When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 491 Nothing To Fear

“Vivian, don’t overthink it,” George explained further, “What matters to me is you as a person. Even if you and Zach don’t have children, you’re still the only granddaughter–in–law I acknowledge.”

Vivian had never felt such validation from someone like she did that day. Her eyes were brimming with emotion as she said, “Grandpa, thank you.”

Upon reflection, marrying into the Sinclair family might not be such a bad idea after all.

Zachary had lost his parents at a young age. Hence, she wouldn’t have the typical mother–in–law. and daughter–in–law conflicts. Moreover, his only grandfather treated her exceptionally well.

“No need to be so formal with me.”

Vivian thought about the matter she had been keeping to herself, unable to resist, she said, “Grandpa, I was thinking of meeting a friend tomorrow, is that okay?”

“Of course, that’s fine. However, Jonathan must stay. I’ve already arranged to meet with those elders. They’ve travelled from out of town, specifically to see my brilliant great–grandson.”

“All right.”

Vivian also intended to have a one–on–one with Nathaniel.

The following day.

Outside, the snow was falling thick and heavy once again. Cecilia and Nathaniel truly did not return to Rainsworth Manor.

Originally, Elena had intended to take advantage of their return to give Cecilia a good private lesson, but she had to let it go.

After having breakfast, Nicholas left Cassandra and Elena to head off to work.

Upon seeing the situation, Cassandra couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have to work even on New Year’s Day?”

“Indeed, a few projects at the company have been problematic recently,” Nicholas‘ voice was listless, a hint of impatience flickering in his dark eyes.

“Let me know if there’s anything you need help with.”

Cassandra spoke graciously in Elena’s presence.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“All right.”

Nicholas gave a slight nod and walked out of the restaurant.

Elena was quite pleased with Cassandra. “Cassandra, you know that Nicholas has only recently taken over the company, don’t take it to heart.”

Cassandra nodded. “Mhm, I understand. A few days ago, I mentioned to my mother that she should consider collaborating with Orion Corporation when she has the time.”

The woman referred to as “mother” by Cassandra was Queenie.

Upon hearing this, Elena grew even fonder of Cassandra.

In recent times, Nicholas‘ position at Orion Corporation was unstable. Over the past few months, several projects had been snatched away by a foreign company, one after another.

There was quite a bit of discontent among the shareholders in the company.

If Orion Corporation could collaborate with Jamieson Group after the New Year, it would shut those shareholders up.

“How can I ever thank you?”

“I’m already engaged to Nicholas, there’s no need to be so formal with me,” Cassandra said with a sweet smile, shifting the topic effortlessly. “By the way, are Cecilia and Nathaniel really not coming back to celebrate the New Year today?”

Elena’s gentle demeanor instantly changed upon the mention of Cecilia.

“Nathaniel has lost his memory and is now completely reliant on Cecilia. If Cecilia doesn’t come over, he won’t either.”

“Did Cecilia forbid Nathaniel from coming home for the holidays? I think everyone wants to enjoy the festivities together as a family.” Cassandra fanned the flames.

Elena found that her words made sense.

“I’ll go take a look in a bit.”

“All right.”

Cassandra took a sip of water, skillfully concealing the triumph in her eyes.

How could Cecilia compete with her when Elena didn’t even like her?

Meanwhile, Daltonia Villa.

Cecilia, Nathaniel, and Elliot were making ravioli together.

Nathaniel, unable to see, simply assisted from the side.

Before long, his phone rang. He answered the call, and a familiar female voice echoed from the other end.

“Mr. Rainsworth, I’m Vivian, a childhood friend of Ceci. Do you have some free time now? I’d like Vivian sat in the car, gazing at the distant villa, and mustered up the courage to speak.

“Sure.”

After ending the call, Nathaniel gave a brief word to Cecilia before he walked out.

Vivian was sitting in the car, her heart pounding as she saw Nathaniel emerge. She couldn’t explain her sudden nervousness, so she tried to reassure herself.

He’s blind, there’s nothing to fear.
