Rekindling Her Affection (Sabrina and Nelson) novel Chapter 31

"It has nothing to do with Gerald." Sabrina didn't want to drag anyone else into it.

"Then I don't understand. If you want a divorce so badly, why did you drug me?"

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't?"

"No."

What else could she say, then? She turned away from him.

Nelson was dissatisfied with her answers. His hands became restless.

Sabrina struggled, but Nelson effortlessly rendered her immobile. In the end, she gave up.

Nelson chuckled, leaning close to her neck. Propping himself up, he gazed at her under the soft glow of the yellowish light. He was captivated by her stubborn yet alluring expression.

"I won't force you. One day, you'll come to ask for me."

"Dream on. That day will never come." Irritated, she covered herself with the blanket.

Nelson remained silent.

Did she think he couldn't find a way to control her? She seemed so arrogant.

…

Sabrina's phone rang at 6:00 am the next day.

There was an urgent work matter, so she handled it while getting up.

It also woke Nelson up. Lying in bed with his arm under his head, he watched her bustle around without getting up.

Sabrina packed her bags for the business trip before saying to him, "Remember to close the door when you leave."

Nelson leaned against the head of the bed, bending one leg. "Is that all?"

"What?"

Nelson raised an eyebrow. She had clung to him all night, yet treated him so coldly once she woke up.

"How long will you be gone?"

"Not sure."

She was not sure? Or did she just not want to tell him?

"I'll wait for you."

Sabrina felt that his statement meant something profound.

She didn't think much about it. She needed to make a trip to Malma. There were issues between a partner and a distributor that she needed to resolve.

…

That night, Nelson sent her a text, "Gerald asked who's the son of a bitch was that broke up with you. How should I answer?"
