Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 156

Nellie suddenly made up her mind. "Nathan, I want to change my surname."

Nathan replied with a cheerful, "Sure thing."

But Nellie felt lost. "Whose last name should I take though?"

Nathan leaned in closer with his charming smile and held her hand tightly, "Why not take mine?"

As she pondered, she realized that, in both her past and present lives, Nathan had been her rock. If there was anything in the world she still cherished, it was Nathan.

"Alright," she agreed.

Nathan floored the gas pedal, and the luxury car shot off towards the city hall like an arrow.

Standing at the entrance, Nellie was deep in thought. She was about to lay the name to rest here. From this point forward, she would no longer be Nellie Brown.

Nathan seemed to sense her melancholy and, with genuine warmth, said, "I'll walk this new path with you."

Nellie nodded, her steps heavy as she made her way inside.

"Excuse me, sir, I want to change my name."

"Do you have your ID with you?"

Nellie handed over her ID, her hands trembling slightly.

"And what's the reason for the name change?" The clerk slid a form across the counter.

Nellie picked up the pen, her hand shaking as she wrote. "This name brings bad luck."

However, Cameron felt an inexplicable emptiness. He worried about his mother's reaction if she discovered their secret marriage. "Greta, let's keep this under wraps for now."

Greta was disappointed. "Are you saying we should keep our marriage a secret?"

Cameron explained, "My mom doesn't approve of us. If you want a peaceful life, we need to keep this from her. Otherwise, she'll make things as difficult for you as she did for Nellie."

"I just can't let my mom treat you like that," he added softly.

Those words melted Greta's heart. She smiled warmly. "Cameron, marrying you is enough to make me happy. A secret marriage it is, then. We've got all the time in the world."

However, Cameron's idea of a secret marriage differed from Greta's. He dropped her off at the Brown family home, and Greta, feeling a bit let down, said, "Cameron, we're married now. Shouldn't we live together?"

Cameron replied, "If we live together, it'll be impossible to keep it from my mom. Greta, for the sake of our future happiness, bear with this for now. Once I make my mark in business and reclaim the Dawson family inheritance, we'll be together for real."
