Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 120

Nellie was momentarily taken aback. She couldn’t help but reach over and ruffle his hair. “Did I accidentally bring home a goofy puppy?” she teased. Nathan let out a hearty laugh.

He drove Nellie to a charming villa, and just as he was helping her out of the car, a swarm of paparazzi suddenly appeared, snapping away like mad.

Thinking quickly, Nellie switched things up and pretended to support Nathan instead. Her face was a mask of tension and worry. She dreaded the media spinning tales about her and Nathan. Her reputation was already shot, so more gossip didn’t faze her, but Nathan's spotless name was on the line.

Nathan noticed the subtle shift in Nellie's demeanor and was moved by her thoughtful and genuine nature. His gaze turned sharp as he glared at the paparazzi, his age-defying intensity showing through. “Is Benjamin that desperate to cast himself as the Rowland family heir?”

Nellie was confused, “Now that he’s got dirt on us, Nathan, do you have a plan if Benjamin tries to stir up trouble?”

“Don’t sweat it, Nellie,” Nathan reassured her. “Handling someone like Benjamin is a walk in the park.”

Nellie exhaled, feeling relieved. Whatever Nathan said, she trusted him completely.

Nathan settled Nellie into his private villa, where Lizzy was eagerly waiting to welcome her.

Later, Nathan got home, only to be called into the study by Mason.

Mason was livid. “Your brother told me you’ve been keeping Mrs. Dawson close, and now you've upset Cameron?”

Nathan shot Benjamin a disdainful look, a sarcastic grin tugging at his lips. “You're quite the messenger. You work faster than a carrier pigeon. I think I’ll have to make better use of you.”

Benjamin was left speechless.

Nathan chuckled, “Grandfather, don’t judge before you know the full story.”

Mason squinted his eyes. “What are you getting at?”

Nathan explained, “Just wait and see, Grandfather. Nellie will soon prove herself, and you’ll realize she’s a hidden treasure.”

Seeing the determined look on his grandson’s face, Mason hesitated. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally advised, “If she truly has untapped potential, keeping her is fine. Just don’t escalate your issues with Cameron.”

“Don’t worry, Grandfather. I’ve got my priorities straight,” Nathan assured him.

Mason nodded. “That’s the way to go.”
