Cameron burst out, "Nathalie, you can''t be so selfish. A child needs a dad, and I''m ready to co-parent with you."


    Nathalie snapped back to reality, her emotions leveling out. "Cameron, I lied. We don''t have a child."


    Cameron was already caught up in the fantasy of parenthood. He refused to face reality. "No, you''re lying. We must have a child. If you count the time from when you went abroad pregnant, she''d be around three now. You must have hidden her, right?" Nathalie shut her eyes, tears spilling out. "Cameron, have you forgotten? The moment I knew she was inside me, I didn''t hesitate to end it. I wasn''t going to have your child. Someone like you doesn''t deserve to be a parent." Cameron whimpered in pain, "What did I do to make you hate me so much?"


    Nathalie stayed silent.


    Suddenly, the maid rushed in, flustered, "Mr. Dawson, Mr. Nathan is here with the police."


    A flicker of panic crossed Cameron''s face. He grabbed Nathalie''s hand and dragged her upstairs.


    Nathalie fought back fiercely. "Cameron, you jerk! Let go of me. This is kidnapping. You''re breaking thew!"


    Cameron said, "Nathalie, you''d better hide with me. I''ll show you whether Nathan really cares about you. Once you see his true colors, you won''t be so foolishly devoted to him."


    "I don''t need to test his feelings for me. Cameron, you''re crazy."


    To her, Nathan was family, not a lover. Nathan didn''t need to put her first in everything. Someday, he''d have his own true love and kids. Nathalie felt that as long as Nathan didn''t hurt her, she''d always look out for him. Since Nathalie resisted so fiercely, Cameron tied her up and taped her mouth shut, leaving her in an upstairs room.


    He went to greet the guests while Nathalie squirmed to the window, straining to hear what was happening downstairs.


    Downstairs, Nathan arrived with the police, standing tall and distinct among the two burly officers. His


    demeanor was mature, and his handsome face seemed carved by time, both captivating and


    intimidating.


    For a moment, Cameron felt as if Nathan was older than him. In Nathan''s presence, he felt like a naive junior.


    Nathan approached Cameron, his slightly taller stature pressing down like a weight. Cameron felt the pressure. "Cameron, where''s Nathalie?"Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Cameron shrugged, "Nathan, what are you implying? She is missing, and you''re asking me for her? I could charge you with trespassing."


    Nathan showed his watch, revealing


    a tracking system that had

    Nathalie''s current location pegged at Cameron''s house. Cameron''s face fell


    "Cameron, Nathalie''s been missing for over a day. I tracked her using the system. She''s been here at your vi the whole time. Are you still iming her disappearance has nothing to do with you?"


    Cameron was stunned. Nathan and Nathalie having a tracking system meant their rtionship was very special. Nathalie''s presence was already formidable, but with Nathan''s support, Cameron feared he couldn''t handle it.


    Trying to stayposed, Cameron said, "Nathan, Nathalie is my ex-wife. Isn''t it normal for her to visit my home?"
