Lenora had already paid through her mobile phone, and she opened her call log. There were dozens of missed calls from Zachary, along with a few messages from him.
She clicked on each one, the first message read: Lenora, where are you? I’ll come pick you up.
The second read: I can explain the matter regarding the news.
The third text read: I’m sorry.
Upon seeing those words, Lenora let out a chuckle.
I’m sorry. Another apology again. He only knows how to apologize.
Knowing full well that he was in the wrong, he still chose to persist in his mistakes.
The fourth message was timestamped slightly later than the previous three: Lenora, your interview at the hospital entrance has been maliciously edited. I’ve already had someone try to suppress it. Where are you? Il come pick you up. When you see this message, remember to call me back,
Lenora opened Twitter and did a quick search. Sure enough, she found news about herself, recently posted by a few paid social media accounts.
The media had dubbed this news as: The latest response from Lenora Wilkin, Zachary Fuller’s rumored affair.

What response? I didn’t give a response at
However, the media and marketing outlets spun Lenora’s indifferent attitude as guilt, implying that she nts section was filled with criticism toward Lenora, along was too afraid to respond directly. The
with endless discussions and assessments of her appearance.
Netizen one: Just a nobody here, but I can’t understand how men think these days. Susanna is so beautiful, yet he still went after another woman. This woman can’t even hold a candle to Susanna
Netizen two: This clearly shows that for men, infidelity isn’t about attractiveness but rather novelty.
Netizen three: You know what they say, the grass is always greener on the other side.
Meanwhile, during this period, a series of video compilations featuring Susanna’s good looks had surfaced on various major video platforms.
The most viewed video among them was titled: Zachary’s Affair Partner Zachary’s Marriage Partner. Countless such videos dominated the web.
Setting aside those matters for now, there was another trending thread: Liked by Fuller Group’s official
account.
After clicking into the thread, Lenora saw a picture, which was a snapshot of the homepage of Fuller Group’s official account and a Twitter post liked by the account.
The Twitter post, released by a paid social media account, accused Lenora of being a homewrecker.

However, if one browsed through Fuller Group’s official account now, one would notice the account had removed its like.
However, this still provoked deep thought.
Netizens were all aflutter, calling the evidence irrefutable. Even the employees within Fuller Group couldn’t stand by any longer and were quietly standing up for Susanna.
Lenora knew that the operation of the official accounts of Fuller Group were handled by the Public Relations depart
A few swipes later, Lenora exited Twitter.
Just as she was about to shut down her phone, a call from Zachary came in.
Lenora swiftly rejected his call.
She tucked her phone into her bag, then headed to a cafe to order a latte. Settling down on a high stool, she nibbled on a skewer while sipping her drink.
Without her realizing, a young man had taken a seat next to her. He held a latte in his hands, nibbling on the straw as he cast a few glances her way, Gathering his courage, he finally asked, “Excuse me, miss. Could I get your number?”
Taken aback for a moment, Lenora gave a light laugh, shook her head and said, “I’m sorry.”
“No worries, sorry for the bother,” the boy quickly said, his cars turning a noticeable shade of red.
After finishing the skewer and drinking the last of her latte, Lenora lingered for a while longer in the cafe, Eventually, she got up and left.
She leisurely strolled along the sidewalk.
She had been ambling for some time when she soon spotted a club across the street. On a whim, she crossed the road and walked in, heading straight for the first basement level.
The first basement was a bar.
The bar was not very crowded at the moment, the lighting bright and clear.
On stage, a woman with a smoky voice was serenading the crowd with a folk song.
Lenora had just settled down at the bar when the bartender asked, “What can I get you, miss?”
Lenora was about to speak when she suddenly realized that she was pregnant and couldn’t drink alcohol. After a moment of hesitation, she finally said, “Get me a Sprite, please.”
The bartender was flabbergasted.
The bartender shot her a look that said “Are you kidding me?“, but still served Lenora a glass of Sprite. “Take your time, beautiful,” he said.
“Thank you.

Lenora took the glass, finding a booth in the corner to settle down. Her gaze landed on the singer onstage, her thoughts drifting off to an unknown place.
“You joined me in the cricket–filled summer, beyond the city’s clamor. The melody lingers, just like the gaze of your beautiful eyes. Without your tenderness, I’ve lost my reason to smile. Time can’t pause, it’s as fleeting as clouds. I truly missed you, in every rainy season. What you chose to forget, was what I found hardest to let go. so much to say, and I can’t finish it all. My story is all about you. How could I love him and leave with him? To give up everything I had for you. So much to say, yet the innocence of that
you time can’t be fully expressed. My story is still abou
There’s
The singer’s voice was not particularly remarkable, and her pitch was average. Perhaps due to the lack of patrons at the time, her singing carried a hint of nonchalance.
Yet, it still made Lenora’s eyes brim with tears, and her heart ached incessantly.
The emotions she had been forcefully suppressing all day suddenly erupted in that moment.
For the past decade, she had been an observer, watching Zachary evolve from a naive college student into the competent CEO of Fuller Group.
He was the one she pursued, the beacon in her darkest nights, the only story she had woven over the past decade.
She emerged from the darkness, covered in scars, and with all her strength, she ran toward him.
Throughout their three–year marriage, she had devoted herself wholeheartedly, exhausting all her passion.
He also tried his best to play the role of a competent husband.
But alas, what’s fake would always remain fake.
Time refused to stand still, and he had long since set off in pursuit of his beloved. Yet, she remained, foolishly waiting in the same spot, holding onto the hope that he might turn back.
In his heart, she was never his wife. Instead, she was his secret lover, an existence kept hidden from the world.
Over the course of three years, he visited Susanna annually, yet he never disclosed to Susanna that he was already married.
As Susanna had stated, in a relationship, the one who was not loved was the third wheel.
She was the third party who intervened in the relationship between Zachary and Susanna, The sweetness of the past only intensified the pain she felt today.
It turned out that all his kindness toward her was just an act, all with a hidden agenda.
She finally understood,
She wouldn’t believe him anymore.

“Nora? It’s really you! I must be in luck to run into you here.”

A familiar voice echoed beside her. Lenora turned her head and saw a man, fully covered with only his eyes visible, taking a seat across from her.
She recognized Jonas with a single glance. Lenora composed herself and gave a light smile. “Jonas,” she said, “How have you been? I seem to bump into you wherever I go.”
Jonas slightly pulled down his mask and replied, “I had lunch with some people from the television station earlier today.”
He gestured toward the club upstairs, tilting his head as he looked at Lenora. “I thought you might be feeling down and come to the bar, so I decided to try my luck here. I didn’t expect to actually run into you. Why didn’t you respond to my WhatsApp message?
“Sorry, my phone was turned off.”
“Seeking solitude here?”
Though it was a question, the tone carried an air of certainty.
Lenora pursed her lips, not denying anything. She picked up her glass and took a sip of Sprite.
“Don’t let those online articles bother you. What I detest the most are those unscrupulous media journalists, always stirring up trouble for the sake of traffic, capable of fabricating any sort of rumors.” Jonas had also seen the news of the day and assumed that Lenora was agitated because of it.
He continued to comfort her, “When I first started out, I paid a lot of attention to what people were saying about me online. As time went on, I came to realize that they were just a tiny fraction of the billions of people out there, strangers I’ve never met. They never truly tried to understand me. Instead, they vented their frustrations online based on a few media soundbites. Why should I care about them? My life is far more interesting than theirs. Once the hype dies down, how many of them will even remember this?”
Lenora smiled and said, “You’re right.”
Yet, what she cared about was never the discourse on the internet. All she cared about was Zachary’s
actions.
