When Her Death Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1569 A Great Grandchild

Vivian instinctively scooted back a bit. "Forget it. Get up

She also knew that she couldn't be too unreasonable.

Zachary picked up the blanket and covered himself before standing.

Vivian looked at him, puzzled. "Why are you taking the blanket with you?"

Of course, Zachary couldn't admit that he was genuinely starting to be interested in her.

Seeing him dash off, Vivian didn't press further.

She got up as well and began washing up.

Downstairs in the living room, Jonathan and George were already up early.

Jonathan was sitting with George, chatting and laughing as they played chess. When they heard the commotion upstairs, George was more delighted than anyone else.

"I think it's happening this time," George said, sounding as excited as a child.

Jonathan sighed. "Great-grandpa, you're cheating again. That black piece wasn't there earlier."

George scratched his head sheepishly. "Oh, Jon, how is your eyesight so sharp? In the future, I must make sure Vivian gives birth to a great-grandchild to me who is as obedient as you." Having spent so much time with Jonathan, George desperately wished he could keep a child like him close by.

But unfortunately, his grandson Zachary wasn't very helpful.

Take the Rainsworth family, for example-Nathaniel already had four children.

Four children!

George couldn't help but feel envious whenever he remembered last year's celebration at the Rainsworth Manor when two chubby little babies were presented at the one-month banquet. "Don't worry, Ms. Kennedy and Mr. Zachary will surely give you a plump, healthy great-grandchild," Jonathan said confidently.

He had long noticed Zachary's growing affection for Vivian.noveldrama

Just the other day, Zachary was even jealous because Vivian was checking out handsome men outside.

As for Vivian....

Jonathan figured she was still healing from past hurts and hadn't yet realized her true feelings.

"Good, good..." George's joy was evident.

Vivian descended the stairs. "Grandpa, Jon, what are you two talking about?"

"Ahem..." George coughed a few times, deliberately looking frail. He said pitifully, "Oh, what else could we talk about? Just wondering if I'll live to see you and that rascal Zach have a child." Vivian choked up, wishing she hadn't asked in the first place.

George looked at her eagerly. "Vivian, I won't pressure you. Only if you want to, of course."

Not pressure me? Last night, he had almost resorted to personally ensuring the two of us shared a room!

"Got it," Vivian sighed, then turned to Jonathan. "Jon, keep Grandpa company and don't let him overthink. After all, having a child isn't something that can happen anytime soon."

Her words were like a bucket of cold water, dampening George's spirits. He could only watch helplessly as Vivian walked away.

He had no choice. While he could scold Zachary, he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh to

Vivian.

Noticing George's disappointment, Jonathan tried to comfort him. "Great-grandpa, don't be sad. Everything will happen in due time." George nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, you're right. Everything will happen in due time.

At the Smith residence, Cecilia woke up early and went to check on Madeline to find out if she was okay after yesterday's incident.

Madeline's eyes had dark circles beneath them, clearly indicating she hadn't slept well.

She replied, "I'm fine. I just didn't sleep well."

"That's good to hear," Cecilia said, relieved as she prepared to leave.

Madeline grabbed her arm. "Ceci, your memory should have started to come back by now, right? Do you remember how you filed for divorce back then?"
