Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 1034

Lincoln strolled over, hands clasped behind his back, and planted himself squarely in the doorway, radiating the kind of authority that dared anyone to challenge him. “You think marrying a Stewart girl is a walk in the park? No proper dowry, no deal—not even if the king himself shows up.”

Jules jabbed a finger at Lincoln, his mustache practically quivering with frustration. “You’re being ridiculous—so old-fashioned! The kids are in love. As parents, we should be rooting for them, not putting up roadblocks.”

Lincoln huffed, “Listen, if you want my daughter’s hand, you’ve got to show you’re serious. Bring a real dowry, or don’t bother asking.”

Nathalie’s face tightened with worry. “Dad! You promised me you wouldn’t make things tough for Nathan!”

Lincoln stuck out his lower lip. “Sweetheart, I promised I wouldn’t demand a king’s ransom. Didn’t say I wouldn’t ask for anything at all, did I?”

Morris quietly reached into his jacket and pulled out a small box. Inside: a dazzling set of emerald jewelry, a bank card, a property deed, and a set of car keys.

He gently placed the box in Nathalie’s hands. “These jewels belonged to my mother—her most precious keepsake. In her letter, she told me to give them to the woman I want as my wife. That’s you.”

“The bank card holds my dowry—just a billion dollars I managed to earn recently. It’s nothing compared to your family’s wealth, but it’s what I have. I want you to know, if you’re my wife, everything I have is yours.”

“This deed is for a beachside villa I bought. You once told me you loved the sea, that you dreamed of living where spring flowers bloom by the shore. I searched everywhere before I found the perfect spot. I hope you’ll love it.”

“And this car—looks ordinary, right? But I built it myself with a new material. Even in an accident, it won’t explode or shatter. It’s way safer than anything else on the road.”

“Nathalie, this is all I have for your dowry. I hope you don’t mind.”

Nathalie’s eyes filled with tears. She was already overwhelmed.
