Two individuals emerged from either side of the back seat. One was Jeremiah, the other was Daniel
Zachary didn’t turn the visitors away. Instead, he welcomed them into his study and invited them to sit down for coffee.
After exchanging pleasantries, Jeremials announced the decisions made at the shareholders‘ meeting.
Upon hearing the news, Zachary remained unperturbed, his demeanor as elegant as ever. He gracefully brewed a cup of coffee for the two directors, subtly indicating that he had no immediate plans to return to Fuller Group.
There were two reasons for this. Firstly, the death of his grandfather had deeply affected him. Shortly after, his wife had suffered a miscarriage. These two incidents had dealt him a heavy blow, requiring time for him to recover. He simply didn’t have the energy to deal with company affairs.
Secondly, he had mentioned before that his ideas didn’t align with those of the board of directors. Moreover, with Johanne currently holding the position of CEO, he didn’t want to create a rivalry between him and his brother.
Jeremiah and Daniel exchanged helpless glances, finished their cups of coffee, and left with empty hands.
With each passing day that the position of the chairman remained vacant, the sentiments of the shareholders remained unsettled.
Subsequently, Daniel visited twice more, but both times proved fruitless.
Lenora had been staying in the hospital for five days. On the fifth day. Sophia came to visit her at the hospital.
Sophia offered words of comfort. “Don’t feel as if the loss of a child means the end of all hope. A child is just a part of our lives, not the entirety of it. The same goes for other family members. They can influence our lives, but they can’t dictate it completely. We are our own individuals. We live not for them but for ourselves. To live happily is the best way to honor our journey in this world!”
That was how her parents raised her.
Sophia felt fortunate to have been born into a family with decent living conditions, and parents who were quite open–minded.
However, Sophia knew that her upbringing and personality were different from Lenora’s.
Lenora’s early experiences had inevitably led her to value the scarce familial love she possessed.
She didn’t expect Lenora to understand everything all at once.
“Speaking of which, have you discussed with Tyrant Fuller about when you’re getting a divorce?”
Lenora responded, “Once I’ve recovered, and after we return from Eternal Monastery!“.
“What about after the divorce? Have you thought about what you want to do?”

Lenora shook her head, gazing absently out of the window.

It was at this moment that she realized that without her job, without her children, and now without her marriage, she was at a loss as to how she should live her life from then on.
Sophia suggested to her, “If you divorce Tyrant Fuller, he should give you a substantial settlement, right? You wouldn’t need to work anymore. You could do things you enjoy, like looking after cats, binge–watching your favorite shows, or traveling. Anything, really. Do you have any hobbies or interests? Honestly. I bet a lot of people would be envious of you!”
“Hobbies or interests?”
Upon careful reflection. Lenora surprisingly found herself unable to identify any particular hobbies or
interests
In the past, her life was largely consumed by her studies.
She was enamored with someone, someone truly exceptional. She aimed to match his pace, even if it meant she could only ever view his back.
At that time, her father had recently passed away, and she was eager to find an emotional anchor. Driven by the innocent yet persistent feelings of a young girl, she managed to get into that top–tier university and became his junior.
This still wasn’t enough.
In order to have more in common with him, she chose a major related to his in the same college.
She studied diligently, all for the purpose of earning her place in Fuller Group through her own merit. Her goal was to gain his approval, to work alongside him, and to witness his spirited and dynamic demeanor.
Eventually, her life became predominantly occupied by work.
It was simply to stand out among all the projects, to catch his eye.
His single compliment could make her heart flutter for half a day, and even in her dreams, she was seen with a curved smile.
After 1
him, she was overjoyed, her heart brimming with happiness. Upon realizing that he didn’t share her feelings, she did her best to accommodate him, striving to keep their marriage going.
Over the past decade, Zachary had dominated a significant portion of her life, consuming all her energy and attention.
He would never know just how much Lenora used to adore him.
Now, abruptly removing him from her life, Lenora found herself at a loss for a time.
“Right, what are your interests or hobbies? You could explore them more. Take me for example, I love makeup. I enjoy seeing various faces transform into different styles under my touch. What about you? What do you like?”
Lenora shook her head. “I don’t know.”

“All right, then. There’s no rush. You can take your time to think things through. After your divorce, let’s go on a vacation first. Clear our minds a bit!TM
“Us?”
“Mm–hmmm.” Sophia nodded earnestly. “It’s us, you andine, and let’s see if Fiona is available.”
After giving it some thought, Lenora realized she wasn’t sure about her future plans, so she agreed, saying, “All right.”
“Then, I’ll take my time to plan when I get back. I’ll see where will be the best place to travel in winter.”
Starting from the sixth day. Lenora returned home to recuperate, a period that lasted until she had completed her postpartum care,
Miranda took care of her meticulously.
Zachary still resided in the mansion, but whenever they met, they would look at each other in silence.
The couple, once inseparable, now found themselves with nothing to say to each other.
Zachary gradually appeared less and less in front of Lenora.
Lenora often spent her days lounging on the master bedroom’s balcony, basking in the sun. She would sit there all day long.
The winter sun was warm and gentle, providing comfort. It was incredibly soothing
That day, when Zachary returned in the evening, he found Lenora still sitting on the balcony, gazing distantly into the horizon, lost in thought.
Ever since she lost her child, she had become incredibly silent.
Thus, the very next morning, Lenora was roused from her sleep by the noise of an animal outside her door.
The sound was so soft and adorable. It was difficult to determine if it was a kitten or a puppy.
Unable to resist, Lenora climbed out of bed and opened the door. There, a small golden–white kitten stood, its eyes round, mewling incessantly with hunger
For a brief moment, Lenora’s heart softened. She intended to take it downstairs to find something to eat. However, after she took a couple of steps, the little kitten remained motionless, tilting its head to look at
her.
She had no choice but to return, tentatively cradling the kitten in her arms as she descended the stairs, just as Miranda emerged from the kitchen.
“Miranda, where is the cat food?”
Upon guessing, Lenora instantly understood how this little kitten had arrived. She figured that Zachary must have also brought back some cat food.
“Mrs. Fuller, why are you out of bed?”

“I’m fine. It’s just a bit hungry.”
“Huh? Where did this little kitten come from? So adorable!”
“Do we have cat food?”
Miranda shook her head, her gaze sweeping over the rest of the living room. “No.”
Zachary brought the cat home, but didn’t buy any cat food?

Miranda suggested, “Should I go and buy some? However, it seems like there’s no place selling cat food nearby.”
“It’s not a big deal if we don’t have cat food. Is there anything in the fridge that it can eat?”
“Chicken breast?”
“All right.”
“Mrs. Fuller, could you please cook it for the kitten? I’m off to buy some groceries.”
Miranda picked up the basket and left.
Out of options, Lenora had to put the kitten on the ground. She took the chicken breast out of the refrigerator and prepared the meal for the kitten.
As she waited for the water to boil, she didn’t forget to gently stroke the kitten’s head, saying, “Be patient. Your food will be ready soon.
Zachary stood outside the kitchen, watching Lenora bustling about for the sake of the kitten. At last, a hint of relief could be seen in his eyes.
He silently withdrew, departing without a sound.
People shouldn’t be idle. The more idle they were, the more problems they’d encounter.
