Lenora and Harita walked into the living room, wortedly buging Tread
Tamara’s expression was stern. As her gaze veep onerrors, the made stemge to hide her displeasure.
Lenora greeted calmly. “Aure Tamara, Grandma
“Grandma!” Harietta scampered up to Tamara, her farming ale. Yourine
Tamara bent down, planting a kiss on Harietta’s cheekattie, Grandma’s here to pick you up, are you happy?”
Harietta paused, letting out an “ah,” and brought her index fingers together To we have to go back right
now?” she asked.
She didn’t want to go back just yet.
Tamara didn’t see a hint of joy on Harietta’s face, and her expression instantly darkened. “What you don’t want to go back with Grandma
Harietta’s face paled. She spoke in a low vence. “1–It’s like that I just want to stay here for a few more
not day’
Tamara returned home on the eve of the New Year, naturally intending to stay in her homeland for a few days to celebrate the holida
Seeing Harietta’s reaction, she was so frustrated that she couldn’t help but give Lenora a harsh look. She grabbed Harietta’s hand and started walking out. “Let’s go! We’re leaving right now?
Harietta shuddered, attempting to back away with her bottom stuck out, but she was no match for Tamara
“Aunt Lenora!
Lenora stood in front of Tamara “What are you doing Hattie is not refusing to return…”
“How dare you speak, even after the divorce you’re still clinging to Zack You think I’m not aware? It’s because you can’t have children that he’s considering keeping Hattie! If you truly respect the kindness of the Fuller family, then stay away from Zack!”
Listening to Tamara’s twisting the truth, Lenora felt a surge of anger rising within her. She took a deep breath to suppress it, just as he was about to speak, Allison stepped forward, grabbing Tamara’s arm. “Tamara What nonsense are you spouting?
Tamara yanked her hand away from Allison, pointing accusingly at Lenora. “Did I say something wrong?” she challenged, “Why did Zack have stomach bleeding recently Wasn’t it because of her! Even after the divorce, she still won’t leave Zack alone. Zack is too kind–hearted to see through your manipulations!”
“It’s the New Year, can’t you just stay out of trouble?” Allon scolded.
Boohoo!

Harietta was so startled that she started crying loudly.
Without missing a beat, Lenora quickly embraced her.

Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from behind, swiftly scooping Harietta into an embrace before she could.
As she turned around, Lenora found herself face to face with Zachary
He held Harietta in his arms with one hand, while gently wiping away the teardrops on her face with the other. He softly cooed, “Hattie, don’t cry. Your uncle is here. If you don’t want to leave, you don’t have to No one can force you.”
Harietta buried her small face into Zachary’s shoulder, sobbing quietly.
Zachary gently patted her back, his gaze shifting toward Tamara. His expression was nonchalant as he said, “Aunt Tamara, since you’re back, you should properly spend the New Year here. If not, maybe you should return. I believe Lofbury suits you better.”
Tamara looked at Zachary in disbelief. “Zack, are you really driving me away? I’m your aunt, and you’re doing this for this woman…
The woman you’re talking about, she’s the one I love! respect you as my elder, but if you can’t even keep up appearances for the next few days, then I’m afraid I can’t tolerate you!” Zachary’s expression was grave, his demeanor exceptionally serious.
Lenora glanced at him, her face expressionless.
He had let the culprit who caused Gerald’s death go free, claiming he had his reasons, yet refused to disclose what those reasons were.
The person he held dear in his heart should have been Susanna, he had already admitted to that.
“Fine, fine, fine!” Tamara sneered in frustration, “You’re so taken with her now, you don’t even recognize your own aunt!”
With a cold huff, she strode upstairs. As she passed by Lenora, she shot him a stern look. “For Zack’s sake, I won’t hold anything against you. But from now on, don’t even think about getting close to Hattie!”
After she finished speaking, she hurriedly ascended the stairs.
Once her figure had vanished at the stairwell, Allison consoled Lenora, “Nora, don’t heed your aunt’s reckless words. I’ve spoiled her, and she tends to make a fuss when things don’t go her way. It’s been like this for so many years.” Sigh.
“Grandma, I understand.”
The elderly couple had shown kindness to Lenora, so she was willing to tolerate a few harmless insults from Tamara. After all, she only had to see her once or twice a year.
“Does this mean I really can’t play with Aunt Lenora anymore?” Harietta muttered softly, wrapping her. small arms around Zachary’s neck. Her big, red eyes stared at Lenora with a look of reluctance.
“Of course not,” Zachary immediately responded, “If you want to hang out with Aunt Lenora, no one can

stop you.”
-What if grandma gets angry?”
“Grandma was just upset for a moment, besides, you have me.
“Mmm.” Harietta leaned her head on Zachary’s shoulder, displaying a deep sense of trust.
With their similar features, they looked even more like a true father and daughter.
Allison gazed at the scene before her, and recalling Tamara’s demeanor, her expression shifted. An unbelievable thought surfaced in her mind.
Could it be, was Hattie truly Zachary’s biological daughter?
Tamara had been living alone for many years, so how did she suddenly get the idea to adopt a child?
This child–bore such a striking resemblance to Zachary
Moreover, Harietta was perfectly healthy, so why had her parents abandoned her?
How could it be possible for Tamara, a bachelor, to adopt a healthy child?
But Allison knew well, Zachary was not the type to mess around outside. If he was the father of the child, then who was the mother?
Could it be that she was overthinking things?
The old lady’s mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, akin to a tangled mess, but she didn’t let it show.
At noort, everyone managed to have lunch peacefully. Lenora spent some time with Allison before excusing herself, claiming she had matters to attend to
She drove to the cafe where she had arranged to meet Connor. Connor was already waiting at a corner
spot.
His eyes kept darting toward the door, anxiety gnawinght him. His palms were clammy with sweat, gripped by the fear that Lenora would deliver a harsh verdict,
“Lenora, you’ve arrived.”
Lenora took a seat in front of him.
Watching Lenora calmly ordering coffee from the waiter, Connor couldn’t help but clench his fists.
As soon as the waiter left, he couldn’t wait to prove his worth. “Lenora, I’ve asked my dad about Mr. Wagner’s situation,” he said.
To be honest, his mind was a chaotic mess that day, his heart filled with a sense of desolation.
Lenora was young, beautiful, and wealthy. In this day and age, being divorced was hardly a big deal—and, in fact, it did him a huge favor.
And what about him? He had nothing and only caused Lenora constant worry.

After everything that had happened, Connor couldn’t understand why Lenora hadn’t broken up with him.
Upon returning home, his first order of business was to inquire his father about the things Lenora had assigned him. In his quest for answers, he spun a web of lies, hoping to obtain useful information for Lenora. At least that way, he could prove that he was of some use.
Lenora was surprised. She had assumed that he wouldn’t have the inclination to ask in these past few days.
“Do tell.”
“My dad told me that the money Mr. Wagner borrowed was indeed from Gaston. Gaston was my dad’s childhood friend. When my dad was young, his family ran into trouble, and his grandparents were sent to reform. He was sent to live with relatives, who sold him to the family of my current grandparents. Later, my dad ran into Gaston while he was working in the city… To be honest, I didn’t even know my dad had been sold off like that. He’s older now, and he doesn’t seem to mind.
Lenora lowered her gaze, a subtle glimmer flashing in her eyes. She nodded. “I get it now.”
