Chapter 367

Vivian's eyes widened in shock when she recognized the male lead in the movie was none other than Nathaniel Blackwood.

"Seriously? That arrogant bastard is acting now?" She scoffed, crossing her arms. "Is the Blackwood Group going under? Since when does a CEO moonlight as an actor?"

Evelyn chuckled mischievously. "Rumor has it he's trying to impress the leading lady."

"Typical!" Vivian spat, her disgust evident. After learning how Nathaniel had nearly killed her for Cassandra's sake, her contempt for him had reached new heights.

The thought of him chasing another woman made her blood boil. "You made the right choice leaving him, Miss Lockhart. At least your children won't grow up witnessing their father's infidelity."

Vivian offered a faint smile but remained silent. Under different circumstances, she would have joined Evelyn in condemning Nathaniel.

But having seen the film changed everything. The man who wrote such a poignant, heartfelt ending couldn't be entirely heartless. His attention to detail revealed depths she hadn't expected.

"For your babies' sake, I'll refrain from criticizing him further," Evelyn conceded, taking measured breaths to calm herself.

She proceeded with Vivian's routine checkup, monitoring her pulse and blood sugar levels. "Everything looks perfect. Your little ones are thriving."

"When Mr. Osborne heard you wanted a water birth, he secretly commissioned designers to create a specialized birthing suite weeks ago." Evelyn's eyes sparkled with excitement. "It's an underwater chamber with glass walls extending into the ocean depths. You'll be able to watch marine life swim by during labor - very therapeutic."

"An underwater birthing room?" Vivian's voice trembled with disbelief. She'd mentioned the idea casually, never imagining Liam would remember, let alone make it happen.

"Of course he remembered," Evelyn said warmly. "Mr. Osborne pays attention to every detail where you're concerned. In my opinion, he surpasses Nathaniel in countless ways. Have you considered making him the father your children deserve?"

Previously, Vivian would have dismissed the suggestion immediately. Now, she rested her hands on her swelling belly, feeling her babies' lively movements. "I'll... think about it."

Evelyn beamed. "Mr. Osborne would be overjoyed to hear that! You're finally seeing reason, Miss Lockhart. A man who loves you will never break your heart like one you love but doesn't love you back."

Vivian shook her head. "Love isn't the only foundation for a relationship. Liam is my most trusted friend. That bond means more to me than romance. Besides, I need stability now."

Meanwhile, in Newport City...

Nathan Prescott sat across from cinema executives, finalizing distribution plans for 'Hunt My Everheart' when his phone buzzed urgently.

The film distributor reported a security breach - someone had copied the original movie files. Nathan's lips curved into a triumphant smile as he immediately dialed Nathaniel. "Just as you predicted. The bait's been taken."
