Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 308

"Hey there, it's been ages since you last stopped by my bar! Why didn't you bring your girlfriend with you today?"

Cameron had a bit too much to drink, found himself more chatty than usual and started a conversation with the bar owner.

"She's not feeling well. She’s been under the weather. That's why I haven't been taking her out much lately."

The owner nodded sympathetically. "That's a real shame. She’s such a lovely girl. Why does fate have to be so harsh on her?"

Cameron looked a bit puzzled. "You know her?"

The owner gave a gentle smile. "Oh, definitely. A few years ago, my husband's business was going through a rough patch, and the stress got to him. He'd come home and take it out on me and our son. One day, he nearly hit our boy, and your girlfriend bravely stepped in. She handed him a wad of cash and told him to toughen up and face the world instead of picking on his family. After that, things turned around for him, and the business started doing well. He's become a much kinder person now. He always says that he wouldn't be where he is today without your girlfriend's intervention. He often envies you for finding such a well-spoken and knowledgeable girl."

Cameron's face lit up with a happy grin. "She's my wife now. We got married. Thank you for recognizing her for who she truly is."

Cameron was more convinced than ever that Greta, whom many doubted, was genuinely an amazing person. He resolved to cherish her even more.

The owner encouraged him further, "You've got to treat her right. She's a gem. If you let her down, you'd be asking for trouble."

To back up her story, the owner added, "That day, when you were completely out of it, she borrowed my kitchen to whip up a hangover breakfast for you. It's clear she loves you deeply. It's wonderful that you two found each other."

Cameron was taken aback by how much Greta had done for him behind the scenes, and his love for her grew even stronger. "I'll never let her down. Ever."

Right then, Greta's call came through.

Cameron answered cheerfully, "Hey, Greta." His voice was unusually tender, perhaps due to his good mood.
