Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 74

After mulling it over, Nellie finally said, "If he won't agree to a divorce, I guess I'll have to take it to court."

Lizzy chimed in, "But dragging a divorce through the courts is a long slog. You hate him, but you'd have to see him constantly. Wouldn't that be pure agony?"

Suppressing a wave of physical and emotional discomfort, Nellie replied, "Maybe I should just sit him down and have a real talk."

She decided to call Cameron after 9 p.m., knowing he’d likely be free around then. The phone barely rang twice before it was picked up.

"Hello? Who's calling?" came a sweet voice that could only belong to Greta.

Nellie hesitated for a moment, then said, "Put Cameron on, please."

Greta seemed flustered, recognizing her sister’s voice. It took her a while to respond. Finally, she managed, "Nel, what do you need with Cameron?"

Nellie replied with a hint of sarcasm, "Do I need to check in with my sister every time I want to talk to my husband? Aren't you sticking your nose in a bit too far?"

Greta struggled to remain calm, "Nel, I was just asking. No need to get so worked up. Sorry, Cameron's in the shower. He’ll call you back soon."

Nellie warned, "Greta, if Cameron doesn't call me back, I'll post a recording of you two's little affair online tomorrow."

It seemed Nellie's threat hit home because it took less than half an hour for Cameron to call back.

As soon as Nellie answered, she was met with Cameron's angry voice, "Nellie, have you lost it? How dare you make your sister cry?"
