Chapter 369
Nathalie left a note on the door. [Out for a couple of days. Don’t worry about me.]
Greta, always quick to jump to conclusions, immediately linked Cameron’s business trip with Nathalie’s little getaway. She was convinced that Cameron was cheating on her and Nathalie was the other woman.
In a fury, she marched up to Nathalie’s door, kicking it repeatedly and shouting, “You homewrecker!”
After letting off some steam, Greta turned to leave, only to bump into Nathan, who was looking for Nathalie.
Nathan glared at Greta, his eyes cold enough to send shivers down her spine. “Who said you could come looking for Nathalie?”
Greta, ever the drama queen, took a step forward, stirring the pot. “If I hadn’t shown up, how else would I have caught Nathalie trying to steal my man?”
Nathan frowned, calling her out. “Stop making stuff up, Greta. Don’t drag everyone down to your level.”
Greta, desperate to prove her point, cobbled together her supposed evidence. “I’m not making this up. Cameron left for his trip today, and i saw a pink teddy bear in his suitcase. Nathalie has the same one. It’s their love token.”
She tore the note off the door and shoved it into Nathan’s hand. “Look at this! Cameron’s gone for two days, and so is your precious Nathalie. Coincidence? I think not. They’re obviously off together. Nathan, open your eyes.”
Nathan studied the note, his gaze lingering on a little sketched N in the corner, and he couldn’t help but smile.
So, Nathalie knew he didn’t like it when she left without a word. At least this time, she left him a note.
Finally, she was treating him like family.
Nathan tucked the note away, looked at Greta, whose jealousy was practically oozing out of her, and chuckled. “Even if Nathalie and Cameron are rekindling something, isn’t that normal? They were married once, and you’re just giving back what you took. Why are you so mad?”
Greta was so angry she could hardly breathe.
“The way you brush Nathalie off makes it obvious you don’t love her. Was your whole relationship just an act? I knew Nathalie couldn’t snag someone like you.”
Nathan felt a pang of sadness. “You’re wrong. I’m the one not good enough for her.”
With that, he walked away, not wanting to waste another second arguing.
But as he turned, his facade cracked. Greta’s words about Nathalie and Cameron having matching pink teddy bears as their love token hit him hard.
He felt adrift, his steps uncertain.
He was sure Nathalie wouldn’t run back to Cameron, but he wasn’t sure if she could ever truly let him go.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t pull Nathalie out of the shadows of her past with Cameron. A therapist told Nathan that Nathalie’s deep–seated hatred was as strong as the love she once felt for Cameron that was buried deep within her.
Nathan wasn’t confident that he could pull Nathalie away from Cameron’s world.
