When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 862 Vivian And Zachary Share A Tent

Zachary genuinely thought Jessica was dumb.

It would take at least four to five hours to reach the peak of Redbud Hill from downtown.

He was just about to offer to walk Jessica down the mountain when Vivian appeared from outside the tent, holding a kerosene lamp in one hand and a cellphone in the other.

“What are you doing here?” Zachary asked in confusion.

Vivian wore a grim expression. “Grandpa called.”

“Why is he calling at this hour?”

Vivian, embarrassed to say that out loud in Jessica’s presence, gave Zachary a look.

“What’s the matter? Just spill it out,” Zachary said.

Vivian spoke directly. “He asked why you weren’t in my tent.”

Zachary felt awkward.

He said to Jessica, “Could you please step outside for a moment?”

“All right.” Reluctantly, Jessica went out.

Vivian looked at him in puzzlement. Didn’t you tell me to just spill it? Why are you asking her to leave?

“What else did Grandpa say?” Zachary asked.

Just at that moment, Zachary’s cell phone started to ring. He picked it up and saw it was a video call from his grandfather.

“Grandpa said that he couldn’t sleep without Jon. He suggested that we lie down while video chatting with him.”

“This old man…” Zachary was at a loss for words.

Vivian sighed as well.

George genuinely cared for her. No matter where he went, he would always bring her snacks and souvenirs.

A couple of days ago, he attended an auction and ended up bidding an astronomical amount of money for a necklace she mentioned was pretty. The incident even made the trending news.

He treated her better than family.

“Answer it, or Grandpa will start overthinking again,” Vivian urged.

Zachary had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer it.

“Why did you only answer the phone now?” The elderly man, with a head full of white hair yet still

“Ah, I just stepped out for a bit to use the restroom,” Zachary explained.

George then asked, “Where is Vivian?”

Vivian immediately leaned in. “Grandpa, I’m here.”

“Why are you two still standing? Lay down quickly. Can’t you see that I’m already lying down?” George asked, lying in bed.

With no other choice, Vivian unzipped Zachary’s sleeping bag and got inside. “Grandpa, I’m going to sleep now,” she announced.

Zachary furrowed his brows. Where am I supposed to sleep?

“Brat, Vivian’s going to sleep, and you should get some rest too. Leave the video on. I want to watch you guys sleep, lest you fool me again and lie to me that you’ve started dating but still not sharing a bed.”

George yearned for a great–grandson of his own, preferably one as intelligent as Jonathan.

All Zachary could say was, “Fine.”

After he put down his phone, he swiftly headed toward Vivian’s tent, took the sleeping bag from her tent, and hurriedly returned before laying down.

“I left the sleeping bag outside earlier. I just took it in.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Hold her,” George suddenly said.

“Huh?”

“It’s so cold on the mountain. I’m asking you to keep Vivian warm by holding her.” George was speechless. Hasn’t this grandson of mine been in numerous relationships? Why does he still need me to teach him the basics?

Although the old man appeared to be in good health, he had high blood pressure.

Zachary and Vivian didn’t want to upset George and aggravate his high blood pressure, so they could only embrace each other.

Only then was George satisfied. “All right, go to sleep now,” he said.

“Goodnight, Grandpa.” Vivian, feeling uneasy in Zachary’s arms, hoped George would fall asleep quickly.

Unfortunately, George was in such high spirits that he couldn’t sleep. He didn’t fall asleep until after they did.

Zachary had completely forgotten about Jessica, who was still standing outside.
