When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 489 Hide His Feelings

Vivian listened to the people inside belittling her, her brows slightly furrowed. “Zachary, your grandfather is calling you home for dinner.”

When she suddenly spoke up, everyone instantly fell silent.

One by one, they first looked at her with confusion, then pondered over her words.

Go home for dinner?

The rich young men in the room regained their composure, each stifling a laugh.

The young heir of the Sinclair family was called home for dinner by a woman?

Zachary’s expression shifted dramatically as he attempted to ignore her.

Vivian couldn’t be bothered to repeat herself, instead, she turned her attention to Jonathan beside her.

Reluctantly, Jonathan said, “Grandpa said that tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. If you come home late again, don’t bother coming back ever.”

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Vivian. “Mommy,” he said, “we’ve delivered our message. Let’s go home now.”

Vivian nodded.

However, before she left, she glared angrily at Zachary’s friends who were present, and loudly declared, “We, the Kennedy family, may be of humble origins, but we’ve never aspired to latch onto the prestige of the Sinclair family. It was the Sinclair family who wanted to marry into ours.”

After she finished speaking, she left with Jonathan in tow.

To be honest, she felt shy to be making such a statement in front of so many people.

Only then did everyone realize that the woman before them was Vivian. No wonder Zachary disliked her; she was quite a fierce presence.

She was also accompanied by a child.

“Zach, are they your… fiancée and son?” Darren asked as he watched the scene unfold.

Zachary gave a sheepish grin as he recalled their message and responded with a simple, “Hmm.”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Darren, I suddenly remembered I have something to attend to, I must take my leave now.”

Zachary hastily picked up his coat and left.

Not long after he left, whispers of discussion filled the air behind him, “That’s Vivian, she sure is bold, daring to speak to Zachary like that.”

“She must be banking on the fact that she’s engaged to the eldest grandchild of the Sinclair family.”

“Why do I feel like that kid doesn’t quite resemble Zachary?”

“Are you trying to get yourself killed…”

After calling for Zachary, Vivian and Jonathan got into a private car and headed back to Sinclair Manor.

No sooner had they arrived home, they received a call from Cecilia.

Cecilia inquired if Jonathan and Vivian could join them for the New Year celebrations.

Vivian felt somewhat troubled. “Ceci, Old Mr. Sinclair still believes that Jonathan is his grandson. He’s invited a lot of Sinclair family relatives over for the New Year’s celebration tomorrow.”

“Is the whole day tomorrow fully occupied?” Cecilia asked.

Vivian nodded. “Yes, the day is full. Old Mr. Sinclair really took a great liking to Jonathan. I can’t even begin to imagine how disappointed he would be if he knew the truth.”

At that, Cecilia found a secluded corner.

“Vivian, I plan to start anew with Nathaniel.”

Vivian was only slightly surprised. “Are you sure about this?”

“Yes, I want to give us a chance.”

“No matter what decision you make, I’m here to support you.”

Vivian knew well that it was impossible for Cecilia and Nathaniel to become strangers, as they had two children between them.

“Do you want to tell him that those two are actually his?”

Cecilia gazed out at the pitch–black night. “For now, no.”

“He’s kind to me now because he’s lost his memory. I’m not sure if he’ll be the same once he regains his memory..

Vivian nodded. “You’re right. What if he’s just putting on an act?”

At this point, she contradicted herself.

“It’s impossible. If he doesn’t like you, what’s the point in pretending? Nathaniel, being as proud as he is, would certainly not feign affection.”
