Rekindling Her Affection (Sabrina and Nelson) novel Chapter 77

Nelson gently ruffled Sabrina's hair.

However, his affectionate gesture made her feel uneasy.

At the age of 26, she was well past the age where she was easily blinded by love.

Sabrina wasn't as enthusiastic compared to Nelson's bright mood.

She wore a black V-neck loose sweater layered with a similarly colored undershirt. The minimalist look gave her a distant and elegant air, creating a sense of aloof beauty.

Nelson sat beside her and pulled her into his embrace.

He asked gently, "What's the matter? Is work troubling you?"

At that moment, he seemed like the perfect, caring husband, trying to soothe her and ease her worries.

"It's not about work. It's about you," she answered.

Nelson was momentarily stunned.

He lifted his gaze and looked at his beautiful wife, who smiled at him exactly as she had when he walked in earlier.

Since she was sitting on his lap, they were physically close to each other, and he noticed that her smile was superficial.

"Me? Are you upset because I didn't pick you up?" he asked.

"Let's eat first," Sabrina said, trying to get up.

However, Nelson gripped her waist.

As he looked up at her, the warmth in his eyes vanished. "Why? Are you afraid that you won't be able to eat after this?"

She met his gaze and ignored the coldness in his eyes. "Yes."

"What's bothering you again?" he asked.

Sabrina laughed at the word "again". If he had any love for her at all, he wouldn't have used that word.

At that moment, she felt the dinner was a waste of time.

"I want a divorce… again," she answered and mocked him for his choice of words.

In an instant, Nelson's expression turned cold.

He glanced at the food on the table and realized this was supposed to be their last meal together.

She was quite particular about customs.

Back in Panshaw, though she wasn't enthusiastic, she was at least obedient and let him hold her.

However, the idea that she may have only been cordial to him to stop Frederick from taking Abigail away infuriated him.

Nelson coldly stared at her as he picked her up and set her down on the dining table.

He gritted his teeth as he held onto her sides. "You really don't appreciate the affection I've shown you. Are you just going to discard me after using me?"

He pressed his body closer to her.

Sabrina gazed at him while taking a deep breath. "I can stay married, but I have one condition."

"Yeah?" Nelson replied.

"I won't divorce you if Pamela goes to jail," she said.

Nelson pursed his lips tightly. "So you knew about it. When did you find out?"

Sabrina's eyes reddened.

It was now confirmed that he had covered up Pamela's crimes and kept Amanda abroad.

There was a huge difference between suspecting it and hearing it confirmed.
