“I…” Lenora was about to say something when footsteps echoed from behind, accompanied by Zachary’s voice. “Nora? Why haven’t you come back? Johanne, you’re here too?”
Johanne gave Zachary a smile. “I was just chatting with Nora.”
Johanne had a warm and genial personality. When Lenora lived in the Fuller residence, her relationship with Johanne actually improved.
Zachary didn’t suspect anything. He simply said to Lenora. “I noticed you didn’t eat much earlier. Let’s go. back and have some more.”
“Okay,” Lenora responded indifferently.
Johanne’s gaze lingered on them for a couple of seconds before he spoke up. “I should get going too Otherwise, Mallory might suspect that I’m out smoking again.”
Upon seeing the cigarette butt on the ground, Zachary lifted the corner of his mouth into a slight smirk.
Johanne whispered, “Don’t tell her.”
Zachary raised an eyebrow as he said, “You smell like smoke.”
Johanne paused in his tracks, lifted his arm, and sniffed his shoulder before saying helplessly, “I’ll take a walk outside before I come back.”
After lunch, two cars departed from the Fuller residence and stopped at the foot of the hill where the
cemetery was.
From the moment they set off for the cemetery, Zachary had become significantly quieter.
In the past, it was the same.
Lenora had found it quite odd before. Zachary had grown up by his grandfather’s side, and his father had passed away early. His bond with his father wasn’t deep, and after more than a decade, she figured that he shouldn’t be missing his father that much.
After she heard what Johanne said, it all made sense to her.

Lenora looked at the silent Zachary, a wave of mixed emotions welling up within her.
Once they had paid their respects, they drove back to the city.
“Are we heading home or to the Fuller residence? Zachary’s hands were on the steering wheel, his eyes focused on the road ahead.
“Let’s go back to the Fuller residence. It’s rare that we have some time. I want to spend it with Grandma and Grandpa,” Lenora said.
“Alright, I have some things to take care of. I’ll drop you off and pick you up in the evening.”
“Alright.”
After dropping Lenora off at the Fuller residence, Zachary promptly drove away.
By the time Zachary finished his work and arrived at the Fuller residence, it was already past eight.

The interview he had that afternoon was with a television station.
The interview questions were discussed with him beforehand by the host, primarily focusing on financial matters. Toward the end, there were a few questions about Zachary’s personal life, which served as his response to recent public opinion.
Previously, he chose not to go public. On one hand, it was due to Susanna’s career, and on the other, he simply disliked others prying into his personal life. He saw no need to explain anything to the online community.
These were two reasons. One pertained to Susanna, while the other concerned himself.
However, by doing so, he disregarded Lenora’s feelings
And now, he chose to give an interview for one reason only–he didn’t want Lenora to shoulder any more
blame.
She should have been able to stand by his side, openly and proudly.
After he said those words in front of the camera, the inexplicable tension within him eased up, making him feel significantly at ease.
After the dinner had ended, he rushed back without delay to see her. On his way, he passed by a jewelry store where a necklace suddenly caught his attention.
