Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 39

Cameron suddenly lost it and reached out to grab Nellie, but to his shock, she slapped him and yelled, "Ah, you creep! How dare you harass me!"

Before he could react, a bunch of guys in the shop jumped in to hold Cameron back. Nellie took advantage of the chaos and bolted out of there.

Cameron's face went pale. He didn't get a good look at Nellie's face, but her voice was unmistakable—she was his wife, Nellie.

He tried frantically to explain to the guys restraining him. "I'm not some creep. That girl is my wife! Let me go! I need to take her home."

The guys, trying to play heroes, threw skeptical glances at Cameron. "She's your wife? Then who's this lady with you?"

Cameron was at a loss for words. The judgmental looks from the men were intense.

Greta, who always seemed to be glued to Cameron, quickly jumped in to clear things up. "You've got it wrong. I'm his wife's sister. We were out looking for my sister together."

The guys were still unsure, but finally let him go.

Cameron stumbled out, calling, "Nellie!" His voice grew hoarse, but there was no response.

Nellie knew this street like the back of her hand. She hid in the shadows, watching from a distance as Cameron searched for her. Her eyes grew colder. He’s actually searching for his wife while still flirting with his first love. Why hadn't she dumped this jerk sooner? She wasted a kidney on him for nothing.

Cameron was bewildered and confused. Why wouldn't Nellie want to see him? She used to be so fond of him and always relied on him. She should've run straight into his arms.

Greta came out and tried to calm him down. "Cameron, stop looking for her. We made a mistake. I just asked the shop owner, and he said the girl wasn't Nellie."
