Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 162

Frankie chimed in, “Cameron, since Nathan came to us with a request, we can't possibly let him down. He's the only gift our beloved daughter left us. We hope you understand.”

Since the situation was laid out so plainly, Cameron knew it would be in poor taste to push any further, so he left, feeling disappointed. He left the McCoy estate in a bit of a slump.

If his luxury brand couldn't land a spot in the McCoy family's building, it would be seen as a step down. He'd have to go for more budget-friendly pricing, and starting off on a limited note like that would make the journey ahead even tougher. Unless, of course, he could snag the top-notch production team from the Rowland family to give his brand a boost.

On the other hand, Nathalie left the McCoy estate with a heavy heart. By the time Nathan made it back to her studio, he found her slumped over her computer desk, looking distant and lost.

“What’s up?” Nathan asked, sitting across from her. He reached out to feel her forehead, making sure she wasn’t coming down with something, and felt relieved when she wasn't.

Nathalie looked up, her deep brown eyes filled with regret. “Nathan, I didn’t make a great impression earlier. Mrs. McCoy didn’t even check out my work and just sent me away.”

Nathan couldn’t help but laugh a little. His grandmother, born into a family with generations of business savvy, had a knack for commerce that was hard to beat. But she had one Achilles' heel—her boundless love for her daughter.

After her daughter passed away at a young age, Frankie always blamed herself, thinking it was her absence that led her daughter to be swayed by a no-good man, ending in her untimely death. Frankie poured all her unspent love and guilt onto Nathan.

For Nathan, she was always ready to grant any wish.

Nathan grinned. “That’s why you must get ready and come to the Rowland family estate with me.”

Being the workaholic she is, Nathalie slung her laptop bag over her shoulder and was ready to roll.

“Let’s do this.”

Meanwhile, over at the Rowland family’s estate, in their garden pavilion, Benjamin and Cameron sat sipping tea while the elegant maids attended to them with grace.
