He didn't harbor any affection for Susanna. His feelings toward her were merely born out of guilt that he wished
to make amends for. However, after Helen hurt Lenora and his grandfather passed away, not a shred of that guilt
remained. He was fond of her, but she simply didn't believe it.
After all, it wouldn't make sense for him to propose divorce if he had been in love with her for a long time. If he
had fallen for her not long before the divorce, then he shouldn't have had a change of heart so easily.
"| didn't ask Susanna to quit acting, nor did I plan to marry her. Nora, | like you. | know you might not believe me,
but I still need to tell you that I like you. I've liked you for a long tnow. It's just that... | was foolish, and failed

carefully, her query delivered with a clear and sharp tone.
As she spoke, her eyes began to well up with tears.
Because of Helen, | was forced to stay bedridden to protect my unborn child. But with the passing of his grandpa,
and the loss of my child, he tellsthat he had feelings forfor quite stime. What a joke!
Lenora closed her eyes and took a deep breath before continuing. "If that's really the case, then you're the one
who caused our child's death. There's no way I'd reconcile with you, so you might as well give up on that idea."
This is all Zachary's fault! Just when | was about to let go, he insists on stirring up my painful past by bringing all
of this up!
Zachary was unable to defend himself.
Faced with Lenora's confrontation, all he could do was apologize, yet even that apology seemed pale and
inadequate.
Had he realized his feelings for Lenora carlier, he wouldn't have allowed Susanna to return to her hcountry,
nor would he have proposed a divorce. Consequently, she wouldn't have felt the need to hide her pregnancy. He

The receptionist spotted Zachary and respectfully rose to her feet. "Mr. Fuller, you're buyin Cotton, aren't you?

After she finished speaking, the receptionist sneakily danced at Lenora.
Lenora was not a public figure, so there weren't many photos of her available onlin
As such, the receptionist didn't recognize Lenora and assumed that Zachary had found him sweetheart.
She was just about to lift the little E-collared Cotton out of its cage and place it in the pet carrier when Lenora
stepped forward. She gently took Cotton into her arms and said, "Lethandle i

"I know; it's all right."
Upon seeing this, the receptionist let go of Cotton and told Zachary, "Mr. Fuller, please wait here with your

"All right.
Lenora settled down on the nearby couch, lifted up Cotton's E-collar, and scrutinized it carefully
After a month apart, Cotton had grown considerably, but still maintained the appearance of a kitten, with its fur
having grown a bit longer. Feeling the roundness of the belly, it seemed like a sign of a hearty eater.

It seemed to be saying, "Where have you been all this time?"

Lenora's heart melted completely, unable to resist the softness. She continuously stroked Cotton's back and
murowed back at it.
Cotton continued to meow as it kept its gaze on her.
Lenora responded by meowing back at it.
Just like that, the two kept meowing at each other.
The corner of Zachary's mouth couldn't help but lift into a faint smile.
Cotton was getting used to Lenora's affection. It wanted to nuzzle its head against the hand that was offering
this affection, but it was held back by the collar Cotton tried to claw and scratch at the collar, but it just couldn't
get rid of it. Unable to contain her laughter, Lenora reached out to tap Cotton's nose. Dodging swiftly, Cotton
managed to catch Lenora's index finger in its mouth, gnawing on it with playful determination.
Its milk teeth didn't exert much pressure, so it felt more like a tickling sensation.
The receptionist cover with the medicine and explained to Zachary how to use it. Meanwhile, Lenora, while
toying with Cotton, was listening attentively.
"All right; got it." Zachary said, holding the medicine box in his hands. He turned to Lenora and said, "Let's

Zachary halted by the driver's side door, the look in his eyes deep and profound as he said. "I'll drive you home."
"No need-"
"Even if we were to divorce, I'd still be your brother-in-law. What, you're going to reject even such a small
request? Are you planning to cut off all contact with Grandma in the future?" Lenora remained still. "Do you think
a divorced couple can go back to being just siblings
"Why not?"
"Seeing you remindsof those unhappy experiences, so it's best we see less of each other in the future. Don't
worry; I'll continue to respect and care for Grandma, but as for everything else, it's no longer necessary."
Zachary's large hand trembled as it tightened on the car door handle, a sour sensation rising in his throat.

With that, she picked up the pet carrier and turned back toward the pet hospital.
"Wait!" Zachary called out to her from behind. Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he said, "You don't need to
buy another box. I'll give you the medicine."
Lenora halted, turning around.
Zachary had gotten behind her before she realized it. As he handed her the medicine box, his lips moved as if to
speak, but no words cout.
Lenora took it, lifting her gaze to meet his. "How much did Cotton's medical expenses cost? I'll transfer it to you."
"That's not necessary."
It's necessary. We're already divorced-"
A wave of defeat washed over Zachary in an instant. "Since you insist on drawing such a clear line between us,
how would you thankfor retrieving your wallet from the thief, for rescuing you from the crowd,
for saving you from Maxton's clutches, for helping you counteract the drug's effects, and for rushing you to the
hospital? How about you repay all these deeds at once?" he said, his voice cold and distant.
Lenora furrowed her brow, she hadn't expected Zachary, who was typically ruthless and decisive, to be so
petty.

However, everything he said was indeed the truth. He had genuinely helped her, and she couldn't truly be
ungrateful or forget his kindness.
After giving it sthought, Lenora said, "All right, then. Thank you for retrieving my wallet from
the thief. As a reward, how much do you want for that? Thank you as well for savingfrom the crowd as well.

Seeing her earnestly contemplating on how to express her gratitude, even going as far as to use Maxton's
matter to provoke him, Zachary nearly choked
on his own frustration. Grinding his teeth, he said, "Forget about Certificate of Appreciation! If you really want to
thank me, then treatto three meals instead! I'll decide when!"
Lenora sighed as what she feared the most had come.
She would have preferred if Zachary had demanded a payoff from her. Even if it meant returning all the divorce
settlement she received, it wouldn't matter. That way, they would owe nothing to each other. However, this was
impossible as he was not short of money.

His request of three meals seemed simple, but it also implied that she would still have to interact with Zachary in
the future.
Lenora nodded. "All right, then."
"Go on home. I'll reach out to you when | need you to treat me."
"Okay."
Lenora hailed a taxi by the roadside to head back.
Zachary watched Lenora get into the taxi before he himself settled into his car. Just as he was about to start the
engine, his phone rang.
It was a call from Tamara.
"Hello, Aunt Tamara.""
"Zack, I've been tied up with smatters lately and won't be able to look after Hattie. | was thinking of having
her stay with you for a while, especially since she's on winter break now."
Upon hearing this, Zachary was momentarily stunned. "This isn't appropriate, Aunt Tamara."
Is something wrong with Aunt Tamara? She wantsto take care of Harrietta?
"Is there a problem? Back when she was in school, | could rely on our neighbors to pick her up and drop her off.
But now that she's on vacation, | can't just keep leaving her with them. After thinking it over, | decided to send
her to you. The little girl has been missing you ter That was when a flash of realization sparked in Zachary's
mind. "Well... All right, then."
During that encounter, it seemed as though Hattie had taken quite a liking to Lenora.
