Chapter 116
Nellie couldn’t help but chuckle at the whole situation. Did Cameron seriously think she was some kind of caged bird? Was he really trying to dictate her social life? It was downright laughable.
Cameron kept going, unbothered, “Nathan’s just a clueless kid. He’s no threat at all.”
Just then, the door creaked open, and there was Nellie, standing in the doorway with her phone, looking like she’d just caught them
red–handed.
Cameron and Greta’s faces went pale with panic. Greta quickly scrambled to explain, “You’ve got it wrong, Nel. Cameron and I were just talking, honestly!”
“Talking? Alone? In the middle of the night?” Nellie snapped a photo with her phone.
Instead of jealousy or anger, Nellie’s face showed nothing but disdain, which threw both Cameron and Greta for a loop. The old Nellie would’ve lost it if she saw Cameron getting cozy with someone else.
Cameron seemed momentarily distracted by his thoughts.
Greta snapped back to reality, and lunged for Nellie’s phone. “Who said you could take pictures? Delete them right now!*
Not wanting to make a scene, Nellie tossed the phone to Greta. She had already sent the photos to Lizzy anyway.
Relieved, Greta deleted the photos and handed the phone back.
Nellie crossed her arms, a smirk playing on her lips. “This is my house, Greta. It’s time for you to hit the road. You’re not welcome here.”
Greta’s face turned ghostly white. “Nel, how can you treat me like this?”
Tears brimmed in her eyes as she turned to Cameron. “Cameron, if my sister can’t stand me coming around, I don’t think I can be here anymore.”
Cameron shot Nellie an angry glare. “Nellie, you don’t get to make the rules here. That’s my job. Greta is always welcome, and if you keep this up, you can leave.”
Nellie just laughed, unfazed. “Oh, really? Just remember, Cameron. Don’t come begging me to return.”
She spun around and slammed the door shut, the sound echoing through the house and causing Greta to flinch.
Cameron, looking like a storm cloud, was not in the best of moods.
“Cameron, she’s really upset. What now?” Greta managed to muster a few tears.
Cameron shrugged it off. “How long can she stay mad? She always comes back, no matter how many tantrums she throws.”
Greta wiped her tears and smiled. “You’re right.”
The two of them headed downstairs, arm in arm.
Meanwhile, Nellie had packed her bags and was coming down the stairs, suitcase in hand.
In the living room, Greta and Cameron watched Nellie, stunned. Greta broke the silence. “Nellie, quit the drama. When have you ever really left Cameron?”
But this time, Cameron looked a bit rattled. Nellie’s last walkout had already put Cameron in a bad light with Griffin. If she pulled it off again, it could be even worse for him.
Nellie walked right up to Cameron and handed him a divorce agreement. “Cameron, you’re not the center of the universe. Not everyone is glued to you. If you’ve got the guts, sign this and let me go. You can take your own path, and I’ll take mine.”
