Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 822

Greta burst into the room, completely worn out, leaning against the doorframe as she tried to catch her breath. Frustration seeped from her voice as she panted, "I can't agree with her staying here."

Nathalie arched an eyebrow, fixing her gaze on Greta. "Did I ask for your opinion?"

Greta was fuming. "Nathalie, this is my home. I've already gone above and beyond by helping you with your daughter. How can you ask me to take in someone who's not even family?"

Nathalie's eyes flashed with cold anger. "Greta, be honest with yourself—did you really raise my daughter?"

"You can’t even take care of yourself, let alone my daughter," Nathalie shot back with a mocking laugh.

Greta pressed her lips together. "I may not have raised her, but I'm married to Cameron. His support for Nina affects my quality of life."

Nathalie frowned and turned to Cameron. "Cameron, does your wife really think my daughter is a burden?"

Tears streamed down Nina's face as she looked at Cameron, her voice tender and soft. "Daddy, if I'm a burden to you, you don't have to take care of me. I'll handle whatever comes my way."

Cameron glared at Greta with fierce intensity. "This isn't your decision to make."

Greta stomped her foot in frustration.

Nathalie looked at her with triumph. "Greta, what goes around comes around. Now you're in the shoes I once wore. Tell me, does stolen bread taste sweet?"

Both Greta and Cameron turned pale.

"Nathalie, watch your words," Cameron shouted angrily.

But Nathalie just laughed at his twisted expression. "Cameron, I have every right to decide my daughter's future. I've decided she's getting a tutor, and that’s final. I'll cover all the costs."

The air was thick with Nathalie's unwavering resolve, making Cameron feel like he’d swallowed a bitter pill.

"Nathalie, are you turning this place into your personal academy?"

Nathalie just looked at Cameron. "When you adopted me, you promised the best education and said I'd go to college. What happened? You only wanted my kidney, ruining my bright future."

"Now, I've adopted Cindy, and I've promised her a brilliant future. Cameron, I just want to see if it's really so hard to keep a promise."

"I’m not stopping at hiring tutors for Cindy and Nina. They'll attend all sorts of classes. I’ll do everything to help Cindy and Nina. If they want to fly, I’ll give them wings."

Cameron's face darkened like a stormy night.

Every time Nathalie brought up his past, it was like a slap to his pride. He knew he’d messed up, but his stubborn nature kept him from saying sorry.

"As long as it makes you happy," Cameron muttered at last.
