?Chapter 248:


    Without waiting for Belinda’s response, he was about to hang up as usual, but Belinda stopped him.


    “Mr. Nelson.” Belinda took a deep breath, gripping her phone tightly. “You remember tomorrow is Gillian’s birthday, but do you even know when mine is?”


    Belinda was actually born two days before Gillian, on the 15th, while Gillian’s birthday was on the 17th.


    Due to a mix-up, their official records had their birthdays switched. Belinda thought her birthday was on the 17th for the first seventeen years of her life. After the truth came out, although the official records couldn’t be changed, she started celebrating her birthday on the 15th. Gillian then began celebrating her birthday on the 17th.


    Despite celebrating Gillian’s birthday on the 15th for seventeen years, the Nelsons seemed to suffer from selective memory loss once the dates were switched back. They forgot the 15th was ever a birthday, recognizing only the 17th as the special day for their beloved Gillian.


    Confronted with Belinda’s question, Donovan paused. “Your birthday? Oh, that was yesterday.”


    His tone was indifferent. “What, you’re upset because we didn’t send birthday wishes? Your mother and I are busy. How can we remember if you don’t remind us?”


    Belinda responded with a bitterugh. “Is it really that you can’t remember, or just choose not to?”


    “Does it make a difference?” Donovan scoffed. “Alright, here’s your bted birthday wish. Happy birthday, okay? Now, make sure to bring Mr. Cox to…”


    “Mr. Nelson,” Belinda interrupted, taking a deep breath. “Aren’t you keeping up with the news from Nawrin? I’m no longer married to Kristopher.”


    There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before Donovan’sughter broke through, cold and mocking. “What’s this joke you’re telling? You and Mr. Cox are divorcing?” His voice sharp with disbelief, he recalled past promises. “Remember—when Mr. Cox first regained consciousness? He vowed never to forget your devotion after you cared for him for six months. He wouldn’t just turn you away…”

    Belinda cut in sharply. “I’m the one who asked for the divorce.”


    “Impossible!” Donovan interjected before she could exin further, hisughter cold and mocking once again. “You adore Mr. Cox, always ready to cater to his every need. You were even willing to marry him while he wasatose. How can you now im you want a divorce?” He paused, his tone bing cold. “You must be fabricating excuses just to avoid buying a gift for Gillian’s birthday and bringing Mr. Cox along. Your excuse isughably weak!”


    Belinda remained silent. Instead of responding, she sent a link to the news article about her divorce with Kristopher directly to Gillian. Almost instantly, an astonished exmation burst from the phone, “They really got divorced!”


    Belinda was unfazed by Gillian’s reaction. She had specifically sent the link to Gillian instead of Donovan because she knew Gillian and Kasey Nelson, Belinda’s biological mother, would be eavesdropping on Donovan’s call.


    “Did they really get divorced?” At that moment, the Nelsons, preupied with their phone call, abruptly turned their attention to Gillian. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at the news on the phone screen. “They actually got divorced!”


    “How did that happen?”
