An Argument “Why would I go back if you’re not? I’ve made up my mind. If you’re staying here to work for a year, then I’ll do the same. We can go back together next year.” Zachary stated matter-of-factly.

Vivian was taken aback once again. Regaining her composure, she pleaded earnestly, “Most of the Sinclair family’s businesses are in Tudela. Wouldn’t your presence here just get in the way? Besides, Grandpa is getting on in years and needs someone by his side. You should really go back.”

Zachary’s eyes were firmly fixed on her, hoping to discern something from her gaze.

“Vivian, why do I get the feeling that you don’t want me here? Why is that?”

Vivian’s throat tightened.

Zachary continued to speak. “Isn’t it good that I’m here? We can take care of each other.”

Upon hearing his words, Vivian was utterly at a loss for an excuse.
