When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438 Arranged Marriage
Martha told Cecilia that her health had improved recently, reassuring her not to worry.

Cecilia then called Elliot, but the nurse informed her that the child was already asleep.

She then called Jonathan. When the video call was connected, Cecilia saw a luxuriously decorated children's room on the other side.

“Jon?”

Jonathan, dressed in a sharp little suit, appeared on the screen like an old soul.

“Mommy, sorry, I've been busy.”

“Are you at Ms. Kennedy's house?” Cecilia asked.

Jonathan nodded and then added, “To be precise, it's the house that Ms. Kennedy's father gifted me.”

Roland was particularly fond of Jonathan, so much so that he would have plucked the stars from the sky for him if he could.

Right now, Roland was urging Jonathan to continue their chess game. Jonathan hadn't spoken with Cecilia for long before Roland called out, “Jonathan, who are you talking to? Come on and finish the chess game with Grandpa.”

Hearing this, Jonathan could only apologize and say goodbye to Cecilia.

Honestly, he had been extremely busy lately.

Roland didn't just enjoy playing chess and reading with him. He also loved taking him around to show off to his elderly friends.

After shutting down the computer, Jonathan went to the living room.

Roland was sitting there, resting his chin on his hand with a troubled expression as he looked at the chessboard, which was clearly a losing position.

“Jonathan, you didn't trick me, did you? I've heard that nowadays you can play chess on your phone. Were you using your phone to play against me?”

They had played ten games, and Roland hadn't won a single one.

Losing to a four-year-old was quite embarrassing.

Roland's phone rang. It was George, Zachary's grandfather calling.

“Hey, Old Mr. Sinclair! What's up?” Roland answered on speaker.

“Well, in two days, Nicholas is getting engaged, right? I was thinking, why don't we strengthen the bond between our families too? Let's have Zach and Vivian get engaged as well. What do you think?” George asked.

George seemed particularly eager to become in-laws with him.

Roland had been worried that the Sinclair family, being a prominent family, might not accept Vivian because she had a child. He was surprised to hear that George was now initiating the engagement proposal with such enthusiasm. After all, George was known for being difficult.

Despite Vivian's silent signals to him, Roland quickly agreed, “Sure, sure! But Vivian made some mistakes when she was younger...”

Roland hesitated, thinking he should tell George about Vivian having a child.

However, before he could finish, George interrupted him, “I already know. Zach told me everything. He's no angel himself. As long as Vivian doesn't mind him, we're good to go. We can announce the engagement the day after tomorrow, right after Nicholas' event. We'll hold the engagement party later.”

“No problem!” Roland said, his face beaming with joy.
