Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Nathalie suddenly grabbed Morris's hand, her eyes filled with unshed tears. "Nathan, if you keep bending over backward to please him and he still doesn't care, why not come back? Nathalie loves you."

Morris gave her a dazzling smile. "Alright."

He reached out and held Nathalie's hand tightly. "Nathalie, if I'm not around, make sure you eat well, stick to a routine, and if work gets too exhausting, think about selling the company. The world's a big place, and you should get out there and explore it."

Nathalie looked at him, puzzled. "The company is your hard work too. No matter what, I want to hold onto it."

Morris gently flicked her forehead. "Don't miss the forest for the trees. I let you manage the company so you could be happy. If it becomes too much, let it go."

Nathalie's eyes were misty.

At that moment, Morris's gaze was as deep as an endless galaxy. It couldn't hold the stars and the sea, but it held her. She could feel his love, but why did he pull away when she confessed her feelings?

"Nathan, you're leaving. I can't make you stay. I just have one request: come with me for a check-up on Monday. On Tuesday, I'll see you off to start at Vincent Corporation."

Morris nodded, his voice tender as always. "Alright, I'll do whatever Nathalie wants."

Nathalie smiled brightly.
