Chapter 487
Nathan's words, though meant as a compliment, nearly sent Cameron and Greta to an early grave.
Cameron's expression was stormy enough to make you think it might rain. "Why the sarcasm, Nathan?"
Greta, flushed with indignation, snapped back, "Who said I'm the other woman? Cameron and I have been sweethearts since we were kids... It's Nathalie who's the real interloper..." Cameron suddenly barked at Greta, "Shut your mouth."
How could she dare dredge up the past? Their previous actions were practically a con. Cameron had no desire to revisit those foolish days.
Greta, feeling wronged after Cameron's outburst, burst into tears.
Nathan, however, was focused on Nathalie, worried she might get lost in the sadness of old memories.
Surprisingly, Nathalie's face remained calm and collected. It was as if the person Greta was talking about wasn't even her.
Nathan let out a quiet sigh of relief.
He turned his sharp gaze to Greta, ready to punish her careless words with biting honesty. "Greta, what's there to be upset about? A woman like you, living on borrowed time, deceiving your sister and hanging onto your boyfriend just to keep going-shouldn't you be grateful? You're so disrespectful to the people who help you, don't you think karma's got its eye on you?"
Greta cried out, "Haven't I suffered enough? I've lost my home, my husband doesn't love me, I'm broke, can't even afford my meds... and it's all Nathalie's fault."
Nathan replied, "If life's so unbearable, why not just end it? Spare us the misery."noveldrama
Greta went pale, seething with rage at Nathan.
She shot back, "Nathan, do you really think the woman you like is any good? She's just trash. She can't even give you kids. You'll die alone."
Nathalie had had enough and slapped Greta hard.
She wouldn't let anyone mistreat Nathan, who was so wonderful.
Her eyes blazing with anger, she scolded Greta, "Who gave you the
right to insult him? Greta, he's off-limits. If you disrespect him again I'll charge you with stealing my organs and make sure you rot in
jail.
Nathan, surprisingly, said, "Why did you hit her?"
Nathalie, slightly taken aback, replied, "I was helping you."
Greta, mistakenly thinking Nathan was on her side, laughed, "Nathan, see? She's always been rude and unrefined. No wonder, without a mother to teach her."
Nathan swiftly kicked Greta aside,
then gently took Nathalie's hand et deal with things like this. Lete to
"Does it hurt? You shouldn't
handle it."
Nathalie couldn't help but smile through her frustration.
Greta, still on the ground, saw the tenderness Nathan had for Nathalie and was green with envy, her eyes red with jealousy.
Cameron, meanwhile, didn't seem interested in defending Greta. He just watched Nathalie.
Seeing Nathalie stand up for Nathan was like watching a mother hen protect her chick, stirring something deep and unexpected within him.
Her small stature, yet her fierce determination to shield Nathan, was a testament to her selfless love, which truly moved Nathan.
Suddenly, Cameron felt a pang of jealousy towards Nathan.
