Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 840

The clerk asked, "Do you have any kids?"

Cameron and Greta both went silent.

Maybe the memory of their lost child was still a bitter pill to swallow, lingering in their hearts.

With a compassionate tone, the clerk gently suggested, "Divorce can really shake up a child's world. So many kids end up depressed when their parents split. You should give this some serious thought!"

Cameron felt like he'd been hit by a bolt of lightning.

Nina came to mind, and he realized he’d always seen her as spoiled, bossy, even a bit hotheaded. But now, the clerk's words hit home.

Wasn't Nina's behavior a result of the chaos between him and her mom? And he was the one to blame.

Greta chimed in, "We don't have any kids together."

The clerk visibly relaxed, "No kids, huh? Well, if you can't make it work, then parting ways might be best."

Then added, "A lot of couples stick it out for the kids, dragging things on for years. You two are doing the opposite."

Cameron let out a self-deprecating laugh.

Yeah, he’d been a real jerk.

In a past life, not even a sweet and gentle wife and child could keep him from chasing his fantasy love.

It led to the tragic end of his wife and daughter.

In this life, they had come back with a score to settle.

He was in this mess because he deserved it.

"Have you sorted out the asset split?" the clerk asked again.

This time, Cameron and Greta nodded together.

The divorce went off without a hitch, and soon, they each walked out with their own set of papers.

Marriage certificates turned into divorce papers, like waking up from a dream where everything had been just an illusion.

"From here on out, let's be strangers."

Greta broke down, sobbing.

Little did she know, as Cameron turned, his eyes were already misty.

He wasn't as cold as his words made him seem. In his heart, he thought:

"Greta, let’s just leave it be. I can't offer you a good life anymore."

"I don't want you to see me at rock bottom. You were once the girl I truly loved."

The Dawson family had fallen apart.

The Stewart family’s main house was booted out of Stewart Enterprise.

The McCoy and Rowland families, two of the big four, lost key allies, like birds with clipped wings. Their business empires took a huge hit, no longer among the top dogs in the Capital. Now, they had to fight for scraps with the smaller businesses.
