When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522 Blunt Refusal
“The child is still sleeping. You can't see him now,” Nathaniel coldly rejected.

Zachary hadn't expected him to refuse so directly. “Nathaniel, this is my second time here. At least let me see him once, right? If he's sleeping, I promise not to disturb him.”

“No.”

Zachary was taken aback. Nathaniel was way too protective of his son, not even letting anyone see him.

Unwilling to leave without at least a glimpse, Zachary said, “Fine, I'll just go use the bathroom.”

If Nathaniel wouldn't let him see the kid, he'd sneak a look instead.

In the garden outside, Cecilia and Vivian were taking a walk together.

Vivian didn't bring up the news as she was afraid of upsetting Cecilia, so they chatted about recent events instead.

Understanding her concern, Cecilia assured her that she wouldn't compromise herself this time. That finally put Vivian at ease.

“If you ever feel unhappy, make sure to tell me. Don't keep it bottled up inside,” Vivian urged.

Cecilia nodded. “I know.”

Afterward, Cecilia asked, “How are things going for you at the Sinclair family?”

When the Sinclair family was mentioned, Vivian didn't seem as resistant as before.

“Other than Zachary, everything's been good. Honestly, it's better than living with my own family. Old Mr. Sinclair is very open-minded. I have a lot of freedom, and he's even supportive of me resuming my law career.”

As she mentioned George, Vivian suddenly remembered something. “Oh, by the way, Ceci, Old Mr. Sinclair knows that Jonathan isn't Zachary's son. But he said as long as the child is mine, that's all that matters. He truly treats me like his own granddaughter.”

Cecilia was genuinely happy for her after hearing this.

Vivian continued, “You have no idea how much he loves Jon. Today, Zachary wanted to bring Jon over, but Old Mr. Sinclair wouldn't let him. He insisted on keeping him with him.”

“Jon does seem to be the kind of kid that elderly figures adore.”

Cecilia could sense from Vivian's words how much George liked Jonathan, but she didn't pay too much attention, having never seen it herself.

As the two were having a pleasant conversation, a young voice suddenly called out. “Mommy.”

At first, Cecilia thought she misheard until she saw Elliot coming out of the room.
