There was a reason why Nicholas entered the room. Actually, there are two reasons. One was that he wanted to show his status in front of Asher well that whatever the case, he was still this woman's husband. It was a fact that wouldn't change, at least for the next three years.
Asher could do whatever he wanted, but for the next three years, Abigail was his wife. So his cousin should just shut his mouth and stay put without speaking a single word.
The second reason was to confront his dear wife and scold her for hugging a random person just because he told her to destroy his garden. Was it too important to destroy things? Did she really think money grew on trees?
Even if Nicholas had too much money to waste, it didn't mean he would really waste it all because of her.
