Chapter 1641 The Heart Is Hard To Read

After cleaning up her room, Vivian lay down in exhaustion.

The housekeeper brought her a variety of nourishing food. "Mrs. Sinclair, do eat more. Old Mr. Sinclair said that you young folks now expended a lot of energy and need to replenish your strength to conceive a child more quickly."

Following all that had happened, Vivian felt fearful at the sight of soup.

"No. Please take it away quickly. Just looking at it makes me nauseous."

"Huh? You're feeling nauseous already? That shouldn't be it," the housekeeper mused to herself.

Vivian wished nothing more than for the ground to open up and swallow her whole.

After sending the housekeeper away, she couldn't resist calling Cecilia.

"Ceci."

Cecilia was at the company that day, brushing up on business matters when she received a call from Vivian. She couldn't help but ask, "Vivian, what's up?"

"Oh well, it's a long story."

Vivian then relayed everything that had happened the previous night to Cecilia.

Hearing all that, Cecilia found it utterly unbelievable.

"Old Mr. Sinclair actually used that tactic?"

"Yes. I feel deeply regretful now." Vivian sighed before adding, "There's something else I haven't been able to figure out."

"What is it?" Cecilia asked.

Vivian recounted the incident of her having been kidnapped the day before her wedding in full detail. After listening to the her, Cecilia was also puzzled.

"So, what exactly happened that night?"

"I don't know either. Until now, I still find it all so strange. When I was out of it that night, I could have sworn I saw those men..."

Vivian trailed off without finishing her utterance.

"This matter must be investigated thoroughly." Cecilia was worried that the kidnappers might have done something else if they didn't look into the issue properly.

Vivian nodded. “Yeah, I think so too. Zachary has already sent someone to investigate it. But it's been so long now. We couldn't find anything back then, so I reckon it's going to be hard to find out the truth."

"With effort, one can achieve anything. I'll also have Sven look for leads," replied Cecilia.

"Okay. I won't intrude on you any longer, then." Vivian subsequently ended the call.

At some point, Zachary had appeared at the door. "Are you still tired?"

Following his question, Vivian's face flamed.

"I'm fine."

Zachary walked in and naturally took a seat by the bed.

Upon seeing that, Vivian reached out and pushed him. "Why are you sitting here?"

"I'm here to hold you accountable." Zachary was practically glowing then.

"As I've said, I'm not going to take responsibility. Don't overthink things. In today's society, such a thing is normal," Vivian explained.

Zachary, however, demurred. "Anyway, we're married now. Don't even think about backing out."

After he had said that, he sauntered out while humming and made a call to his buddies.

He acted so elated that his fair-weather friends couldn't help but ask, "Has Stella changed her mind?" "What does this have to do with Stella?"

At the mention of Stella, Zachary even snorted before adding, "The sight of her alone makes me sick." Hearing that, everyone began to ask who exactly made him so happy.noveldrama

"Naturally, it's my wife," Zachary declared with a grin.

His friends were all astonished.

Once upon a time, he had a strong distaste for Vivian, complaining about her lack of refinement and her penchant for resorting to physical violence, among other things. Why had he changed so quickly now? Sure enough, a man's heart is hard to read.

At Ceci Corporation, Cecilia had come to understand most of her job responsibilities. Suddenly, Charlotte hurried over. "Boss, Mdm. Queenie is here."

Ever since Queenie found out that Cecilia was her biological daughter, she visited Ceci Corporation frequently under the pretext of

discussing a collaboration. But

reality, she was unilaterally providing

benefits to Ceci Corporation.
