No Remarriage for us Stay Away (Lenora and Zachary) novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485 Up To No Good
Glancing at the time, Lenora said, “You two should head back. Soph will be home soon.”

“Why do we have to leave just because she's returning?” Zachary asked.

“Exactly!” Harrietta chimed in.

“If she sees you guys here, I'm going to suffer.”

Harrietta pursed her lips. “Does Ms. Tortell not like me anymore?”

“That's not it. She doesn't like your father.”

Sophia's affection for Harrietta was grounded in reason. She was fond of the little girl, yet she constantly reminded herself that the child was the offspring of Isla and Zachary.

“Uncle Zachary, why don't you head back yourself?” Harrietta didn't want to leave.

She longed for the days when she could stay or sleep next to Lenora if she wanted to.

Zachary lifted her and said, “No. If you stay here alone, you'll cause trouble for Lenora. We need to leave together.”

“Hmph!”

Harrietta had no choice but to lean on Zachary's shoulder and wave at Lenora, saying, “Aunt Lenora, goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

No sooner had the two left than Sophia returned, luggage in tow.

Lenora was supposed to pick her up from the airport. However, since she was pregnant, she avoided driving herself and hired a driver instead. The driver had taken her to the shoot that had taken place a couple of days ago.

This time around, it was the driver who picked up Sophia from the airport.

“You're back!”

“Yes.” Sophia carried her suitcase to her own room.

Lenora raised an eyebrow, suddenly finding Sophia to be a bit odd that day. Usually, she would shove her suitcase into the corner, sprawl out on the couch, and start venting about her business trip. Why has she gone straight into the bedroom?

Lenora got up and walked over, lightly knocking on the bedroom door. “Soph? Are you all right?”

“I'm fine.” Sophia's voice echoed within the room.

“May I come in?”

“Come in.”

Lenora pushed the door open and immediately noticed a suitcase propped up in the corner of the room. She was sprawled out on the bed, looking boneless and completely relaxed. She glanced up at Lenora and continued to lay there. “Flying is so exhausting.”

“I was worried something had happened to you. If you're tired, just rest. I'll go make dinner.”

“All right.”

While Lenora was bustling about in the kitchen, Sophia came in with a kettle. She washed it out and then left.

In less than two minutes, she came in and picked up a cup.

A minute later, she came back in, searching for coffee beans in the cabinet.

“Don't you dislike drinking coffee?” Lenora couldn't help but ask.

“I'm suddenly feeling the urge to drink.”

“Soph, you seem off today. Did something happen during your business trip?” Lenora asked with concern.

Sophia hesitated for a moment before she said in a conflicted tone, “When I was away on the business trip, Zephyr came to see me.”

Lenora was slightly stunned. “Is he back in the country? Has he been bothering you again?”

“Yes...”

“He's still up to no good and trying to juggle three relationships at once! Does he often bother you?”

Sophia shifted the topic and said, “He mentioned that Isla is Matthew's niece, and he only regards her as a sister. As for Alice, he showed me the surveillance footage. It was Alice who embraced him, and he immediately pushed her away.”

Lenora's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Sophia. She circled around Sophia three times, scrutinizing her from top to bottom, back and forth.
