The two simple pieces of fabric with straps attached were remarkably noticeable as they hung on the spacious balcony.
Lenora bristled in an instant, caught between embarrassment and a tinge of anger. “Zachary! You…”
Coins
“I what?” Zachary followed her gaze, a hint of amusement twinkling in his eyes, feigning ignorance as he
asked.
Lenora gritted her teeth, shooting him a fierce glare. She didn’t want to argue with him about this before Harrietta, nor did she want him to witness her discomfort. Without another word, she stormed off to the balcony and took off her swimsuit.
She quickly folded her swimsuit, ready to stuff it into her pocket, when Zachary’s large hand suddenly seized her wrist, snatching the swimsuit from her grasp “What are you doing?” he demanded
“What are you accusing me of?” Lenora retorted, freeing her wrist and reaching out to snatch her
swimsuit.
With a swift stretch of his arm, Zachary reached up high, while Lenora attempted to reach a few times but to no avail, which left her fuming. Hands on her hips, she glared at him. “Give me my clothes!”
“Why should I give you what’s mine?” Zachary declared, full of righteous indignation.
ou mean.
Lenora looked at him in disbelief, finding it hard to believe he could be so shameless “What do you yours? That’s mine…”
“You tossed it away, and I picked it up, so it‘
mine now!
Lenora opened her mouth to speak, but her mind suddenly went blank. “But…”
“But what?” Zachary retorted, “Am I not correct?”
Lenora’s face turned beet red, suddenly at a loss for words to counter.
Her face was flushed, her eyes moist with a mix of fury and frustration. Despite her anger, she had nowhere to vent, much like a puffed up pufferfish.
Zachary couldn’t help but let a smile creep onto his face. He brought the swimsuit up to his nose and took a gentle sniff. “It smells wonderful!”
Lenora felt a chill run down her spine, her ears burning as if they were bleeding, and her lungs were about to burst with anger, “Zachary! Could you possibly be any more shameless?”
“I can“A glint of mischief flashed in Zachary’s eyes, his lips curling up audaciously. He leaned in close to Lenora’s ear, whispering something softly.
Lenora’s face flushed in an instant, her eyes, like pools of water, glared at him in anger. She was so furious that her chest rose and fell rapidly, leaving her speechless. All she could muster was, “Y–You…”
He had just audaciously mentioned that he intended to use her swimsuit…

With a smirk playing on his lips, Zachary gazed at the pulled–up, slightly annoyed face of Lenora. He carefully folded the two tiny garments with an air of seriousness, tucking them into his pocket. “Don’t worry,” he assured her. “I’ll keep them safe.”
Lenora was furious,
Her complexion fluctuated between shades of pale and flushed. She shot Zachary a glare, scoffed coldly. then promptly turned and walked away.
Suddenly, she lunged back with a speed that was too swift for the eye to follow, reaching for Zachary’s pocket.
However, Zachary was ready for her. Before she could reach into his pocket, he seized her wrist and effortlessly pulled her close.
Lenora stumbled, letting out a gasp as she fell into Zachary’s arms.
From above. Zachary’s teasing voice could be heard. “Nora, are you throwing yourself at me?”
Lenora’s ears were burning hot, she quickly braced herself against his chest and extricated herself from his embrace. “Shut up, will you?”
Once upon a time, in her heart. Zachary had always been someone unattainable, calm, rational, and decisive. He exuded the charm of a mature man, exactly the type she was fond of
Somehow, recently she felt as though Zachary had transformed into a completely different person, acting all cheap and despicable.
Just like a young boy in primary school who couldn’t keep his hands to himself.
She was so irritated with him that she almost wished she could slap him.
Lenora stepped out onto the balcony, casting her gaze around. The living room, once filled with the towering presence of Harrietta, was now empty.
“Hattic?”
“Aunt Lenora, I’m here.”
The voice of Harrietta could be heard emanating from the room.
Taking a deep breath, Lenora brought his fingers together and fanned her face.
Once the warmth on her face gradually faded, she pushed open the door to Harrietta’s room. “Why did you suddenly go back to your room?”
Harrietta climbed out of bed, grinning cheekily as she said, “I wanted to give you two some space.”
Lenora was at a loss for words,
“Come on, let’s go play in the back hill.” Lenora gave a helpless wave of her hand.
Harrietta immediately jogged over, emerging from the room while asking, “Is Uncle Zachary going?”

“No.”
Two voices rang out in unison.
Harrietta’s eyes were wide open, her gaze flickering between Lenora and Zachary. She blinked twice before asking, “So, is Uncle Zachary going or not?”
Lenora gritted her teeth as she glared at Zachary, all the while declaring, “He’s not going.”
There was a distinct sense of rivalry between them, as if one’s existence negated the other’s.
Harrietta glanced toward Zachary, her head tilted slightly.
Zachary chuckled helplessly. “Hattie, I will not be joining you right now. Go and have fun with Aunt
“All right then.”
Lenora spent the entire morning accompanying Harrietta. During lunch at the restaurant, Harrietta asked her. “Aunt Lenora, we have to return home this afternoon. Would you like to come back with us?”
Lenora was taken aback.
Actually, she was intending to ask Sophia to come pick her up that afternoon.
Since she had already made arrangements to meet with Connor in three days, there was no need for her to return with the group.
However, she really didn’t want to spend time with a certain primary school student.
Lenora cast a glance at Zachary
Zachary was also watching her, his eyes unfathomably deep, completely absorbed in observing the expressions on her face.
Catching Lenora’s gaze, Zachary withdrew his own, chuckling lightly. “Why are you looking at me?”
Lenora coolly said, “It would be great if you could just vanish on the spot,”
Zachary smiled. I’m sorry, but I can’t fulfill this request of yours.”
With an expressionless face, Lenora let out a soft hum, sending a message to Sophia.
Sophna, however, stated that she was tied up with matters at the Tortell residence and couldn’t get away.
With a sense of resignation, Lenora rubbed her forehead. It seemed she had no choice but to share a ride with the primary school student.
She asked Harrietta, “When are you guys leaving?”
“Before dinner, Harrietta replied.

Zachary shifted his gaze away from her phone screen, casting her a tender look, a hint of amusement twinkling in his eyes.
She had no intention of returning with Connor.
It seemed the arrangements made last night had worked, she most likely had broken up with Connor,
The conversation at the table took a turn, Harrietta asked Zachary, “Uncle Zachary, will my grandma be coming for the New Year’s holiday?”
Should be. After you get home, you can call and ask her,” Zachary said, reaching out to serve Harrietta some food.
With a subtle shift of her eyes, Lenora sneakily glanced at Zachary’s pocket.
Zachary was engrossed in a serious conversation with Harrietta. Meanwhile, Lenora, maintaining a poker face, took a bite of her meal. She put down her fork, picked up her drink with her left hand and took a sip. Meanwhile, her right hand stealthily slid down from the table and slowly found its way into Zachary’s pocket
She lowered her gaze, stealing a quick glance, then reached in, carefully pinpointing the exact spot.
Suddenly, a large hand caught hers firmly.
Zachary’s lips curled up into a smirk, casting her a meaningful glance.
Caught red–handed, Lenora felt embarrassed and, in frustration, she withdrew her hand.
However, Zachary held on even tighter, his large hand enveloping hers, gently kneading it.
“Let go,” Lenora said softly.
“Nora, your hands are so soft,” he remarked.
With a warm smile, Zachary gently lifted her hand to his lips. He tenderly kissed the back of her hand before letting it go.
The warm, soft touch sent chills down Lenora’s spine, causing her to immediately wipe the back of her hand. She shot him a glance. “Where are my clothes?”
“What clothes?”
Lenora looked at him playing dumb, her frustration barely contained. “You know exactly what I’m talking about!”
Zachary chuckled. “Nora, are you being silly? How could I possibly be carrying those two pieces of clothing on me?”
As he spoke, he leaned in closer, whispering softly into Lenora’s car. “I’ve placed it under my pillow, from now on, every day
Immediately, Lenora reached out and covered his mouth.
