Seven Days Seven Nights

Chapter 138 Sarah Knows They’re Divorcing

“Mom, Dad, what brings you back so suddenly?” Nancy asked, her voice tinged with panic.

“We have some matters to attend to and thought we’d have lunch here. You and Nicholas, on the other hand, came back without saying anything. If we had known earlier, we would have asked the kitchen to prepare some of your favorite food,” Sarah stated.

Nancy smiled and replied, “No need to trouble yourselves, Mom. It was a sudden decision, but don’t worry, nothing significant happened. We’ll be leaving shortly, so we won’t stay for lunch.”

“It’s just one meal; it won’t take much time. You two wait here. I’ll have the kitchen prepare more food,” Sarah insisted and headed towards the kitchen.

“Mom…” Nancy immediately stopped her, saying, “It’s really not necessary. Nicholas and I have something important to attend to.”

With that, Nancy reached out and gently tugged at Nicholas’ hand.

Nicholas knew she was seeking help.

Under normal circumstances, he would gladly oblige, but this time, a selfish thought crossed his mind. If Mom finds out about our plan to divorce, she’ll help me keep Nancy, right? We won’t have to end our marriage. will we?

“Whatever it is you need to do, can’t it wait for an extra hour? Why the rush?” Sarah asked.

Nancy was never good at lying, so she smiled brilliantly, attempting to conceal her inner turmoil with her smile.

“Mom, they close at noon, so Nicholas and I thought it was best to get there in the morning.” Nancy smiled radiantly and spoke confidently, leaving no room for doubt.

Sarah sighed, and her mood plummeted. “Well, in that case, go ahead. I won’t keep you any longer.”

Approaching Nicholas, Nancy held his arm as they turned to leave. Suddenly, Albert called out, “Nancy…”
