Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 498

Ford chimed in, “Nina disappeared for quite a while after saying she was headed to the restroom. Dominick and I were about to lose it searching for her. Just as we were about to give you a heads-up, she strolled out of Dawson International.”

Both of them looked at Nathan, guilt written all over their faces. Nathan turned his attention to Nina.

Nina, showing maturity beyond her years, held onto Dominick with one hand and Ford with the other, giving them a reassuring look. “Uncle, you two can go downstairs. I’ll explain everything to Dad.”

Dominick and Ford didn’t dare leave without Nathan's say-so.

Nina was a bit taken aback and pouted in disappointment.

Finally, Nathan waved them off, saying, “Alright, get up.”

Dominick and Ford scrambled to their feet, retreating awkwardly.

Nathan focused on Nina. “So, you went to see him?”

Nina didn’t hide it, nodding, “Dad, you’re sharp. Nothing slips past you.”

“Does your mom know about this?” Nathan’s expression turned serious.

Nina shook her head. “No, Dad, I didn’t tell Mom.”

“Why not?” Nathan’s voice was stern, “Do you think your mom wouldn’t approve of you meeting him? Is that why you went ahead anyway?”

Nina nodded, understanding the implication.

Nathan’s tone was laced with sarcasm, “You’re young, but you sure know how to make your own decisions.”

Nina bit her lip, defiant, “I saw him, but I’m not looking to rekindle anything.”

Nathan stood up, his voice cold, “If your mom wouldn’t like it, then you shouldn’t do it.” With that, he turned and went inside.

Nina let out a heavy sigh.

Inside, Natalie was distractedly picking at the vegetables.

She’d heard every word of Nina and Nathan’s exchange.
