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

Chapter 1388 Did Not Dare To Gamble

"Vivian, why have you stopped talking? Please, don't frighten me. Everything I've done was for your benefit. I'm well off now and don't need you to marry into a wealthy family. All I want is for you to have a future where you don't have to worry about anything, especially not about money. You know, our family was once considered nouveau riche. Before we had wealth, many people looked down on us. I don't want you to walk the same path as your mother and me," Roland pleaded earnestly. His wife's passing was in part due to lack of funds for her treatment at that time.

Hence, he was particularly afraid of being penniless in the future and that his daughter might have to endure hardships with a poor man.

Even though Ernest might achieve something in the future, he didn't dare to gamble on it.

Vivian understood why her father had acted that way, yet she still couldn't accept it at that moment.

"I understand. Don't worry. I won't do anything rash. I need some peace and quiet right now." She ended the call.

When Roland tried calling again, he discovered that Vivian's phone had been switched off.

He had no other choice but to call Zachary.
