Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 136

Nellie could tell Nathan was in one of his moods, so she quickly tried to calm him down. "Nathan, we can't keep pretending forever. Tomorrow, I'm divorcing Cameron, and then I can go back to being Nathalie."

Nathan's handsome features finally relaxed at her words.

As they walked into the restaurant, Nathan felt a slight warmth in the air and casually shrugged off his coat. Nellie acted like an eager helper, and rushed to grab it. With a resigned sigh, Nathan tossed it to her.

Just then, a woman barreled through, too absorbed in her phone call to watch her step, and accidentally sent Nellie sprawling to the ground. Nathan immediately stepped in front of the woman, his expression icy. She looked up, frowning, only to freeze when she saw Nathan, her mouth falling open in surprise.

"Apologize to the person you bumped into," Nathan ordered.

The woman, who seemed to recognize Nathan, grudgingly came back and muttered a reluctant, "Sorry."

Nellie thought the voice sounded familiar, and looking up, a flood of memories rushed back. She finally realized it was Fiona, Greta’s best friend.

In a past life, Nellie had met Fiona at a birthday party Cameron threw for Greta. Greta was draped in a luxurious gown courtesy of Cameron, while Nellie, in a cheap outfit, had come with her sick child to find Nathan. Fiona had mistaken her for a nanny.

At this moment, though, Fiona clearly didn’t recognize Nellie. After Nellie divorced Cameron, she wanted to cut ties with the past and avoid getting tangled up in Greta’s social network. She shook her head at Fiona, letting her off the hook.

"I'm fine. You can go."

Fiona, visibly relieved, picked up her phone and spoke to whoever that was urgently, "Keep your cool. Don't let those online trolls get to you. Remember, you're two months pregnant now. Girl, take care of the baby and use that leverage to cement your status in the Capital's elite circles. Don’t forget to help me out when you’ve made it..."

Nathan feigned disappointment. "You know, you're the first girl who's ever stood me up."

Nellie coaxed him, "I'll make it up to you with a nice dinner..."

When Nathan kept a serious face, Nellie sweetened the deal. "How about I warm your feet in the winter?"

Nathan finally broke into a smile. "Alright then, I'll drive you there."

At the Brown family estate, Nellie gazed at the duplex villa. Even though, in the Capital, such a villa couldn’t compete with the sprawling estates of the wealthy elite, to Nellie, who grew up in the slums, this place once felt like a slice of paradise.
