Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 569

They stared at each other intently. Though they both knew the answer, she still wanted to hear it from his lips.

Zachary's mouth moved slightly, but no words came out.

The answer had always been in his heart. He'd thought countless times of telling Sarah, but never could.

"Zachary, why won't you answer?" Vivian's tone grew increasingly frantic. She'd never addressed him so coldly before.

But this time, she couldn't hold back anymore.

The long-term neglect, Zachary's special treatment of Sarah - each instance had pierced her heart like thorns, leaving her aching.

She'd wanted to ask Zachary his true feelings more than once. Even though she knew what he would choose, she still clung to hope.

But surprisingly, Zachary remained silent, giving no answer. Vivian laughed bitterly inside - at this point, what was left to hide?

"Vivian, have you heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?" Zachary asked suddenly.

Vivian was caught off guard by this random question. "Of course."

Everyone knew that elementary school story.

Zachary's eyes turned sharp as daggers. "If I were the village chief, I would have killed the wolf the first time the boy cried out."

Vivian's heart jumped. "What do you mean?"

"I don't let dangers linger, Vivian. Do you understand?" Though Zachary lay pale in his hospital bed, his presence was commanding.

"So Sarah's the sheep in your story? What does that make me - the wolf or the child?" Vivian showed no fear of this side of Zachary.

Knowing she wouldn't get a response, Vivian left.

The next day at noon, she arrived with a thermos, acting as if their intense conversation had never happened. She casually set the soup on the bedside table.

"The doctor says you can leave tonight. I made this myself - first time I've ever cooked. You better finish it all."

Zachary took the bowl expressionlessly and lifted a spoonful. "Thanks."

A cold glint flashed in Vivian's eyes at his distant tone.

Trying to appear unbothered, she pulled out her tablet to work by his bedside. Her grandfather had been furious about the stolen rendering incident, demanding their project be completed before Pine Mist Island and be ten times better.

Their team had found new designers within a week. Fortunately, their previous designer hadn't held the incident against them and had even helped with a new design.
