At that moment, the waiter knocked and entered, serving the dishes one after another.
Zachary picked up his fork, shifting the conversation. Let’s eat,” he said.

The enticing aroma filled the room, with the lamb stew placed on Lenora’s side. Its scent subtly mingled with everything else, not particularly standing out.
When Zachary saw Lenora repeatedly reaching for the lamb stew, he curiously asked, “Is it really that delicious?”
“Do you want to give it a try?”
Zachary then reached out with his fork and picked up a piece..
As soon as it neared his mouth, a strong scent of mutton wafted through.
He forced himself to take a bite, chewing stiffly. He closed his eyes for a moment, then swallowed.
“How is it?”
Judging by his expression, Lenora didn’t hold much hope.
“Not bad.” Zachary said with a poker face,
“If you don’t like it, don’t force yourself,” Lenora said.
Yet, unbeknownst to her, her words had somehow struck a sensitive chord within Zachary
After finishing one piece, he picked up another.
Halfway through her meal, Lenora paused, pursed her lips, and glanced at Zachary, “Zachary,” she began.
“Yes?” Zachary looked up.
“Thank you,” Lenora said sincerely.
“What are you thanking me for?”
“Even though you bypassed me and dealt directly with Susanna, depriving me of my right to know, I still want to thank you…”
Zachary paused, lowering his gaze.
He concealed her origins for her own good, but when it came to the matter of her having given birth, he kept it a secret due to his own selfish motives.
He feared she would remember, worried that the child belonged to the man she loved, and dreaded the thought of her leaving.
It would be best if this matter remained a secret for a lifetime.

Otherwise, he couldn’t shake the anxiety that she might blame him for allowing her child to remain lost, with no knowledge of their whereabouts,
Let’s discuss it when she truly finds out.
“No problem.” Zachary shifted the topic. “Didn’t you just mention earlier that this might not be true? Now you believe it?”
“Can I not do that?”
Noticing the nuances in her expressions, Zachary smiled and replied, “All right.”
She was the type who often said one thing but meant another.
Deep down, she had believed him long ago, genuinely touched by his words. Yet, she feigned disbelief, trying to play him for a fool.
Fortunately, he understood her well enough not to be deceived.
After dinner, the driver took the two of them home.
First, Lenora was dropped off. As they arrived at the entrance of the residential area, she got out of the car and bid farewell to Zachary,
Zachary reminded, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning to drop off Hattie at school”
“All right.”
When Lenora returned home, she found Sophia lounging on the sofa, a face mask applied as she scrolled through her phone.
When Lenora left in the morning, Sophia knew she had arranged to meet with Ezekiel.
Lenora chuckled. “No, I got held up with something else.”
Sophia let out a sigh, complaining. “Had I known it would be like this today, I would planned to sleep all day, but that didn’t happen.”
“What’s going on?”
Sophia pointed upstairs. “The renovation, it only started today.”
Lenora raised an eyebrow, “Is there someone upstairs?”
“Must be, the renovation noise is giving me a headache
…gone out too. I
“It should get better after a while. If it really doesn’t, you could always go back and stay at home for a few days”
Sigh…
After a brief chat with Sophia, Lenora decided to do some yoga. Once the session was over, she took a bath, leaving her body feeling completely relaxed. She then laid down on her bed, played with her phone for a while, and eventually drifted off to sleep.

She closed her eyes, letting her mind drift into emptiness.
For some reason, sleep eluded her that night.

Susanna’s words from that afternoon still haunted her. With Zachary protecting you, of course you can do as you please…
Susanna’s words seemed to suggest that Zachary was quite fond of her.
Looking at the facts, it was clear that Zachary had indeed made a deal with Susanna for her sake, forsaking his vengeance for Gerald.
He had also stepped in because he didn’t want her to be Susanna’s assistant and be bullied by Susanna. So, he had sought out Susanna for another round of negotiation
Lenora rolled over, letting out a sigh.
She recalled the time right after her divorce when she was traveling abroad. Zachary had followed her throughout the journey, offering his assistance on numerous occasions…
Perhaps, what Zachary had been saying all along was true, he was fond of her.
Lenora felt a wave of melancholy, reassurance, and complexity in her heart.
After years of unrequited love, there was finally a response.
However, it was too late, they were already divorced….
Zachary had always wanted to remarry her.
Lenora recalled the question Sophia had asked her at the party that day–did she still love Zachary?
Does she?
Lenora opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling, unable to respond.
Having been divorced for so long, she still couldn’t firmly utter those two words, in reality, the answer was already there.
In truth, she still had feelings for Zachary
It was precisely because of her affection for him that she couldn’t bring herself to accept his aid without a pang of guilt. She didn’t want him to think less of her, nor did she want to feel inferior in his presence.
However, this affection was no longer as pure as it had been during their teens or early twenties.
In the past, Zachary was the anchor of her emotions, with her studies and work all aimed at keeping pace with him.
But now, loving him was just a part of life, something that could be there or not. She had other things to
- do.
As for remarrying, she didn’t have any plans for that at the moment.

Lenora turned over, closing her eyes, and forced hers to fall atorg
On the morning of the seventeenth day of the fire mh, Zahary’s driver arrived at Lenor’s residence at seven thirty

Lenora opened the back door of the car. Marietta was sy shifting her schoolbag to the middle “Aunt Lenora, hop in quickly she urged
Zachary sat on the other ude, with a laptop resting on his legs, seemingly engrossed in some work He looked up at Lenora when he heard the door open
Lenora got into the car and closed the door. “Hattie
“Are you nervous for your first day of school in facaster
“No!” Harietta said, tilting her face up.
“That’s good. Once you’re at school, get along well with your classmates. If anything comes up, don’t hesitate to call Uncle Zachary or me, Lenora advised.
“I understand, Aunt Lenora.
“Did you bring everything?” Lenora glanced at her small backpack
Zachary glanced up at Lenora, a trace of melancholy flashing in his eyes.
The way she was showing concern for Harietta now seemed somewhat familiar.
It was so much like the time before he left on a business trip, when she helped him pack his luggage. She would repeatedly check and remind him of things, always hoping for his early return
He indeed returned on time, but with Susanna by his side.
At that time, she had just found out she was pregnant. He couldn’t imagine how distressed she must have felt.
Harietta unzipped her backpack for Lenora to see.
Inside, apart from stationery, there were also quite a few snacks.
Harietta blinked and chuckled. “Aunt Lenora, don’t get the wrong idea, I was planning on sharing these with my classmates.
“Such a good girl for sharing your snacks.”
Zachary reined in his emotions and said, “It’s okay to share, but don’t let yourself be taken advantage of understand? Hattie.”
“Right, I understand.” Harietta nodded.

She had no intention of playing the fool.
In the midst of their conversation, they arrived at the kindergarten at seven fifty.
The two of them escorted Harietta inside together.
Class was about to begin. In the preschool classroom, the children had already taken their seats.
Upon seeing them approach, the teacher greeted them and pointed to an empty spot in the middle by the window. “Let’s have Harrietta sit there for now, and if its not suitable, we can make adjustments.”
“All right,” Zachary responded.
Well, Harrietta, shall we go in?”
“Okay,” Harietta responded. She turned and waved at Zachary and Lenora. “Goodbye, Uncle Zachary, Aunt Lenora!”
“Goodbye, Hattie, I will come pick you up tonight!”
“Kiss..
Harietta, carrying a small backpack, walked into the classroom. She briefly introduced herself to the class before taking a seat at her desk.
The other children found Harietta, the now transfer student, to be quite fascinating and they would always watch her.
Lenora and Zachary didn’t leave immediately. Instead, they observed from outside the window for an entire class. Seeing that Harrietta was adapting well, they finally decided to depart together.
