When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1637

Chapter 1637 Crawling With Cockroaches
That remark left Zachary somewhat speechless. “Of course. I'm much more handsome than that toy boy you like.”

“Which toy boy?” Vivian was lost for a moment.

“Ernest.” Zachary hadn't forgotten about that love rival of his.

Vivian's expression changed slightly. “I no longer like him for a long time now.”

Despite her claim, Zachary still noticed the change in her expression.

“Really?” Zachary enunciated, grasping her shoulders and looking right into her eyes.

For some reason, Vivian found herself unable to meet his gaze. She lowered her head. “Yes. I'm over him.”

But the more she said so, the less Zachary believed her.

After all, he had investigated Vivian and Ernest's past.

Back then, Vivian was determined to marry the impoverished man despite the Kennedy family's objection.

The impoverished man, Ernest, was also fearless in his quest to be with Vivian, almost losing his life in the process.

<i>Such a strong relationship is one I had never experienced. Who could ever forget such precious memories associated with youth?</i>

As Zachary dwelled upon it, an inexplicable surge of anger rose within him.

“Aren't we going to the hospital?” Vivian couldn't help but ask when the man suddenly fell silent.

<i>I wonder what's wrong with me today. I feel incredibly unwell despite leaning against him. Moreover, some bizarre thoughts are swirling around in my mind, tempting me to strip him bare to see if his figure is as good-looking as his face.</i>

Upon hearing her question, Zachary forced himself to stay lucid.

“Yeah. We're going to the hospital. Let's go.” He headed toward the door while dragging Vivian along.

But when he reached the door, he found out that it had been locked from the outside at some point.

“Open up!” he yelled angrily.

Regrettably, no one responded to him, for the housekeepers outside had all left.

Vivian leaned against the door. “Who locked the door? How is Grandpa supposed to come in later?”

“If he were to come in, he'd be nothing but a creep,” Zachary muttered under his breath.

“There's no point speaking about that now. Just bear with it in your room. If it gets too much, take a cold shower,” Zachary said.

Vivian nodded fervently. “Okay, okay.”

Once in the room, Zachary felt even more keyed up.

Just as he was about to leave, Vivian shrieked, “Ah, cockroaches!”

While doing so, she threw her arms around Zachary.

Only then did Zachary notice that the room was crawling with cockroaches.

Without a doubt, it could only be George's handiwork.

Vivian clung to him like a koala, not daring to let go. “Q-Quick, take me out of here.”

Immediately, Zachary scooped her up and left the room.

When they had gone out, Vivian finally let out a sigh of relief. However, their current postures and distance had then grown suggestive.
