Rekindling Her Affection (Sabrina and Nelson) novel Chapter 18

Justin, who met up with Nelson at Club Felicity, wasn't at all surprised to learn that Nelson had postponed the divorce.

"You stood her up at the courthouse that day because you were hesitant. Wasn't this incident a great opportunity for you to get to know Sabrina better?

"You wouldn't want to be laughed at for keeping up a paper marriage for three years, without once sleeping with your hot wife, would you?"

Cigarette between lips, Nelson glanced at Justin from across the poker table. "I don't want to be a laughingstock. How about you take up that 'great opportunity' instead?"

Laughing out loud, Justin remarked, "You wouldn't have been able to sleep with her if you didn't have an ounce of interest in her."

Falling silent, Nelson focused on the game of poker.

"Nelson, just get along with Sabrina. She's a decent woman."

Nelson arched his brow with complicated feelings. Snorting, he said, "Did you just call her a decent woman after she drugged me?"

"I don't think she'd ever do that." Ronaldo had trust in Sabrina's character. "Nelson, this must be a misunderstanding."

"And does that matter?" snapped Nelson. He'd play along if that was what she wanted.

Nelson stayed at Club Felicity until 10:30 pm. Tipsy and smoking a cigarette, he texted Sabrina, "Pick me up."

Sabrina, ready for bed, ignored his text.

Nelson, despite not knowing Sabrina well, seemed to have foreseen her reaction. He threatened, "Sabrina Wyatt, I would show up if I were you."

She instantly knew that he was threatening not to hand over the brooch.

Nelson was not a man of word. He stood her up at the courthouse. Therefore, she had all reason to suspect he might not fulfill his promise to hand over the brooch even if she picked him up from the club that night.

Refusing to allow him to threaten her with the brooch, she switched off her phone.

Resting on the couch in the private lounge, Nelson smirked when he did not receive a reply from Sabrina. He thought, "Sabrina Wyatt, you're really fascinating!"
