Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 130

The ringtone barely got going before it was cut off. It was obvious—Nellie had hung up on him on purpose. Cameron was so mad he was about to block her, but with his company about to go public, her timing with this divorce talk was like a punch to the gut. He had to suck it up and deal with it.

He called her again, letting it ring and ring until Nellie finally picked up. Her voice was a mix of irritation and impatience, full of rejection and disdain—just like how he'd treated her in the past.

"Cameron, there's nothing left for us to discuss. Just leave me alone..."

It felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over him. "Nellie, haven't you always wanted to talk about the divorce?"

Nellie hesitated, resisting the urge to hang up again. "This is a critical time for the Dawson family’s new company going public. Do you know how much your antics could damage my career?"

Nellie's voice was icy. "I remember the prenup we signed. If we divorce, I don’t get a cent of your wealth. So why should I care about your career?"

Cameron felt like he'd been punched in the chest. The girl who once loved him to pieces now didn't give a damn about his future. When did she change so much?

"Nellie, I agree to the divorce. But I’ve got two conditions."

Nellie wanted nothing more than to wash her hands of Cameron. "What are they?"

He hesitated. "We can divorce, but the announcement has to wait until after the company goes public. Until then, you’ll have to keep up appearances as my loving wife."

Nellie almost bit her tongue in frustration.

Cameron, sensing her thoughts, said, "You know that without my agreement, a contested divorce could drag on for two years."
