At that moment, Lenora swiftly withdrew her hand and spoke. "I'm a bit thirsty; could you geta cup of

coffee? The cappuccino.”

With one hand holding Harrietta and the other carrying a coffee, there's no chance we'll brush hands again,

right?

Connor's hand stiffened for a moment before he silently retracted it. He rummaged through the bag and pulled

out a cup of cappuccino, complete with a straw, which he handed to Lenora. "Here," "Thank you!

"You're welcome."

Upon arriving at the movie theater, Lenora began scanning the large screen for currently showing animated films

and their schedules. She also searched online for sreviews before allowing Harrietta to select one.

The movie was scheduled to begin at two o'clock, which meant they had about twenty minutes left to wait.

Lenora glanced around, noticing a row of seats to the right of the hall. She led Harrietta over to take a seat.

Twenty minutes later, when Lenora entered the cinema, she noticed that most of the attendees had brought

their children along.

The opening scene was already playing on the big screen.

The three of them took their seats, with Lenora in the middle, flanked by Harrietta on one side and Connor on the

other.

Although it was an animated film, the plot was far from childish. Lenora found herself gradually engrossed in the

storyline.

Connor wasn't as focused, occasionally turning his head to glance at Lenora.

The third time, he inadvertently met Harrietta's round, wide eyes.

With a look of innocence on her face, she asked in a soft voice, "Connor, why do you keep looking at my

aunt?"

Connor thought Harrietta was an innocent child, so he felt a bit awkward as he rubbed his nose sheepishly. "No, |

was just... casually looking around."

He averted his gaze, turning his attention to the big screen.

Upon his fourth glance, Connor unintentionally locked eyes with Harrietta again. He immediately turned his head

away, no longer daring to look toward Lenora's direction. Around four o'clock, the movie concluded, and the

audience gradually exited the movie theater.

With a steady expression, Connor asked, "Where should we go next? There's a new mall that just opened up in

Norwal City. Want to check it out?"

Harrietta sneered inwardly. Did that jerk really think he could keep following them around?

She yawned widely, wrapping her arms around Lenora's leg. "Aunt Lenora, I'm tired. | want to sleep."

Gently stroking Harrietta's head, Lenora asked, "Shall we head back then?"

"Mmm." Harrietta nodded heavily.

Lenora lifted her head, giving Connor an apologetic smile. "We'll take our leave then. Let's have a meal together

next time."

Connor had no choice but to agree. "All right. Did you park your car near the restaurant? I'll walk you over," he

offered.

Lenora initially wanted to refuse. However, just as she was about to voice her rejection, she held back and gently

nodded instead.

The tslowly made their way back to the parking lot in front of the restaurant.

Harrietta broke free from Lenora's grip, pumping her short legs as she ran toward the car.

A black car pulled up from the side.

Seeing that, Lenora hurriedly grabbed Harrietta and stepped back a few paces. Suddenly, she found nothing

beneath her foot, causing her to lose her balance and topple backward.

Connor reacted swiftly, catching her before she could fall. The sweet scent from her body wafted into his nostrils,

momentarily disorienting him. "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine." Lenora steadied herself before subtly extricating herself from his embrace. Her rosy lips curled into a

slight smile, and her naturally upturned eyes were accentuated by the curve of her glasses, adding a touch of

allure. "Thank you." Connor stared at her in a daze. It wasn't until Lenora called out to him that he snapped back

to reality. His face flushed a delicate shade of pink. Bashful and awkward, he stammered, "No... no problem."

"Then we'll be taking our leave."

"Okay."

Connor watched Lenora intently. It was only when Lenora was about to get into the car that he realized

something and quickly caught up with her in a few steps. "Oh, Ms. Wilkin, the coffee."

Lenora halted and took the bag from his hand. "Almost forgot."

After getting in the car, Lenora buckled her seatbelt and started the vehicle.

Through the car window, she waved toward Connor outside, then pressed down on the accelerator.

The car merged into the traffic.

Lenora surveyed the traffic ahead, then turned to Harrietta in the back seat. "Hattie, if you're too tired, you can

take a nap in the car."

Harrietta replied, "Aunt Lenora, I'm not sleepy yet."

Rendered speechless, Lenora glanced at Harrietta through the rear-view mirror. Harrietta's eyes were wide open,

showing no signs of fatigue as she giggled and flashed a mischievous smile at Lenora. With a resigned chuckle,

Lenora understood that the girl had been pretending earlier. "So, where should

"lI want to go see the kitty."

"All right, then I'll take you home."

Upon returning to the loft, Harrietta immediately began searching for Cotton as soon as she entered.

Lenora washed sfruits and prepared ssnacks, arranging them all neatly on the table.

Upon seeing the two untouched cups of coffee sitting on the table, Lenora immediately thought of Harrietta's

antics. Her voice was somber as she called out, "Harrietta, chere." Harrietta was busy playing with the cat

when she heard the order. She glanced over at Lenora and, upon seeing the woman's dark expression, she knew

she was in for a reckoning. She felt a pang of guilt, yet she managed to maintain an innocent facade. Her eyes

sparkled with feigned ignorance as she asked, "Aunt Lenora, what's the matter?" "Cover here."

"I... I'm playing with Cotton."

"Chere first; you can play with Cotton later."

The expression on Harrietta's face wavered slightly, a hint of unease flickering across her features. She lowered

her gaze, then walked over. "Aunt Lenora, what's the matter?" Lenora opened her chat history with Connor and

placed her phone on the table in front of her. "Explain this," she demanded.

Harrietta poked her fingers together, whispering, "You were the one who askedto choose."

Lenora reached out and gently pinched the girl's slightly rounded tummy. "Harrietta Fuller! Don't you know your

own limits when it comes to eating? Can you honestly say you didn't intentionally order all that food? Huh?"

Harrietta leaned back, almost lying on the couch. She pursed her lips in denial, shaking her head as she said,

"No, | just wanted to eat..."

Lenora playfully tickled her. "Still won't admit it? You just want Connor to shell out more money!"

Harrietta was laughing uncontrollably. "Aunt Lenora, Aunt Lenora, stop! Don't tickle me, hahaha, please, no more

tickling! | admit it, okay? | admit it, isn't that enough?"

Hearing that, Lenora stopped tickling the girl. "Hmph, thought you could fool me?"

Despite her best efforts, Harrietta couldn't help but chuckle. "It's his own fault for competing withfor you,

Aunt Lenora!"

As Harrietta watched, Lenora transferred the money for lunch to Connor. She also sent a message: I'm sorry.

Hattie is inexperienced and didn't realize lunch would cost so much. I've transferred the money to you.

Upon seeing Lenora's action, Harrietta was taken aback. With a puzzled look on her face, she asked, "Aunt

Lenora, why did you transfer the money to him?"

She then added in a mutter, "Wasn't he the one who said he'd treat us?"

Lenora explained earnestly, "Hattie, lettell you something. Even though Connor said he would treat us, you

should also consider his financial situation while ordering food. He's just started his internship and can't afford

too many expensive things. You might not have his young

and there are many things you don't understand, so | won't blyou. But | will teach you, and once | do, you

need to remember it and not make the smistake again."

Harrietta pouted. "All right then, | won't be like that anymore..."

"Good girl."

Connor responded swiftly: Ms. Wilkin, | promised to treat you this time. | can't take this money.

Last time, he had accepted the money solely for the chance to spend more twith Lenora. However, if he

were to use the stactic again, it would undoubtedly be lacking in decorum.

Lenora directly responded: Accept it this time, and next time, you can return the favor. Sounds good?

Deal! Without a second thought, Connor immediately replied, sending an animated emoji that couldn't hide his

inner joy.

If it meant seeing Lenora again, then so be it if he had to sacrifice his decorum.

Connor: Ms. Wilkin, when's the next time?

Lenora: You can choose the time.
