Chapter 130

suck it up and deal with it.

The ringtone barely got going before it was cut off. It was obvious-Nellie had hung up on him on purpose. Cameron was so mad he was about to block her, but with his company about to go public, her timing with this divorce talk was like a punch to the gut. He had to He called her again, letting it ring and ring until Nellie finally picked up. Her voice was a mix of irritation and impatience, full of rejection and disdain-just like how he'd treated her in the past.

"Cameron, there's nothing left for us to discuss. Just leave me alone..."

It felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over him. "Nellie, haven't you always wanted to talk about the divorce?"

Nellie hesitated, resisting the urge to hang up again. "This is a critical time for the Dawson family's new company going public. Do you know how much your antics could damage my career?" Nellie's voice was icy. "I remember the prenup we signed. If we divorce, I don't get a cent of your wealth. So why should I care about your career?"

Cameron felt like he'd been punched in the chest. The girl who once loved him to pieces now didn't give a damn about his future. When did she change so much?

"Nellie, I agree to the divorce. But I've got two conditions."

Nellie wanted nothing more than to wash her hands of Cameron. "What are they?"

He hesitated. "We can divorce, but the announcement has to wait until after the company goes public. Until then, you'll have to keep up appearances as my loving wife." Nellie almost bit her tongue in frustration.

Cameron, sensing her thoughts, said, "You know that without my agreement, a contested divorce could drag on for two years."

Swallowing her disgust, Nellie reluctantly agreed, "Fine."

Cameron was taken aback. "You agreed so quickly? Is being with me really that unbearable?"

Nellie couldn't even muster the energy to lift an eyebrow. "You're only just figuring that out? What's the second condition?"

Cameron seemed to gather all his courage. "Nellie, have a child with me."

Nellie felt like she'd heard the most ridiculous thing ever, almost causing her brain to short-circuit. "Cameron, are you serious? We're getting divorced, and you want me to have your child?" Cameron replied confidently, "I'll pay you. You won't lose out."

Nellie laughed in disbelief. "How much?" She wanted to know what price he put on their child.

"A million?"

She almost laughed herself silly. She was worth millions now, and his offer seemed laughable. But she couldn't flaunt her wealth before the divorce.

"Cameron-true to your capitalist nature. You married me, used my kidney to save your first love, and now you want to use my womb to complete your happy family with Greta?"

Her eyes suddenly filled with emotion, anger bubbling over. "Cameron, this is plain bullying. Are you trying to bleed me dry? You just won't stop until there's nothing left, huh?"

Cameron's face went pale-he felt a wave of panic, his words stumbling awkwardly, "Nel, it's not like that. I can't sleep with strangers, and we were married. I didn't know you were so against me. If the money's not enough, just name your price. I'll make it happen." Nellie's voice turned cold. "Cameron, do you know why I terminated my pregnancy?"
