Reborn From Oblivion

Kristina went quiet for a moment.

Greta tried to soothe her, saying, "Kristina, don't let it get to you. Honestly, things are pretty great as they are. I might not be Cameron's wife on paper, but in my heart, he's my forever partner. I'll love him and take care of him for a lifetime. That marriage certificate? It's just a piece of paper to us."

Cameron shot a glance at Greta, his eyes shadowed with mixed emotions.

Kristina felt a bit more at ease. "You're right. You and Cameron have each other's backs, just like a real married couple. As for Nellie, let her do her thing. Who needs her anyway? Like we'd beg her to come back. It'd be better if she just stayed away." But things didn't go as planned.

Just as Greta and the Dawson family were having a nice time, the open doorway was suddenly filled by a lively figure casting a shadow on the floor. A sharp voice rang out, "Well, look who showed up! The one who should be here isn't, and the one who shouldn't be here is." Cameron was startled by the familiar voice. He looked up to see Lizzy walking toward them with a confident stride.

Greta nearly ground her teeth in frustration. "Lizzy, when did you become as rude as Nellie?"

Lizzy laughed instead of getting angry. "And you think you have manners? Sneaking around with your brother-in-law is your idea of class?"

For two years, Lizzy and Nellie had leaned on each other. Lizzy understood Nellie's loneliness and had witnessed the pain of family betrayal. Nellie's road to success had been a thousand times harder than most.

So, as Lizzy matured, her disdain for Cameron and Greta only grew stronger.

Cameron was provoked by Lizzy's boldness. He stood up abruptly, raising his hand as if to hit her. "Lizzy..."

But it was all bluster. His hand fell uselessly as he met Lizzy's mocking gaze.

He let it drop, almost without realizing it.

"Where's Nellie? Did she come back with you?" Cameron looked past Lizzy, finding nothing, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

Kristina sneered, "Oh, she finally decided to come back? I thought she was gone for good."

Lizzy's face turned pale, her grip on the documents tightening.

She couldn't imagine how Nathalie had put up with Kristina's relentless insults. No wonder shewould react so strongly whenever the past was brought up. Lizzy thought of how Nathalie's fingers would shake uncontrollably.

"I'm just here to drop off some papers."

Lizzy handed Cameron the divorce papers and turned to leave.

Cameron wanted to follow her, but Kristina cut him off. "Cameron, where are you going? Don't tell me you're thinking of bringing that disgrace back. If she's throwing a fit, you can't give in. Indulge her once, and she'll only push further. Let's see what tricks she has left without us begging her to return."

Lizzy, hearing Kristina's words, shook her head sadly. She couldn't hold back . She had to defend Natahlie. "Cameron, when have you ever catered to her?

And you, don't kid yourself into

thinking Cameron's some big catch. My sister couldn't care less about playing games with him. She genuinely wants to be free of Cameron." en FindNovel
