Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 889

His plan was straightforward: make sure Morris enjoyed every moment of his life.

When Nathalie walked through the door, she found her dad in the kitchen, sweating like he was in a sauna. She grabbed a napkin and gently wiped his forehead.

"Wow, you're really laying it on thick. What do you want from me?" Lincoln teased with a grin.

Nathalie, with a mischievous glint in her eye, asked, "Dad, did you pass my message to Nathan?"

"What message?" Lincoln pretended not to know.

Oh, he knew alright. It was her heartfelt confession to Morris. He was well aware that Morris loved her just as much. But they couldn’t be together, and Lincoln couldn’t bear to give his daughter false hope.

Nathalie looked at him, feeling let down.

"Oh, my terrible memory! I totally forgot," Lincoln said, slapping his thigh as if he'd just remembered.

Nathalie's face fell. "How could you forget something so important?"

"Blame it on my midlife crisis, darling. My memory's not what it used to be. Next time, Viv, I'll jot it down and make sure it doesn't slip my mind again," Lincoln said, pretending to be busy. He picked up a spatula and made a fuss in the frying pan, causing a noisy clatter.

With no help from her dad, Nathalie decided to be brave on her own.

She headed upstairs and deliberately stopped by Morris's room. She knocked, and Morris opened the door almost instantly.

"Nathalie, off work already?"

Suddenly, Nathalie took his hand, acting cute and playful. "Nathan, I don't want you to leave me. Please, don't go."

Morris was most defenseless against her charms; he had no resistance to Nathalie's playful antics.
