When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1640

Chapter 1640 You Must Take Responsibility
Vivian pushed Zachary away, her brows furrowed as she scoffed, “Are you taking me for a three-year-old kid?”

<i>Given his exceptional background, how could he possibly still be a virgin?</i>

Seeing that Vivian didn't believe him, Zachary bit the bullet and came clean with her. “Something happened when I was young, leading to a lack of interest in intimacy with women.”

Vivian stared at him wide-eyed.

“And?”

“I had no choice but to seek out the company of numerous women to convince others that I was normal,” Zachary confessed.

Still, Vivian couldn't quite believe it. “What happened when you were young?”

Zachary initially didn't want to speak of it. But ultimately, he relented.

“Do you know how my mother died?”

After moving into Sinclair Manor, Vivian had once inquired about Zachary's parents. All she knew was that they had passed away a long time ago but had no idea about the cause of their deaths.

Thus, she shook her head.

Only then did Zachary divulge, “Childbirth complications, amniotic fluid embolism.”

From her curious expression at the start, Vivian began to sympathize with Zachary.

Zachary continued, “When I arrived at the hospital, I was met with the gory sight.”

“I'm sorry,” Vivian murmured, feeling somewhat guilty.

<i>Had I known this was the reason, I would never have pressed for an answer.</i>

Zachary shook his head. “It's okay. Many years have passed, so it's much better now.”

It was only last night that he discovered that he was a normal man.

Vivian didn't know what else to say to comfort him.

Noticing the pity in her eyes on him, Zachary felt a bit irked and changed the subject. “So, you must take responsibility for me.”

“Huh?” Vivian was somewhat bewildered. “What for?”
