When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 490 Of High Moral Standing

Once Vivian started talking, she couldn’t stop.

“Ceci, I gave it some thought. You had mistaken him for Nicholas in the past, and that’s why you always felt he didn’t love you, thinking he was a jerk. He was essentially a stranger to you, devoid of any emotional connection. How could he possibly offer you any feelings? The only issue was, it wasn’t fair to blame you for the mistakes made by your mother and brother. When it comes down to it, he’s just a prideful, petty man. But at least he’s not the worst.”

With these thoughts in mind, Vivian felt slightly relieved.

Cecilia was listening attentively. “Hmm, I understand it all.”

However, Vivian suddenly changed her tone. “But now, besides his amnesia, he’s also blind. Ceci, being with him will be tough for you.”

How could a blind man make a living, especially being born into high society? He surely couldn’t. lift a finger or shoulder any responsibilities.

Upon thinking about all these, Vivian started to worry again.

“Ceci, you should be careful not to be blinded by beauty. I believe that compared to him, Calvin is a better choice.”

Vivian’s change of tone didn’t surprise Cecilia much; she knew Vivian was doing it all for her sake.

“Why are we bringing up Calvin again? The last time we spoke, he made it clear that he only sees me as a friend. He also implied that I’m not good enough for him.”

Vivian was about to say something else when a housekeeper came over and announced that dinner was ready.

She had to quickly end the call, deciding to meet the amnesiac se mbag in private. She planned to make him understand the situation and back off, so as not to waste Cecilia’s and her two perfect children’s time.

When Cecilia went to have dinner, she saw Nathaniel standing not too far away as she turned around. She wasn’t sure if he had heard what she’d just said.

Upon hearing her footsteps, Nathaniel slightly parted his thin lips. “We can eat now.”

“All right.”

“I didn’t mean to overhear your phone call,” Nathaniel stated solemnly.

Cecilia unconsciously let out a laugh. “Hmm, got it.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Nathaniel may have said those words aloud, but internally, he was mulling over the remark made by Cecilia right before he entered the room.

What does she mean by he only sees me as a friend, that I’m not good enough for him? Could it be that Cecilia still had feelings for Calvin? And that I’m just an option?

He only dared to ponder, not brave enough to actually ask Cecilia.

On the other hand, after finishing her meal, Vivian had something weighing on her mind. She knocked on the door of George’s study.

“Come in,” said George.

Vivian walked in. “Grandpa.”

“Is something wrong, Vivian? Are you not feeling comfortable living at home?”

Vivian saw nothing but kindness in George’s eyes.

He was so kind that it made Vivian feel guilty. “Grandpa,” she couldn’t help but confess, “I need to be honest with you again. Jonathan is not Zachary’s son, he’s not your great–grandson.”

This was the second time that George had heard Vivian speak in this manner.

His expression shifted subtly, then he turned to Vivian and asked, “Is he your child?”

Vivian wanted to say that Jonathan was hers so as not to disappoint George, after all, she had no ties with the Sinclair family.

“Indeed, he’s mine,” she affirmed. “As for who the father is, I can’t disclose that to you. All I can say is, it’s not Zachary’s.”

She didn’t want to deceive George’s emotions.

George knew that his judgment of character was spot on. Vivian was indeed of high moral standing.

It was known that the wealth of the Sinclair family was immeasurable. If Vivian acknowledged that Jonathan was of the Sinclair’s bloodline, as his mother, she too would have access to this. boundless fortune. But she did not.

“Silly child,” he gently chided, “Jonathan is your son, and you are my daughter–in–law. Naturally, he is the great–grandson of the Sinclair family. Whether or not he is Zach’s doesn’t matter.”

“What?” Vivian was stunned.

The Sinclair family had only one heir, Zachary, who was their sole pride and joy. George had just this one beloved grandson, who was held in even higher esteem than Nathaniel.

After all, the Rainsworth family had many descendants.

But surprisingly, George didn’t seem to care if Zachary had fathered Jonathan.
