Chapter 23 Gave Up When It Hurts

Nancy’s heart was in chaos. She suddenly didn’t know what to do.

Nicholas decided to bring Madelline here because he couldn’t wait anymore, so he wanted to introduceMadelline’s identity to everyone.

What about her?

What was her status?

Nancy’s face instantly turned pale. The phone fell from her hand.

Seeing this, Aunt Gloria picked it up quickly and said, “Mrs. Sallow, what’s wrong? You look so pale.Did the Young Master say something?”

Nancy nodded blankly. “No.”

“Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom.”

Nancy stood next to the sink, suddenly pouring cold water on her face as if she had gone crazy.

She didn’t know how many times she washed her face. Her whole cheeks were so cold that there. wasno warmth, and her hands were so cold that they turned red. She raised her head, brushed her hair,and looked at herself.

In the mirror, she was obviously wearing the most gorgeous clothes, simple yet pretty makeup, anexpensive head ornament, and a necklace. However, at this moment, she felt like she was a clown,incredibly messy.

She obviously agreed that as soon as Grandpa’s birthday was over today, she would mention thedivorce to him tomorrow..

Just half a day.

Only half a day was left, but he couldn’t wait any longer.

Nancy took a long time in the bathroom, and the water kept flowing.

Aunt Gloria was afraid that something would happen to her. She knocked on the door worriedly. “Mrs.Sallow, are you okay?”

Nancy didn’t answer.

Aunt Gloria got no answer from Nancy and was a little anxious. She shouted again. “Mrs. Sallow…

1/4

At this time, Nancy opened the door and looked at Aunt Gloria with a gentle smile. “I’m ready, let’s go!”

“Are you still waiting for Young Master?”

Nancy shook her head. “No need. He will be here soon.”

Moreover, he didn’t need her to wait anymore.

In the bathroom, Nancy thought a hundred times whether to go downstairs or not.

She could refuse if she didn’t want to go, but she still came down.

She didn’t want to disappoint Jacob. She didn’t want to leave any regrets on his birthday. Besides

that…

Perhaps she would give up if she went.

She might give up when she sees Nicholas introduce Madelline in front of everyone and deny herexistence.

A pain could only be felt when you see it with your own eyes. After that, she could completely give up.

When Nancy went downstairs, Grandpa had been there. Almost all the guests had arrived, and onlytwo seats remained empty.

Nancy glanced and found that the remaining ones belonged to her and Nicholas.

It seemed that he had yet to arrive.

Nancy came down. Jacob was delighted and took her hand. “Nancy, come here and sit next to me.”

“Okay, Grandpa.”

Nancy nodded obediently and sat down next to Jacob.

At this point, Jacob saw the vacant seat next to Nancy. Displeased, he immediately frowned and asked,“Where is he? He is still not here. What is he busy with?”

Nancy smiled and grabbed Jacob’s arm. She replied sweetly, “Grandpa, you’ve wronged my husband.There really is something urgent happened in the company that he had to go.”

“We all know that Grandpa’s birthday is the most important thing, but if something happens to thecompany, Grandpa won’t be happy either. That is the hard work of your whole life.”

After Nancy finished speaking, Jacob’s face relaxed a lot.

“You know how to talk. That kid can make me furious as soon as he opens his mouth.”

Across the round table, Alice watched Nancy and Jacob talking. She looked furious when Nancycoaxed Jacob to smile.

Especially when she found out that the woman was the same person she had just pushed into theswimming pool, she became even more furious.

Yvette tugged at Alice’s clothes. “Alice, who is that? I’ve never seen her before. Why did she suddenlysit next to your grandpa?”

“Look at you. You are sitting thousands of miles away from your grandpa. You’re so stupid. Such agood seat so close to Grandpa. You can talk to him if you sit there. Why don’t you sit there? You let anoutsider take advantage of it.”

Alice felt wronged. “Mom, don’t talk nonsense. How do you know I didn’t go to take that seat?”

“What do you mean?” Yvette sensed something was wrong.

“After replaceing out where my grandpa’s seat was, I immediately sat beside him and waited. As a result,my grandpa sent me away as soon as he came, saying that it was someone else’s, and asked me to sithere.”

“Just admit that you’re stupid. Isn’t there another seat next to Grandpa?”

After Yvette finished speaking, she stared at the seat on the other side of Jacob.

Alice pouted and said impatiently, “Mom, what do you know? That’s Nicholas’ seat. Do you dare

to sit there?”

“Speaking of Nicholas, why hasn’t he come? How could he be late on his grandpa’s birthday? Let metell you….

Just when she was halfway through her words, Uncle Joe ran over happily. “Young Master is back.

At the next moment, Nicholas appeared at the entrance of the hall. He wore the black suit in themorning, walked through tables and seats, and finally walked to Jacob and sat on his left side.

Nancy was stunned.

Why was he alone?

Didn’t he bring Madelline with him?

As soon as Nicholas arrived, lunch started.

Although Jacob always seemed to criticize Nicholas on the surface, he still favored this grandson.

3/4

In addition, Nicholas was the only grandson he approved. Of course, he would spoil Nicholas.

At the banquet, Nancy ate without appetite. There were some questions on her mind, where isMadelline? Didn’t they come together?

Would Nicholas call Madelline out after the banquet was over and the guests left?

The phone rang. Nancy looked at it. It was a WhatsApp message from Nicholas: “What are you.thinking about so absorbedly? Eat properly.

Nancy replied, “I’m thinking about Madelline.”

Nicholas replied: “?”

Nancy didn’t hold back and asked: “Didn’t you bring her here? Why didn’t she come in?”

“Eat properly. Your little brain is just full of messy thoughts.”

“When did I say I would bring her here?”

“Do you think you are stupid or I am stupid?”

Nancy was speechless.

He really didn’t hesitate to seize every opportunity to talk harshly to her.

Halfway through the meal, Alice couldn’t bear it any longer and said, “Nicholas, where is your wife?You’ve been married for two years, but I, as a younger sister, have never seen your wife. Today isGrandpa’s 80th birthday. Why doesn’t she come out and show her face?”

Nicholas glanced at her coldly. His eyes were full of warning.

If Alice were sensible, she would keep her mouth shut obediently.

But she was an idiot. She kept pressing on it, “Nicholas, your wife is too ignorant. As expected ofsomeone from a humble family. She doesn’t respect Grandpa at all. She is better kept under the table.”

“We are just curious. It doesn’t matter she’s fat, thin, beautiful, or ugly. Let us see her so we can fulfillour curiosity!”

Seeing this, Yvette added, “That’s right, Nicholas. Your sister is right. I really want to take a look at her.I heard that she was the one who insisted on marrying you. Tsk tsk, she doesn’t have any.

Shame

Nicholas suddenly put down the spoon in his hand and shot his cold stare at Yvette before she finishedspeaking.
