Rekindling Her Affection (Sabrina and Nelson) novel Chapter 60

Nelson remembered the auction day when Sabrina humbled herself. She wanted to repurchase the brooch at double the price.

Sabrina wanted to explain that it was a keepsake from her father. However, Nelson had interrupted her.

It was also the same day she said she would divorce him if he gave her the brooch.

Nelson looked at Sabrina.

Simon recounted Sabrina's father's interesting stories while she listened attentively. Her eyes sparkled like finely cut diamonds.

After taking their seats, Sabrina thanked Simon for sharing stories about her father from before he was married. She couldn't handle hard liquor. But upon learning Simon's love for drinking, she drank glass after glass with him.

As an experienced old man, Simon could see Sabrina's sincerity. He felt that she truly resembled her father.

Simon felt an instant connection with Sabrina. As her elder, he hesitated to continue drinking with her.

Thus, he turned to Nelson and asked, "Nel, why do you seem so distracted today?"

"I made a mistake," Nelson replied.

As he leaned back, he casually draped his arm over the back of Sabrina's chair and glanced down.

Simon understood.

"So, the injury on your face is from Sabrina?"

Nelson paused slightly and chuckled. After a few drinks, Sabrina had a flushed face and a dazed look in her eyes. She was evidently slightly inebriated.

"It's not her. She wouldn't hit anyone."

"Then you must've gotten into a fight," Simon said. But he was skeptical.

"They said you're undoubtedly the most well-mannered gentleman in high society. How could the most elegant, composed, and good-tempered gentleman get into a fight?"

Sabrina slowly turned to face them upon hearing this.

"Nelson's ill-tempered and petty. Mr. Nash, have you mistaken him for someone else?"

Simon burst out laughing.

Nelson glanced sideways at Sabrina as she innocently debunked him. He looked down and leaned closer toward her.

"I was exactly like that back in my 20s."

Sabrina rolled her eyes at him and turned to Simon.

"Mr. Nash, let me toast you again. It's been a real pleasure meeting you today."

It was a wonder that Sabrina could continue drinking despite being drunk.

Simon enjoyed the night as well. After chatting with Nelson for a while more, he prepared to leave.
