Nancy thought she could rest now. But Nichs 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 simr to the first time she saw him. Her heart was beating fast and filled with


    sweetness. Nichs 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 thest night. They would get


    divorced tomorrow and wouldn’t have a chance to share a bed anymore. May tonight be thest


    memory for them. “Okay.” She responded softly,y down beside him, and then took a nket 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 Nichs 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 ced 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 Nichs’


    phone. Nancy immediately sat up from the bed. She opened her eyes and nced at her phone


    quickly. Then, she handed the phone to Nichs and said, “Ms. Madelline is looking for you.”Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
