Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 635

Nina hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the USB drive, nodding obediently. "Alright."

Cameron gave her a gentle pat on the head. "You should head back now. If Nathan, that sly fox, finds out you're not home, he'll get suspicious."

Clutching the USB drive tightly, Nina took off running back home.

Cameron vanished in front of the ornate door.

Unbeknownst to Nina, Nathalie was watching and quietly followed her.

As soon as Nina burst into the foyer, she bumped into a solid chest.

Looking up, she saw Nathan and quickly stepped back, startled.

"Uncle... Dad?" she stammered.

Nathan looked at her warmly. "Out meeting him so late?"

Nina swallowed hard, too nervous to speak.

Meanwhile, Nathalie, watching from outside, was frozen with shock.

How did Nathan know Nina went to see Cameron?

"I didn't," Nina lied.

Nathan calmly replied, "There's a security camera by the side door. It triggers the alarm if anyone approaches."

Nina was taken aback, her expression stunned. "Since you knew I met him, why aren't you punishing me?"

Nathan chuckled softly. "You're your mother's darling. If I punished you, it would break her heart. I could never do that."

Nathan nodded. "Alright."

He turned and left, with an air of nonchalance.

Once Nathan was gone, Nathalie's expression turned stern. She glared at Nina with a piercing gaze. "You've let me down."

Tears welled up in Nina's eyes as she reached out to Nathalie. "Mom, please don't be mad at me. Dad and I are just scared of Gavin deceiving you..."

"Ha, you call Cameron 'Dad' so easily, don't you? Nathan saved you when you were in danger, provided you with a stable life, and yet you and your unscrupulous father plan to betray him? How did I not realize sooner that you're so ungrateful? Nina, you don't resemble my daughter; you seem more like Cameron's. Are you as ungrateful as he is?"

Tears streamed down Nina's face. "Mom, please don't say that about me. I just love you too much. I don't want Gavin to fool you. Please, don't be angry with me."

Nathalie looked at her daughter's young, innocent face and her heart softened. She gently pulled her into an embrace.

She couldn't shake the feeling that Nina had turned out this way due to her lack of guidance. She resolved to spend more time with her daughter, teaching her and being there for her.
