Seven Days Seven Nights (Nicholas and Nancy) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Become Stranger after Divorce 

“Okay, Nancy. Since you’ve made up your mind, I respect your decision.” 

Jacob reached out and pointed tremblingly at the cabinet not far away. “There is a combination box in the cabinet’s bottom drawer on the right. Take it out.” 

“Okay.” 

Nancy walked over, carefully removed the combination box from the cabinet, and carried it to Jacob. 

“Grandpa, do you remember the password?” 

“The password is Grandma’s birthday.” 

“Grandma?” Nancy was very unfamiliar with this address. She didn’t have any memory of her. 

Because when she entered the Sallows, Grandma had already passed away due to illness. 

“Nicholas remembers. You go find him to open it,” Jacob reminded. 

“Okay. Thank you, Grandpa.” 

Nancy went out worriedly, holding the combination box in her arms. 

No one at the door. 

It seemed that Nicholas had left. 

Nancy was about to call him when another wave of nausea suddenly hit her. 

Her whole body was weak. She almost had no strength left in her body after vomiting. 

She staggered back to the room with the combination box in her arms. Then, she lay down on the 

sofa. 

She took out his cell phone and called Nicholas, who was currently on the phone. 

She put down her phone and stared blankly at the combination box. At that moment, a very shameful thought suddenly appeared in her mind. 

What if… 

If she told Nicholas that Jacob wouldn’t agree to their divorce. 

Or she said that she didn’t get the certificate, so they didn’t have to divorce.

What if Madelline left in a fit of anger? 

Can they go back to the past when no one bothered them? 

When the baby is born, they will be the happiest family, won’t they? 

At this moment, the door was opened suddenly. 

Nancy immediately put the combination box behind her and hid it. 

Nicholas walked over in a suit and stood in front of her. 

“Are you done talking?” He asked in a low voice steadily. 

Nancy smelled the cigarette smoke on his body and couldn’t help frowning. “You smoke?” 

“Yeah, I smoked a little. How was the chat with Grandpa? Did he agree?” 

“No.” 

Nancy subconsciously shook her head. 

“I’ll talk to Grandpa.” 

Wait a minute. Nancy stopped him. “Do you regret marrying me?” 

“There’s no regret. It was the best choice at that time.” 

His face was cold. His tone was the same as usual, even when he said these words. 

But those eyes were as deep as a pool. 

Nancy felt that she couldn’t see through him. 

“After the divorce, can we still meet, eat, and be like old friends?” Nancy suddenly looked into his eyes and asked him seriously. 

Nicholas reached out and caressed her hair. “What are you thinking in your little head? After the divorce, we no longer have the identity of husband and wife. You are still Grandpa’s favorite granddaughter and part of the Sallows.” 

“The Sallows?” 

“Well, Grandpa originally intended to adopt you as his granddaughter, but then you married me and naturally became his granddaughter-in-law. Even though we are divorced, we will still eat at the same table and chat at family dinners. As for friend… 

After being struck dumb momentarily, he continued, “I won’t treat you as a friend”

As Nancy clenched her hands tightly, she heard his voice again, “Be my younger sister that I can take care of and protect.” 

Younger sister? 

Hmph! 

Nancy never thought she would be called a “sister” after two years of marriage. 

It broke her heart. 

Nicholas, you’re too cruel. 

She never wanted to be his friend and hated this so-called “sister” very much. 

It’s ridiculous. Extremely ironic. 

“No need, Nicholas. After the divorce, I hope we can be as if we have never met. When we meet again, you don’t know me, and I don’t know you.” Nancy gritted her teeth and endured the heartache. 

In her heart, being a stranger was better than being this little sister. 

As for friends, she didn’t need that 

People couldn’t be friends with someone they had truly loved. 

“Nancy, do you have to be so heartless? Even if we divorce, you will still be the granddaughter Grandpa loves the most.” Nicholas frowned deeply. 

Nancy smiled. “As you said. It’s between me and Grandpa, so I will deal it with Grandpa. Of course, I am still Grandpa’s granddaughter, but you and I have nothing to do with each other 

anymore.” 

“As for the younger sister you mentioned, there’s no need. If I were Madelline, I wouldn’t want an ex-wife to be sister-in-law either.” 

After that, Nancy took out the combination box from behind and handed it to Nicholas, 

“What’s this?” 

“Grandpa didn’t quite agree, but he said he respected my decision. Our documents are all in it. Grandpa said the password is Grandma’s birthday, you know it.” 

Nicholas took the combination box and suddenly became depressed. 

Of course, he knew his grandma’s birthday. 

3/5 

Because the day she died was also her birthday.
