Chapter 339 Nathalie comforted him, "Only those who betray their true feelings get let down. Nathan, you've been so wonderful to me, and I'll spend my life being just as wonderful to you." Nathan grinned. "So, we're both on the spage?" Nathalie sensed something wasn't quite right but brushed it off. "Of course." Meanwhile, Cameron felt like his heart was being eaten alive by a thousand ants. He stumbled back home, feeling utterly defeated. Sensing his gloom, Greta started fussing over him, making tea and cooking dinner. Her eagerness cfrom a place of insecurity. Kristina's actions, in a way, were an attempt to keep Cameron from being with Greta, and she feared he might leave her to honor Kristina's wishes. "Greta," Cameron suddenly called out.
Startled, Greta dropped to her knees in front of him. "Cameron, I beg you, don't break up with me. I know your parents aren't fond of me, but I really love you. I'll change and be a good wife. I'll cook and clean for you." Cameron reached out, gently stroking her cheek. "People say you're the source of all my troubles, but you've been the kindest soul to me. No matter how dire things got, you never left. Greta, don't worry. I won't ever give up on you. Even if the world turns against me, I'll stand by you. I trust my heart; you're a good woman and deserve all the love I can give." Greta's eyes welled up with tears. "Cameron, thank you for believing in me. It's my fault for not being able to give you a child, and that's why your mom was disappointed." A revelation hit her. "Cameron, let's have a child. Maybe it will bring peace to your mom's spirit. I believe if she could see how genuine I am, she'd forgive me." Cameron gently wiped her tears, moved by her words. "Greta, you're so amazing, how can they not see it? They callblind and clueless, but they are the ones who are really blind." He kissed her hand tenderly, his voice choked with emotion. "Greta, the doctors warned it's not safe for you to get pregnant. You're my only family left, and I won't let anything harm you. Let's not talk about kids anymore." Kristina's cremation was set for three days later. Griffin only invited a few close friends, and Cameron left out of the loop. Eventually, Benjamin secretly texted him: [Cameron, your mom's cremation is today. Why aren't you here? When Cameron got the message, he drove like a man possessed to the crematorium, running several red lights in his haste. But he was too late. He missed saying goodbye to Kristina and only saw Griffin holding his mom's urn.
Fueled by anger, Cameron confronted Griffin. "Dad, you went through all that trouble to take Mom's body. I thought you'd give her a grand goodbye. But instead, you just quietly cremated her? How could you do that to Mom?" Griffin's face was dark as he faced the furious Cameron. "Your mom didn't die from illness or a natural cause. Do you think her death is something to broadcast to the world?" Cameron stared at Griffin in
disbelief. "Why did she choose to die? Don't you see it? Sure, wasn't
the best son, but were you a good
husband? You cheated, had a mistress and an illegitimate child. To elevate your mistress, you blamed Mom for my mistakes, and pushed her to divorce you."
