Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 179

Nathalie was taken aback. After being cast aside by both her birth family and in-laws for two lifetimes, she never imagined someone could still care for her. This unexpected revelation made her all the more curious about the person who reached out. "Send me the address, and I'll head over right away."

By the time Nathalie arrived at the bar, the clock had struck midnight. The place was almost deserted, with just a few weary souls draped over the tables, lost in their own world. Her eyes scanned the room, searching for a familiar face, but she found none, leaving her puzzled and frowning.

Just then, a waiter approached her with a gentle smile. "Are you Ms. Nathalie?" She nodded, prompting him to softly say, "Your guest is in the booth over there."

Following his gaze, Nathalie realized she had indeed spotted him earlier but failed to recognize him in his current state. It took seeing the well-known features of her ex-husband for the pieces to click into place.

There he was, drunk and disheveled, clutching a bottle as he gulped down its contents. With a heavy thud, he slammed the bottle on the table, slurring, "Nel..."

Back in the day, seeing Cameron so vulnerable and sincere would have pulled at Nathalie’s heartstrings. She would have made him hangover breakfast, stayed up all night caring for him, and shed tears over his misery—things she used to do without a second thought.

But now, she was no longer the same Nellie. She had let go of that pitiful, sad sympathy. Instead, she stood there, quietly observing him as if watching a spectacle.
