As a passerby caught sight of the situation, her eyebrows shot up in surprise. Cameron felt his cheeks flush with embarrassment and turned to re at his assistant standing beside him.


    After all, Cameron had tasked his assistant with picking out a gift for Nellie. Little did he realize his assistant would be so careless about it.


    Keeping her cool, Nellie voiced her disappointment, "So, you didn''t choose the gift yourself, did you?"


    Feeling ashamed, Cameron reached for Nellie''s hand, but she pulled away. Cameron collected himself and gently pulled her aside. "Nel, I admit I messed up. I promise to make it right with a gift you''ll truly love." Nellie replied, "Cameron, let''s not kid ourselves. You don''t love me. You loved something inside me."


    Her words sliced through Cameron''s pretense like a razor-sharp de.


    Cameron was always worried about his image. He feared Nellie might reveal his unsavory motives. Yet, a part of him, still holding onto some semnce of conscience, knew he shouldn''t betray Nellie, especially after vowing to take care of her for life if she saved Greta. He tried to patiently soothe Nellie, "Nel, things are over between your sister and me. From now on, you''re my wife, and that won''t change. Let''s go home. I''m not divorcing you."


    Cameron thought not divorcing her was the greatest kindness he could offer. Little did he know, his stubbornness only made Nellie feel more trapped. She felt like there was no way out. Anxiety gripped her, and suddenly, everything went dark as she fainted.


    When she came to, Cameron was by her bedside, his eyes twinkling with a smile. "Nel, the doctor says you''re pregnant. You''re going to be a mom."


    Nellie''s hand slowly moved to her belly, realizing the timing couldn''t be worse. Yet, her love for children made her decide. "Cameron, are you not gonna divorce me?"


    Cameron nodded. "Nel, I promised to take care of you forever. I won''t break that promise."


    Nellie, feeling a pang of sadness, said, "This child is the only gift in this world that''s truly mine. So, I will have this baby."


    Her eyes locked with Cameron''s, a warning clear in her gaze. "If you don''t divorce me, then I want you to swear you''ll treat our baby right. If you don''t, may you lose everything and meet a grim fate."


    Without a moment''s pause, Cameron raised his hand and vowed, will treat this child well. If I ever harm our child, I deserve to lose everything and meet a grim fate."


    After swearing, he added, "Nel, this is my child too. How could I ever hurt them? You''re overthinking this."


    Nellie turned away, simply saying, "I need to rest now. Please, leave."


    With the baby on the way, Nellie found a sense of calm for a while.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Greta hadn''t stopped stirring trouble, but Nellie chose to ignore it, unwilling to fight or argue about Cameron anymore. Her heart was set on her child alone. Cameron''s love was so superficial and something she decided she no longer needed.


    Nellie''s newfound peace left Greta in a panic. She threw a fit at home. If Nellie has Cameron''s baby, her ce as Mrs. Dawson is secure. And my chances of moving up be slim!"


    Patrick tried tofort her and said, "Greta, calm down. It pains me to see you upset. Just tell me what you want me to do to make things better."


    "I want Nellie''s baby not to make it," Greta said, her eyes cold with malice.
