Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 139

The following day, Cameron arrived at the registration office bright and early, but despite all his waiting, Nellie was a no-show.

Matt pondered aloud, "Boss, I reckon Mrs. Dawson isn't really serious about the divorce. Maybe she just wanted to get a rise out of you by bringing it up, but she never thought you'd actually go along with it. Now she's probably gone into hiding."

Cameron’s eyes were shadowed with confusion. He was baffled by Nellie's actions. She was the one pushing for the divorce, but here she was, not showing up. What was her game?

Instead of Nellie, it was Greta who showed up, bursting out of a cab in a whirlwind of panic. "Cameron, stop waiting. Nellie... she’s not coming."

Cameron smirked, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Nellie, you think you can just play me like that?"

Frustrated, he barked orders at Matt, "Go find Nellie and bring her here. This marriage ends today."

"Yes, sir," the assistant replied with determination.

Cameron didn’t catch the anxious look in Greta’s eyes. Once Matt was out of earshot, Greta confessed, "Cameron, Nellie is stalling because she found out about our secret..."

Cameron’s expression turned stormy. He had always been so careful and never crossed boundaries with Greta for fear of tarnishing his reputation and ruining his promising future. But a month ago, in a moment of anger towards Nellie and under the influence of too much alcohol, he had let things go too far with Greta, leaving behind undeniable evidence of his infidelity.

Greta’s health was fragile, and Cameron hadn’t wanted her to go through the ordeal of childbirth. However, Greta pleaded with tears in her eyes to keep the baby, and even the doctor warned that an abortion might make future pregnancies difficult. In the end, Cameron agreed to keep the child.

He had hoped that by quickly divorcing Nellie, he and Greta could get married fast, and they could pass off any early birth as premature, hiding his wrongdoing. But he hadn’t counted on Nellie being so well-informed.
