Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235 

Nathalie was always grateful to Cameron, and her way of showing it was through a steady stream of small, thoughtful gestures. From that moment on, she took special care of Cameron. 

Whenever he came home, she was the first to hand him his shoes. If he got drunk, she learned to whip up a mean hangover breakfast. When he was laid up with a fever, and the housemaids were tiptoeing around to avoid him, Nellie, unafraid of getting sick, was right there by his side, tending to him day and night. After his car accident, she even made her way to a chapel to pray earnestly to keep him safe. 

The housemaids couldn’t help but tease her. “Nellie, you’re so good to Mr. Dawson. Are you head over heels for him?” 

Nellie turned as red as a beet, shaking her head like a rattle. “How could I have such crazy ideas? We’re in totally different worlds; there’s no way we could ever be together.” 

Still skeptical, the maids pressed her, and Nellie finally clarified, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m just paying back Cameron for helping 

ith my education.” 

Nellie was always a kid who always paid back kindness, so the maids bought her explanation. 

But her endless attentiveness towards Cameron lit a spark of curiosity in his proud, stubborn heart. 

Every woman who crossed his path seemed to have hidden agendas. Could Nellie, a girl from a humble background, have any different intentions? 

“Nellie, do you have a thing for me?” Cameron asked one sunny afternoon, lounging in a black robe with the collar open, showing off his lean neck. He cornered Nellie as she brought him tea. 

With her innocent, starry eyes, Nellie gazed at Cameron and replied, “Of course, I like you, Cameron.” 

Her straightforwardness only muddled Cameron’s thoughts more. He wondered if she really got what he meant by ‘like.’ Cameron, always in a rush, didn’t want to face the idea of rejection, so he convinced himself her affection was romantic. 

From then on, he tossed a few flirty remarks her way here and there. 

“Nellie, what do you like about me?” 

“Even though you’re from a fancy family, you don’t act all high and mighty. You’re all about working hard and making your own way,” Nellie gushed, her words flowing like a never–ending river. 

Cameron was taken aback. Was her admiration just about his independence and hard work? She’s not like other girls who were all about 

and connections…

as over the moon. “Thank you, Cameron.” 

dangled a carrot of hope in front of her. But as time went on, that promise seemed to fade away, like thunder that rumbles and vanishes in the vast sky. 

Maybe Cameron had tossed it aside without a second thought. 

Perhaps Nellie was too young, too naive about matters of the heart, or maybe as a girl just trying to get by, she was all about bettering herself for the future. So she missed all of Cameron’s not–so–subtle hints. 

However, it seemed Cameron had run out of patience. He started making more direct moves towards Nellie.
