Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 26

Nellie said, "Oh, you can reply for me then."

Nathan quickly tapped out a message: [Who let the dog out? Maybe you should go back and learn some manners from your English teacher on how to ask for a favor.]

Cameron got Nellie's text while he was having dinner with a few of his closest friends. The vibe was lively. One of them teased, "Cameron, I heard your father wants you to bring Nellie back. Planning a trip overseas soon?"

"I've been busy. She'll manage on her own," Cameron replied, sounding unbothered.

"Dude, you've left her abroad for half a year without a peep. What if she's ticked off and doesn't come back?"

Cameron was all confidence. "She's easy to win over."

Laughter rippled around the table.

"True that, Nellie is totally smitten with Cameron. If he asked for her kidney, she'd probably give it without blinking."

"Ha!"

When Cameron's assistant's phone chimed with a message, his face lit up as he announced, "Mr. Dawson, it's a text from your wife."

The buddy who'd been teasing him about losing Nellie looked unimpressed. "Old habits die hard. Nellie can't help but fawn over Cameron."

Cameron lit a cigarette, a smug smile on his face.

Greta chimed in, "You guys just don't get girls. They act all dramatic and pick fights just to grab your attention. My sister's had a tough upbringing, so a bit of kindness from Cameron, and she's clinging to him like a lifeline. She's not going anywhere."

When Cameron opened Nathan's message, the bold word "SCRAM" made his expression darken like a storm cloud. He read the last bit of Nellie’s message, and it almost sent him over the edge.
