When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 857 She Is Our Guest

Vivian’s mood immediately soured. “Zachary, why didn’t you ask Jessica to help out? Is she pregnant too?”

Zachary said, “She’s our guest.”

“Guest? Didn’t she come to take care of Nathaniel and Ceci? Why are we serving her now?” Vivian was fine with serving Nathaniel, whom she used to dislike, but there was no way she would serve Jessica.

“Why are you being so petty?“.

“I’m being petty?” Vivian snapped, her anger flaring. Here she was, grilling skewers and reeking of cooking fumes, while not far away, Jessica was pretentiously posing for photos under a redbud tree, skewer in hand. Even Cecilia, pregnant as she was, had come over to help carry ingredients and sprinkle insect repellent in every tent.

Vivian dragged Lucille away. “Lucy, let’s go. Since he enjoys being a simp, we should let him do so.”

“Huh?” Before Lucille could react, Vivian had already pulled her aside.

Zachary was bewildered.

Vivian halted Sven and Mason. “Gentlemen, you don’t have to help him. We’re all friends now, not superiors and subordinates. Since he’s willing to do all the work, we should let him do it.”

Sven didn’t know Zachary well enough.

However, Mason was acutely aware that Zachary was not one to be trifled with.

Witnessing Vivian’s audacious actions toward Zachary, Mason understood why George was willing to accept her as his granddaughter–in–law, even if she came with a child.

An unruly, stubborn man like Zachary indeed needed a wife who was bolder and dared to keep him in check.

“Vivian, you…” Zachary was on the verge of losing his temper.

That was when Jonathan cast a glance over. “Mr. Zachary, great–grandpa told me to report to him if you don’t listen to Vivian. I think it’ll take less than an hour for great–grandpa to get here by plane.”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Zachary surrendered.

Even if George wasn’t on Vivian’s side, he would still submit to Vivian for two reasons–Vivian and Cecilia were best friends, and he had already grown accustomed to Vivian’s scolding.

“A woman like her will never find a husband,” Zachary muttered.

Jessica noticed the situation over here and made her way to Zachary. “Let me help you.”

“You’ve become sensible,” praised Zachary.

With a radiant smile, Jessica took out a tissue and dabbed Zachary’s sweat away. “Of course,” she said, “I’ve grown up now, so stop treating me like a child.”

Ever since Zachary’s engagement to Vivian, George had been keeping a close eye on Zachary. He forbade him from associating with other women, be they actresses or models. It had been a long time since he had experienced the allure of a gentle woman.

Back when he was nice to Stella, it was merely a casual fling since he was still involved with his girlfriend.

Vivian felt disgusted watching their interaction.

Before long, more food was grilled, and Jessica personally brought it over to them.

She said to Vivian deliberately, “Vivian, Zachary is a charming man. I know your family background is modest, and you should feel lucky to be able to marry him. You shouldn’t embarrass him in front of others.”

The Kennedy family was also affluent, yet compared to the Sinclair family, their financial status was quite ordinary.

Jessica couldn’t fathom what kind of extraordinary luck Vivian had stumbled upon to have caught George’s eye.

“What does that have to do without you?” Vivian asked.

“Huh?” Jessica didn’t catch on.

“Stop being a busybody,” Vivian snapped.

Jessica’s face flushed at her words.
