Chapter 152 Time For A Bath And Sleep

Nicholas’ face turned as dark as charcoal, his anger simmering just beneath the surface, ready to beignited by even the smallest spark. “What did she say?” he muttered, struggling to comprehendNancy’s words. “Young hunk? Mature man? Sister-brother romance? She even said she liked them alland wanted to try them one by one.” He stood by the bedside, silently witnessing her shockingrevelations. If he hadn’t heard it with his own ears, he would have found it impossible to accept.

“Nancy, what about the person you’ve had a crush on for ten years?” His pitch-black eyes locked ontoher, his voice laced with a cold and unyielding tone. “How can you move on as soon as you say youdon’t love him?” Though he knew he wouldn’t get an answer, the burning rage within him continued tosmolder.

She was a forgetful woman, capable of forgetting with alarming ease. Furthermore, she had justdivorced him two days ago, yet she was already so eager to replace a new boyfriend..

Nicholas felt increasingly uneasy as the reality of the situation sunk in. He grabbed Nancy’s wrist,pulling her towards him and burying his tall frame in the bed. With one hand supporting himself and theother gripping her wrist, he pressed it against the headboard, effectively trapping her in his gaze.

way, she had to face him, and the proximity was undeniable.

This

Her flushed and petite face met his, and for the first time in a while, he felt a sense of reassurance andfamiliarity. Only now did he start to feel a bit more at ease in his heart after truly seeing her andembracing her.

“Nancy, do you remember that you’ve just divorced? Why are you so eager to look for a boyfriend?”Nicholas suppressed his anger and asked with restraint.

Nancy briefly opened her eyes, then closed them again, muttering her defiance, “Who are you tocontrol me?”

His response was curt, teeth clenched. “I’m your husband.”

She chuckled as if she had heard a huge joke. “You’re not even a professional liar. Let me tell you…”As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed onto Nicholas’ arm, her body gracefully bending as sheleaned in close to his ear. With a gentle exhale, she continued, “I’m already divorced. I only have an ex-husband. Where would I get a husband?”

Nancy’s lips brushed against Nicholas’ earlobe, creating an intimate closeness between them. Herwarm breath on his skin was like a gentle caress. This tender sensation tormented him, pushing hisemotional restraint to its limits. Words were no longer necessary; the atmosphere between them wasoverwhelming. When she finally spoke, her voice took on a breathy, seductive tone, making him evenmore defenseless. The tension within him, once taut like a bowstring, snapped with a resoundingcrash, shattering into two pieces.

“What a fool!” she remarked, her earlier laughter replaced by criticism as she tried to leave.

However, Nicholas acted swiftly, grabbing Nancy’s waist with one hand and forcefully pulling her closerto him. In that instant, he understood that there was no way he could let her go. Without hesitation, hepressed his lips to hers, and they kissed. The intensity of their embrace increased as he greedilysavored her unique flavor, consumed by a storm of desire that swept through them.

“Mm… mmm…” Nancy clenched her fist, her inner turmoil overwhelming her as she struggled againstthe overwhelming tide of emotions. With one hand finally free, she raised it. She delivered a powerfulslap to Nicholas’ face, a physical manifestation of her frustration.

The man, as if abruptly awakened, released his grip on her and straightened her disheveled clothes.He looked at her with tenderness in his eyes and apologized, “Nancy, I’m sorry. I couldn’t controlmyself.” He had always prided himself on his unwavering self-control. At that moment, his thoughtswere like a stampede of wild horses beyond his control, pushing him to desire her and make her hisown. “Nicholas, you’re despicable!” Fueled by frustration, he clenched his fist and slammed it onto thetable.

Then, Nicholas called room service. “I have a drunk woman here. Please send two people to help.”

“Of course, Mr. Sallow. Please wait a moment. We will send someone over right away.”.

The hotel’s five-star service promptly responded, with staff arriving at the door in less than five minutes.Nicholas instructed them, “Give her a hot bath and change her into clean clothes.”

“Mr. Sallow, where is this young lady’s nightgown?”

“Wait à moment. I’ll go get it.” After that, Nicholas made a phone call to Luke.

Meanwhile, the situation with Linda was not much better.

The moment she stepped into the room and laid eyes on Luke, her intoxication began to wane, leavingher considerably more lucid. While she remained inebriated, she could still discern that the man.carrying her was Luke. Her alcohol tolerance was undoubtedly superior to Nancy’s, thanks to her priorexposure to numerous social drinking occasions. Moreover, the cool night breeze during the return.journey contributed to her regaining some sobriety.

As Linda set her sights on the man and her thoughts inevitably drifted to Nancy, irritation washed overher. She pointed at him, her gaze somewhat unfocused, and asked, “Luke? Why are you here? Do youhave any idea how much I don’t want to see you right now, especially when you’re associated withNicholas?”

“Linda, you’re drunk. I’m here to help you take a bath and go to sleep,” Luke assured her, pulling her

closer.

However, she seemed to have an uncanny ability to sense his action as her eyes twinkledmischievously. Subsequently, she retreated to a corner and crouched down, hiding from his view.

Pointing her hand at Luke with a dissatisfied expression, Linda quipped, “None of you men are anygood. You’re all playing both sides. Nicholas is one, and it seems you’re no different. Don’t think I don’tknow why you’ve come to replace me.”

Her slurred words grew progressively more offensive, causing his demeanor to turn colder. He reachedout and forcefully pulled her into his chest, asserting, “Go take a bath and then sleep.”

Linda sensed that Luke was upset, and under normal circumstances, she might not argue with him.However, today was different; she wanted to defy him while intoxicated, just to test the boundaries. “Idon’t want to,” she protested, pushing him away. “I’m not tired. Let me go.”

“I’ll say it again. Go take a shower.” His aura became even colder, and his voice dropped in volume.

Without giving her a chance to respond, he dragged her into the bathroom, while she continued toresist. “I don’t want to. I’m not tired, and I don’t want to sleep.”

He fixed his intense gaze on her. “At least take a bath. Or do you want me to stay with you?” Hecouldn’t ignore the strong smell of alcohol emanating from her. “You reek of alcohol, he scolded sternly.“I’ve told you not to drink, but you’ve ended up like this.”

Just then, Luke’s phone rang, and Linda seized the opportunity to push him away in frustration while hereached for the phone call. “I’ll wash up on my own. I don’t need your help

Nicholas arrived promptly, having been informed of the room number. As Luke opened the door forNicholas, he couldn’t resist making a joke. “You’re quick. The two of you, ex-husband and ex-wife,sharing a room. Have you done anything to satisfy your desires?”

Nicholas responded with a cold glance, his scrutiny of Luke’s attire revealing his displeasure. In a frigidtone, he asked, “What have you done to Linda?”
