When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 855

Chapter 855 Playing Matchmaker

As Jessica and Zachary chatted enthusiastically, the former didn't forget to express concern for Nathaniel. “Are you cold? Would you like me to fetch a coat for you? The wind is quite strong up here in the mountains. We wouldn't want you catching a cold.”

Nathaniel took a sip of his wine. “I'm not cold. No need.”

Seeing his indifference, Zachary began stirring up trouble. “Nathaniel, it's not every day Ms. Quill serves someone. Don't embarrass her.”

Vivian couldn't tolerate what he said.

Zachary enjoyed playing matchmaker for Nathaniel and Stella in the past, and now, he's trying to set up Jessica with Nathaniel?

She walked over and smacked the back of Zachary's head.

Zachary turned around, and upon seeing Vivian. he asked irritably, “What are you doing?”

Though he raised his voice, he dared not retaliate.

“Come over here,” Vivian commanded.

Zachary was about to stand up and see what she was up to when Jessica chimed in, “Zachary, is this your wife? She looks much safer than those you've dated in the past.”

Much safer? Is that a way to compliment a woman?

Vivian was no pushover. With a playful smile, she replied, “Oh, you flatter me! I'm nowhere near as safe as you are. Just look at you—thin as a reed, flat in the front and back. It's no wonder you haven't found a boyfriend yet!”

The color drained from Jessica's face in an instant.

She had always seen herself as quite attractive, the quintessential girl-next-door. She believed that no man could resist her playful charm. Yet now, Vivian had painted her as someone unable to find a boyfriend.

“Zachary, your wife is quite fierce,” Jessica commented.

Zachary had encountered his fair share of women, yet he struggled to navigate the complex subtleties of their interactions. If he truly understood what made a woman pretentious, he wouldn't have fallen for Stella's deception in the first place.

“Don't mind her. She's always been like that,” Zachary said.

Jessica was taken aback.
