When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1638

Chapter 1638 The Pot Calling The Kettle Black
Zachary felt as if he was going to lose his mind, constantly teetering between retaining his sanity and surrendering to his desire.

Vivian wasn't any better. Having been single for so many years, she had needs too.

“Zachary, y-you...” she stammered with her head lowered.

Zachary realized their suggestive postures and immediately dropped his hold on her.

“I'll go and check out the other rooms.”

“Okay,” Vivian agreed fervently.

She initially thought that keeping her distance from Zachary would help. Unfortunately, it proved to be of no use.

She felt as though she was on the verge of breaking down.

Zachary also felt terrible. He went to the other rooms, only to discover that all of them were locked.

He wearily returned to the living room.

Vivian sat there awkwardly, neither of them daring to utter a word.

“How about I call for backup?” Vivian suggested on a rare moment of cleverness.

However, Zachary shook his head. “It won't do any good. I just checked, and our phones are nowhere to be found.”

“What?” Vivian felt all the more depressed.

She truly felt miserable right then, wishing nothing more than to devour Zachary bit by bit.

Zachary was in no better shape. He decided to divert their attention by initiating a conversation. “How about we talk for a bit?”

“Sure.” Vivian nodded repeatedly. “What should we talk about?”

Zachary wasn't sure what to talk about either. Suddenly, he asked, “How did you and Ernest get acquainted?”

Speaking of Ernest, Vivian felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, offering her a brief respite.

“It was a chance encounter at school. He was strikingly handsome and a law student back then. Rumor had it that he'd never been in a relationship, so I decided to pursue him.” As she recalled the past, indescribable emotions assailed her. “I initially thought he'd be hard to win over, but surprisingly, it turned out to be very easy.”
