Reborn From Oblivion

"Did my dad really put that much pressure on you?"

Morris's eyes flickered, "Not exactly. I just really don't want to get into advanced calculus. Nathalie, you know how much I dread studying. Just thinking about it makes my whole body ache..."

Nathalie cut through the charade, "It's not that you don't love learning. You've been reincarnated. In your past life, you were the genius everyone looked up to. This time around, you just don't want to waste time on stuff you've already got down pat."

Morris was taken aback for a moment. "When did you figure out I'm reincarnated?"

Nathalie replied, "In your past life, you and Ashley were the couple everyone admired... But now, you're avoiding her on purpose. That's when I knew you had come back."

Morris's usually calm face was suddenly filled with emotion. He squeezed her hand so tightly that Nathalie almost yelped.

"Admired? Me and Ashley? You—"

Nathalie blinked, her eyes wide with confusion as she looked at him. "Isn't it true? You were the heir to the Montgomery fortune, and she was the eldest Stewart daughter. You were the golden couple everyone talked about. Ow... that hurts..." Morris let go of Nathalie's hand, and all his pent-up emotions seemed to vanish. His eyes turned a deep shade of red, and when he spoke again, it was with a heavy heart, "Nathalie, in both my past and current lives, I've never loved Ashley." "What? How is that possible?" Nathalie was shocked.

"Then why did you marry her-"

"It was fake."

"You had a sham marriage?"

Morris shook his head firmly, "Nathalie, it was all just a facade."

Luckily, at that moment, Lincoln returned with some papers.

Nathalie gave Morris a reassuring look, "Nathan, don't worry. If my dad realizes he can't teach you, he'll back off. You won't have to deal with advanced calculus, and you definitely don't need to leave us."

Lincoln came over, beaming, "Nathan, here's a test. It's not too long, just eight questions. But back in the day, only two students nationwide got all of them right. My brother Jules and I."

Morris took the test, calming his previously turbulent emotions, and started working on it.

But his mind was still a mess.

Nathalie had lost her memory.

It was bizarre; she seemed to have forgotten only the most cherished moments they had shared.

What on earth had happened?

No wonder she was so cautious around him.noveldrama

He felt incredibly sad.

Logic told him he should be happy.

If she couldn't remember their beautiful past, she wouldn't be as heartbroken

when he left. But still, he was deeply saddened.

"Done."

Forty minutes later, Morris tossed the test paper back to Lincoln.

Lincoln stood there, speechless.

He checked his watch, frowning, "Forty minutes. How many questions did you get through?"

"All of them."

Lincoln glanced at Morris's paper and saw it was mostly blank, with just a few lines for each question. He frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Nathan, the questions are tough, but you need to have a spirit of exploration. However, when he reviewed Morris's answers, he was stunned.

Every question was answered perfectly, with just a few strokes outlining the key steps and solutions.
