Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 807

The last thing Nathalie said almost made her burst out laughing. If he didn’t want to play the bad guy, she’d step up to the plate.

She told him straight up, “You don’t need to waste your time and energy on me. No one’s getting into my heart.”

Diego was taken aback.

“Vivian, don’t be so quick to write me off. Let’s see what time has to say,” he replied.

Nathalie added, “I’ve said my bit. You’re a smart guy; I just hope you don’t regret your persistence after investing so much in a lost cause.”

Diego chuckled. “You’re quite the honest one.”

Nathalie just shrugged it off with a smile.

She had already experienced the kind of love where Nathan’s entire world revolved around her. Diego’s affection felt more like a half-hearted attempt, almost like he was going through the motions.

She didn’t call him out on it though; she didn’t want to disappoint her dad.

They wandered over to the partition between their row houses. What used to be a solid wall now featured an ornate, bottle-shaped window right in the middle.

Peering through it, Nathalie caught sight of the scene on the other side. Ashley was lounging on a swing not too far away, and their eyes met unexpectedly.

When Ashley spotted Diego next to Nathalie, her expression was a mix of surprise and curiosity.

“Sis, who’s this?” she asked, her voice tinged with excitement.

Nathalie replied, “This is Diego, my dad’s friend’s son.”

Ashley gave Diego a once-over. He was good-looking, with a dash of elegance and humility. Definitely seemed like the intellectual type.

Ashley shot back sarcastically, “Sure, lots of women like Nathan. But there aren’t many who lack a moral compass and enjoy being the other woman.”

Nathalie had felt the sting of being overshadowed by a third party, and she refused to become the kind of person who would disrupt someone else’s relationship.

Ashley’s jab ticked her off, and Nathalie felt compelled to set the record straight. “Ashley, I only see him as a brother, nothing more.”

With that, Nathalie stormed off, clearly upset.

Diego quickly followed her.

Ashley, meanwhile, took her phone out of her pocket and stopped the recording, a cunning smile spreading across her face.

“I’ll make sure Nathan hears this. Once he knows where you stand, he’ll stop entertaining any fantasies about you.”
