When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1386

Chapter 1386 Subconsciously Compare
Vivian tightened the grip on her phone instantly.

Even though she had attended Ernest's wedding, she didn't dare to look at who the bride was, what her name was, or what she looked like from the beginning to the end.

She was afraid that she might subconsciously compare herself with the bride, worried that once she saw her, she wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it.

Thus, when Jennifer declared that she was Ernest's wife, Vivian was still in a state of shock.

“What do you want to see me for?” It took Vivian a while to muster up the courage to utter those words.

“There seems to be a misunderstanding between you and Ernest. I want to clarify things on his behalf. Please, I implore you to meet with me,” Jennifer pleaded earnestly.

Vivian was supposed to get married the day after tomorrow, and she should have declined. Yet, for some reason, she agreed. “All right.”

The two decided to meet at an utterly ordinary restaurant.

Upon seeing Jennifer, Vivian noticed the former's distinctively refined and slender appearance, which was different from her own.

“Hello.” She extended her hand in a friendly manner.

Jennifer also extended her hand. After a polite handshake, they both sat down.

“What is it that you want to tell me?” Vivian got straight to the point.

Jennifer remained silent. Instead, she reached into her bag and pulled out her medical diagnosis. It indicated that she had, at most, three years left to live.

Upon seeing the medical report, Vivian was in disbelief that Jennifer was stricken with such a severe ailment at such a young age.

Vivian immediately said, “Don't worry, there's nothing going on between Ernest and me. I'm already engaged.”

She was afraid that Jennifer might misunderstand her. There was a sincere look in her eyes.

Seeing that, Jennifer was certain Vivian was not a bad woman.

With that, she was finally at ease.

After she finished speaking, she quickly rose and fled from the place.

Jennifer also stood up, ready to step out, when she noticed Ernest had somehow appeared at the entrance.

“Why are you here?” Ernest calmly asked her.

When he returned home, he realized that Jennifer was not there. His parents told him that she had gone out for a walk alone.

Ernest thought it odd, so he decided to catch up to Jennifer. Just as he did, he caught her exchanging words with Vivian.

He then saw Vivian left in a somewhat distraught state.

Upon seeing him arrive, Jennifer didn't bother to hide anything. “I was meeting Ms. Kennedy.”

Ernest's eyes narrowed. “And?”

“I told her that she's always been in your heart and that our marriage was just a misunderstanding,” Jennifer said.
