Chapter 1771 Barbecue Meal
Zachary was momentarily taken aback.
Back at Sinclair Manor, Vivian always ordered the chef to cook simple and mild dishes—never anything remotely this spicy.
As she grilled the beef, she said casually, “You might not know this about me, but whether I'm feeling down or in a great mood, I enjoy eating something spicy.”
Zachary frowned slightly. “Does it actually help?”
“Of course. I think spicy food helps me relax. If you don't believe me, try it for yourself.”
Without waiting for his response, Vivian grilled a piece of meat and placed it on his plate.
Zachary hesitated but didn't want to reject her kindness. He took a bite. The heat exploded on his tongue—numbing, fiery, and intense. His eyes widened as he immediately reached for his water.
“It's too spicy. You should eat less of this; it's not good for your health,” Zachary warned.
Vivian gave a small smile, understanding his concern. “I know. I only have it occasionally.”
She was pregnant, and most home-cooked meals didn't sit well with her. But this barbecue meal was different—it was irresistibly appetizing.
“Here, have a bit more. You'll get used to it,” Vivian encouraged.
Zachary nodded and started eating.
She was right. At first, the spice overwhelmed him, but the more he ate, the more tolerable it became. Before long, both of them were sweating, gulping down water to cool the heat.
After a hearty meal, Vivian leaned back, patting her stomach with satisfaction.
Zachary felt much better—relaxed, even. His mood had noticeably lifted. “Your method really works.”
“Of course! I always do this,” Vivian replied with a beaming smile.
Zachary found himself staring at her, momentarily lost in thought.
Noticing his gaze, Vivian shifted uncomfortably. “Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked.

How can I see the new chapters?...
I was wondering why the books need to be so long. May the author start another book instead of keeping us so heartbroken???...
I have read the new next chapters in the application. So there will be new enemies of Cecilia, Cassandra will still ruin her life. There is no end and edge to Cecilia's enemies and the novel too...
Vivian is so stupid...
from Vivian and Madeline's side this is no longer love. this is some kind of malice and deception. Vivian: my grandfather loves me and will do whatever I want... Madeline: he did nothing wrong, but I will take away all custody... some kind of agony... it's time to put an end to the novel!...
