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?"

Given his exceptional background, how could he possibly still be a virgin?

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.

Had I known this was the reason, I would never have pressed for an answer. 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?"

"Are you suggesting that a man's

responsibility? Is a man's youth worth nothing? It's only fair that both of us take responsibility for each other, Zachary asserted

shamelessly.

Vivian found it downright absurd. "In that case, we're even. Neither of us is on the losing end."

She stood up to leave, but Zachary grabbed her, stopping her from doing so.

"Let go of me quickly," demanded Vivian.

"No, unless you agree to my request," Zachary countered, beginning to play hardball.

At just that moment, the door to the living room was opened from the outside.

Zachary and Vivian both turned their gazes over, only to see George standing there.

his eyes with a hand. "Oh my, what are you two doing? Why did you sleep on the couch in the living room?"

Vivian's face flushed crimson in an instant. She pushed Zachary away and scrambled to her feet.

Luckily, she had already put on her clothes.

Zachary quickly got up as well and reproached, "Grandpa, could you please knock next time?"noveldrama

"I even need to knock before

entering the living room now?"

George feigned ignorance. "Oh well, it looks like I can't simply come home anymore. You newlyweds should also have some decorum."

He spoke casually, amusing the housekeeper beside him to laughter.

Zachary rolled his eyes.

"You should be telling yourself that. What a creep.”

Despite his words, there was no resentment in his voice.

At that precise moment, a shriek echoed from Vivian's room.

Without a second word, Zachary rushed toward the room. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Cockroaches!"

"Don't be scared. I'll drive them away."

The couple's conversation drifted out of the room.

George chuckled knowingly. "It was all my credit. Otherwise, who knows when the two of them would have finally gotten intimate."

After he had said that, he had the housekeeper call someone over specifically for extermination.
