Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 313

Ashley’s expression fell visibly. But her pride wouldn’t let Nathalie outshine her. With a bold move, she grabbed Nathan’s hand, pressing his chilly palm against her cheek. She blinked her innocent eyes at him. “Nathan, I really like you. I want to marry you. Can you not be so nice to other women? It makes me jealous.”

Nathan gently pulled his hand back, his voice distant and cool. “Ashley, you should find someone else. Don’t waste your time on me. It won’t lead anywhere.”

Ashley’s eyes widened, tears threatening to spill. “Nathan, is it because you love Nathalie?”

Nathan didn’t reply. He was lost in a heavy silence.

Ashley, eager to make her point, continued, “What does she have that I don’t? Everyone says she's been married, had a miscarriage, and might not be able to have kids in the future. The Rowland family would never approve of your marriage.”

Nathan’s face turned pale. “Who told you this?” He thought about how strong Nathalie was and how hurtful it would be for her to hear these words.

Ashley, blunt as ever, said, “Mason told Nathalie himself. I overheard it.”

Nathan’s face turned white. His fist clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth. “Why did he meddle in my stuff?”

Ashley pleaded, “Nathan, stop chasing after Nathalie. She doesn’t even like you.”

Nathan’s heart felt like it was being pierced by shards of painfully cold ice.

After his grandfather's hurtful words, Nathalie must have retreated into her shell, losing the courage to pursue a complicated romance.

Nathan said weakly, “You don’t need to go after her. I’m not in the mood for romance anyway.”

Ashley exhaled in relief. She beamed, “I knew you couldn’t possibly like Nathalie. She’s not right for you.”
