Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 235

Nathalie was always grateful to Cameron, and her way of showing it was through a steady stream of small, thoughtful gestures. From that moment on, she took special care of Cameron.

Whenever he came home, she was the first to hand him his shoes. If he got drunk, she learned to whip up a mean hangover breakfast. When he was laid up with a fever, and the housemaids were tiptoeing around to avoid him, Nellie, unafraid of getting sick, was right there by his side, tending to him day and night. After his car accident, she even made her way to a chapel to pray earnestly to keep him safe.

The housemaids couldn’t help but tease her. “Nellie, you’re so good to Mr. Dawson. Are you head over heels for him?”

Nellie turned as red as a beet, shaking her head like a rattle. “How could I have such crazy ideas? We’re in totally different worlds; there’s no way we could ever be together.”

Still skeptical, the maids pressed her, and Nellie finally clarified, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m just paying back Cameron for helping with my education.”

Nellie was always a kid who always paid back kindness, so the maids bought her explanation.

But her endless attentiveness towards Cameron lit a spark of curiosity in his proud, stubborn heart.

Every woman who crossed his path seemed to have hidden agendas. Could Nellie, a girl from a humble background, have any different intentions?

“Nellie, do you have a thing for me?” Cameron asked one sunny afternoon, lounging in a black robe with the collar open, showing off his lean neck. He cornered Nellie as she brought him tea.

With her innocent, starry eyes, Nellie gazed at Cameron and replied, “Of course, I like you, Cameron.”

Her straightforwardness only muddled Cameron’s thoughts more. He wondered if she really got what he meant by ‘like.’
