The car came to a halt in front of an Epean–style restaurant, its name displayed prominently in Uprian letters across the wall. Guided by Zachary’s secretary, Lenora stepped inside, immediately noticing the bustling atmosphere. Every table was occupied, a testament to the restaurant’s popularity.
Scanning the room, Lenora quickly spotted Zachary, seated by the aisle of the third row. He was dressed in a black shirt and black trousers, his suit jacket casually draped over the back of his chair.
He exuded elegance, leaning back comfortably, his legs crossed in a relaxed manner. Sensing her presence, he looked toward the entrance and their eyes met.
With quick strides, Lenora made her way over, pulled out a chair, and sat down across from him.
“You’re here. What did you do at home this afternoon?” Zachary asked.
“I slept all afternoon.”
Zachary gave her a knowing look. “You probably won’t be sleepy tonight.”
Catching his implication, Lenora shot him a glare, but before she could respond, the waiter arrived with the menus.
Zachary ordered several dishes in fluent Uprian, his accent smooth and captivating. As he spoke, Lenora couldn’t help but recall his earlier days.
Back in school, he would spend hours perfecting his Uprian speeches, listening to recordings, and practicing until he could match the tone and speed of the original speaker. Despite his efforts, he was never entirely satisfied, always pushing himself for more.
Once the waiter left with their order, Lenora propped her cheek on her hand, resting her elbow on the table. She glanced around the restaurant, feeling a little bored, while Zachary watched her intently.
Her delicate features, framed by her flawless fair skin, made her look fragile and ethereal. Her clear eyes, cold yet captivating, reminded him of a serene lake, undisturbed by ripples.
After about half an hour, the dishes began to arrive. The first was a serving of caviar, shimmering and glistening on the plate.
“This is the house special. Would you like to try it?” Zachary offered.
Lenora nodded and spread some caviar over a slice of bread, taking a small bite. The tiny beads burst on her tongue, releasing their salty, slightly fishy flavor. “Not bad,” she admitted.
Though caviar hadn’t been her favorite in the past, she had grown accustomed to it over the years, gradually developing a taste for it.
Lenora ate a few more bites before the main course–filet mignon–was served. As always, Zachary cut her steak into small, manageable pieces before passing the plate to her.
After the meal, there were still two desserts left: a strawberry mousse and a Napoleon cake. Lenora finished both without much hesitation, satisfying her sweet tooth.

Once they left the restaurant, they strolled around the nearby streets, blending in with the couples who walked hand in hand.
Though they didn’t hold hands, they still drew the attention of a few passersby, their striking appearance hard to miss.
After a while, they wandered into a boutique, and by the time they left, Zachary had an additional rubber band on his wrist.
By the time they returned to the mansion, it was already past nine in the evening. Zachary, in a playful mood, led Lenora into the bathroom, and the two spent some intimate time together.
Later, as Lenora lay weakly on the bed, she murmured, “We can’t do this tomorrow.”
Lately, their physical encounters had become more frequent, and Lenora was beginning to worry about overindulging. She glanced at him, her thoughts scattered.
Am I being too indulgent?
Zachary caught her gaze. “What’s wrong?” he asked, pouring a glass of water from the kettle.
“Nothing,” she replied, shaking her head. Inwardly, she thought, This man… he really knows how to cha
If Zachary ever found out what was going through her mind, she knew it would lead to a long, sleepless night.
Over the next few days, Zachary handled his business at the branch company, while Lenora explored Navarre on her own. Occasionally, when Zachary finished early, he would take her shopping, indulging in brief moments of leisure.
Eventually, it was time to return home.
Zachary sent the secretaries back while he and Lenora planned a detour to Lofbury to visit Zachary’s aunt before heading back to Clusia.
Gerald and Allison had a total of three children.
Zachary and Johanne’s father, the eldest in their family met a tragic and untimely death when Zachary was just a child. He and his wife were involved in a devastating car accident that claimed both of their lives.
Tamara Fuller, the youngest in the family and the only daughter, settled in Lofbury. Being the youngest, she was exceptionally doted upon by her parents, and even well into her fòrties or fifties, she still carried some of that willfulness that had been nurtured in her younger years.
Her parents had once been deeply concerned about her future, often encouraging her to meet eligible young men and settle down. But despite their wishes, Tamara never had any desire to marry, and her parents, after much frustration, eventually gave up and allowed her to live as she pleased.
