That day, Lenora didn't go to Olswick. She told Sophia and Fiona about how Elijah had returned her wallet

to her.

Sophia nudged Lenora with her shoulder, a teasing smile playing on her lips. "Are you sure you don't want us to

follow?"

"I can go by myself."

Lenora could have easily invited Sophia and Fiona to join them.

Yet, she wanted to go alone.

Sophia sensed that Lenora had feelings for Elijah. She gave Lenora a supportive pat on the shoulder and raised

an eyebrow at her. "All right then, go for it. Try to win him over tonight!"

Fiona also suspected that Lenora had feelings for Elijah, feeling sympathy for Jonas. "Nora, be cautious. We know

nothing about Elijah. We don't even know what kind of person he is." "Don't worry, it's not what you're thinking."

She merely found Elijah odd and wanted to confirm her suspicions.

Sophia wore an expression that suggested she knew it all. "To explain is merely to conceal...

Lenora was rendered speechless.

The restaurant chosen by Elijah was a Japriumian eatery, a place none of the thad ever visited before. In the

far right corner of the restaurant, there was a row of small, private dining rooms, each separated by folding

screens. To the left, a shimmering bead curtain provi According to the information from Elijah, he had booked the

second to last private room.

By the tLenora arrived, Elijah was already waiting in the private room.

The sound of the bead curtain echoed as she pushed it aside to enter. Upon her arrival, Elijah looked up and

greeted her with a smile, "You're here. Have a seat. Did you manage to see a whale?"

Lenora placed her purse at the corner of the table and sat down across from Elijah, | did. | was lucky today. | even

encountered a pod of whales and breaching whales. It was so beautiful! Want to see the photos and videos?"

No rush." Elijah pushed the open menu toward Lenora. "Let's order first. I've already chosen a few dishes. You

can take a look."

“All right."

Lenora set her phone aside and looked seriously at the menu, noticing the pre-selected dishes. Her eyes,

brimming with laughter, curved like crescent moons. "Oh? Our tastes are so similar. That must be quite the

coincidence, don't you think?" 1/4

Even with a folding screen between them, Elijah could sense the sudden drop in temperature in the neighboring

private room.

Elijah played it cool, giving a casual smile. "Our meeting in this foreign land itself is a coincidence."

"You're right." Lenora added a few more items before handing the menu back to the waiter.

Elijah picked up the water jug from the table, poured a cup for Lenora, and placed it in front of her.

"Thank you," Lenora said with a smile. "Elijah, how old are you this year?"

"Me? I'm thirty."

"Are you married?" Lenora asked and took a sip of water.

-No.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Elijah raised an eyebrow, looking at Lenora in surprise, "No."

He had previously hinted a few times in front of Zachary about Lenora possibly having feelings for him. However,

that was merely to provoke Zachary. He had never thought that Lenora actually liked him.

But now, Lenora had invited him to dinner alone and was asking these questions, which left him somewhat

puzzled.

"You're handsand wealthy. Shouldn't there be girls actively pursuing you? Or is there someone you like?"

Suddenly, a thud echoed from the private room next door. Lenora looked over Elijah's shoulder, but all she could

see was the folding screen, nothing beyond it

She had not heard any noise from next door until now, leading her to believe that there was no one nearby.

Elijah noticed the temperature next door had dropped a few degrees again.

He smiled and said, "No, it's not that. | just don't want to hold others back."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm someone who values freedom. | don't have a steady job or a house. Ldo whatever | want to do. Others might

hands. She looked at Elijah with a face full of admiration. "To be honest, | really like someone like you!"

Sounds echoed from the private room next door again

Lenora didn't seem to care. She sighed and continued. Due to my family background, I've always been cautious

and restrained in my personality. So, I've always admired people like you, who do whatever they

"You flatter me. You're givingtoo much credit" Elijah looked at Lenord's servons expression, and his face

slightly stiffened.

No way...

Elijah only felt a growing chill down his spine.

"Everything I've said comes straight from my heart

Elijah remained silent. Fortunately, at that moment, the waiter arrived with their meal, sparing him from the

pressing issue at hand.

He took the plates from the waiter's hands, arranging each dish on the table one by one. Smiling at Lenora, he

said, "Don't just keep talking. Let's eat."

"All right." Lenora nodded. "Why did you choose this place? And specifically reserve a private room?"

Just as Elijah was about to make up an excuse, he saw Lenora raise an eyebrow. "Are you afraid of others.

interrupting us?"

Elijah was at a loss for words, feeling somewhat awkward.

Lenora had made it seem as if they were on a date.

Suddenly, a grating noise echoed from next door, reminiscent of the sound a knife and fork make when cutting

through a steak on a plate. It was particularly unpleasant to the ears. Elijah could even picture just how

unpleasant Zachary's expression was.

He never expected things to unfold in such an unforeseen way.

Lenora couldn't help but reminisce, "I remember when | first arrived at the Fuller residence, there was a time

Elijah, who was eating, forced a calm smile onto his face. "I'm a simple man. Your words are getting more and

more confusing to me..."
