Chapter 105 He Called Her Honey

A warm surge coursed through Nancy’s heart when “Mrs. Sallow” resounded clearly in her ears. again. Over these years, she had sacrificed so much just to hear him call her that. She had patiently waited for this moment, which she had almost given up on, but now, he gave her the best response.

“I love it, I love it very much,” she said. She nodded as she stared at Nicholas with a steadfast look in her eyes. She continued, “Thank you, Nicholas. Thank you for your gift.”

However, he furrowed his brow, a hint of displeasure in his voice. “Nicholas?”

“Nick,” she promptly corrected.

He remained tight-lipped, still not entirely pleased.

Nancy had an inkling of the name Nicholas preferred to be called, but she struggled to say They had been married for years, and though she had hoped to address him this way from the beginning, she had always felt a bit self-conscious, so she had yet to utter the word. Now, with the perfect atmosphere and environment, the dilemma weighed on her. Should I say it or not? She was caught in this internal conflict. Her fingers fidgeted anxiously, her heart pounded, and she swayed. uncertainty.

He was aware of her hesitation, realizing that all he could offer was time and space, allowing her to decide without pressure.

However, time passed.

Just when Nicholas had given up on this chance, Nancy suddenly raised her head, gazing tenderly at him, and said, “Thank you, darling.”

He felt like a garden of a million blooming flowers resonated in his heart. Who said flowers. bloomed silently? In his heart, they blossomed with sound. Each petal was vibrant, magnificent, and captivating.

“I didn’t catch that,” he said, pretending not to hear her.

She thought he was behaving like a sly wolf, always teasing her. “Darling,” she repeated, this time with a bit more volume.

After saying it, her face turned beet red. If she could look in the mirror, she was sure that her face. was almost dripping with embarrassment. Luckily, she couldn’t see herself; otherwise, she would have been utterly mortified.

“This time, it’s clear. I heard it,” he reassured her. He approached her, his hand resting on her shoulder. He leaned down and gently kissed her forehead, saying, “You’re so adorable today, honey!” He added, “I need to go to work. Please wait for me at home.” With that, he left.

In the spacious room, Nancy stood dazed, thinking, Honey? Adorable? Did he call me honey? He said I was adorable. Did he mean those things? She shyly cupped her blushing face. Only now did she. realize how warm her cheeks felt, as if they were close to burning.

Not long after Nicholas left, she received a call from Albert.

“Are you free today, Nancy? I want to talk to you about something.”

“I’ll come over and see you, Dad.”

“Alright. I’ll send someone over to pick you up.”

“Okay, Dad.”

The call ended, and she had an inexplicable sense of unease. She pondered, Why does Dad want to see me out of the blue? He even prepared a ride for me already. It doesn’t seem like a sudden decision.

Nancy went to the Sallow Residence in the car sent to fetch her. After arriving, she noticed that Sarah was present. This made the situation even more surprising and mysterious.

Over the years. Nancy had observed that Albert and Sarah rarely appeared together unless it was for a significant reason. Now that they were both here, it was clear that something unusual was happening.

“Mom, Nancy greeted with a sweet smile when she saw Sarah.

“Go on upstairs. Your dad is waiting for you in the study.”

“Okay.”

While standing outside the study, Nancy’s heart pounded nervously. She took a deep breath. before knocking on the door.

“Is that you, Nancy? Come in,” a deep, authoritative voice called out.

She opened the door. The study was fragrant with the scent of books. She entered the study, feeling somewhat tense. “Dad, did you want to talk to me about something?”

“Have a seat, Nancy. Let’s sit and talk,” Albert said, gesturing to the couch opposite him.

Once she was seated, he said, “How has Nicholas been treating you lately?”

“He’s been treating me well.” Their recent interactions had rekindled a glimmer of hope in her

heart

“Nancy, your mother and I are on your side, so you don’t need to be afraid. If he ever mistreats you, just let us know.”

“He hasn’t, Dad. Regardless of the ups and downs in her relationship with Nicholas, she never considered speaking ill of him in front of his parents.

Albert sighed and gazed at Nancy with a tender expression. “You’re such a kind-hearted girl. Do

think we’re unaware of what that rascal has been up to lately?” He added, “And yet, you keep defending him.”

She bowed her head in silence. She couldn’t deny it. She loved him and couldn’t help but stand. for him. “I understand that you and Mom care about me, Dad. I’m sorry for causing you

WOITY.”

“Your grandfather’s right. You’re too kind. That’s why you keep indulging him. We heard about what he did for Madelline’s birthday. Don’t worry. Your mom has sent that woman away. She won’t be able to come back anytime soon to disrupt your lives.”

Nancy realized that Madelline had been sent away, which explained the recent calm. She also thought about the phone call Madelline made to Nicholas and figured it must have been a plea for him to bring her back. However, it seemed that he hadn’t brought her back.

At that moment, Albert reached into a drawer, took out an envelope, and handed it to Nancy. “Take a look at this.”

She thought it might be something Jacob had left to her, so she eagerly opened it. However, when she saw the contents, her eyes widened in disbelief. She was left speechless. “I-Is these real, Dad? Is this Madelline?” She stared at the person in the photos in shock.

Even though she knew that Madelline wasn’t as innocent as she initially thought, she couldn’t have imagined the wild lifestyle Madelline had abroad. The photos showed Madelline with other men, embracing them, getting tattoos, engaging in passionate kisses, and even some explicit images. In short, the photos were highly inappropriate.

“Ive confirmed that the person in these photos is indeed Madelline,” Albert said, collecting the photos and returning them to the envelope. He then passed the envelope to Nancy. He continued, “Now, I’m giving you these. You have the authority to decide what to do with them. No matter your choice, your mom and I will fully support your decision.”

“You’re giving these to me?”

“Yes. If the day comes when your marriage can no longer be saved, I believe these photos will be your last resort,” he explained.
