Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 339

Nathalie comforted him, "Only those who betray their true feelings get let down. Nathan, you've been so wonderful to me, and I'll spend my life being just as wonderful to you."

Nathan grinned. "So, we're both on the same page?"

Nathalie sensed something wasn't quite right but brushed it off. "Of course."

Meanwhile, Cameron felt like his heart was being eaten alive by a thousand ants. He stumbled back home, feeling utterly defeated. Sensing his gloom, Greta started fussing over him, making tea and cooking dinner.

Her eagerness came from a place of insecurity. Kristina's actions, in a way, were an attempt to keep Cameron from being with Greta, and she feared he might leave her to honor Kristina's wishes.

"Greta," Cameron suddenly called out.

Startled, Greta dropped to her knees in front of him. "Cameron, I beg you, don't break up with me. I know your parents aren't fond of me, but I really love you. I'll change and be a good wife. I’ll cook and clean for you."

Cameron reached out, gently stroking her cheek. "People say you're the source of all my troubles, but you've been the kindest soul to me. No matter how dire things got, you never left. Greta, don't worry. I won't ever give up on you. Even if the world turns against me, I'll stand by you. I trust my heart; you're a good woman and deserve all the love I can give."

When Cameron got the message, he drove like a man possessed to the crematorium, running several red lights in his haste. But he was too late. He missed saying goodbye to Kristina and only saw Griffin holding his mom's urn.

Fueled by anger, Cameron confronted Griffin. "Dad, you went through all that trouble to take Mom's body. I thought you'd give her a grand goodbye. But instead, you just quietly cremated her? How could you do that to Mom?"

Griffin's face was dark as he faced the furious Cameron. "Your mom didn't die from illness or a natural cause. Do you think her death is something to broadcast to the world?"

Cameron stared at Griffin in disbelief. "Why did she choose to die? Don't you see it? Sure, I wasn't the best son, but were you a good husband? You cheated, had a mistress and an illegitimate child. To elevate your mistress, you blamed Mom for my mistakes, and pushed her to divorce you."
