Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 536

When Nathan popped the question, his eyes, as deep and mysterious as a peach blossom, locked onto Nathalie’s, carrying a hint of unease. She hesitated, unsure of how to break the news to him. Her heart ached for Nathan.

Even though he had severed ties with the Rowland family, they were still trying every trick in the book to pull him back into turmoil. The Rowlands had always been harsh to him. She just couldn’t bring herself to tell him the whole truth.

“Honestly, it’s nothing big. Maybe your Maple Company has them cornered, so they’re trying to use me to get to you,” she said, trying to lighten the blow.

Nathan’s bright eyes dimmed with a layer of sadness. “What exactly do they plan to do?” His gaze was sharp, making it impossible for her to lie.

Nathalie looked at him helplessly, her heart full of pity. She held his face gently, whispering, “Nathan, whatever they do, don’t get angry or upset. It’s not worth it. Just remember, I love you, and that’s what matters.”

Nathan was taken aback for a moment, then his smile broke out like a field of blooming wildflowers. He hugged Nathalie. “So you do care about me.” He had been worried, afraid she might easily trust Benjamin.

Nathalie replied, “If I don’t care about you, who else will?”

After dealing with a harrowing “kidnapping”, Nathalie was exhausted and turned in early for the night. Meanwhile, Nathan, after ensuring she was sound asleep, stood up from his wheelchair with surprising ease and walked outside. No sign of injury held him back.

At the Rowland family estate, a black sedan slipped in like a shadow, parking in the open-air lot. The driver cheekily honked the horn, sending a sharp noise that jolted everyone awake. Soon, the once-dark building flickered with lights.

Gavin erupted, “That’s ridiculous. I gave your mom a ten million dowry.”

Nathan looked at the agitated Gavin with disdain. “Hmph, twenty years ago, this villa was worth hundreds of millions, right? Ten million for a dowry, a billion in assets, and yet you have the audacity to live off a woman and still act proud. Anyone with self-respect would be ashamed to live here. But not you, even bringing in a mistress and an illegitimate child.”

Nathan’s face suddenly hardened, “Living off a woman, and you had the gall to kick me out of the estate. Aren’t you afraid of karma?”

The mention of “karma” was delivered with a chilling, sinister smile that sent shivers down the spine.
