Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 808

When Nathalie swung by the prison again, Officer Ashburn raised an eyebrow. "Ashley, weren't you just here a couple of days ago?"

Nathalie froze for a moment before the lightbulb flicked on-her cousin Ashley must have visited, and Officer Ashburn got their identities tangled up through the grapevine.

Nathalie cleared up the mix-up, "That wasn't me the other day. It was probably my cousin, Ashley."

Officer Ashburn's face showed a hint of confusion.

"Alright, Ashley, hang tight. I'll let him know you're here."

Nathalie gave a silent nod.

As Officer Ashburn walked off, she caught him joking with a colleague, "Two sisters both sweet on the same guy-now that's a sight."

Even though they were whispering, Nathalie's sharp ears picked up every word. "If it were me, I'd go for the younger, livelier sister. I heard the older one's been through a divorce and some tough times. What guy would go for that?"

"Whenever No. 13 sees the older sister, he clams up. But the other day with Ms. Nellie, he was all chatty. It's pretty obvious who he's into."

Nathalie felt the sting of their teasing remarks, and a shadow of disappointment crossed her eyes.

It was like someone had poured ice water over her heart.

All the warmth drained out of her, pooling in her cheeks, which were now burning with embarrassment.
