Chapter 355
Nellie felt like each monent was dragging on forever as she waited. Instead of hearing back from Cameron, she stumbled upon Greta’s smug social media post. [He peeled shrimp for me. I’m so lucky.]
The post included a photo showing Cameron’s hand still sporting his wedding ring. Nellie’s tears came rushing out like a dam breaking. “Cameron, how could you be so heartless?”
With her body trembling, Nellie took some fever meds, even though she knew she shouldn’t because of her condition. That day, she collapsed on the floor, and it wasn’t until the wee hours that she finally came to. Oddly enough, while her fever had broken and she felt stronger, the pain in her back and stomach only got worse.
She hadn’t even made it to the doctor before Cameron waltzed in during the early morning hours. By then, Nellie had pulled herself together and was perched on the couch.
Cameron glanced at her with a voice full of irritation. “Your sister said you were trying to reach me? What’s up?”
Nellie replied with a cold, “Nothing.” She had completely lost any faith she had in him.
Cameron could sense the annoyance in her voice. Frustrated, he tossed his coat onto the couch. “What’s your deal? Why have you been up all night, acting like a lunatic? Did I ask you to wait for me? No, I didn’t. So if you’re not getting any sleep and just sitting here hoping I’ll come home, that’s on you.”
Nellie shot him a sorrowful glance. Her eyes were filled with such deep disappointment that it felt like a nuclear meltdown.
She remained silent, seemingly too drained to argue, and slowly headed upstairs to the bedroom. There, she packed up her belongings, moved them to the guest room, and thus began her stint of living apart from Cameron.
Cameron thought she was being completely irrational. “What kind of behavior is this?” he fumed, struggling to keep from cursing.
Once a crack forms, trust starts crumbling. From that point on, every time Cameron didn’t come home, Nellie would catch glimpses of him and Greta flaunting their affection on social media.
On Nellie’s birthday, Cameron and Greta jetted off to Malta. When Nellie was sick, Cameron and Greta were busy attending some fancy. event. When Nellie was short on cash, Cameron was busy showering Greta with luxury gifts.
Nellie finally made up her mind to let go of this heartbreakingly flawed relationship. One day, she went to Cameron’s office.
There, she found Cameron and Greta, laughing and chatting as they walked out. Cameron spotted Nellie and asked, irritated, “What are you doing here?”
Nellie said, “I need to talk to you, but since you won’t come home, I had no choice but to come here.”
Cameron replied, “I’ve got a meeting soon. Can we talk later at home?”
Nellie blocked his path. “This won’t take long.”
She handed him the divorce papers. “Just sign here.”
Cameron opened them and was dumbfounded by the divorce agreement. “What’s this all about?” He couldn’t believe Nellie was really ready to leave him.
“I’m not making a scene. I genuinely want a divorce. I’m stepping aside for Greta.”
Cameron snapped at that. “I’ve been nothing but honest with you. Are you out of your mind?”
“Really?” Nellie stepped forward and yanked Greta’s diamond necklace off. “Is this the birthday gift you got her?”
Cameron said, “It was her birthday. What’s wrong with gifting her something as her friend?”
Nellie then pulled off her own necklace. “And this is the birthday gift you gave me?”
Hers was just a mini version of Greta’s, made with cheaper materials.
