Chapter 460 Helping You Relax
As she spoke, she cautiously turned to glance at the side. Harrietta was sound asleep, her eyes closed and unaware of what was happening. Still, they were so close, and there was a real risk they might startle her awake.
Lenora didn't want her to witness any intimate scenes.
Zachary remained silent, his breath warm against her cool neck, sending a shiver through her body.
He pressed his lips to her earlobe, sucking gently but fiercely, causing a surge of tingling heat to course through her.
Lenora's body responded with a subtle shudder, her toes curling involuntarily as she instinctively recoiled, her neck instinctively shrinking away from the sensation.
She quickly grabbed Zachary's hand. “What... are you doing?”
Zachary leaned in close, his warm breath brushing over her ear as he whispered, “I'm just helping you relax.”
“Don't...”
“Once you're relaxed, I'll go to sleep.”
Lenora bit her lip and said after a moment of silence, “No... Zachary, don't. Hattie is right here...”
Everything happened so quickly that Lenora's body tensed in sudden shock. Her eyes, unfocused, remained fixed on the ceiling as her breath came in shallow, rapid bursts.
Zachary softly kissed her cheek before reaching for a wet wipe, gently cleaning her up. Quietly and carefully, he eased himself off her and settled on the other side of the large bed.
“Let's sleep,” he said.
Lenora was speechless.
Drowsiness quickly washed over Lenora, and before she knew it, she had slipped into a deep, peaceful slumber.
As Zachary headed to the airport to pick up Lenora, Isla also arrived at Jacaster International Airport.
When she reached the arrival gate, she instantly noticed a familiar figure. He stood tall and well-proportioned, his posture almost mannequin-like, effortlessly drawing attention. His presence was so striking amidst the crowd that it was impossible to miss him.
Delighted, Isla wanted to greet him, but then another figure appeared from behind him. Isla froze, her expression darkening instantly. Her hands, once relaxed at her sides, slowly clenched into fists.
She recalled that a few days earlier, the person in charge at Fairlake had informed her that Lenora had discovered the truth behind their collaboration. After hiring a lawyer and filing a lawsuit, Lenora had returned to her home country.
What are they doing? They can't even handle such a simple task!
Isla watched as Lenora silently tiptoed toward Zachary. Just a few steps away, her phone suddenly rang. By the time she managed to silence it, Zachary had already noticed her presence.
Isla's eyes were locked on the scene before her. She saw Zachary effortlessly take one of Lenora's suitcases with one hand, while his other hand naturally clasped hers. They walked away together, chatting and laughing, completely at ease with one another.
The sight struck Isla like a sharp pain. Her heart felt weighed down, as if flooded with seawater, a mix of sourness and bitterness spreading through her chest, making her feel suffocated.
It turns out he has such a gentle, loving side to him, too. Yet, whenever he looks at me, his eyes are always filled with indifference. What makes me so inferior to Fay? Why won't he even spare me a single glance?
“Isla?” Alice stepped out of the arrival gate, scanning the area. She soon spotted Isla a little way off, seemingly lost in thought as she stared at something in the distance. Pulling her suitcase behind her, Alice made her way over. “Isla?” she called again.
“Hmm?” Isla snapped back to reality, turning to see Alice standing beside her. She forced a small smile. “You're here. Let's go.”
“What were you looking at just now?” Alice, walking alongside Isla, asked, “You look distracted.”
Isla lowered her gaze, a flicker of jealousy and bitterness flashing in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, “Fay's back in the country. I just saw Zachary picking her up.”
