When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1772

Chapter 1772 Do You Want A Child
“What's wrong? Do you want a child?” Zachary asked directly, oblivious to Vivian's feelings.

Since Zachary had already said he didn't like children, what else could Vivian say?

She furrowed her brows. “Of course not. I'm not good with kids anyway. Forget it.”

As she spoke, her fingers unconsciously tightened around the corner of the blanket.

Hearing this, Zachary felt a subtle pang of disappointment.

He had always assumed Vivian liked children—after all, she spent so much time with Jonathan.

Both of them were lost in their own thoughts, feeling blue.

Vivian tossed and turned, unable to sleep. In the end, she made up her mind—tomorrow, she would speak with George about her upcoming business trip.

In the morning, Vivian woke early, and so did Zachary. He seemed noticeably more energetic than the day before, as if completely rejuvenated.

“You're up. When will you have some free time? We should go for barbecue again.” He wanted to spend more time with her.

Vivian, however, wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the idea. Seizing the moment, she replied, “That might have to wait until next year.”

George, who was sitting at the dining table, looked utterly perplexed. “Next year? Vivian, why so long?”

Vivian turned to him. “Grandpa George, I was just about to tell you—I'm planning to move to Drocver for work. I might not be able to return for a year, maybe even longer.”

In an instant, George's mood soured. “Why the sudden decision to go so far away?”

Vivian glanced toward Jonathan, hoping the boy might chime in and help her out.

Jonathan's mind was preoccupied with thoughts of George's health. Feeling powerless to help, he simply lowered his head and continued eating in silence.

“Grandpa George, I'm still young. I just want to go out and explore the world—please?” Vivian pleaded, her tone light and playful.

Ever since she had married into Sinclair Manor, George had never denied her anything. He had always granted her every request without hesitation.
