When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1767 George Is Acting Weird

Jonathan didn't call them out on it he simply obeyed and returned to his room.

After all, he was already privy to most of the secrets between Vivian and his mother.

Once only Vivian and Cecilia remained in the living room, Vivian finally sighed and confessed, "Ceci, I still haven't told Zachary or Grandpa George about my pregnancy."

"Why haven't you said anything?" She glanced at Vivian's figure, faintly noticing the subtle signs of pregnancy.

Vivian lowered her gaze, absentmindedly fiddling with her fingers. "Zachary's attitude toward me is so unpredictable. Sometimes he's warm, sometimes he's distant. To be honest, I don't trust rich heirs like him. I don't think he's reliable."

From the beginning, she had only ever been in love once-and that love had shattered her.

Even now, despite being married, her walls remained firmly in place.

"But you can't hide this forever," Cecilia stated bluntly.

"I know."

Vivian let out a sigh, then suddenly turned her gaze toward Cecilia. "Ceci, I heard from Jon that you're planning a trip to Drocver. Can I tag along?"

"Huh?" Cecilia was caught off guard. "Why do you want to go to Drocver?"

"I told them I'd be working there for a year or so and wouldn't be coming back."

She was genuinely terrified of what would happen if she and Zachary went their separate ways-of fighting over their child in the aftermath.

Cecilia immediately understood. Vivian wanted to leave, give birth in secret, and return only when everything was settled.

"Will Old Mr. Sinclair even agree?" Cecilia asked.

Vivian flashed a confident smile. "Don't worry about Grandpa George. He adores me-he'll definitely agree."

"All right then. Once you've made up your mind, let me know." As Vivian's best friend, Cecilia would support her without hesitation.

"Thank you, Ceci," Vivian said, pulling her into a tight embrace.

Cecilia gently patted her back. "Just make sure you think this through-not just for yourself, but for your child as well. Would they want to grow up without a father?"

She laid out the pros and cons, ensuring Vivian understood the weight of her decision.

Vivian held on a little tighter. "Okay, I will."

After talking for a while, Cecilia was preparing to leave when she saw George returning.

The old man's eyes lit up at the sight of her. "Ceci!"

"Old Mr. Sinclair," Cecilia greeted warmly. "How was your check-up? How's your health?"

George coughed a few times before managing a wry smile. "It's bearable. Been like this for years-just dragging along."

Cecilia knew the old man was concerned that she might take Jonathan away.

"You need to take better care of yourself and avoid overexerting," she advised gently.

"All right, I will," George assured her. Then, after a brief pause, he sighed, a wave of guilt crossing his face "Ceci, thank you for letting Jon stay here. If there's ever anything you need, you must let me know."

"Of course," Cecilia nodded.

George wasn't one for empty words. During Cecilia's disappearance, he had helped oversee Cecinoveldrama

Corporation, ensuring it remained stable. Even now, as she took over the Jamieson family business, he leveraged his network of old friends in the business world to support her.

As Cecilia left, George stood at the doorway, watching her retreating figure with a sense of melancholy.

"Vivian," he called out.

Vivian approached him. “Grandpa George, what's wrong?"

George glanced at Vivian's face and let out a faint, bitter smile. "It's nothing."

Vivian sensed something was off. He was acting strangely today, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Before she could press further, George changed the subject. "By the way, where's Zach?"

Vivian pointed upstairs. "He's been in his room all day. Hasn't come out once. I have no idea what's going on with him."

George's expression shifted slightly, as if

his mind. He gestured for Vivian to take a seat, explaining to her what was going on. Śwnovel
