Chapter 91 Picking Up Nancy Under Heavy Rain
Nancy felt she heard Nicholas’ voice last night.
However, the bed next to her was neat. It didn’t look like anyone had slept on it.
She reached out to touch it, and it was ice cold.
She must be overthinking. It might just be an illusion.
When Nancy went downstairs, Nicholas had already gone to work. A sumptuous breakfast was prepared on the table.
When they just got married, Nicholas hired a few nannies. However, Nancy didn’t like strangers at home. Hence, they were only hired as part-time nannies.
They came regularly to clean the house and cook.
They would leave after finishing their work.
But today, Peggy hadn’t left yet.
While Nancy was eating breakfast, a strong aroma came from the kitchen. It seemed someone was cooking in the kitchen.
At this time, Peggy came out. “Mrs. Sallow, please eat some more. You’re too skinny.”
“Mr. Sallow told me to prepare a sumptuous meal daily, especially some nutritious. to eat more and take good care of your body.
“Did he personally give the order?” Nancy was a little surprised.
soup. You have
Peggy nodded repeatedly. “Yeah, Mr. Sallow even gave me a raise. He asked me to serve you well and fulfil all needs.”
“I see.” Nancy nodded.
Afterwards, Nancy drank a bowl of soup under Peggy’s advice.
After breakfast, Nancy felt bored, so she picked up a book. At this time, she received a call from the hospital.
The hospital informed her that she had passed the interview and could start working there on Monday.
After hanging up the phone, Nancy was thrilled.

She opened WhatsApp and typed: “I passed the interview at the hospital. I’m so happy.”
However, when she saw “Nicholas” name on WhatsApp, she instantly deleted all the words.
Then, she put down her phone.
Maybe she was used to it.
That was why she was excited when she heard the news and immediately wanted to share it with
Nicholas.
She needed to get rid of this habit.
After changing her clothes, Nancy went to her mother’s cemetery.
It’s been a while, and she couldn’t wait to share this good news with her mother.
Her mother surely would be happy for her.
When she got out of the car, Nancy received a call from Nicholas.
Nancy picked up the call and just kept silent.
Nicholas took the initiative to speak. “I heard you’ve passed the interview at the hospital. Congratulations!”
“Thank you!”
Nancy replied politely. They seemed particularly distant.
They acted as if there was an invisible barrier between them.
Previously, Nancy usually tried to remove any barriers between them and walk through them.
Nevertheless, this time, Nancy was too tired.
Nancy had no more courage to remove the barriers and walk through them.
“When do you start working?”
“On Monday.”
After replying, Nancy continued, “If nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
Nicholas said hurriedly, “Wait, I still have something to say!”
“I’ll go home to pick up some documents later and have lunch with you.”

“Oh.” Nancy responded calmly and continued, “You can let Lynn come to get it.”
“I think that is inconvenient. It’s in our bedroom.”
“It’s okay, I don’t mind.”
Hearing this, Nicholas immediately gripped his phone tightly.
Something was running amok in his heart.
I don’t mind?
She said she didn’t mind.
That was their bedroom. When they got married, Nancy wouldn’t even let the nanny enter their bedroom. She always cleaned it by herself.
But now, she even didn’t mind a guy entering their bedroom.
Nicholas didn’t dare to think further about why Nancy acted this way.
“But I mind.” Nicholas lowered his voice and almost gritted his teeth.
“Oh.”
Nancy was still very calm. She looked at the time and said, “If that’s the case, I’ll go back soon. Let me know where you put the document, and I’ll hand it to Lynn.”
Nicholas frowned. “You’re not at home? Are you outside?”
“Yeah, I came to the cemetery to see my mother. I haven’t seen her in a long time.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be home before noon.”
After saying that, Nancy hung up the phone without waiting for Nicholas’ reply.
Nicholas was lost in thought when he heard the beeping sound.
At this time, a weather notification appeared on his phone.
Lynn also came in to report, “Mr. Sallow, it may be heavy rain soon. Should we rearrange the schedule?”
Nicholas nodded. “Yes, please do that.”
“By the way, please get me a bigger umbrella.”
A car could only reach outside the cemetery and couldn’t go inside.

Moreover, her mother’s tombstone was quite far from the entrance. She would need an umbrella if it rained heavily.
After going out for a while, Lynn returned and immediately handed Nicholas the umbrella.
Nicholas took the umbrella and went directly to the elevator. At the same time, he ordered, “Please cancel all the appointments for the afternoon schedule.”
“Mr. Sallow, are you going out?” Lynn finally realized.
