Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 429

Lizzy was taken aback by Nathalie’s decision, "If you sell the house, where are you gonna live?"

Nathalie's tone was calm and collected, "Lizzy, I'm thinking of leaving all this drama behind and spending some time in the countryside. Why don't you find a cozy little villa with a big yard? We could grow our own veggies, maybe even have some chickens and ducks. That would be just perfect."

Lizzy was still puzzled, "But, do we really need to sell the house for that? What about when we want to come back? Are you saying you might not return to the Capital?"

Nathalie chuckled, "We've still got Nathan's place. Wherever he settles, that'll be our spot too."

Lizzy was thrilled, "I'll get right on it."

Nathalie didn't see it coming when an unexpected guest showed up at her door.

Benjamin's sudden visit caught her off guard. She stood firm at the entrance, blocking his way with a defensive stance. "What brings you here?"

Benjamin sheepishly rubbed his nose, looking quite bashful, "Nathalie, it's been ages since you visited. I was worried something happened, so I thought I'd check in."

Nathalie shot back, "You cut off my livelihood, making it impossible for me to stay in the Capital. Why on earth would I come to see you?" Her temper was flaring.

Benjamin assumed a superior air, "Nathalie, just as I can cut off your income, I can restore it too."

He watched Nathalie closely, hoping she'd soften.

But Nathalie held her ground, refusing to accept any handouts, "No thanks. The Capital isn't all that anyway. I'm not desperate to hang around. The world's a big place. I'll find my own path."

Benjamin looked worried, "Nathalie, what are you saying?"

"If you can cut off Cameron's income, then I'll consider forgiving you."

Benjamin hesitated, "But..."

Nathalie stood firm, "Benjamin, you know Cameron's my enemy. If you're helping him, there's no reason for us to stay friends. If you can't break ties with him, just leave."

Nathalie gave Benjamin a firm push out the door and slammed it shut.

Benjamin's backside stung from the kick, but instead of getting mad, he grinned. As he rubbed his sore spot, a sly smile spread across his face, "What a fiery temper. But I like it."

Then, Benjamin headed straight for Cameron's place.
