Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 824

Morris said, "No wonder you hang on her every word."

The man chuckled warmly, "Even though I'm in a bit of a financial pinch, I'm not in it for the money. The real reason I agreed to this risky deal with her is because I admire her character."

Morris listened closely, "Oh really?"

He knew Nathalie had a noble spirit, but like a flickering firefly, such qualities often went unrecognized. He was curious about how Nathalie managed to persuade this honest and straightforward man to risk his own reputation so willingly.

The man reminisced, recalling the day Nathalie made him a promise that really touched him.

With determination, he said, "She promised me this: she entrusted me with the most important person in her life, and as long as I could ensure your safety, she would protect my family, so I'd have nothing to worry about."

Morris was taken aback, "She said I’m the most important person to her?"

The man nodded, patting his chest, "I quoted her word for word. That's what she said. You wouldn't believe how much this girl amazed me. To think someone so petite could have such a big heart—it’s truly remarkable."

Suddenly, Morris felt the chill of spring start to lift.

Flowers were blooming, and the sun was just about ready to shine.

Everything felt right, just as it should be.

His heart lightened with the change in the air.

At the Dawson Estate.

That evening, the moonlight was downright magical.

The garden was wrapped in a misty veil, making everything look mysterious and dreamlike.

After her bath, Cindy let her long hair down and, dressed in a white dress, danced like a sprite in the garden.

Cameron, drawn to the gentle melody from a distant piano, found himself at the window, utterly captivated by Cindy.

Greta, wielding a broom, stormed over to Cindy, hitting her while shouting angrily, "So young, yet you've already mastered the art of seduction. Have you no shame?"

Cindy, tearfully, pleaded, "Ma'am, this dance is for my performance tomorrow for my dance teacher. I didn't mean anything else. Nathalie said if I perfected this dance, the teacher would surely take me as a student."

Her fair skin glowed ethereally in the moonlight.

And as she knelt there, with tears streaming down her face, she looked so helpless.

Cameron sighed and rushed downstairs.

"Greta, what are you doing?" He grabbed the broom from Greta's hand and tossed it aside.

Greta stared at him, feeling wronged, shocked, and incredulous, "Cameron, you're taking her side?"

"She's dressed like this and performing my signature song, and you don’t see what she's up to?"
