Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 397

Cameron was taken aback for a moment, his gaze lingering thoughtfully on Nathalie. She was dressed to the nines today, and Greta's suspicions weren't totally off base.

Nathalie, though, had picked up Greta's ability to brew up a storm like a pro and defended herself with confidence. "Relax. I'm not the type to go back to old flames. Cameron? He's just like a pair of worn-out shoes to me, but you treat him like a treasure. Honestly, I'd rather marry a beggar than go back to him. I'm not making the same mistake twice."

Cameron's handsome face darkened at her words. It felt like Nathalie was trampling on his pride.

Still, he chose not to clash with Nathalie. He figured he owed her this much, so he let her vent and get it out of her system.

But his silence only riled up Greta. She whined, "Cameron, she's tearing you down like that, and you're just going to take it?"

Cameron shrugged. "A real man doesn't get into it with a woman."

Greta was left speechless.

Nathalie's eyes darted between Cameron and Greta, picking up on the tension simmering there more than ever.

Greta was fuming inside, her expression anything but pleasant.

Cameron switched gears. "Greta, I'm going to check with your doctor about your condition."

Nathalie chuckled, her laugh dripping with sarcasm. "Greta, who needs the love of a loser? That's your department."

Then, dropping her voice to a whisper meant only for Greta, she added, "Getting close to Cameron was just my way of stripping away everyone you care about, bit by bit. Just a little sweetness, and he's all over me—driving me home, bringing me flowers, asking me to be his plus-one... Aren't you worried he might have a change of heart?"

Greta shook with rage.

"Oh dear, it almost slipped my mind that you're like a parasite, Greta. If your host decides to kick you out, what then? You might end up in a cramped slum with your sick, broke parents."

The very thought sent shivers down Greta’s spine. She glared at Nathalie, her confidence visibly shaken. "You're wrong. Cameron would never leave me. He loves me too much."
