Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 536

When Nathan popped the question, his eyes, as deep and mysterious as a peach blossom, locked onto Nathalie's, carrying a hint of unease. She hesitated, unsure of how to break the news to him. Her heart ached for Nathan. Even though he had severed ties with the Rowland family, they were still trying every trick in the book to pull him back into turmoil. The Rowlands had always been harsh to him. She just couldn't bring herself to tell him the whole truth. "Honestly, it's nothing big. Maybe your Maple Company has them cornered, so they're trying to use me to get to you," she said, trying to lighten the blow.

Nathan's bright eyes dimmed with a layer of sadness. "What exactly do they plan to do?" His gaze was sharp, making it impossible for her to lie.

Nathalie looked at him helplessly, her heart full of pity. She held his face gently, whispering, "Nathan, whatever they do, don't get angry or upset. It's not worth it. Just remember, I love you, and that's what matters." Nathan was taken aback for a moment, then his smile broke out like a field of blooming wildflowers. He hugged Nathalie. "So you do care about me." He had been worried, afraid she might easily trust Benjamin. Nathalie replied, "If I don't care about you, who else will?"

After dealing with a harrowing "kidnapping", Nathalie was exhausted and turned in early for the night. Meanwhile, Nathan, after ensuring she was sound asleep, stood up from his wheelchair with surprising ease and walked outside. No sign of injury held him back. At the Rowland family estate, a black sedan slipped in like a shadow, parking in the open-air lot. The driver cheekily honked the horn, sending a sharp noise that jolted everyone awake. Soon, the once-dark building flickered with lights.

Footsteps hurriedly converged on the main hall from all directions. Someone reached the hall first, flicking on the spotlight that instantly flooded the hall and garden with bright light, chasing away the night and revealing everything.
