Sabrina had no expectations of Nelson giving her any respect.
He could disregard her sincere feelings, even degrade them. That was because she felt she deserved it, having once loved him.
But she felt that Nelson had gone too far. She contemplated how heartbroken Cheryl would be if she witnessed her daughter's marriage in such a state.
"Mr. Nash would like to meet the owner of the brooch," Nelson added.
Sabrina insisted, "I'm not going."
If she went, it would only make it easier for Nelson to hurt her. She was no longer the Sabrina who used to come running whenever he called, who waited eagerly for him to notice her.
"You should go back," she uttered coldly.
"Let's handle each issue separately."
Sabrina was infuriated and snapped, "When have you ever handled each issue separately? Aren't you the one who constantly changes your mind? Why are you so shameless? Do you really think having multiple wives in this day and age is acceptable?"
"What do you mean by having multiple wives? You're blaming me for not bringing up the divorce. It was an accident, wasn't it? It happened to you once and another time to me. Now, we're even."
After all this time, they finally broached the subject of divorce.
Sabrina examined Nelson's expression as he said that. He seemed indifferent, as if he were talking about something as insignificant as the weather.
"Nelson Tucker, your words are incredibly harsh. The accident happened to me, and I didn't ask for your help."
Things would not have gotten so complicated if they had just gone their separate ways.
Nelson stared at Sabrina coldly and said nothing more.
A man could tolerate when a beautiful woman he was interested in was being temperamental, unreasonable, or defiant. However, it could quickly turn him off if she didn't know how to tone it down.
"Unfortunately, I was the one by your side. Not your beloved Gerald!"
There was a frostiness in Nelson's voice, signaling a warning.
