Chapter 297

Nathan didn't answer Cameron right away; instead, he lit another cigarette. His long, elegant fingers held the cigarette as the smoke curled around his handsome face, giving him an air of mystery. "Why are you so nice to Nathalie?" Cameron asked, puzzled. How did down-and-out Nathalie end up knowing someone as affluent as Nathan?

Nathan replied with a calm, "Because she's worth it."

Cameron frowned, clearly skeptical about Nathan's reasoning. Then Nathan hit Cameron with a zinger. "Cameron, you've always been the golden boy, who looks like a movie star and has talents that leave everyone else in the dust. How did you end up falling for Greta?" The way Nathan said Greta's name made it sound like she was some kind of disgrace.

Cameron shot back, "What's wrong with Greta? She's smart, beautiful, kind, and gentle. If she weren't struggling with her health, she'd outshine Nathalie any day."

Cameron felt he had to champion Greta's virtues to avoid looking foolish for his unwavering love.
