When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1402

Chapter 1402 Spend My Life Peacefully
“But Grandpa, you must keep this matter a secret,” said Jonathan with a serious face.

If Vivian realized that he had taught Vincent to feign illness and deceive them, she would undoubtedly tear him to shreds.

Truth be told, he was quite helpless too.

George, for reasons unknown, had taken a liking to Vivian. He was intent on having her as his granddaughter-in-law, but was at a loss for how to make it happen.

To Jonathan's surprise, Vincent entrusted him with this daunting task and asked for his assistance.

George had been incredibly kind to Jonathan. As he had to return the favor, he felt compelled to help. Thus, he came up with this bad idea.

In the bedroom, Zachary and Vivian lay together, not daring to utter a word for fear of being overheard.

“Go to sleep.” Zachary coughed awkwardly.

“Okay.” Vivian nodded, closing her eyes.

Unfortunately, sleep still eluded her completely.

Zachary was thinking the same thing. He decided that he would remove the surveillance devices George had placed in his room the first thing next morning. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to live his life peacefully.

At this moment, in the Jaeger residence, Ernest was right by Jennifer's side.

Jennifer lay there, her body covered in injuries. A deep sense of guilt was apparent in her eyes as she said, “I'm sorry.”

Ernest's eyes welled up with tears.

“Why are you apologizing to me? Why would you do something so foolish?”

Jennifer took a deep breath and uttered, “I wanted to leave this world so I wouldn't be a burden to you. If I die, you will be free to find the one you love.”

It was then that Ernest understood why she had acted so impulsively. It was all because of what he had said.

Only death could separate the two of them.

“What kind of joke is this? The one I love is you. If you were to leave, how could I possibly find freedom?”

Ernest clasped her hand and gently pressed his lips to it.

“You're really naive. I only sought out Vivian to make it clear to her that we're never getting back together. I have no intentions of being with her.”
