Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 920

Nathalie and Morris walked into the kitchen, and Nathalie handed him a bunch of veggies and a peeler. "Hey Morris, can you handle peeling these?"

Before Morris could get a word in, Nathalie continued, "You've probably never done chores before, right? How would you manage such simple tasks? Oh well, I’ll just do it myself."

Morris couldn't help but laugh, handing her a perfectly peeled potato.

Nathalie's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, that was fast!"

Morris's voice was soothing, like a gentle stream. "I actually took some cooking classes."

Nathalie was caught off guard. "Why’d you decide to learn?"

Morris gave a small, wistful smile. "I wanted to cook for the girl I love."

Nathalie drifted into her thoughts.

She suddenly remembered Nathan, who had once said the same thing to her. And he meant it, always trying out new recipes for her.

But could someone as reserved as Morris really have a girl he loves?

"Can I know who she is?" Nathalie teased with a playful grin. "If you’re so into her, maybe I can help you win her over."

Morris’s face took on a more serious tone, with a hint of sadness. "She’s amazing, unlike boring old me. She probably wouldn’t be happy with me. I’d rather not bother her."

An unfamiliar feeling flickered through Nathalie’s heart.

She couldn’t quite figure out if it was sadness, happiness, or confusion. But something about Morris's reasoning seemed off.

"When you love someone, you should go for it," Nathalie encouraged.

Morris was too stunned to reply.

He shot back, "Who’s the lucky one making shy Nathalie brave enough to chase after them?"

Nathalie felt her cheeks heat up, secretly thinking that she was trying her hardest to win over the person right in front of her.

Nathalie's eyes glistened with unshed tears.

Morris's heart ached, and he felt weak all over. He wanted nothing more than to rush over and hold Nathalie, to tell her he didn’t mind her loving him, in fact, he was thrilled.

But his feet felt like lead, and he couldn’t move.

"Nathalie, do you really think I’d blame you?" Morris couldn’t grasp how she could think he’d be upset with her when he had practically put his heart on a platter for her.

But because of his fragile state, he had to keep his distance. Being too close might reveal his true feelings, and she’d catch on.

With teary eyes, Nathalie turned and left, feeling defeated.

She’d made her feelings so clear, yet Morris still hadn’t given her an answer.

Morris stood there, staring at her lonely silhouette as she walked away. Unconsciously, he added a spoonful of sugar to the pot.
