When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1792

Chapter 1792 An Argument
“Why would I go back if you're not? I've made up my mind. If you're staying here to work for a year, then I'll do the same. We can go back together next year.” Zachary stated matter-of-factly.

Vivian was taken aback once again. Regaining her composure, she pleaded earnestly, “Most of the Sinclair family's businesses are in Tudela. Wouldn't your presence here just get in the way? Besides, Grandpa is getting on in years and needs someone by his side. You should really go back.”

Zachary's eyes were firmly fixed on her, hoping to discern something from her gaze.

“Vivian, why do I get the feeling that you don't want me here? Why is that?”

Vivian's throat tightened.

Zachary continued to speak. “Isn't it good that I'm here? We can take care of each other.”

Upon hearing his words, Vivian was utterly at a loss for an excuse.

She turned her head away, her hand tightening into a fist.

“I don't care. I just want to be alone. You can go back. I don't want to be with you.”

These words pierced Zachary's heart like a knife.

Suddenly, he felt the room become stifling, somewhat suffocating.

He feigned indifference, casually asking with a teasing tone, “You don't happen to have someone else, do you? Are you afraid I'll find out?”

He was joking, of course, but when he looked at Vivian, he was incredibly serious, fearing that she might actually admit to it.

“Of course not,” Vivian immediately denied. “I'm not that kind of woman. Regardless, we're married, so don't worry. Even if I were to stay here alone for a year, or even ten years, I would never betray you.”

She had her own moral boundaries.

Otherwise, after she initially parted ways with Ernest, she would have already found someone else instead of staying single the entire time.

Upon hearing this, Zachary finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Well, if that's the case, there's no need for you to push me away. If you don't like living with me, that's fine. I can find another place and we can just meet up occasionally.”

“No way!” Vivian refused again.

However, Zachary was persistent. “I don't care. I'm staying right here. Wherever you are, that's where I'll be. You have to take responsibility for me. Even if you really can't stand me, you still have to put up with me.”

The two of them ended up in a stalemate.
