When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1767

Chapter 1767 George Is Acting Weird
Jonathan didn't call them out on it—he simply obeyed and returned to his room.

After all, he was already privy to most of the secrets between Vivian and his mother.

Once only Vivian and Cecilia remained in the living room, Vivian finally sighed and confessed, “Ceci, I still haven't told Zachary or Grandpa George about my pregnancy.”

“Why haven't you said anything?” She glanced at Vivian's figure, faintly noticing the subtle signs of pregnancy.

Vivian lowered her gaze, absentmindedly fiddling with her fingers. “Zachary's attitude toward me is so unpredictable. Sometimes he's warm, sometimes he's distant. To be honest, I don't trust rich heirs like him. I don't think he's reliable.”

From the beginning, she had only ever been in love once—and that love had shattered her.

Even now, despite being married, her walls remained firmly in place.

“But you can't hide this forever,” Cecilia stated bluntly.

“I know.”

Vivian let out a sigh, then suddenly turned her gaze toward Cecilia. “Ceci, I heard from Jon that you're planning a trip to Drocver. Can I tag along?”

“Huh?” Cecilia was caught off guard. “Why do you want to go to Drocver?”

“I told them I'd be working there for a year or so and wouldn't be coming back.”

She was genuinely terrified of what would happen if she and Zachary went their separate ways—of fighting over their child in the aftermath.

Cecilia immediately understood. Vivian wanted to leave, give birth in secret, and return only when everything was settled.

“Will Old Mr. Sinclair even agree?” Cecilia asked.

Vivian flashed a confident smile. “Don't worry about Grandpa George. He adores me—he'll definitely agree.”

“All right then. Once you've made up your mind, let me know.” As Vivian's best friend, Cecilia would support her without hesitation.

“Thank you, Ceci,” Vivian said, pulling her into a tight embrace.

Cecilia gently patted her back. “Just make sure you think this through—not just for yourself, but for your child as well. Would they want to grow up without a father?”
