When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 1348 A Bunch Of Clueless Men

Nathaniel, who had experienced similar challenges in the past, couldn't help but offer his insight. "Darren, don't say I didn't warn you. If you keep pushing her like this, you're only going to drive her further away." Darren, however, wasn't in the mood to take advice. "What do you expect me to do? She left home with my child, and I'm supposed to go crawling back and apologize?"

Off to the side, Mason struggled to suppress his laughter. He had always thought Darren was pretty emotionally intelligent, but seeing him now, he realized Darren had much more in common with Nathaniel than he'd thought. Both men were clueless when it came to handling relationships.

Zachary, who had been lounging nearby, engrossed in his video game, finally spoke up. "Darren, you're being too soft. If it were me, I'd just go and bring my daughter back. She can come and go as she pleases after that." He paused for a moment, then added with a smug grin, "Look at Vivian. She's completely tamed now, isn't she?"

Both Nathaniel and Darren turned to look at him, clearly unimpressed.

"Stop boasting already," Darren said, rolling his eyes.

To prove his point, Zachary pulled out his phone and called Vivian right then and there. She answered, already sounding annoyed. "What do you want?"

Zachary's tone immediately shifted, reminding her, "Don't forget what happened before."

Cornered, Vivian had no choice but to change her tone. "Is there something I can do for you, Mr. Zachary?"

"Tell Mdm. Paula to make fewer dishes for dinner tonight. I won't be coming home," Zachary said, almost casually.

"Is that it?" Vivian muttered under her breath. "I'll still finish the meal even if you're not home," she added, then more softly, "All right."
