Chapter 20


    Chapter 20 He Was Incredibly Sexy


    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?”


    Nichs’ 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, Nichs 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 Nichs 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


    t 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 Nichs’ughter 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 re.


    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, Nichs grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

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


    it.”


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


    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, Nichs 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 thest time.


    After tying the tie, Nichs 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,plemented 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 asion for the asion. 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 Nichs 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 withughter, joy, happiness, and delight.


    Just then, Sarah approached. “Nichs, Nancy, get ready. Some rtives, friends, and guests will be


    arriving shortly. Let’s wee 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 Nichs’ 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 Nichs for two years now. Today is a rare opportunity. When else are you


    nning 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 Iplete my thesis defense and officially graduate, I


    promise to attend and publicly announce my identity with Nichs. Would that be okay?”


    Nichs 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-exined 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-inw 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.


    M


    In an instant, she pulled Nichs aside and asked, “Tell me the truth, are you two still nning to get a


    divorce?”


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


    “I can’t”


    Sarah refused without hesitation.


    Nichs 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?”


    new


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


    happy?”


    Sarah red 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 ss 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 Nichs.


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


    His tone was highly domineering as he immediately took the juice away and poured a ss of warm


    water for Nancy.


    “in water has no vor, 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.


    Nichs 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.


    Nichs 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 Nichs.
