Chapter 852_When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 852 Climbing Up The Mountain

 Zachary coughed, and the room fell silent.

 He then led Vivian into his room.

 Vivian panicked. “Zachary, you jerk, what are you nning to do? I’ll call the police!”

 Zachary furrowed his brows, releasing her and swiftly closing the door behind him. “I’m not that desperate.”

 Vivian let out a sigh of relief.

 That’s true. Zachary has never been interested in me; he surely won’t do anything to me.

 “Then why did you bring me into your room?” she asked.

 He sat down, gazing up at her with a rare seriousness. “Vivian,” he began, “regardless of anything else, we are an engaged couple in the eyes of others. I don’t want people to think I’m cuckolded. If you truly have feelings for that pretty boy, you should tell Grandpa.”

 Only then did Vivian realize that he had misunderstood.

 “Are you crazy? There’s no hot water kettle in my room. I asked thendlord, and he said there’s more in Eric’s room.”

 “Where’s the hot water kettle?” Zachary didn’t buy her excuse. If she’s telling the truth, why was she acting so sneaky when she came out just now?

 Vivian wasn’t afraid of him misunderstanding, but more so that he’d go around spreading rumors. Therefore, she feltpelled to exin further, “The door to Eric’s room was open. When I went in earlier, he was taking a shower.”

 Zachary fell silent, realization dawning upon him.

 No wonder… But I thought Vivian’s a pervert.

 “Then you can use the one in my room. I don’t really need it anyway,” Zachary offered, in a rare gentlemanly manner.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.

 Vivian took the kettle, thanked him, and then left.

 After she left, themotion next door finally ceased, allowing Zachary to sleep peacefully.

 The following day, at the crack of dawn, everyone living next door to Lucille and Mason wore looks of exhaustion.

 Vivian also yawned.

 Everyone knew what had happened but chose to remain silent.

 “Are we going camping today?” asked Vivian.

 “Yes, I’ve arranged a variety of camping essentials for you guys. Feel free to take your pick,” said Eric.

 The girls walked over, but before they could make their selection, some workers began transporting camping gear up from the foot of the mountain.

 Mason said enthusiastically, “Mr. Palmer, you don’t need to bother. Mr. Rainsworth has arranged for someone to bring all the camping gear.”

 Eric remained silent, but Cecilia felt a pang of difort. It seemed disrespectful, especially since Eric had gone through the trouble of preparing everything, only for his efforts to be set aside.

 “We can still choose some.”

 “Yeah, I’ll choose some, too. I enjoy setting up my own tent,” Vivian stated.

 The girls showed Eric respect, disying a remarkable level of emotional intelligence.

 Once everyone was prepared, they began their ascent to the mountain’s peak.

 The area was already developed, with stone–paved roads leveled to perfection. Walking along these paths was quite effortless.

 Eric helped Cecilia by taking her bag. “You’re ady, and you shouldn’t be carrying things, especially when you’re pregnant.”

 Cecilia was just carrying a handbag; the rest of her belongings were handled by the bodyguards.

 She felt embarrassed to let Eric help her.

 Zachary and the others cast murderous gazes in Eric’s direction.

 “This pretty boy sure knows how to win a girl’s favor,” Zachary teased Mason.

 Mason nodded before rushing to Lucille’s side. “Lucy, let me carry your water bottle for you. As my girlfriend, you shouldn’t have to carry anything.”

 Zachary’s face darkened instantly.

 Vivian, holding a bag in one hand and a water bottle in the other, was left out.

 “Vivian, if you don’t mind, I can carry your bag and water for you.” Jonathan, ever the considerate boy, offered to help when she needed it most.
